People hurried past, trying not to show their growing interest, but at the same time they tried desperately to slow down their pace in order to hear the two people arguing in the corridor.

Fighting between those two was normal. It was an everyday occurrence in which all the people, as well as many of the firm other inhabitants knew.

It were the two name managers partners, Bastiana Wolf and Harvey Specter.

They were always arguing and bickering, always together, always looking for each other, always in trouble. They were in many ways friends.

Bickering between them was nothing new, and it was almost always over something stupid what Harvey had done.

Sometimes it was hilarious, and Bastiana always laughed afterwards in the office.

This was different though, this time Bastiama looked like he was really angry. She didn't seem to care if anyone heard him. The woman was chasing after Harvey until she finally stopped the man.

Harvey tried to avoid her gaze, looking both sad and wary at the same time.

She says and she goes back to her office as Harvey insists on talking with the woman because he would never allow such thing...

Amy rolls her eyes and decides to walk away from the room. Katrina sits back on her chair like she's about to watch a dramatic episode of a soap opera.

Travis follows her example and sits on a chair in front of his desk because knowing his friend It's going to take a while before she calms down again.

''You fuckinh asshole...''

''Bastiana let me explain..''

''Shut the fuck..''

''Stop throw things at me..'

''Do not tell me what to do..''

''Bastiana ...''

There's a loud slam, followed quickly by Harvey ' shout, and Katrina looks over at Amy. She grips the mug tighter and bites her lip. Bastiana clonks through the doorway, Jessica followed her.

"Bastiana..."

"Wait no, this could work. Jess lets go this way"

"Near Harvey and Donna, yeah no way"

"Oh common"

"Bastiana, you're not going to drive your heel through his foot"

"What ab-"

"Or his head"

"His-"

"You're not going to put your heel through any part of him"

"..."

"Bastiana put your shoe back on. You can't throw it at him"

"And why the hell not. If I miss I've got the other shoe"

Katrina choked out a chuckle, Travis was once again near tears with laughter, Amy was trying to hide her laughter as she typed to her brother and Harvey's eyes were slightly wider than usual, it was difficult to tell whether or not it was due to fear, panic or shock.

Tony laughed while walking out of the elevator. He liked when Amy keeps him update about what is going on with the firm especially if this thing is his mother.

The man walked through the bullpen smiling at the sight of his new table marking with his real name on it.

Senior Field Agent Antony Wolf.

He smiled like an idiot at his real name. After the big reveal of his trur self, it was time to go after this name, going to Vance and explaining everything was something that bother him a little, Tony was not comfortable to talk about his family with people he didn't trust, and he didn't trust the people of NCIs except Jimmy.

After all Jimmy was his son godfather, the only person who was there for him after Gibbs left for Mexico. Jimmy was there when Karina had her frost miscarriage, he and his wife were supporting during their difficult time, Breena stayed with Katrina and help her while Jimmy was there for Tony when the young man didn't want to put more stress in his family especially with the situation of his mother.

He sat down to his desk and then hear it.

Whispers

All the NCIS floor was entirely too invested in his personal life. Tony's a bit of a hypocrite because he has very much participated in petty NCIS talk before - but on his first day of work after having made things official that he has a son and wife , he feels like he's part of a showmance on an episode of Big Brother, and he's not exactly enjoying all the eyes, all the murmurs following him. Entering the dkoor is even worse because everyone drops what they're doing just to watch him step into his desk.

He could practically feel Gibbs' stare on his back, but for once, not displeasing his Boss was way down on his list of priorities.

"What is going on Wolf?" asks Balboa making Tony smiles like an idiot hearing his real name come from someone.

"Everyone's watching," Tony says" It is like the next thing that they will learn about me, it is that I am Superman or I am secretly dating Kim Kardashian."

"We learned that you have a son and wife which nor not even Gibbs or Vance knows."Balboa folded his hands in his lap and leaned back again, looking into Tony's eyes. "Since when do you have a son ?"

"Oh I don't know, seeing as my son is 3, I'm going to say I've been a parent 3 years." He rolled his eyes.

"TONY!"

Abs, what're you-' The Goth cuts him off, pushing past him into the hallway and then turning to face him, hands clenched by her sides.

'Don't you Abs' me! How could you?!' She demands. Tony takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself before he turns to face her. He knows the others are listening because everything in the other room has suddenly gotten quiet.

"YOU LIED TO US!" She scream

"HEY! I did not lie! I just didn't tell you it had nothing to do with any of you! It wasn't work related" He told her

Abby was pouting. "Why didn't you tell me?"

