Tony kneels in front a grave, he wipes away leaves revealing the name Ziva DiNozzo, it was the 7-year anniversary of her death. Tony leaves a single rose on top of her tombstone and slides to his left, he brushes away more leaves...Sienna DiNozzo, she was only 8 when she died. Their lives taken while in Tel Aviv visiting Ziva's mother, it was a car bomb. Tony was not there, he was home with their 2 sons, Tony Jr. and LJ.

Tony rises..."If it's the last thing I'll ever do...I'll get the man who killed you...I promise."

Tony leans down and kisses the top of Ziva's tombstone and walks off.

Tony walks off the elevator

"Boss, the director wants to see you."

"McGee, you get those files I wanted?" ...tossing him his coat

"Yeah, they're on your desk."

Tony moves quickly up the stairs, past Cynthia into the director's office.

"You wanted to see me, Gibbs?"

"Sit down, Tony."

Tony sits..."Tony, you can't keep doing this to yourself...the boys told me you hardly sleep anymore...your obsessed with finding Ziva and Sienna's killer."

Tony is silent..

"Tony, talk to me.."

Tony rises..."I respect you, Gibbs...I love you like a father, but back off."

"Tony!"

Tony stops at the doorway..."I know revenge, Tony...it takes years to recover from it."

Tony stands there still..."I wouldn't know, Gibbs...I haven't got my revenge yet." ...and he leaves.

Tony now at his desk

"Where's the Hugo file, McGee?"

"Ducky's not done yet with her autopsy, Boss."

"Go down and see what's taking him."

"On it, Boss." ...McGee leaves..

Tony opens up a file...marked at the top, "The Hatchet."

Tony pounds his fist on the table...then runs his left hand through his hair

McGee arrives in Autopsy..

"What's the word, Duck?"

"Tell Anthony, I'll be done in very soon...I had an emergency at home with mother."

"Nothing bad, I hope."

"No, she just tried popping some popcorn in the microwave."

"I love microwave popcorn."

"Me, too...but mother put a metal pan in the microwave, added butter and threw in a sealed jar of popcorn, turned it on for 10 minutes...safe to say, my microwave blew up."

"Dang, I hope your mom wasn't hurt."

"No, she was lucky...she was watching wrestling in the living room when it blew."

McGee arrives back in the squad room..."He's almost done, Boss...he had a family emergency."

Tony stands..."Is this mother ok?"

"Yes...but his kitchen isn't it...how old is she anyway?"

"Never ask a woman her age, Probie...no wonder you've been divorced from Ruby three times."

"We're actually back together again."

"Again?"

"Yeah, for Timmy."

"Even your son knows you two shouldn't be married, McGee."

Gibbs limps out to the railing...

"DiNozzo!"

"Yeah, Boss."

"Jenny's making spaghetti, she wants you and the boys to come for dinner."

"I'll think about it."

"It would make her happy, she hasn't seen you guys in weeks."

"Alright, what time?"

"6:30."

"I need to bring anything?"

"Just your asses to sit and your mouths to eat."

"Ok.."

Gibbs limps back into his office

"He's walking better."

"It's been two years, Tim."

"Yeah, but he's not using his cane anymore."

"That's true."

"Hey, why don't I ever get invited to dinner?"

"Oh, I dunno...could be that time you had a huge party and didn't invite any of us."

"I told you, that was for my book."

"...and?"

"Look, Ruby didn't want you guys there."

"Oh really?" Tony picks up the phone and dials...

"Stop, ok...my publisher didn't you guys there, she thought it would hurt the characters in the book."

"Come here, McGee."

"Why?"

"Now!"

McGee walks over...Tony stands and then smacks him in the back of the head..

"You made me walk over for that?"

"Yeah, I'm too lazy to walk over."

"How un-Gibbs like of you."

"Thanks...works for me."

"By the way, before you hear it from anyone else, Lisa dies in my next book."

"Thanks for telling me, Tim."

"Tommy's getting a new love interest, too."

"Oh yeah? Who?"

"Just some forensic specialist."

"Abby?"

"She loves you, Tony."

Tony sighs...

Tony and McGee arrive in the morgue after getting a call from Ducky

"What you got, Ducky?"

"It's a mess, Anthony."

A woman's body is in hundreds of pieces...McGee sees it and turns away

"C.O.D.?"

"She was hacked apart."

"T.O.D.?"

"Sorry, Boss." McGee leaves...

"It's really not too clear, but the decomposition isn't too far...maybe a 3-4 days, depending on how cool the box was kept."

"Any evidence of drugging?"

"I didn't find any, but Abby has multiple samples."

"Are you sure it's Jill, Duck?"

"Yes, I found a breast implant and the serial number indicates it was hers."

"Keep me informed, Duck."

"Oh, Anthony?"

Tony stops and turns around..."What is it, Ducky?"

