Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews! you are all soooo awesome! :D
Sorry for the delays lately. Some family drama is making me sick... litterally Blegh! so yeah.
Won't hold you up any longer! Enjoy your reading :)
''So... Ziva wasn't jealous because she had feelings for you, but because she knew we were doing things, you used to do with her before Gibbs went to Mexico?'' Olivia asked, later that day. It was already evening and she was sitting on the couch.
''Apparently'' Tony said, taking a swig from his beer.
''And her father thought you were sleeping together and therefor, spied on his own daughter?'' She let out a bitter laugh. ''That's sick''
''We had McGee pull up the camera's and the same car is following Ziva everyday she comes in at work''
''Is it just me or do you guys have some kind of weird thing with messed up fathers?'' She frowned.
''Don't take this the wrong way, Liv... but yours isn't or wasn't better then mine'' Tony told her.
Tony didn't notice that Olivia's eyes went dark and haunted for a moment. She took a deep breath and recovered herself. ''Point taken'' She agreed.
''Enough of that for the moment. Tell me'' Tony changed the subject. ''How was your first day?'' She shrugged. ''Oh come on!'' Tony scolded. ''You were doing great. My coffee was perfect, I even saw Gibbs enjoy it''
Olivia smiled and shook her head. ''Rather tell me, why you don't like the Director'' she asked instead.
''Yeah'' Gibbs voice came through and Tony and Olivia both looked to the right to see Gibbs coming in from the hall. ''I would like to know that one too''
''I didn't even hear the door'' Tony said, ignoring Gibbs question.
''Tony'' Gibbs warned. ''You have fifteen minutes before Ziva gets here''
''Gibbs'' Tony said in a even warning tone. ''It's the kind of situation when I can't tell you what happened?''
Gibbs raised an eyebrow at that. ''You went undercover?'' He asked. He knew full well what it meant when you couldn't talk about it. Or you went undercover or you were on a mission and Tony was more the undercover guy.
''See I didn't tell you'' Tony deadpanned. ''So I won't say yes... but I wont lie to you either''
''More than one time?'' Gibbs asked.
''More'' Tony asnwered, quicker than he realized.
''Three times'' Gibbs stated. It was a guess, but when he saw Tony's face, it was a good one.
''None of them ended well'' Tony told him. ''The hell with what Director Sheppard thinks''
''Care to share how?''
''Can't tell you all the details, Gibbs'' Tony said in a 'You-should-know-how-that-works' glare. ''But let's just say that I took to the blame to save her ass''
''Why would you do that?'' Gibbs asked.
''Because with the last mission blowing up, if I didn't they would replace her and then the other weird character, would file your retirement. You wouldn't be able to come back, the way you did'' Tony explained glaring at him. ''I heard him say that he personally would taking care of that and would break up the team''
Gibbs eyebrows furrowed at that. ''Did you see what he looks like?''
''Afro-American, early forties... I think. And he had a toothpick in his mouth the whole time. chewing it'' Tony shuddered at the memory.
''Vance'' Gibbs stated. African-American in his forties could be half America, but the toothpick?
''Huh?'' Tony was confused. ''How would you know him?''
''You probably know about my mission with Jenny?'' Gibbs asked.
''Only that it was in the city of love, Paris'' He smirked. The head-slap didn't come unexpected. Olivia chuckled as she just listened.
''Jenny and I were there for Anatoly Zukov'' Gibbs began to tell. This was so long ago that he didn't care about who knew. It was over, done, dealt with, at least his part. ''We were supposed to find him and kill him and and his companion, Svetlana Chernitskaya. I managed to kill Zukov, but Svetlana escaped. I was brought back to D.C. Didn't know what happened to Jenny at that time. And I was told that I shouldn't bring it up again'' Gibbs finished. He had noticed that Tony's expression changed during his story. And he could read shock easily on Tony's face. ''What?''
''That Vance guy was with you on that mission?'' Tony asked.
Gibbs shook his head. ''No... He was supposed to kill him and Svetlana, before Jenny me and another guy called Decker. He failed'' He said. The expression on Tony's face didn't change, but he did looked away. ''Tony'' He warned again, knowing that Tony was about to shut down.
''Double shit'' Tony thought. He looked over at Olivia who looked at him curiously, raising an eyebrow. He turned back to look at Gibbs and the next words came out as a whisper. ''I killed Svetlana''
Gibbs' eyes went wide. ''What did you just—'' He wanted to ask, but was cut off when he heard a car door slamming shot.
''fifteen minutes are up'' Tony said sternly and stood up to walk to the door. He was just out of the living room when he heard the expected knock on the door. He opened it. ''Hey Ziva'' He greeted.
