Oh snap, OH snap, Oh SNAP! Gibbs! Evil McGee! Ugh! However, Tony being referenced as Ziva's boyfriend is great! But poor Ziva, she's always picked on. Tony may have gotten his car blown up, but Ziva keeps getting sent away from America. Poor Ziva. Anyway, so, next week should be interesting. The team saving Gibbs? Bring it! Mwahaha!

Where I Belong
Parsons left ten minutes ago putting the bullpen in a deafening silence. As each agent acclimates to the charges brought to Gibbs, McGee is left to rescue his computer and Gibbs is left to talk with the director. Tony watches Ziva as she sits down at her desk. He can see the gears turning in her mind, anger not a very abstract emotion that settles in the woman's brown eyes. Tony wants to ask her what is wrong, but Ziva's comment, "'It ended ten seconds ago'" wreaks havoc in his brain. Absently, the man starts clicking his pen as he chews on the words. He and Ziva were never an item, ever. Why would a comment about him being her boyfriend worry her?
"Tony!" He hears Ziva exclaim across the bullpen. Tony jerks his head up coming out of his downward spiral of endless questions as he slowly lets go of the end of the pen with a loud click.
"Thank- you." She mumbles exasperatedly. He gives the woman a quizzical glance and the woman nods toward his pen. Glancing down at the object in his hand, Tony places the pen on his desk. He notices Ziva glaring at the papers on her desk and asks, "What's wrong?"
"Gibbs is going to be tried." She states. "The only father figure I have left."
Tony absorbs her answer. She is the only father figure she has left. Schmael is a question for her now, her father is dead, and now Gibbs could be gone too. The agent watches as his partner stares at him. Slowly getting up from his chair, the man walks over to the woman. Afraid of his approach tactic, Tony opts for their version of platonic, by tilting her head up to his.
"We'll fix this problem Zi. Gibbs isn't going to go down without a fight and neither are we." He determinedly responds. Ziva moves her head from Tony's hand unsure of the man's words. She knows he is speaking of saving Gibbs, but part of her wonders if he is talking about them. She is so quick to end their new found relationship. She has her reasons though. Quickly dismissing her own thoughts, the woman looks up at her partner.
"I know." She says a weak smile on her face. He weakly smiles back at her as he goes back to his own desk and starts to work out how the team is going to fix their new problem. He smiles up at Ziva as she writes her reports.
She decides Tony is right. She is not alone.