All of the MCRT and Abby had tried to find out about Tony's other half. They had run into too many frustrations. It seemed his personal file had now been locked down and made top-secret. It didn't matter if they directly asked Tony as they only received non-committal answers that offered no real details.

Tony snorted and remembered Katrina 'swarning. It was time to stop holding back. "Well, I don't trust you with my private life considering how you treat me in my professional life."

"What?" Abby said, looking like she could fall down in shock.

"Now wait a minute." Was McGee's outraged comeback.

Abby looked heartbroken. "We're a family."

Tony he didn't forget that time during Gibbs was on "vacation" in Mexico, Abby, McGee and the Ziva kept reminding him "he was not Gibbs". That hurt, that hurt a lot. He couldn't help to remember the way his own father disowned him when he was twelve and now the history seemed to keep repeating. Abby saw him and tried to move towards him, but his eyes, empty like a sky without stars made her gulp.

Tony rolled his eyes. "I have already have family which they have my back at any time! "

McGee frowned. "You play a clown and I am supposed to respect you?"

" Just because Vance think of you the future of the NCIS didn't mean you ate smarter than us. I have the Phys Ed degree. I also have a Masters in Bioscience and Psychology. I defended my dissertation for my criminology Ph.D. last week."

Tim looked like his world had crashed down. Tony wanted to get a picture of their faces in that moment. He was going to get a sketchpad as soon as possible to try and keep it for posterity. It was truly a moment to treasure.

"Your marriage status was not in your files!"

"You have to thank my mother for that!"

With the smile on Tony's face Gibbs could feel the knot in his stomach dissolving.

"Look we can fix that!" Abby says.
"We can plan a dinner with all of us and meet your wife and s..."

"Miss Sciuto" Tony said in a low, icy tone, his eyes roaming over each agents , "you going near to my wife without my permission, I will make your life a living hell.
Am I understood?" he asked firmly, crossing his arms over his chest and raising an eyebrow daring anyone to challenge him.

Abby shivered as she stared at the agnet. "Yes, sir."

She shivered again as she looked at the man's eyes. She felt like she was staring at the devil himself.

"Dinozzo.." Gibbs warning.

"What Agent Gibbs?"

Agent Gibbs"? No "Boss"? Utter defeat washed over his heart when the man close to a son have said that cursed word. That was all left for him? "Agent"?

" What is going on?" The director Leon Vance asked behind them his voice cold and hard. Deadly. As if speaking to a suspect he knew to be the killer. His eyes attempted to hide something dangerous. Something too wild and intense to be completely ignored. There was a storm there, within those depths, which struggled not release the downpour of wrath to someone. Even his fists were clenched ever so slightly. This was the man that no one messed around

He was met with silence.

"Well?" He said . Everyone in the room flinched except Gibbs and Tony. After what seemed like an eternity but in reality was only a few seconds, Tony spoke up.

"I only imform the team about a few changes" Tony's voice was cool, lacking the cold and emptiness that had been evident only a moment ago.

"Of course Agent Wolf."Vance placated, holding up a hand. "I had a great chat with the chief Dodds and captain Benson a few minutes ago."

Tony groaned."Oh god" He shouted, throwing his hands up uselessly.

"They think very high of you!" Vance said shocked, apparently just as confused as Gibbs himself and the others in the room.

"Oh really?" Tony said with a small smile on his face.

Gibbs was stunned: was he imagining it or did Tony look relieved? What was going on here, and why the hell would Tony look like his cavalry has just arrived?

"Yes I can find the reason!" Vance started again with his 'I hate Dinozzo' speech.

Gibbs was beyond angry now. What the hell was wrong with Vance? Tony had actually tricked Eli David; what other proof did Leon need about his agent? Maybe he would have to have another talk with the director.

"What did you do agent Wolf?" Vance looked like he was solving the most difficult puzzle in the world."Who you know those people?"

Tony answered"Seems that Captain Benson is one of my mother's best friend and Chief Dodds is kind of my grandfather"

The room fell to a complete and utter silence. Gibbs couldn't help the pride swirling inside him; the look on Vance face was an additional benefit.

McGee asked another question, hoping he'd get validation."How do you know this people?"

''I am in disguise."Tony shrugged, eyes drifting back to his computer.

Everyone looked like they were trying to assimilate the information.

The ringing phone pulled Gibbs' attention away from the sence in font of him. It also drew the attention of the members of his team.