''Hi'' She said hesitantly. He opened the door further and let her in. Tony eyes scanned around outside. ''Three cars behind mine. Silver sedan'' Ziva said. Tony looked for her mini cooper and then indeed saw the silver sedan standing three cars behind her. It was the same car he saw on the video footages.
''Go in and stay with Olivia'' Tony ordered, not taking his eyes of the car.
''Tony...'' Ziva warned, stepping into the house.
''Gibbs!'' Tony called out, instead. Gibbs came walking in, raising his eyebrow.
''Hey, Ziva'' Gibbs greeted.
''Hi'' She waved awkwardly.
''Hey, Gibbs?'' Tony said. ''How good is your aiming from lets say... 35 yards?'' He asked, even though he knew how good Gibbs was. How couldn't he be, being a sniper.
''Person or...?'' Gibbs asked, knowing what Tony had in mind.
''Tires'' Tony turned to look at Gibbs with a smirk. ''I would be so unfortunate for them for someone to shoot out their tires isn't it?''
Gibbs smirked back. ''Good thing my bed room window's is on that side'' He said, going through the living to go upstairs.
''Is he going to do what I thinks hes going to do?'' Ziva asked.
''Like I said, stay with Olivia'' Tony ordered pointing to the doorway towards the living room. Ziva rolled her eyes but did what he told her. Tony could hear the soft greetings, as he turned and pulled away the lace curtains of the window next to the door and looked at the car yards away.
He knew that Gibbs was preparing himself or aiming right now. And as if it was on cue he heard two shots rang out and an auto alarm went off. Tony grinned and opened the door, walking towards the car. He could hear two people swearing, some of the familiar words Ziva sometimes used. He turned to look at the window of Gibbs' bedroom and saw him smirking.
''Hey!'' Tony called out to the two guys who were getting out of the car and check on the two tires that were blown. He reached them and looked at the tires as well. ''Those were your tires?'' He asked.
''Can't you not see that?'' One of them said, with a heavy accent. Tony looked at him. The man was tall, much taller than Tony anyway, but he was also much slimmer. The other one on the hand was small and a little tubby.
Tony walked around the car. ''Oh I can see that'' Tony nodded. He looked at up and saw both man glaring at them. ''Would you want to come and take a phone call?'' He smiled. God he hated smiling when all he wanted to go was punch someone. He knew that this two men would have a cellphone in their pockets, but he also knew they knew it really didn't cared for the phone call it was just something to get them into the house''
''Why would we do that?'' The other one said.
''I don't know'' Tony shrugged. ''I thought maybe, you could make a phone call'' He pointed to the taller one. Then pointed at the other one. ''Oh and then you can go and talk to Ziva David. You know, the daughter of your boss, who ordered you to follow her around'' Tony said as he turned and walked back to the house.
''How do you know about that?'' The first one asked, narrowing his eyes, but they began following Tony to the house.
''Ziva told me'' Tony said over his shoulder. ''In fact, she told me everything'' He stepped on the front porch and opened the front door. Looked at the two man watching him in disbelieve. ''Well? Don't you have a 'phone call' to make?'' He asked.
The two man looked at each other as Tony stepped inside, then decided it was best to follow so they did.
Gibbs came into the living room, through the kitchen the same time Tony and the two Mossad men came from the hall.
Their stares immediately towards Ziva. ''Your father is going to be so disappointed in you'' The shorter one said.
''Naseem'' Ziva greeted him, from where she sat on the couch next to Olivia. ''It's been a while'' He looked at the other man. ''Yosef''
Yosef ignored her, as he grabbed his phone and dialed a number. ''Director, there has been an development into our situation'' He said in Hebrew.
Gibbs knew who he was calling. ''I don't think Director David can do anything''
Now all four pair of eyes were on him. Ziva, Tony and the two Mossad men. Olivia just looked around to all of them, somewhat awkward.
''Ken, Adoní'' Yosef said when he heard Eli saying something to him. ''Ani medaber ivrit, Adoní'' He hung up and whispered with Naseem in Hebrew.
Tony looked at Ziva. ''What is he saying?'' He asked her.
''Something about citizenship'' Ziva replied confused. ''What's that?''
Tony looked at her eyes wide, but before he could answer Naseem spoke up. ''You are no longer loyal towards Mossad'' He said.
''What?'' Ziva's eyes widened and stood up. ''How can you say that—''
''According to your father, Officer David, you are at risk for telling these guys'' Yosef gestured towards Tony and Gibbs. ''Confidential secrets from Mossad''
''No!'' Ziva said. Gibbs and Tony looked at each other. Okay, so this wasn't completely what Gibbs had in mind when he stayed longer at work to talk to Jenny himself. ''You know what my father does when you are no longer loyal to Mossad. See what he made me do to... Ari'' Ziva's voice cracked.
