Charity parked her car outside of the apartment building where Wendy Miller lived. She and Ziva hopped out of the car and headed inside. They walked inside the lobby. "According to McGee, she lives on the fifth floor, apartment 5B." Ziva said, looking at her notes.

Charity nodded. "Let's head up." She said.

The two women began to walk towards the elevator. They were about halfway across the lobby when the elevator doors opened. A woman with shoulder-length dark hair and wearing a gray knee-length skirt, black dress shirt, and a gray jacket. She was looking at her cell phone as she walked.

"Wendy Miller." Charity called to the woman.

The woman looked up from her phone. "Who wants to know?" She asked.

Charity held up her badge. "Charity and Ziva with NCIS." She answered. "We need to ask you a few questions."

"Well, can it wait? I'm supposed to be meeting with someone." Wendy replied. "We can set up an appointment later." Then she walked passed Charity and Ziva and out the door.

Charity groaned slightly then she and Ziva followed Wendy. "Actually, it can't wait Miss Miller." Charity called after her.

"Well, I'm sorry but I'm very busy." Wendy replied, heading to her car and opening the door.

Charity put her hand on Wendy's car door and slammed it shut. "This can't wait." Charity said.

"Well, then make it quick. I have deadlines." Wendy replied. "What's this about?"

Charity motioned to Ziva. Ziva reached into her pocket and pulled out a printed copy of Reese's phone records. "You're number appeared multiple times on Marine Lieutenant James Reese's phone records. Why is that?"

"Did something happen to him?" Wendy asked.

"Answer the question." Charity replied.

"It looks like we've got company." Ziva said in a low voice and gesturing to a group of three men in long black coats and thick dark glasses.

The women watched as the three men walked towards them and began to reach inside their jackets. Charity and Ziva had their hands on their guns and unholstered them. They then put themselves between Wendy and the three men. The three men pulled out their own guns.

"NCIS, drop your weapons!" Charity ordered.

The men didn't hesitate. They opened fire. Charity and Ziva shot back. They took out two of the men and the third ran off when he ran out of bullets. Ziva ran after him. Charity looked over at Wendy. "Now, will you cooperate?" She asked.

Wendy just looked at Charity with her eyes wide and nodded.

Ziva soon returned. She had the third man in handcuffs. She looked at Charity. "You're bleeding." Ziva said looking at Charity's arm.

Back at NCIS...

Tony sat at Charity's desk, worrying about how the meeting between Charity and Wendy was going. He was sure it wouldn't be too terrible...at least until they knew who each other was.

Just then Director Shepard came down from her office. "Ziva and Charity were involved in a shooting outside the apartment building." Jenny told the group. "They're still there and they have one of the other shooters in custody."

The group instantly got up and headed out the door. They hopped in their cars and headed for the apartment building. When they arrived there was an ambulance parked out and Ducky was there with the ME van collecting the two dead bodies. As soon as Tony parked the car, he got out and headed for the ambulance.

Charity was sitting on the edge of a gurney, a medic examining her. She was looking rather annoyed. There was a bandage on her right arm, up by her shoulder. She looked up at the medic. "I'm fine." She insisted sounding frustrated.

"I'm just checking to make sure you're not in shock." He replied. "You being pregnant puts you at a higher risk when in stressful situations. Your blood pressure is elevated."

"Because you're annoying me." She answered. "I'm perfectly fine."

After a few more moments, they medic seemed to be able to find nothing that indicated Charity nor the baby were in danger. "You should at least go to the hospital and get checked out, just to be on the safe side." He told her and then walked away.

Tony instantly stood in front of Charity, where the medic had been. "Are you alright? What happened?" He asked her, sounding worried and gesturing to the bandage on her hand.

"I'm fine Tony." She answered. "I was just grazed by the bullet. It's nothing."

"I heard what the medic was saying." Tony replied. "He says you need to go to the hospital and get checked out."

"Tony, I'm fine and the baby is fine." She replied. "I don't have any signs of a miscarriage or anything. I feel fine. It's just a scratch."

"You have two choices here." Tony told her. "You can either let me take you to the hospital to get checked out or we can ride in the back of that ambulance and get you checked out."

Charity looked up at Tony. "Look, just because we're married now doesn't mean you're going to start telling me what to do."

"No, but you are my wife and the baby you're carrying is mine. I just want to make sure you both are okay." Tony told her.

"But we have a case." Charity tried to protest.

"And Dan, Burley, Ziva, and McGee are perfectly capable of working on it without us for a little while. Nothing is more important than your health." Tony replied.

Charity sighed. "You're not letting this go, are you?"

"Nope." Tony answered.

"Alright, but I am not riding in an ambulance." Charity finally agreed.

Wendy...

Wendy sat in the back of the car Charity and Ziva had arrived in. She watched out the window as other cars pulled up. She saw Tony get out of one of those cars and run towards the ambulance that Charity was sitting in the back of.

She watched as Tony moved to take the place of the medic as soon as he moved away. He seemed to be exchanging words with Charity for several moments. Then she seemed to finally agree to something and Tony helped her down off the back of the gurney.

They walked back to Tony's car. Another man Wendy didn't recognize talked with Tony and Charity for a few moments. Then Tony helped Charity in the passenger's side of the car before climbing in the driver's side. Then they drove off.

What's going on? Don't tell me that Tony married that bitch? She thought as she watched them leave.

A/N: There are going to be some big fireworks between Charity and Wendy later on. Even though I'm not anywhere near finished with this story, I already have a couple of ideas for my next Tony and Charity fics. The one I'm leaning towards doing next is Shannon and Kelly never died. Charity grows up to join the Marines like her father. She and Gibbs serve together and something happens. Tony is in charge of the team at NCIS and ends up investigating something that involves the Gibbs family. That's how he and Charity will meet in the next one. Well, anyway I hope you enjoy the latest update. Please read and review?
