NCIS HQ, bullpen area

''And then he puked! Right into the garbage can!'' Hannah said and the rest laughed their head off.

''No way!'' McGee laughed.

''Yes way! Like my daddy said. I do not lie'' Hannah reassured him.

''I thought I also told you not to tell them 'papa things' '' Tony's voice, came from behind her.

Hannah's eyes widened as she turned. ''How long have you been standing there?'' She asked shocked.

Ziva and McGee looked at each other. They didn't see him either.

''Long enough to here which story you chose'' Tony smiled sweetly. ''Have you also told them that only five minutes later it was not only me, who was standing over the garbage can?''

Again the bullpen was filled with laughter. Until a strong female voice cleared her throat behind Tony. Everyone went silent and Hannah looked quizzically at the red haired woman.

''I think that we need to talk, Agent DiNozzo'' Jenny Shepard said, not showing any emotion towards Tony. Her eyes fell on the little girl. ''Hi'' She smiled. ''I'm Jenny''

''Hi'' Hannah said softy. Not sure what to think about the woman.

''Do you mind if I steal your father away for a couple of minutes?'' Jenny asked her.

''Depends.. Does he come back after those couple of minutes?'' Hannah asked.

''I promise'' Jenny said.

Hannah looked at her father, but he also smiled. ''It's okay, Hannah. You can trust everyone here, okay?''

''Okay'' Hannah nodded.

Tony followed Jenny up the stairs and smiled as he looked down and Hannah looked up to him.

''Who was she?'' Hannah turned to Ziva.

''That's the Director. She's Gibbs' boss'' Ziva pointed to Gibbs desk. To her surprise he was already gone and Ivy sat on his chair behind the desk. ''Where is he?'' She asked and looked to McGee and then to Abby. Both had no idea.

''He said that he was needed'' Ivy said softly.

''Oh'' Was the only thing that Ziva could say to that.

''Do you guys want to hear another DiNozzo family story?'' Hannah asked and everyone turned to her again.

''We would love to!'' Abby jumped up and down.

Hannah thought for a moment and then a grin and the twinkle in her eye appeared. ''Yeah they're gonna like this one'' She thought.

NCIS HQ, Directors Office

''Come on in, Agent DiNozzo'' Jenny said as they passed Cynthia and walked straight into the office.

Tony eyes fell immediately on Gibbs, who was already standing the office leaning his back against the wall.

''Sit'' Jenny pointed to the chair.

''Okay. What do you want to talk about?'' Tony asked as he sat down.

''You know, what I want to discus'' Jenny said firmly. ''First I want you to know, that I think that you have a beautiful daughter''

Slightly taken aback, Tony looked at Gibbs, but no weird looks or smirks came from the man. He looked back at Jenny. ''Uh thanks. I would like to think that she got those looks from me'' He grinned.

''I'm sure you do'' Jenny said. Tony's grin fell into a more serious face. ''Agent DiNozzo. I do not appreciate that you hid this from me. Had I known that you had a daughter than I wouldn't have suggested your last assignment to you''

''You mean the one with Jeanne?'' Tony asked although he already knew the answer.

''Exactly. We put you in great danger and if anything went wrong, we would have had the responsibility''

''I understand. To be honest, I didn't know what I got myself into. It was never meant to be go this way. Had I known that, and made it a possibility of Hannah losing her father I would have never said yes to the mission'' Tony explained to her.

''That's good to hear'' Jenny smiled. ''Seems like you are a responsible father''

''I like to think so'' Tony nodded.

''Well now, let's discuss the next thing. Agent Gibbs'' Jenny looked at Gibbs and he came from the wall and sat down next to Tony.

''DiNozzo. You are single dad'' Gibbs began. Tony narrowed his eyes not sure where this was going. ''I have seen you getting more and more tired everyday. That's not only bad for you health and for Hannah, but that is also bad for me and Ziva and McGee. We need you at your A game every time you come in. We need that we can trust you with our six''

''What are you saying?'' Tony asked.