"Gibbs," he answered on the third ring. He listened for a moment then responded, "on my way." Shaking his head in response to his team's unasked question, he made his way to the interrogation room.

Ziva shrugged. "The lawyer of Krista Varga has came."

Everyone turned back to their pervious work leaving Ziva, Abby and McGee looking at a happy Tony who ignored them.

Tony was happy that finally was free to be his real self. It was about time to saw them his real self, his real face, his teeth. Abby, Ziva and McGee

He was tired of them asking about his personal life. Sure he used to broadcast everything far and wide, but things had changed. He learned to leave his personal life somewhat at the door when he walked in.

Meanwhile the rest of the team wasn't to happy, Abby was pouting because she wanted to meet Tony's son. Ziva couldn't understand why a woman would be interested in Tony, didn't get why Tony seemed to have a whole other life they didn't know about before and hate it when she been in the dark.

Tim was filled with envy.

Tony suddenly turned to Tim with wide eyes in fear and shock. The young couldn't think of many things that scared him, he'd survived the plague for christ sake.

" The last name of our suspect is what?"

Cold light blue eyes narrowed as it watched the young woman who was sitting for the other side of the desk.

"So, this is the woman who tamed Tony!" Gibbs thought as he looked at Katrina Bennett - Wolf.

Coming to meet the lawyer of their suspect, came face to face with the woman who had see three days ago holding hands with his agent. Her aura was calm and collected, she didn't even blink when the man stromed intio the room wanting to scare the lawyer who has represented their suspect.

''Ask away!''It was the first thing that came out of the woman kept looking at Gibbs'.

Gibbs asked a simple question, "How long?"

''Five years!''

Jethro would have guessed just outside nine months, which made things more intriguing. Tony had not given a hint about settling down outside the office.

She was smug, "You didn't think it was that long?"

Gibbs shook his head, "I don't know anything about you."

Her smirk grew sharper. "Tony was adamant that we stay a secret. He said too many enemies would delight in the knowledge."

Katrina linked her hands and her fingers lightly caressed her ring finger. Looking closely, Gibbs could see the gold ring. His stomach flipped with jealousy.

Gibbs was happy that Tony had find happines. He had find his own 'Shannon' in this dark world. This woman made the young mam who Gibbs thought as a son truly happy, gave him love and care.

He scanned her. She has rather short about five feet two inches, her face was aristocratic and angular with gentle small shoulders, looking back at her face he saw that those sapphire blue eyes that he noted earlier were almond shaped and her silvery blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail with the end falling over her shoulder. There was no brunette in her roots. She was captivating and gorgeous.

"They pay you that well at the firm."

"Well." Katrina shrugged.''They pay me to make people cry in the stand!''

Gibbs shook his head.

"So about my client.." Katrina started making Gibbs almost laugh.

"Straight to the point!" Gibbs comment.

"I have been training from the best." Katrina's lips twitched into a small smile, before she schooled her expression into a nonchalant and professional one."Learned not to waste my time with unnecessary conversations!"

"You will stay away from my client!" Katrina drawled, a dismissive wave of the hand. She stared at Gibbs for a second, watching as the smile on the man's face faltered for a second."Not only you and your little minions accused my client to be a murder but you decide to arrest him in font not only his family but in his own fucking company in front of his people!"

Gibbs stood up at table and said. "We had evidence that put in in the crime scene!"

"His fucking alibi put his at Paris keeping company to Mona Lisa."
Katrina snapped, eyes flaring. "Because of your laziness you ruined a man reputation, my client is a businessman and people must to invest in. Do your homework, If you don't then you are not doing your job right and I will tell you so."

Gibbs just looked at Katrina for a long moment and came round the table. He stood toe to toe with her and looked down his nose. "Be careful Mrs Wolf, don't overstep you bounds. You don't get to tell us what to do."

"Actually Special Agent Gibbs, I do get to tell you what to do. I wil not let you to destroy my client because you stepped over the line."

Gibbs just continued to stare at the woman. He was slowly realizing that she wasn't going to back down.

It seems that Gibbs had two people that wouldn't back down from him. Tony Din.. Wolf and Katrina Bennett - Wolf.

Carefully observing the woman, he narrowed his eyes and scanned her up and down. She leant back on her chair, arms crossed, one leg over the other, both staring at one another, daring them to look away. Intense silence reigned and the students observing were anticipating who would look away first. She was lazily smiling while Gibbs tapped a finger on his arm, daring Katrina to do something else and break the eye contact.

"Don't hurt him!"

