Okay guys, it's the season finale. Thoughts? Rants? Updated Parsons Shooting Games? Seriously, wonderful episode! The whole cast was GREAT! Ah, so good!
Anyway, I don't own NCIS or the last lyric/line/verse of the song I'm using. It's owned by The Pogues.
I'll Love You 'Till The End
Ziva wakes up startled. Her mind wracks with the dream she cannot get rid of. Parsons talk in the elevator four months ago still haunts her, but in her dream she has him pinned to the wall of the metal box. Now that she is awake, the former NCIS agent simply wishes for a hug from Gibbs, Tony, anyone. Instead, she takes a deep breath and walks to her kitchen. Grabbing a bottled water from her fridge, the woman takes a huge gulp before screwing the drink's lid shut and placing the beverage back in its containment cell. As she walks to her couch, hoping for sleep to come again, she sees her phone on her coffee table. Checking the time, the former Mossad Israeli Assassin turner former American NCIS Agent, decides 0400 is a reasonable time to send a text message. After hitting send, the woman feels awkward waiting for a message on her phone, then smirks as Tony's words come floating back to her.
"'Nothing's awkward between friends.'" He had said. She shakes her head remembering how they met. If she is honest, their whole relationship is built on awkward moments. She smiles; the memories of fun times are enough to calm her. What startles her is the soft knock that jars her awake. Wishing she had her gun, Ziva stealthily walks to her door and checks the peephole. With a sigh of relief, she opens it to find her former partner looking at her with a tired, yet just as charming smile on his face. Opening the door wider for the man to come in, he says, "When you didn't answer my text, I got worried."
Rolling her eyes, Ziva walks toward her couch leaving Tony to shut the door.
"I doubt I have any reason to be physically attacked." She answers as her friend sits beside her. When there is silence, she adds, "I fell asleep waiting for you to reply." Tony nods in understanding. The former partners lock eyes a moment, neither wanting this particular moment to end. Being the first to break away, Ziva splutters, "I don't want to hurt you."
Confused, Tony answers, "Zi, what's wrong?"
The woman wrestles with telling him what Parsons said four months ago, but is unsettled by the thought. Finally she simply says, "Parsons spoke to me in the elevator four months ago, and I cannot get it out of my head."
Tony takes her hand in his and asks the dreaded question, "What did he say?"
The woman relays the information to her partner. Tony sighs muttering, "Guess he did poke the bear." Ziva sends the man a quizzical glance that Tony simply dismisses. He opens his arms to her and she gratefully accepts. Smoothing his friends hair, Tony simply lets her stay, content that she is happy. What happens next he has no idea, but right now he is going to simply rely on his ninja needing him.