"My prayers are with you, lad...it's the 7th anniversary isn't it?"

Tony puts his head down..."Thank you, Ducky."

Ducky takes his hand in his and pats it.

Tony then leaves..

Tony steps into the elevator, on his way down to see Abby...

Two days earlier

"McGee, where the hell is Agent Hugo? She's late and she's never late."

"Last time I saw her was quitting' time on Friday, Boss...and she's not answering her cell."

The elevator dings..."Jill Hugo?"...a UPS man calls out.

Tony points to her desk..."Put it there, I'll sign for it."

He walks over to Tony..."Oh, I'm sorry, it's from a Jill Hugo to NCIS...what's that?"

"That's here. We're NCIS."

"Huh?"

"Nevermind...just give me a paperwork." Tony signs it and the guy places the box on Hugo's desk.

"What is it, Boss?"

"No idea, you can open it, if you want."...as Tony eats the rest of his donut

McGee walks over to Hugo's desk and pats his pants...

"Lost your knife, Probie?"

"I could've sworn I had it."

Tony takes out a knife from his desk and tosses it to McGee..."Keep it, Tim."

McGee cuts down the center...then opens the box...he searches through the packaging peanuts and pulls out an ice cooler.

Tony licks his fingers finishing his donut..."So, what is it, Tim?"

McGee stands staring into the ice cooler, the lid drops to the ground.

"What, McGee?" ...as Tony stands..."Probie!"

McGee continues to stare at it.

Tony walks...inside are quite a few body parts in ziplock bags

Tony picks up his phone..."Ducky, I need you in the squad room." ...he hangs up..."McGee, I need you too.." Tony stops..."McGee?"...Tony moves his hand in front of his face...McGee does nothing...Tony grabs the lid and puts it back on.

Tony grabs Tim by the arms..."You ok, buddy?"

"Was that...Jill?"

"I dunno, Tim."

Tony steps off the elevator...

"Hey, Tony!"

"Abs, what ya got for me?" ...handing her a caf-pow...

"Undying love and affection?"

"I love you, too, Abby."

"Awww, Tony..."

"Well?"

"As you probably know, it is Agent Hugo...I was beginning to like her, Tony"

"She was a good agent." ...as Abby moves to her computer

"She had GHB in her system...so, she was drugged."

Abby turns around looking at Tony

"I also found seminal fluids and stomach acids."

"He raped...then threw up on her?"

"I think both occurred after he cut her up, Tony."

"What a sick bastard."

"One of the pieces had a bite mark, I took a mold of it."

"Abby, is it him?"

"Yes, Tony...it's him."

Tony turns around...and starts to leave...

"Tony..."

Tony is silent

"Tony, I'm here for you."

"I know, Abby..." ...and he leaves..

Tony rings the doorbell..

Jenny answers the door..."Come in."

Tony hands her a bottle of wine

"Thanks, Tony." ...as Tony, Tony Jr. and LJ walk inside

"He's downstairs."

"Can we go down with him, dad?" They both ask.

"If it's ok with you, Jenny."

She smiles..."Of course."

They head down into the basement

"It's been awhile, Tony." ..as they both sit at the kitchen table

"It smells delicious."

"Thanks...are you ok, Tony?"

"Yeah...why?"

"Gibbs told me he heard from the kids that you don't do anything anymore. You don't even watch movies anymore...all you do is go downstairs in your basement for long periods of times."

"I'm trying to figure things out...it's just hard."

"When's the last time you've been on a date?"

"What?"

"You heard me."

"I really don't want to talk about this."

"It's been 7 years Tony...you need to move on."

"Do you have to do this today...you do know what day this is, don't you?"

"Yes."

"My wife and daughter died 7 years ago today...and you want me to just forget!?"

"Tony..."

"No. Not today."

She starts to say something..."I said no, damn it!"

Tony gets up..."We have to go."...He walks over to basement door..."Boys!"

"Tony, I made all this food, at least stay."

"I can't."

"At least let the boys stay and eat."

"Fine, I'll be back later to pick them up."

Gibbs and the boys come upstairs...he walks over to them, putting his hands on top of their heads..."Dad has to leave for awhile, stay and eat and have fun with Gibbs, ok?" He kisses both of them on top of the head and he leaves.

"Bye, daddy!" The boys together

Gibbs limps over to Jenny..."What did you do?"

Jenny sighs...as Tony leaves...

Tony turns off his car and gets out and walks inside the bar...

"Jack, line 'em up." ..as he sits down at the bar.

The bartender pours him a shot and sets up 4 more glasses...

Tony picks up the first glass, bringing it to his lips...

Tony flashbacks to the airport...7 years ago...

"Daddy, why aren't you coming with us to Tel Aviv?"

"I can't, honey, it's kind of like a girl's week off...and you pumpkin are a girl." He tickles her..