If Katrina was surprised by the man's words she didn't show it.
weird déjà vu, flashing through her mind.

Out of nowhere Tony stormed into the room taking Katrina and Gibbs surprise. Tony stood back up, wrapping a protective arm around Katrina's back. "It's everything OK here?"

"Of course..me and agent Gibbs had a great conversation..." Katrina trailed off, watching Gibbs nod.

"Mrs. Wolf talked about the abili of her client." Gibbs said trying to hide the pain in his voice.
Tony thought that Gibbs will hurt his wife?. Seeing how the young man rushed in the room and stood between them, maybe Tony had.

Katrina looked between them before grab her bag, she turn to her husband saying.

"Sweetheart, if you ever rush into a room while I am working I swear to God, I will shoot you with your own gun!" Katrina said smiling darkly at him.

Tony immediately went silent and just looked at her shocked, while Gibbs on the other hand, almost looked impressed 'I like her' he thought.

" Now you will excuse me I have work to do! "She smiled sweetly at Tony, and proceeded to kiss him on the cheek and bid farewell with an" See you at home dear! "As soon as Katrina had left the room, a huge smile appears in his face.

Gibbs looked at Tony and was realizing that he had not been treating Tony like the competent SFA that he was; he was realizing that he was still missing something about their relationship and needed more information, but was sure that they would not solve the tension between the two of them sitting on the bench. "DiNozzo, I am slowly realizing that I am not treating you with the respect you deserve and if I am not, then the team is not. I have been watching how you work with the rest of the team and I am beginning to see that you stand between me and the rest," Gibbs paused, "and not just the team, but almost everyone we have to work with."

"I have family Gibbs!" Tony looked Gibbs directly in the eyes and said very seriously, "I try to protect them from everything that relate to my work."

"And still couldn't believe that Amy came to NCIS"

"What do you mean, Din-.. Wolf!" Gibbs changed really quickly the name seeing the death glance that the younger man send him.

Gibbs hated the changes. As a marine the schedule was his own personal Bible, times and places, was the only things had been awareness of for years.

Every morning for the last 30 years drank his coffe black at 6 pm o'clock. Jogging at 6:30 and be at the office at 7:00. Every day, over again and again without distractions.

Shannon was the only wife of his three that find that cute and normal.

That was the reason why Gibbs had to know everything about his team. Wanting to know even what was the color of their underwear, wanting to know every little thing of them, to be prepared to help, to be able to fight but he was not prepare to come face to face with that new Antony Wolf.

The last four days Tony showed everyone what was behind his mask.

They saw his smartness when he was in a case, his coldness towards the team, they saw how cruel could be with the suspects, they were scared of him somehow, they could not use this Antony Wolf. He stopped smiling and laughing with the team, stopped making comments or quotes movies, he almost bring Abby to tears with his behavior.

"I just.. So many lies and I... Tony cut himself off and scrubbed a hand over his face in frustration.

"Bet it was hard, living a lie for so long," Gibbs said, suddenly serious, glancing at Tony out of the corner of his eye.

"I'm good at undercover," Tony said with a shrug.

"So if your sister didn't so up at the office you will continue to lie for?"

"Until leave or get a promotion!" Tony's words surprised Gibbs enough for the team leader to look over at his SFA.

"Tony," Gibbs whispered as he sank back in a chair.

Since the moment he'd wanted Tony for his SiC, Gibbs knew that, sooner or later, his SFA would leave the nest and get his own team. No one deserved it more than DiNozzo which was why he hadn't been surprised when Jenny had told him that Tony had done a fine job while he was in Mexico and that it was only thanks to DiNozzo that the team was still together.

He could sense Gibbs' eyes on him and he did his best to not show his feelings. Tony didn't want to fight with his boss again, now that he'd finally found some peace. Tony didn't want NCIS to ruin his life.

Gibbs was waiting for Tony to start talking as he used to, but the younger man seemed extremely comfortable and at ease with the silence, while Gibbs felt very nervous.

Tony could sense Gibbs' discomfort and he had to admit that he liked it. In the past he'd been the one who fidgeted in his chair and who would have talked first to break the tension, but not now. Since he come clean, the younger man felt relaxed and in control of his life. Though he had much more responsibility now, Tony loved his new role and his new life. Now he didn't have to fake smiles or always tolerate his boss and his colleagues' bad mood and stupid jokes... and Gibbs' headslaps.

I am sorry!"

Tony opened his mouth to speak, but Gibbs doesn't let him. He didn't want to lose his momentum.