Tony's eyes widened as he looked at Gibbs. ''No now DiNozzo'' He whispered. Tony looked at him still shocked, but managed to nod.
''Trust me, that's what we first thought to do too'' Yosef said. ''But according to Director David, they will give up your Israeli Citizenship, which means we cannot longer tread you like we do'' Naseem explained.
''But—'' Ziva thought she was getting a headache.
''You have one day to choose which country you want on your passport, besides Israel'' Naseem finished.
Ziva paled. This couldn't be happening. ''He's shunning me?'' She asked in disbelieve.
''That would me a good word to describe it, yes'' Yosef nodded.
Ziva sat down again, letting the words sink in. A car stopped outside with screaming tires and then a horn made Yosef and Naseem turn around.
''We are leaving'' Yosef told them. ''Shalom, Ziva. Your father will contact you'' He started walking. Naseem on his heels. Gibbs and Tony let them.
Gibbs looked over the people in his house. Tony shocked, Olivia utterly confused, Ziva... she looked like she was going to break down in tears, while watching the wooded floor. He walked over to her and knelled in front of her.
''What just happened?'' Ziva asked him. ''He shunned me... He just... one more phone call and that is it?''
''Ziva'' Gibbs said gently. ''I did this'' He admitted.
Her head snapped up. ''You did this?'' Ziva asked. ''You did what?''
''I stayed at the office, I had Jenny talk to your father. Your father decided that he couldn't do what he did to Ari. Although... I'm not sure if it was because your his daughter or because the commotion it would bring. But it was this or have you being followed by another Mossad agent to have you dead'' He stated sternly.
Ziva stared at him. ''I do not know what to do'' She said. ''If I'm not Mossad anymore. Scratch that... I'm not even a citizen from my own country anymore. The country wit the culture that I believe in. Than what am I?''
Tony, who had listened and thought this all through in his head, spoke up. ''Ziva David. You are Ziva David. The strong Ninja chick I know. Only without all the worries of being Mossad. Like that guy said, you can choose your country. You choose America? You can stay here. You can be an American citizen, you can just... apply at NCIS for a full job, instead of Liaison officer'' Tony said.
''You think think, it is that simple'' She asked him.
''It is that simple'' Tony stated. He looked at Gibbs, who nodded. Giving him the information that he had taken care of everthing. ''It will take time, but it is and from what I heard, Mossad will not be interfering with it'' He paused. ''And I know you are hurt. Hell I would beat the shit out of your father... if he wasn't the head of Mossad, but you know, it makes you even more family. I mean all of us seems to have problems with their fathers. Although... I never heard McGee talk about his, and that I think, says enough''
Gibbs smiled at the family statement.
''Since when are you so wise?'' Ziva wiped away invisible tears.
Tony smirked. ''At home. Don't you remember our talks. It's what you missed right?''
A small tug of the corner of her lips. ''Yes, I remember''
''Now what do you say about something to eat?'' He asked with a grin. ''Pizza, just to prepare you for the new chapter in your life, as an American''
Ziva chuckled. ''Isn't Pizza an Italian dish?'' She commented.
''I won't tell if you don't'' Tony winked.
''Okay, I just... am going to clean myself up in the bathroom'' She stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
''That simple, Tony?'' Olivia asked.
''Yeah'' Tony sighed, plopping down on the place Ziva previously sat. At that moment, Mason began to cry.
''Huh. Then maybe more things are that simple too'' Olivia stated and stood up to get Mason.
Tony looked after her. He knew what she meant. Feeling the eyes still on him he turned to look at Gibbs. The older man stared at him. Dammit! he hated when Gibbs told him so much while keeping his mouth shut.
''Yeah, I know'' Tony said. ''I think about it'' He sighed and then pulled out his phone to call for an pizza or two.
…
Two half hours, one movie and two pizza's later, They all were settled in the kitchen. Gibbs and Tony with a beer, Olivia didn't drink, so she had juice and Ziva also didn't drink and just had water. Mason, who had woken up again, Demanding a change of diaper, had stayed downstairs and was now horseback riding on Olivia's knee.
They had decided not to talk about anything related to father's or worries. Gibbs, Ziva and Olivia laughed. Olivia held Mason tightly as she bumped her leg softly up and down, while she listened to Tony's defense.
''I hadn't noticed my bathrobe was open!'' Tony defended.
''Trust me, DiNozzo. All of the people in MTAC, had noticed your robe was open'' Gibbs said taking a swig from his beer.
Tony glared at him.
''I don't know why you are so shy, Tony. You are very well.. what is it what you call it here? Endowed'' Ziva said. Gibbs and Tony looked at her. ''What? That was the right word, was it not?''