She giggles..."I'm gonna miss you."...she hugs Tony and kisses him..

"I'm gonna miss you, too." ...as he lets go of his tight grip on her..

Tony stands..."You got everything, baby?"

Ziva kisses him.."Yeah, my mother's driver is meeting us at the airport."

Tony kisses her 3 times..."One from each of your boys."

She smiles..."We'll be back in a week."

"I know." ...he rubs her back, then smacks her on the butt..."Have fun, but not too much fun."...he gives her a wink.

She and Sienna walks toward the gate...and Sienna turns around and waves...and Tony waves back

The next day

"McGee, you're having a kid?"

"Yeah, it's a boy."

"That's awesome, man...heh...a little McGee running around, huh?"

"Ruby is really excited."

"I bet."

"Tony..."

"Yeah, Boss?"

"Come with me."

"What's up, Gibbs?"

"Tony..." Gibbs sighs..

"What is it, Boss?"

"Ziva and Sienna...were killed in a car bombing today."

"What?"

"Tony..."

"What!?"

Gibbs puts his arms around Tony

"It can't be...it can't be.." Tony starts to sob.

Gibbs tightens his grip on him...

"No...no...no..." tears flow freely from his eyes

Gibbs is silent...as Tony drops to him knees, Gibbs follows him to the ground...

Tony stops from drinking it..."I can't...my boys..."

Tony stands up...takes out a 20 and tosses it on the bar, then leaves...

He gets in his car and drives all the way across town...he stops and gets out and walks up to a door, he knocks on it.

"Who is it?"

Abby opens the door...

"Tony?"

"Get in here, before you catch your death."

Tony walks inside...

"Please sit down, do you want something to drink?"

Tony sits on the couch..."No thank you."

She sits next to him..."Are you ok?"

Tony puts his head down..."I didn't know where else to go."

She takes his hands into hers..."Talk to me, Tony."

"I..I'm just having trouble."

Abby puts her hand on the back of his head and pulls him to her shoulder.

"Tony...it's ok to cry when you miss someone."

Tony pulls back..."I'm sorry, this was a mistake."

"Tony...you wouldn't have come here, unless you wanted to tell me something."

"I don't know what to say or do..."

"The past is over...don't live in it. Can you remember it? Absolutely, but you have to move on for your boys. By the way, where are the cuties?"

"At Gibbs."

"Can I ask you a personal question Tony?"

"I guess."

"When's the last time you went on a date?"

Tony looks away..."I haven't..."...Tony pauses...

"You haven't what?"

"I...I haven't been with another since Ziva died."

"Awww, Tony..."

Tony stands..."I really have to go."

"Please don't...stay with me."

"I can't..."

Tony walks towards the door..."Abby?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"For being you." ...as Tony walks out

Abby comes out after him..."Please stay...please."

"I'm sorry, Abby."

Abby stands there in her skeleton pajamas, she starts crying...Tony sees this and walks toward her...

"Don't cry."...he leans down and kisses her on the lips, then turns around, walks back to his car, gets in and drives off.

Tony tucks in his sons and watches them from the doorway until they fall asleep.

He heads to the kitchen grabbing a Gatorade from the fridge and heads into his basement

He puts on his headphones and run on the treadmill...time elapses…he's shown doing crunches and pull ups...

He now works with a punching bag...then finally throwing knives in the sketch of an unknown man...it's been hit thousands of times...he throws the final one so hard, the blade goes completely through the target, into the wall behind it.

He drinks his Gatorade and wipes away the sweat with a towel and then walks into another section of his basement, there are 2 shrines erected, one for Ziva and one for Sienna. He lights the candles and sits in the middle of the them and closes his eyes.

Tony flashbacks again..

5 days before the death of Ziva and Sienna...

"Are you sure about this, Ziva?...is it safe?"

"It'll be fine, Tony...I promise."

Tony places his hand on Ziva's stomach and smiles...

"When do you want to tell everyone else?"

"When you get back."

She smiles..."We'll throw a party or something."

"Heh...I love parties"...he kisses her..

Tony eyes are still close, a single tear slowly moves down his left cheek.

Tony wakes, sitting up in a cold sweat...he takes a drink of water and lays back down..

"Daddy!?"

Tony gets up and rushes into the boy's bedroom..

"I'm here, T...did you have a bad dream?" ...LJ continues to sleep...

"Yeah...you got shot, right here." He points to his chest.

"No, I'm right here...I'm fine, see?" lifting his shirt..

"It was so real."

"Shhh, it was just a dream."

Tony lies next to him

"Daddy, do you miss mommy?"

"More than anything."

"I don't remember her."

"You were really young when she passed, buddy."

"What was she like?"

"She was very pretty, she was very smart and she was very funny."

"She sounds great."

"She was...she really was."

Tony lies with him until he falls asleep...

