Two months passed and Tony had been released from the hospital and was completely recovered. Gibbs was preparing to be go back into the Marine Corps, but as an instructer for boot camp at Quantico. He would be heading over there in a couple of weeks.
On this particular morning, Charity woke up, in her bed, wrapped in Tony's arms. Tony was kissing the side of her neck. She let out a giggle. "Yup, I'm definitely getting used to waking up like this." Tony said, running his fingers along Charity's flesh.
Charity grinned and rolled over to face him. "You're not the only one getting used to this."
Tony grinned and ran his hands down Charity's back. His finger tips brushed over the raised heart-shaped scar, created by the Colonel. He felt Charity stiffen slightly, she always did when he touched the scar. He pretended not to notice and pulled her close, kissing her lips, which erased all rigidness from her body, making her melt into him.
Charity broke the kiss after a few moments and looked into Tony's eyes. Then she lifted her hand and traced the scar on his shoulder from the gun shot wound given to him by Ari. Then she grinned up at him and started to run her fingers down the front of his body.
Tony gently grabbed her hand and brought her fingers to his lips and kissed them. "We really can't get this started. Unfortunately, we both have to go to work." He told her. "Don't get me wrong, there's nothing I'd love more than to spend the day in bed with you."
Charity grinned and let out a giggle. "You and your promises." She teased. "One of these days, you're gonna have to deliver on that whole day in bed promise."
"I plan to." He replied. "I actually had an idea in mind for that."
"What is this idea?"
"Well, I was thinking we could go away for a weekend. Rent a cabin with a huge bed, maybe even a hot tub." Tony answered, a playful smile on his lips.
"That sounds like Heaven." Charity said.
"I was hoping you would say that. I'll call and arrange everything."
"I keep waiting for it." Charity said.
"Waiting for what?" Tony asked, looking completely confused.
"To either wake up or something terrible to happen. You're too good to be true." She answered.
Tony gave her one of his hundred-watt smiles. "You, Miss Gibbs, are not dreaming and neither is anything going to happen."
"It better not."
Tony grinned. "Don't worry about anything." He then pulled her to him for another kiss. "I love you." He told her when he broke the kiss.
"I love you, too." Charity replied, kissing him again.
A couple of hours later, Charity arrived to work and just sat down at her desk, when her phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw that it was the director. "Hello Director." She answered the phone. "Alright, I'll be right up." She then hung up.
Burley looked up from his desk. "What's going on, boss?" He asked.
"Not sure. I'll let you know when I get back down." Charity answered, heading up to Jenny's office. When she entered the office, she was surprised to see Officer Ziva David standing by Jenny's desk. "What's going on, Director?" Charity asked.
"I'm opening a new position, on your team." Jenny answered. "Mossad Liason Officer, which Ziva will be filling."
"I see." Charity said, not sure how to take the news. She hadn't really trusted Ziva in the beginning, but after the last time she had seen her, she knew that Ziva was a strong woman. She had also realized that she could trust her, but it was still very hard.
"And you will all be starting feet first." Jenny said. "There's a case that needs your attention. A man was found passed out in a parked car with a dead sailor in the trunk."
Charity nodded. "Alright, well Officer David, we have some work to do."
Ziva nodded. "Let's get up to it then."
"Down." Charity corrected.
The two women left the director's office and headed down the steps. "Grab your gear." Charity ordered Burley and McGee, as she grabbed her gear from her desk. "We've got a dead sailor in the trunk of a car with the suspect on site."
"Boss, what's..." Burley began meaning Ziva.
"Officer David is now part of the team as Mossad Liason Officer." Charity answered his unfinished question. "Now get a move on."
The team soon arrived at the crime scene, where the two responding officers stood in their uniforms, guarding the suspect. Charity called one of them over and then sent Burley, McGee, and Ziva over to the car, where Ducky already was, looking at the body.
"So, what do we have?" Charity asked, the officer.
"We were out on patrol when we spotted this one car parked over here." The officer answered. "We went over and looked inside the window. We found this man passed out, his head on the steering wheel. He seemed very out of it, so we checked the car and that's when we found the dead sailor in the trunk. So we called you guys."
"Thank you, Officer." Charity said. "We'll take it from here."
He nodded and then he and his partner left. Charity walked over to the suspect. He had white hair, styled nicely despite the fact that he had had a rough night. He was also wearing a nice suit and tie. There was something about him that seemed familiar. "Hello, sir." She greeted.
He looked up at her and gave her a hundred-watt smile, that seemed so familiar to Charity. "You're much easier on the eyes than the other officers." He told her.
"I'm not a police officer." Charity said. "I'm Special Agent Gibbs with NCIS. Who are you?"
"I'm Anthony DiNozzo Sr." He answered. "Now would you please take these bracelets off of me?"
Charity looked up at him, having a hard time containing her surprise. Of course now that she knew who he was, it was so obvious. "DiNozzo Sr?"
"Yes."
"Excuse me a moment." She said. "Burley!"
Stan looked up from over by the car. Charity motioned for him to come over, so he did. "What's up, boss?" He asked.
"Burley, this is Anthony DiNozzo Sr. I need you to take him back to NCIS and take him to the conference room. When you get there, you can take off the hand cuffs." Charity ordered.
"DiNozzo Sr?" Burley asked.
"Yes, now take him back to NCIS." Charity ordered again. "Don't make me say it again."
A/N: I thought that this would be an interesting way for Charity to meet Senior. Please read and review.