''Director Shepard and I have decided that you can't no—'' Gibbs started but was cut off.

''No! No Gibbs, Director you can't fire me!'' Tony exclaimed. ''I love my job and Hannah loves me for catching the bad guys. You can't do this.. I —''

''DiNozzo!'' Gibbs yelled to shut him up. Tony was startled and shut his mouth. ''What I was going to say is, that we have decided that you no longer work full days and that you have full two days off in a week'' Gibbs explained. Tony looked at him surprised.

''Yes'' Jenny said. ''You are one of my best agents, Agent DiNozzo. And we can't miss you hear fully. We need you. But in order to be at your full strength we know that this is the best thing to do''

''But without those hours I can't afford my apartment or Hannah'' Tony explained.

''We foresaw that point, DiNozzo. For that we will give you a raise. It will almost compromise it and you will not lose that much money per month'' Gibbs said.

''Yo.. you would give me a raise?'' Tony asked surprised. ''Really?'' A grin spread his face.

''Yes, really'' Jenny said. ''You're a darn good agent, DiNozzo. We want to keep you''

''This is unbelievable'' Tony said softly to himself, yet it was loud enough for Gibbs and Jenny to hear. ''So I work only.. 4 days a week?''

''3,5.. do your homework, DiNozzo'' Gibbs said sternly.

''Right'' Tony smiled. ''But what about the days I can't be here?''

''We have assigned a new SFA. He will work with you and the days that you are off, we won't be needing to call you, unless it is an emergency'' Jenny explained.

''Okay. But it's not a probie right?'' Tony asked.

''No, he worked for New York, but moved to DC. He's about your age and has about the same amount of years experience'' Jenny said.

''Yet. He still has to learn all the rules'' Tony smirked.

''I'm sure you gonna help him with that'' Gibbs spoke.

''You're saying that I can smack his head?'' Tony laughed.

''Only when I'm not around, because I'm sure you already do that to McGee'' Gibbs said.

''What makes you think I don't do that to Ziva?'' Tony asked surprised, but got only a glare from Gibbs. ''When does this new arrangement go in?'' He asked changing the subject.

''Monday. You work than from 9:00 till 5:00, instead of 8:00 till 7:00. and you will have the Friday off and the emergencies call in the weekends'' Jenny said.

''I can live with that'' Tony smirked. ''Thank you so much, Director''

''You're welcome, but this was Gibbs' idea'' Jenny smiled.

''I knew that'' Tony said and turned to face Gibbs. ''Thank you boss'' He said sincerely.

''You gonna get all emotional on me now, DiNozzo?'' Gibbs smirked.

''Of course not, boss'' Tony smirked too.

In that moment The phone of Gibbs rang. He still looked at Tony when he picked up. ''Yeah Gibbs?''

''Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs! McGee's computer made a *ding!*, on Ivy's case!'' Abby's voice ran through the room.

''On our way. Take Ivy and Hannah to the lab and show them Bert or something'' He said.

''That I will do'' Abby said happily and hung up.

''McGee's got a hit, on Ivy's case'' Gibbs explained and stood up. Tony followed him.

''Before we go down, I have to tell you something'' Tony said one outside the office.

''And that is?'' Gibbs asked.

''Ivy lied. She opened the door, not her mom. The killer tried to get her but her mom came too soon. That's how she got the cut on her arm. Point it was she knew him. Ivy said that it was one of her moms coworkers'' Tony explained.

''Alright. Than we look up what she does for work and then show the coworker's faces to Ivy'' Gibbs said an walked further.

''What do we got?'' Gibbs barked as he and Tony came into the bullpent and didn't see Abby or the girls in there.

''Petra Van Der Burgt. 32 year old Dutch-American. Parents are from Holland, they moved here in 1968. Works as a waitress in a café. Married with Lieutenant Micheal Riffle, 35 years old. Only have one daughter Ivy Riffle'' McGee explained.

''What was the 'hit' that you got, probie?'' Tony asked.