Gibbs put his hand to the back of Tony's head and he flinched, expecting a head slap. Gibbs rested his hand at the nape of his neck.

"I wasn't disregarding what you did while I was gone. You kept things together for me. That means more than you know." Gibbs flashed back on the scene in the bullpen, between Tim and Ziva, from the day before and the anger returned for just a second. He explained. "I know what I did put everybody in a tailspin. I know that. I regret just up and leaving like it did, but I don't think I could have left any other way. My world, my sense of right and wrong, my understanding of good guys and bad guys got blown all to hell when we watched that ship blow up in MTAC. I had tried my damnedest. I had done everything I was supposed to do to prevent it, and it happened anyway. I…I was lost. I couldn't take you down that road. I didn't even know where I was going, how could I take anyone with me?"

"I would have gone." Tony said simply.

"I know you would have, Tony. That was the problem. You trust me, and that is great for a Leader. But you are more than just my underling. You are more than just my friend, we're family. Those additional risks, with family, are not acceptable."

Tony didn't look at Gibbs. He just studied his hands.

" About gone with me! I don't think so your wife would had agreed with you! "Gibbs added.

Tony was stunned. He was truly, utterly speechless.

" You got a fierce one! "

Tony laughed and clapped his hands together in amusement," You have not idea, Boss! "

Gibbs walked over to Tony and pulled him into a hug, which was something he hadn't done in years.

" I am glad that you are happy Tony! "

"So...when are you guys having kids?" Logan spits out his coffee , giving Amy wide eyes. Logan must've thought Amy went crazy. But then the older Wolf smirked. "Whenever you're ready to babysit seven days a week." Any glares at her uncle , Mike snickering.

"C'mon, don't you wanna being a little mini you into the world?" Amy asked, ignoring her uncle in law sarcastic words. Amy waited a moment, looking over at Mike.

Logab gives him an odd look. "I can't take care of regular size me! I got married just so I'd have supervision!" Logan laughs, placing the coffee down onto the desk. Mike looks at Logan, an eyebrow raised. "Among other reason I hope." He says, to which Logan tilts his head, nodding.

Amy Wolf-Tanner along with Mike and Logan Wolf - Sanders were hanging out in Mike's office, eating the launch that Logan brought for his husband and coffee who Amy brought from Starbucks. It was nice to have a free time with all this craziness around the office.

"Amy, my dear, I should've married you instead," Mike teased, glancing over at her with a smile on his face. "Your baking skills are the thing of my dreams."

"Well, that Tupperware is full to the brim-eat all you want," Amy laughed warmly.

"Don't tell him that, Amy; he's a wolf...he'll eat them all," Logam snorted. "Save some for the others , huh?"

"Ugh, they always get everything ," Mike complained with a dramatic eye roll."I cannot express my love for you and these cookies," .

"So, that's a no on saving some for your siblings ?" Amy shook her head.

"I gave them a coffee this morning -I don't owe them anything else."

"Well, save some for your husband," Logan said.

"You already took my last name-you want my cookies, too?" Mike asked, feigning annoyance. "So greedy."

Logan rolled his eyes fondly -a ridiculous habit that he had somehow picked up from Bastiana. Amy, Katrina, Tony, Neal , and even Spencer were all notorious for their eye rolling and Logan hated to admit that it had sneaked its way into his everyday reactions, as well. Bastiana was a horrible influence, really.

Logan leered at him and kissed him gently on his cheek

Mike just rolled his eyes at him and chuckling softly.

Amy heart melted a little but didn't let it show. "oh my god, get a room." He grumbled half heartily.

"My husband. I will kiss him anywhere I want, anytime I want." Mike stated smugly and pressed his lips to Logan's just to prove his point.

Amy just rolled her eyes but smiled too.

"Speaking of your siblings!" Amy spoke in a deep, reverberating voice."My dear boss of mine will have my head if she see my sitting my ass down!"

"You do not need to worry about her," Mike assured her, and Amy raised an eyebrow at him.

"Really?" Amy asks as she sat on the table next to Logan. "If I remembered right,were you the one who bide from my mother when her favorite book went missing?"

Mike blushed when he heard these words come out of Bastiana's daughter mouth.

Amy started to laugh and Logan got up from the table by saying. "Or when you run to Neal when Bastiana..."

"Off to work, both of you" said Mike.

"Yes, Dad" said Logan and Amy causing Mike to throw a pencil at their heads.

Finally be alone, Mike finished the paperwork from one of the most important clients of his sister, he finally could be in peace and clean his name but he didn't count of his niece-in-law storms in his office.

