((A/N: here we go a new chapter, i hope you all like this one. This one was tough to right. Again i don't own the characters. ))
The next morning Ziva, Tony, Director Vance, Gibbs and Michael Rivkin board a C-5 plane. Rivkin was still in cuffs sitting between Vance and Gibbs as Tony and Ziva sits across from them holding hands not looking up just stuck in their little world together. Rivkin stares at the couple across from and disgusted by Ziva's decision getting involved with the Americans. He felt he was the right man for her and he believes he still is.
15 hours later…..
They landed in Tel Aviv, Israel… Vance and Gibbs escort Rivkin off the plane, Ziva and Tony follow suit. They chit chatted a bit before getting in Director David's car and heading back to Mossad office. No one said a word during the ride to the office. Once the vehicle has stopped everyone got out and followed Eli. Rivkin jerked a bit not wanting Vance and Gibbs escorting him anywhere else. Once in the office everyone sits around the table Michael demanding the American cuffs to be removed from his wrists. Eli stood in front of his desk leaning on it a bit looking at Vance.
"Could you please remove those cuffs from him?" Eli asked.
"Sure thing, Gibbs." Vance said Gibbs got up and removed then sat back down putting his cuffs away.
"Michael you were suppose to charm her not take it the extreme." Eli said.
"I didn't have a choice her heart was already wrapped around the American over there." Michael stated pointing at Tony.
"You are that very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo." Eli added.
"That's my name and don't wear it out." Tony replied as a smart ass but Ziva back-handed his stomach.
"Ziva, my dear why?" Eli asked looking at her.
"In the short time since I have been with NCIS. I've learned to love and have fun. That is something I was never allowed to do growing up." Ziva said.
"So you're using DiNozzo here to fill that empty void then there is no real relationship going on?" Eli asked.
"No and no, we do have a real relationship and I love every moment of it." Ziva added.
"That's too bad my dear, I will not allow it." Eli announced pulling the gun from his desk pointing it at Rivkin shooting him square in the forehead.
Everyone was extremely shocked that Eli took drastic measures to kills Michael Rivkin in front of them in cold blood.
"You Americans are to leave Ziva stays behind to fill Rivkin's duties." Eli ordered.
"NO! I'm not leaving without her!" Tony shouted.
"I thought you would say that." Eli smirked moving his arm pointing the gun at Tony.
Ziva's eyes went wide jumped in front of Tony throwing her hands out trying to stop her father from shooting someone she loves. Gibbs quickly drew his gun from his side pointing it at Eli.
"Eli, put the gun down. No one else needs to get hurt in this room. Shooting my agent will hurt your daughter as well." Vance tried to calm his friend.
"I will once he agrees to leave her behind for her duties here in Israel." Eli directed.
Ziva turns around looking up at Tony leaning her head against his chest.
"Tony please, just let go. You know I love you and only you. You must go back to Quantico with Director Vance and Gibbs." Ziva begged not wanting him to get hurt.
"I love you too." He replied and kissed her gently.
Eli lowered his arm putting the gun back on his desk, Gibbs simultaneously puts his gun back in its holster. Vance rises shakes Eli's hand thanking for not shooting his agents. Gibbs just glares at the man who is supposed to be Ziva's father. Gibbs being a substitute father to her, would not force her stay away from someone she loves. They get escorted back to the C-5 for the trip back to Quantico, well almost they. Ziva said her goodbyes to Vance, Gibbs and Tony. Mainly to Tony and Gibbs, she is closer to them than the Director of NCIS.
"Stay in touch Ziver, stay strong too. Email or call me if you want to talk because your father won't. I'll still be you father back in the states when you need me. You and Abby are my girls, I don't want to let you go but we are being forced to." Gibbs whispered in her ear as they hugged.
"Thank you Gibbs, that means a lot to me." She said brushing tears off her face looking at her father like figure at NCIS.
Eli David stood there watching the interactions of Agent Gibbs and his daughter. He looks over at Tony who is furious that he has to leave. Eli just smirked.
"Hey sweet cheeks, I love you I need you to stay strong for me. I'll be strong as I can." He said with a cracked voice, they hugged and kissed for a while.
"I love you too Tony and I will try for our sakes." She said with tears pouring down her face, she has never dropped a tear since Tali's passing.
The pilot on the plane announced that it's time for take off. Tony and Ziva parted saying their goodbyes to each other again. Gibbs nodded to her, it's a motion she learned from him while in the field. Gibbs puts a hand on Tony's back directing him to board the C-5. Once the plane took off, Ziva got into the car with her father and didn't say word to him.
