Notes: Ziva goes to the navy yard and an idea pops into her head. Thank you again for the avalanche of reviews in the last part (other then the negative one from a clear troll) it means so much that so many of you are taking a moment to let me know what they think about the fic heart heart

It had been a few days since anyone on the team had visited DiNozzo so Ziva decided to see what was going on. She went to the Navy Yard, getting a visitors pass, and went up to the floor she used to work on. When she got up there was a young woman with dirty blonde hair sitting on top of the desk she used to use, cross legged typing away on a laptop.

"Where is Gibbs?" Ziva asked her.

"MTAC," Bishop replied not looking up. "Are you Ziva?"

Neither woman knew how the other might react to meeting each other for the first time. Bishop felt a little intimidated by meeting the woman she had replaced, and had heard a lot about how tough she was. She wasn't expecting Ziva to just drop the gloves, but Bishop knew she could be awkward at the best of times but meeting her was almost overwhelming. She seemed friendly, and she was totally Tony's type. She was happy to finally put a face to the name, and felt a little more at ease.

"I am, yes," Ziva replied. "You must be Bishop."

"Yeah, it's good to meet you. I can see why Tony missed you. You're really going to donate for him?"

"It is nice to meet you as well, and I am, yes, my appointment is in a few days. I could not stay in Israel knowing Tony needed me."

"That's amazing. Tony's kind of like the big brother I never had and I'm not ready to lose that. When he told me I was so worried but when I found out they found a match I knew the odds would be so much better. You obviously care very much for him."

"I am just happy I can do something to help him. He is very important to me."

Gibbs and McGee came out of MTAC looking overwhelmed. She now knew why they hadn't visited DiNozzo in a few days, they couldn't get away from the case they had been working. She knew that DiNozzo understood that sometimes their job would keep them away. She hated to see them looking so tired and stressed out. She wanted to do something to help them, and was starting to think that maybe going back temporarily might be a solution, if DiNozzo understood why she might have less time to spend with him when a bad case hit.

"Gibbs, can I do anything to help?" Ziva asked.

"We're a man down Ziva."

"I could see if Director Vance would let me come back until Tony comes back. I already know how you work."

"You'd be away from DiNozzo more."

"I think he would be all right with it if I was the person keeping his seat warm until he can come back."

"True let's see what hoops you have to jump."

They went up to Vance's office, hoping for the best. Gibbs knew he needed the help but he always found it hard to find someone who would fit in with his team. This seemed like a great solution to the problem if she was able to get her badge back after all this time. She was trying to be optimistic but knew that it could be an uphill battle she was ready to fight in order to help if need be, even if she knew that she didn't want to stay an agent. She wanted something different when she finally got a chance to settle down with DiNozzo, and she didn't want their new relationship to come under scrutiny because they worked together. She wasn't sure what she might do after, but it didn't seem important then.

She was glad that Gibbs was on her side for this because she was sure that without him helping her she knew she didn't stand a chance to get the temporary placement with most of her old team, and hoped that Bishop would adapt to her style of work while she was warming DiNozzo's seat. She also knew that she would have a lot of explaining to do to Abby about why she wouldn't want to stay once DiNozzo was ready to return to work. She had already made so many hard choices when it came to the job she was afraid that she would lose herself to the job if she didn't give herself a deadline to leave.

Notes: I know it's prolly not likely she would get her badge back, but this is fic and sometimes you need to have creative license. Let me know what you think heart. Reviews are good for the soul.