Olivia chuckled, to surprise of Tony. ''Yes it is and you are right, Ziva'' She winked at Tony.
''Oh God'' Tony groaned, making Gibbs failing to hide his smirk. ''Not you too''
''Well, when I saw it'' Olivia said. ''I think you and Nick had a party at your house when your father was away. You were a little drunk, I remember. It was something about preparing yourself for college. You uhm... streaked and ran around the house... naked''
Tony's eyes went wide. ''I didn't... I wouldn't... I...''
''Trust me, Tony'' Olivia stopped him mid sentence. ''You did''
Gibbs and Ziva laughed harder. As Olivia laughed, Mason seemed to like the noise and started making noises himself. Tony changed the subject. ''I think he likes it when we laugh''
''I think he just likes it when we joke about you'' Olivia retorted and Tony stuck out his tongue.
Looking at her watch, Ziva sighed. ''I think I better go. It's getting late''
''You sure?'' Tony asked. ''I mean, your dad is going to call, you sure you want to go home and get it while you're alone?''
''I do not have anywhere else to stay. I do not want to burden Abby or McGee right now'' Ziva admitted.
Tony understood that more than anyone. ''You could stay here'' He glanced at Gibbs.
''Here?'' Ziva asked. ''And where am I supposed to sleep? You sleep in Gibbs room, Mason has his own room, Olivia has the guest room and Gibbs had the couch''
Tony grinned at Gibbs. ''See Gibbs, I told you making the attic another bedroom isn't such a bad idea''
If it wasn't because Gibbs wasn't planning to stand up right now, Tony had gotten an head-slap. For now, he settled for a hard glare.
Tony knew there was still one bed, but he also knew that he would be way to much to ask for Gibbs for letting one of them sleep in Kelly's bed. ''One of us could share''
''I'm not letting you sleep with one of the girls, DiNozzo'' Gibbs growled half-heartily.
''I'm not going to sleep with them'' Tony argued. ''Just share a bad''
''No'' Gibbs stated.
''Jeez, dad. Have a little trust'' Tony said, mocking hurt. He didn't even realize he had said it in front of Ziva and Olivia.
Ziva eyes widened at the sentence and looked at Gibbs for his reaction. Olivia was a little surprised, but smiled.
Being put of guard with the dad reference Gibbs just looked at Tony for a second. Then said, ''My house, my rules''
''Well'' Olivia interrupted hesitantly. ''Ziva and I could share a bed'' She suggested.
Ziva looked at her with wide eyes. Gibbs was merely a little surprised and Tony grinned. ''I have no problems with two girls sharing a bed'' He stated. This time Gibbs growled, did lean forward and reached out to head-slap Tony. ''Ow!'' Tony rubbed the back of his head pouting.
''Olivia, you do not need to do that'' Ziva stammered.
''Is it your first time, sharing a bed with a woman?'' Olivia asked.
''No, but—'' Ziva didn't know what to say.
''Just one night'' Olivia chuckled. ''Promise I will keep my hands to myself'' She joked.
Tony chocked on the swig of beer he just had. ''Liv, please don't do that to me'' He rasped. ''I won't be able to sleep with that picture in my mind''
''Get over yourself, T.'' Olivia rolled her eyes. She turned back to Ziva. ''Come on''
''Okay'' Ziva nodded.
''Well now that's settled'' Gibbs stood up. ''Everyone can go to bed. I will take the munchkin, while you make yourself ready'' He suggested.
Olivia smiled. ''Thanks'' She said and held up her son.
Gibbs picked him over and smiled at the little guy that stared at him. Giving him a kiss on his little forehead. ''Come on, big guy. Time for you to sleep'' He said in a soft voice, as he walked up the stairs.
''Gibbs seems...'' Ziva trailed off.
''Happy'' Tony finished with a grin.
''Yes that'' Ziva agreed. ''Never seen him like this''
''Really?'' Olivia asked, frowning. ''I haven't seen him other than this''
''That, my lovely Liv, is because you and Mason weren't in his life'' Tony said. ''I think you are the company that he needed''
Olivia smiled at that and Ziva just looked at him. She didn't really know much about why Olivia was here or how close she had become in the last weeks, but it really seemed that Gibbs was happy about it, and who was she to complain about a happy Gibbs?
''Don't cut yourself short, Tony'' Tony tensed slightly at Shannon's voice, but otherwise didn't let anything notice. ''You are just as important to that, then they are'
Taking a deep breath, Tony smiled, indicating that he had heard her without saying anything. He then stood up. ''Help me clean this mess up?'' He asked. The two woman nodded and helped him with cleaning, before going upstairs themselves.
