One thing I'm confused about is that if the BF really hit Tony he would have arrested him for assaulting an officer which I believe is a felony and the same would be for the girl, Natalie. Other then that I think the story is very engaging.

Excellent story.

"Executing them seems a bit harsh - just for rape.". What? It wasn't just for rape; Tony knows those men were with Saleem, and guilty of much more. I understand that he's feeling protective towards Natalie, and a bit raw still personally, but that's a really odd comment.

This was a great story! Thanks for writing it!

Brilliantwish this was how series 7 went, rather than the one we had to watch! Looking forward to reading the sequellove Natalie and Tony’s relationship.

I have an idea of when Talk comes along
so obiusly ziva doesn't like Natalie at first but she makes her the godmother and Tony the godfather because she knows that they will protect her daughter

Excellent story...I loved your spin. Thanks for sharing.

Love it!

Personally, I don't think Natalie changed Tony but let him be his true self. No: we love you because you're a clown".
No "What would a woman like her [Dana Hutton] see in you!"
No: "I need a shower just talking to you".

Why oh why couldn't you have created Natalie for CBS/NCIS?

Thanks for this story.

BF

Great chapter.
I did miss this exchange though:
Fornell: This is a big deal for you- letting me drive your car.
Gibbs: Yeah, whatever. You already slept with my wife [Diane].
Fornell chuckles.

On to next chapter to see is Tony & Stan have the same tire blowout as Tony & Tim and if Natalie stands in the road pointing her Sig at a skidding semi.

BF

See, here's my problem. One can only go along for so long blaming their parents, in Ziva's case her father for their continuing behavior.
Ziva had chance after chance to change. She's an adult and has been since the very beginning. She hero worshiped her father and only stopped when it suited her purposes.

I find any tears on her part, especially around Gibbs to be emotional manipulation. Very very glad they didn't work on him in this chapter/story.

This chapter makes me miss Shane Brennan. Okay so he wasn't DPB but he did allow Tony to be a badarse like you wrote him in this chapter.

Shane leaving for NCIS: LA was the worse possible thing to happen to NCIS. He may have teased at Tony/Ziva but he never took it where Glasberg did.

I think I know what Natalie saw and I'm sorry for her but I can't say I'm sorry for the woman under the burlap bag over her head if it's who I think it is. I know that's mean - really mean but at this stage of the show I was completely done with her.

Oh Tony what have you done?
In a few years Gibbs is going to tell you to NOT be like him - if only he'd said it earlier.

Oh how I hope Tony and Natalie don't end up in Saleem's camp and end up rescuing Ziva.