''Well'' Ziva began. ''Apparently Petra made phone calls with her cellphone, that we didn't find on the Crime Scene by the way. In the last 2 months. Every day, five phone calls with the same amount of time in between, to the same number. Very short, not longer then a minute and a half. They stopped promptly about a week ago''

''And we know who it is, to who she makes the phone calls too?'' Gibbs asked.

''Yes, that's the hit'' McGee said. ''About a year ago, in the same Café a man named, George Stimson was hired. We checked him out but no further flaws, except from a few speeding tickets. What got our eyes was the fact that at the same time that the phone calls of Petra started to him, 1500 dollars were sent to his bank account and that stopped in the same week as of the phone calls. Not sure of the account who sent it was from Petra, but...''

''…We thought about rule 39'' Ziva finished.

''There is no such thing as coincidence'' Gibbs repeated. ''Do we have an address?''

''Yup!'' Ziva said.

''Good. Go with DiNozzo and find out where he was yesterday morning'' Gibbs ordered. ''McGee print a photo of George''

a sing-a-song of 'On it, boss' and 'Yes, boss' were heard and they went to work. Tony and Ziva grabbed their gear and went out using the elevator.

''Boss. It's printed'' McGee said after several minutes. Gibbs walked to him without saying anything, grabbed the paper out of his hand and walked to the elevator.

NCIS HQ, Labby

''So every machine has his purpose here?'' Hannah asked very interested in all the science stuff.

''Uhu! This for example'' Abby picked up a smaller hand held machine. ''If you put your finger right there, your name will pop up on the screen''

''Coo!l'' Hannah exclaimed. ''I only thought that if you put blood on something you could tell if you're healthy or not'' Hannah told her. Ivy grimaced not liking talking about this as much as Hannah did.

''How do you know that?'' Abby asked surprised.

''I go to the hospital.. maybe once a year'' Hannah shrugged.

Before Abby could ask why Hannah needed to go to the hospital, Gibbs stormed in with a Caf Pow! In his hand.

''What do you got for me Abbs?'' He asked and placed the Caf Pow in front of her.

''Good that you asked'' She turned to the computer and the her smile faded. ''I uh... have nothing Gibbs. All the things I had to figure out, I did that yesterday'' Gibbs smirked. ''You already knew that!''

''Yup. Thought you could use some Caf Pow while babysitting the girls'' Gibbs said. ''Never came here for you though'' He turned to Ivy. ''I have something to show you''

''What?'' Ivy asked, not sure of liking it.

''I have a photo and I'm gonna ask you if you recognize the man okay?'' Gibbs picked Ivy up and settle her on table. Ivy nodded. Gibbs pulled the photo out of his back pocket and unfolded it. He handed it to Ivy.

For a few moment Ivy's expression was unreadable. It was like she had zoned out.

''Ivy?'' Gibbs asked for her attention. She didn't respond. Only kept looking at the man. ''Is he the one who hurt your mommy?'' Gibbs asked.

Gibbs saw that her hand began to tremble and chin began to quiver. Ivy didn't want to give into temptation of crying, but she couldn't do it anymore. She let the paper fall on the ground, nodded and the tears fell down her red cheeks. ''He's... t..the.. o... one'' She said. Between every word was a shaking breath.

Ivy was deathly in need for a hug. She reached out for the first person that was in touch with, she stood up on the table and wrapped her arms around the marines neck. ''He killed her mister Gibbs. He's the one, that cut my arm and shot my mommy'' She cried.

''Ssshh. It's okay Ivy.. you can cry... it's okay to cry. Even the strongest person cries'' Gibbs said and rubbed her back in a soothing way.

''Do you cry?'' Ivy said, tightening her grip on the older man.

''Yes'' Gibbs said. He truly had the urge to cry for the little girl. He couldn't take it, seeing the pain that this girl was in. ''I promised you that we're gonna catch him. You're save here Ivy. We won't let them hurt you. I won't let him hurt you''

Ivy pulled away from Gibbs. Her tears kept falling ''You're a good man, mister Gibbs. Mommy always says that good men are hard to find'' Her small hand cupped Gibbs cheek for a moment and she she went back to hugging him.