"I am going to kick that slut's flat ass so hard she is launched across New York," Katrina growled out, and Mike flinched at the absolute venom in her voice. "How...how...how fucking dare sh just..." She let out an angry growl, and damn Mike was terrified, but also...a bit pissed off too.

Who messed with his niece - in-law and friend?

Mike cocked his head. "What is going on?! , taking one step forward. "Katrina are you ok?"

The woman lifted a hand, shaking it briefly. "I don't know " she murmured, beginning to pace a small line in the clearing. "This is so wrong on many levels ..." she sighed, chuckling again. "I think I will go Bastiana's in her."

Something manic flashed in the woman's blue eyes, and Mike resisted the urge to step back. "What is it?" he asked lowly, realising the woman hadn't exactly dodged his question, more answered without truly answering.

"She threatened me," Katrina grinned." She fucking threatened me"

"Threatened? " Mike parroted, folding his arms."By who?"

The blonde chuckled almost self consciously, running a hand through her hair. "Ziva Fukcing Davis.." she admitted, looking up through her lashes.

FLASHBACK

Walking out of the interrogation room with a big smile on her face. She loves her work but the favorite part of her was when her clients were involved somehow with the police, she liked when she people tried to scared her or put her in her place because she was a woman because she could show them the real reason of her last name.

She was fascinated and scared by the agent Gibbs. The cold death stare, the blue eyes that could see in her soul, his collected behavior and his calmness had something that reminded Katrina of Bastiana. This man take under Tony wing her husband, protect and train him, watch his six when the family couldn't, Gibbs was there for her husband during the plunge's accident, Gibbs was the person that always sat by Tony's bedside whenever he was sick or injured. He was the one that helped him get through each of those occasions. He was the one that kept him fighting. He was the one that constantly reminded Tony he was a good person. He was the one that protected him and had his six.

Gibbs was the father figure that Tony wanted in his life but didn't needed. His mother stood next to him been a father and a mother at the same time.

Anyway, while Katrina was walking through the corridor of the NCIS she felt someone eyes on her. Being married to a Agent and a lawyer made her more paranoid that usual.

Katrina can hear her. She knows it is her. 'You can come out of the shadows, I don't bite ' She does not stop walking, she does not turn to see who is there. Katrina knows she is not alone, and when she heard another sound a couple of seconds ago, she knows instinctively who is there.

She leaned forward, and suddenly there was Ziva David stepping out of the shadows shocked.

"You may be a Mossad but I had been trained by wolves!" Katrina said without once looking in her direction causing her to snort.

She turned at the woman . She had wanted to meet this woman, from the day Tony had told her what he meant by the 'Ziva dinner episode.' She had wanted to slap her since then, and now she had a chance. But today she had to make do with just talking; well she could deal with that.

"Hello Officer David!"

Ziva dumbly nodded not sure what this woman was about to do. Normally women were too afraid of her to speak like that to her. But this one was different.

"Actually is Agent David!"Ziva said ,holding out her hand.

Katrina raises her left hand, her engagement and wedding rings proudly on display.

"So its true!"Ziva said snidely.

Katrina hadn't had anywhere close to enough coffee for this. She remained a Wolf to the core, and any battle occurring before ten AM was likely to be short and brutal. The lawyer 's smile she'd perfected over her years in law slid into place.

"Its true what?"

"That you failed?!"Katrina said in a sweet tone, her facial expressions entirely different."That my dear husband tricked your Mossad instincts?. "

"You hate the fact that you lost control. You had the perfect plan but you didnt count that Tony has someone in his life to have his back."Katrina saw the subtle clench of Ziva's jaw and smiled triumphantly. She always knew how to rile the people, and this way Ziva would spill the real issue shortly after.

"Or maybe you are jealous because your little daddy of yours use you and trained you to be his puppet, sent you away from your home maybe he wants to hide how much of disappointment you are..."

That certainly got a reaction from the Israeli woman. Ziva's face immediately went red at his words.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are to make an accusation like that!" Ziva shouted in anger as she took a step forward, but the sound of the drum being pulled back stop her in her track. This woman carried a gun with her in NCIS building?

"And who do you think you are? I didn't permit you to my way, Agent David. So you better stay right where you are and let me finish."

Katrina's blue eyes turned almost black as the rage coursed through her body and she jerked Ziva forward then slammed her back against the wall. "Iff you ever lay a finger on my husband again I will break every bone in your body with my bare hands, starting with your fingers and toes, then your knees and elbows so that all you can do is lay there, waiting and wondering what bone I'll break next."

