Everything is in this about Ziva since I don't have a show timeline it can be anytime that this conversation takes place.
"So Agent Fornell to what do I owe the honor?" Tony took his glasses off to rub his itchy eyes for a moment.
"We have to ask you formal questions about your relationship with Officer David when she was at NCIS."
He said "Who's we?"
Gibbs sighed. "Have to be there too. Everything has to come out Tony."
"Well considering you came to my house and I should tell you that Agent Emily Prentiss is here recovering from a gunshot wound to the knee, let's get this over with shall we?"
Fornell nodded. "All right then." They all sat in the living room.
"When did you first meet Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David?" A tape recorder whirred on the coffee table.
He replied "Right after Agent Kaitlin "Kate" Todd was gunned down by her half-brother Ari Haswari who had an obsession or plan to kill Gibbs. He had also held Kate, Gerald Jackson and Ducky hostage in autopsy and shot Gerald in the shoulder. Same terrorist jack hole also kidnapped Kate as well."
Tony rubbed his eyes again. "Sorry allergy season and I haven't been sleeping the greatest lately."
"Ziva came into the bullpen to try and stop Gibbs from hunting Ari down and killing him. She thought I was Gibbs because I was in the office at the time when she entered. She put on a little show and some would say flirted with me when I was thinking about Agent Todd." " Same day we get a new NCIS director named Jenny Shepard. Tom Morrow resigned to be deputy director at Homeland. Offered me a job there when I left NCIS by the way. So Shepard had done operations in Eastern Europe with Ms. David and said she owed it to her to find out if Ari was responsible for killing Kate or not."
He cleared his throat and took a drink from a bottle of water slowly. Jet wandered over and laid down near her handler and friend's side. "Fast forward a little and Ziva ends up taking Ari out to save Gibbs' life. So then she was well on the team."
"She seemed to want to learn from us when she came back from Israel after Ari was buried. Or so we all thought. Claimed to have cut ties with her Daddy and wanted a fresh start here with NCIS."
"See this scar on my arm?" "That was Ziva in a wooden shipping container and well a bullet that ricocheted. She passed it off as a scratch. Twenty stitches and a few weeks of physical therapy were a little more wouldn't you say? I didn't make a big drama out of it. Ducky had the paperwork sealed until recently. Also got myself beaten and bruised ribs on an undercover assignment for Jenny."
"But hey, take one for the team. That's what we do right?"
"Gibbs can tell you about going to Mexico and cervezas with Franks or god knows what kind of tequila they were swigging. I had my hands full at home sweet home. Had a team that was pissed that I was in charge and they had me as boss since I was the senior field agent. Wrote Ziva up several times for insubordination and just general piss poor attitude with me. But yet I didn't give the paperwork to Director Shepard because I still wanted to give her some time. Then Gibbs came back and all the stars were realigned and the unicorns could dance in the clouds."
"Did I mention I'm a little foggy from an allergy pill?" "Oh well."
"We move forward and then there was Rivkin and it was kill or be killed for me. She gets pissed and puts me on the ground with a busted radius and also had me in the chiropractor and a friends Jacuzzi for a month but hey. No sweat."
"Finally with the Director's death and le grenouille and the fact that Ziva was never going to have my back in the field it was time to cut my losses and move on and out."
"She would not listen to the fact that I didn't want contact with her. Found my new cell number at the BAU after she broke into McGee's desk one night and got it from my card. Then the phone calls started. And she came out here to confront me with a gun in her hand. Threatened Jet and was verbally nasty. Then when she had a gun in her hand she shot Agent Prentiss who gave her own statement to Metro PD as well as Agents Hotchner, Rossi and Morgan following the shooting and her medical treatment. She was arrested and placed in jail awaiting trial. You know how it ended."
Fornell nodded. "Never had a moment where she came on to you?"
"We were partners Fornell, I still miss Kate." He turned his head and sneezed softly once. "Excuse me, some of the ragweed is getting to me today. Now are we finished because I have laundry to do?"
Gibbs nodded. "Sounds good enough for me."
Emily walked out of the hallway then. "Tony I am going to go out back with Jet for a while. If I walk around then my knee doesn't get as stiff."
He said "Good honey, she needs a run for a while. " He kissed her cheek gently.
She looked at him. "You're good other than your allergies getting you down right?"
"Sure he replied just clearing out some old trash once and for all. Agent Fornell and Gibbs were just leaving."
Gibbs said "Nice to see you Em, glad your knee is doing better."
She smiled. "You too though I think my physical therapist was the Marquis De Sade in another life."
He chuckled. "Your sense of humor hasn't been hurt."
Fornell raised an eyebrow. "Something you want to tell me Jethro?"
" Later not here, we have disturbed Dinozzo enough for one Thursday afternoon."