''Aaawwww'' Abby spoke up. Gibbs looked at her and gave Abby and Hannah a soft smile.

Stimson's Apartment, 12:15

One the way to George Stimson's apartment, the ride was mostly quiet on the outside. On the inside both Ziva's and Tony's thoughts were racing and screaming. Ziva wanted to ask so many things, about Hannah and about the way that she said so much, but it made Ziva only more curious, because everything was not fully spoken out or Tony had to hide things again.

The way Hannah knew how Ziva looked like, more than the other. How Tony had cut her off while she wanted to say something about her to her. The stare off between the DiNozzo's was what really got to Ziva. Their was something they both know and that they both weren't telling.

Before she had the guts to open her mouth, Tony already stopped the car in front of a apartment building. All the way Tony knew that Ziva was thinking and he also knew about what. He quietly waited for her to ask, because he himself didn't want to start this conversation. So much about him would be revealed. And that could wait. They had a case and that was his priority.

''Were here'' Tony spoke softly.

''I can see that'' Ziva confirmed. She opened the door and walked towards the building. Tony let out a sigh and then also got out of the car and followed her.

Tony and Ziva walked over to the information desk and Tony saw a smirk appear on Ziva's face. He knew that look. He hated that look. She always got it when she saw a 'handsome man'. He rolled his eyes when he knew what was going to happed.

''Ziva David. This is my partner Agent DiNozzo'' She said and smiled to him.

The man obvious picked it up and smiled too. Tony saw the way and had to urge to head slap Ziva. No, he wouldn't do that.

''Vincent. How can I help the beautiful lady?'' He asked.

''We were wondering if you knew the apartment of George Stimson'' Ziva said.

''Is their something wrong, Ma'am?'' Vincent asked.

''Not yet. We would only like to ask him a couple of questions. Do you know which apartment is his?'' Ziva asked.

''Mr. Stimson lives on the fourth floor. It's the first door on your right, if you take that elevator'' Vincent answered and pointed to one.

''Thank you'' Ziva said after she turned back to him.

''Your welcome. If you're looking for a apartment anytime. I still have one empty. I will hold it for you to think about'' Vincent said.

''Maybe, I'll let your know. Thank you Vincent'' Ziva winked and turned.

As she walked to the elevator she had the feeling of Tony right on her tracks. ''You liked him?'' Tony asked with a teasing tone.

''Maybe I did, maybe I didn't'' Ziva answered and pushed the bottom for the elevator.

''I saw the way you flirted with him'' Tony stated. ''You do it with me all the time'' He thought.

''What is it Tony? Are you jealous?'' Ziva asked tilting her head slightly.

Tony laughed. ''You wish'' He said. ''Yes totally'' He thought to himself.

The ride with the elevator was quiet and soon they reached the right floor. Going to the first door on the right they saw the name tag next to the door.

''George Stimson? Open up, NCIS!'' Tony called as he pounded against the door. No answer.

''Mr Stimson! We want to asked a couple of questions!'' Ziva called.

Nope, still no answer. Tony and Ziva both pulled out their guns and got in their position. They counted to three and then Tony kicked in the door. Pointing their guns into the apartment they both were surprised to what that found.. or rather what they didn't.

Tony lowered his gun and grabbed his phone.

''Yeah, DiNozzo. Talk to me'' Gibbs came from the other side of the line.

''Uhm.. boss? I think we just missed him'' Tony said.

''What the hell are you talking about?'' Gibbs growled.

''Well, He's running. He's gone. Took everything. And I mean everything'' Tony said as he and Ziva took in the fully stripped apartment. Not even the kitchen was in there anymore.

Poor Ivy! now they know who the killer is from her mother, but he's on the ru! Uh-ho. Hannah is still in 'Her mood' but seems to like the lab.

Well i guess you will see the next update tomorrow :D