There's something dangerous burning in the woman's eyes, not a trace of her usual gentleness and mischief in them. Ziva had only seen this gaze in Tony's eyes when used that face on the worst unforgivable criminals. Suddenly feeling threatened and a bit of fear, Ziva stayed on the floor and gritted the words out."You are threat me?"

Ziva David was a tough woman who grew up in a harsh environment, the first thing she learned was probably that taking different opinions from others equals submitting. She never had any problem voicing her disdaining opinion about people, but people had never talked her back in equally harsh words.

"I don't make idle threats and I don't miss when I throw a punch."She growled.

Katrina was almost flippant, calm. After all she have been taught by the best.

She took a last look before swinging round and making her exit.

Hearing her name , Katrina turned to face Ziva once again, only to find the Agent glaring at her one more time she glared back. If the bitch wanted a war, Katrina would give her a war.

"Threats goes both always!"Ziva says dryly, eyes cold as ice and hard as stone.

END FLASHBACK

A silence prevails between the two Wolfs.

Something switched in Mike's expression. It went a bit dark. "Oh… did she now?" he asked, sweetly, too sweetly.

'"Do you know what we do to someone who hits us below the belt?" Mike says and Katrina grins devilishly.

"Cut 'em off at the knees."

He was late. For the first time in his life Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs was late but not for work. He was late for his coffee date with Bastiana Wolf.

Not a date but a meeting between friends.

After they last meeting, they had some kind of agreement between them. He spent some time with her and found out that he likes her and that scares the shit out of him. It scared him that she beat him without even know it.

When was the last time someone affected him like this? He didn't think anyone had, at least not to this extent.

Except Shannon but Bastiana Wolf wan not Shannon.

His first wife was calm and easy person, warm and polite. She was the only person who truly knew him, knew every hidden part of him. She was patient with him, even with his mood changes. He married her after all, they had a beautiful girl together.

Jenny, Diane, Dr. Ryan, Hollis Mann and so many other women came to his life but didn't stay. The blame was all on Gibbs not them, he was the one who didn't let himself to move on.

The heart of Gibbs shatters in the thought of Kelly and Shannon disappear from his mind and heart. They were the only thing that kept him sane for a very long time, he fears that if let them go he will goes with them.

People around him kept telling him that he deserves happiness after all the things he had been through but what woman would want a man like him.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs . The workaholic man, the man who loves rules and the same he doesn't seem to know how to smile, he was also initially unwelcoming of strangers and people he deemed a threat to himself. Gibbs is also sarcastic, with a dry, biting sense of humor, particularly in remarks directed at people he doesn't feel particularly keen of. He would make no effort to hide his ill feelings towards them, showing it in small subtle ways like openly ignoring them or not heeding their opinions.

Gibbs was proud to say he's a man in control; to be an Agent and Leader he needs to think before letting his emotions (and impulses) get the better of him.

But one day he meets Bastiana Wolf and that changes everything.

He knew it that the woman was bad news from the beginning. She was a strong, hard-working, cold hearted bitch.

Gibbs had never met someone who had the gut to question his authority and stand up to him, that make him jump from the happiness but scare the shit out of him at the same time.

Bastiana Wolf its a person who have her at your side a friend and not enemy.

He shook his head and refused to acknowledge the fear coursing through his head watching Bastiana sitting in a chair waiting for him.

"Yes"Gibbs thought as she smiles, and in such close quarters Gibbs thinks he might go blind."Just friends."

Bastiana was the first to arrive at the coffee shop, and though she knew she was early, she couldn't help but worry that Gibbs had forgotten. People chattered all around here and in the corner of the shop a radio was playing music. Bastiana walked up to the counter, and a petite waitress greeted her.

"Could I please have two coffees, ?" She said.

She waited by the edge of the counter, glancing at the window ever so often. The barista handed her the drinks, and she placed a few paper dollars in her hand, hoping it was enough. She took the extra change she was handed, and as she did so Gibbs walked in. He spotted Bastiana and smiled at her.

"Bastiana, my apologies for being late, you see-"

"It's okay. I'm just glad you're here," Bastiana answered, blushing as she spoke. "Should we sit outside?"

"Yes. The weather's lovely today, so... yes." Both of them were blushing as they walked outside, carrying they're respective drinks. A few birds were chirping above them as they sat, the ebony seats warm from being in the sun all day.

"How've you been?" Gibbs asked, watching Bastiana intently. He couldn't help but think that she looked magnificent in this lighting, and he recognized the necklace she was wearing.

"You wore that the day we met," he pointed out. Bastiama swallowed her drink, her eyes wide.

"Its a gift from Tony for Mothers day Bastiana said, suddenly very interested in the handle of her coffee mug. "But... I've been good. The usual. I mean, I'm better now that you're here, but..." Bastiana smiled at him.

Get it together, woman!, she thought.

Their meeting continued along smoothly, and by the end of it both of them seemed to glow with happiness. Gibbs offered to walk Bastiana to her firm, which she eagerly accepted.

"I want to ask you something"She was a fool to be having this conversation with him.

"You like sticking your nose into my business?" She snapped.

"Well, yeah," He answered, as if the woman were an idiot for asking. Then she grinned.

"Had fun reading my case?"

Bastiana arched an eyebrow; eyes assessing him with a frankness that made Gibbs suddenly feel as though everything he was thinking was suddenly exposed to her gaze. It strangely reminded him of looks his mother used to give him whenever he'd said or done something to displease her. He didn't like it.

Looking at her again , he saw pure fear in her eyes.

Gibbs took a step forward. "I'm sorry." He said quietly."I didn't want to!"

Slowly, and rather awkwardly, he placed a hand on the woman's back and used the other to stroke her hair, attempting to calm her. "It-it's alright." He said, slightly uncomfortably. "It's going to be alright, you're safe."

Gibbs felt shame. Somehow a friend of a fiend find a file of Bastiana but not every file but the file of her case.

Bastiana Wolf VS Alan Woodford.

When he opened the envelope, his blood was frozen while reading the accusations.

Repeated rape

Kidnapping

Stalking

He saw the photos. Picture of her naked body, all those cuts and bruises, saw her bruises on her porcelain skin, the marks around her neck.

When he read the case file he wanted to close it and throw it against the wall. Everything was written in the envelope, the kidnapping from her house, the place where she was imprisoned, her testimony was full of painful details. The lawyer had said in detail, the way he touched her and the way he hit her.

How he threated her siblings to make her slept with him, how he beat her up cracking her skull and almost bleed to death.

He read how SVU and BAU team together tracked her and flew to the hospital. He stopped reading the envelope when he reached the point where he checked that the patient's heart had stopped 2 times.

She had checked her dates and they were the same as Tony's days of vocation. His Agent got through something like that alone, without else be aware of that.

"Bastiana , are you ok?"

The woman did not respond, instead she started to wail and call out in a language that Gibbs did not understand, but his heart ached for her all the same.

She straightened and turned, her face impassive once more, lacking any visible sign of distress. Her eyes, previously seeming to have been brimming with tears were clear and calm, and the corner of her mouth quirked up.

"We have to go "It wasn't a question.

"What?" He almost chocked getting the words out. What? It echoed in his mind. Her piercing eyes evaluated, and dismissed him.

No...

She stood in pride in front of him a complete antithesis to the woman was broken – thought was broken – just moments ago.

She turned to face him. "Thank you. For your company." She smirked.

He gazed after her as she left. Stunned. Speechless. He couldn't even summon a clever quip.

Gibbs walked into the office with his usual morning coffee. He saw McGee and Ziva back at their desks, Tony will be with Jimmy talking about the case.

"Good morning Boss." McGee called out from his desk as Gibbs walked in. Gibbs nodded his welcome and looked at Ziva smiling at him.

His phone rang as he took a sip from his cup. "Gibbs" He told the caller. "This is Vance. Come into my office now." The director had called him and from the tone of his voice, it seemed urgent. Vance had hung up the phone before Gibbs can ask anything more.

Gibbs got up and saw his two agents looking at him expecting a case and order to get their gears. He waved his hands signalling them to relax and walked up the stairs to the director's office. He used to barge in when Jenny was around but with Vance, he is learning that it is not wise to do so. The secretary told him to go in and Gibbs walked into the director's office.

"Sure. I'll let them know." Vance told someone on the phone and hung up when Gibbs walked in. From the expression in Vance's face, Gibbs knew it isn't going to be a pleasant conversation.

"I have some bad news." Vance said unsure how to say it out loud. Gibbs kept mute waiting for Vance to continue. "Someone delivered a file to me this morning!"

Gibbs' body stiffened but his face remained neutral. He got a bad feeling in his gut.

"They know the truth of Ari David's death and threat us to expose it unless Ziva Davis goes back to Israil"