Tony gets up and goes back in his room...he sits on the edge of the bed and opens up the nightstand and takes out one of Ziva's old silk scarf's...he brings it to his nose and breaths in..."God, I miss you so much."

Tony sighs..."I just can't say...Shalom."

Tony steps off the elevator…

"Boss, we got a lead on the unknown suspect."

"A lead?"

"Yeah, apparently the same DNA was found on a dead housewife of a suspected terrorist, who Homeland Security said had ties to the terrorist cell, 'Bloody Days'...a similar cell was taken down last year in Pittsburgh."

"A clear message...I take it to the leader of this 'Bloody Days'?"

"I guess."

"Wasn't a question, Probie."

"Where's the body?"

"Homeland security has it."

"I need that body, Tim."

"On it, Boss."

"DiNozzo." ...Gibbs is seen on the balcony by MTAC..."I need to speak with you, when you have the chance."

"Let me get settle, Boss...and I'll be right up."

Tony walks to his desk and puts his things away...then heads upstairs...

"Go right in, Agent DiNozzo." Cynthia stands..

"What's up, Gibbs?"

"Close the door."

Tony closes the door..

"I want to apologize for yesterday...Jenny shouldn't have said that."

"It's ok, my memory isn't very good...I've already forgotten it."

"Jenny actually wants to set you up with one of her friends."

"No...out of the question."

"Look, Tony...I know how you're feeling...I really do."

"I need more time, Boss."

"No, you don't...it's eating you alive."

"Just my way."

"Your way sucks, DiNozzo."

"What, you want me to build a freakin' boat in my basement, like you!?"

"No...I want you to remember your past, cherish them always, never forget...but live...live for your children."

"I can't..."

"You can and you will, damn it."

"Do I have to sex up some random woman to get people off my back!?"

"It's not about sex, Tony...it's about you being happy."

"You don't think I'm happy?"

Gibbs smacks him on the back of the head..."Snap out of it, damn it!"

Tony looks at his furiously..."That isn't going to work anymore, Gibbs."

Gibbs starts taking off his jacket..."I'm gonna have to kick your ass, aren't I?"

"Please, you must be joking."

"So, what are you gonna do? Fight me or run like a coward?"

"I'm not a coward...but I'm not fighting you."

"If you keep acting like you do, running away from your problems...you're a coward."

"I am not a coward, damn it."

"Then kick my ass."

"No."

Gibbs smacks in the back of the head again..."Come on, DiNozzo. Show me you have a pair."

"I will not fight you, Gibbs."

He smacks him again..."Coward!"

Tony grabs Gibbs by the throat and pushing him against the wall..."Good, hit me."

Tears flow from Tony's eyes..."Why, Boss?"

He lets go of Gibbs' throat..."Why did they have to die!?"

Gibbs wraps his arms around Tony..."It was just their time, Tony...wrong place at the wrong time."

"I miss them so much."

"I do, too...but Tony, they would've wanted you to live on...not being a shell of yourself. Be the Tony Ziva fell in love with...the Tony who took in Sienna after her family died. We need the old DiNozzo."

"I dunno if he's still in here, Gibbs." pointing to his chest.

"He's in there...we'll find him."

Tony starts to walk out..."Who's this friend of Jenny's?"

"I dunno."

"Tell Jenny, I'll think about it."

"She said she'd watch the boys for you."

Tony leaves...he goes downstairs and sits at his desk.

McGee sits, while on the phone..."Where the hell is my body, McGee?"

"A Kim Heathers, from Homeland Security is heading here to talk to you about, Tony."

"Oh great, can't they just send us the damn body...I hate people."

"...and they hate you, Boss."

McGee hangs up the phone..."Boss, Ducky said he sent Hugo's body to her family."

"Where, too?"

"Minnesota...that's where the funeral is. I guess were not going...I kinda feel odd about it, Tony...we only knew her about 5 weeks."

"She was still part of NCIS, McGee."

"Yeah, but her parents barred us from going to the funeral."

"Why?"

"Her mom was against her being in law enforcement, I guess."

"You do it, because you love it...it's definitely not for the money."

"Speaking of money, Boss...you still owe me 20 bucks for lunch yesterday."

"That sandwich and fries cost 20 bucks?"

"Yep."

"Remind me never to send you for lunch ever again. 20 bucks? Are you kiddin' me?"

Tony gets out his wallet and there's a picture of Ziva and Sienna...Tony sighs...then grabs a 20 from his wallet and crunches it up and tosses it at McGee..."catch!"

"When's that HS person suppose to be here?"

"Tomorrow."

"Why tomorrow?"

"She coming in from Europe."

"What the hell.."

"No clue, Boss."

"The hell with it."

"Huh?"

"Oh nothing, McGee."

Tony picks up his phone and calls Gibbs..."Ok, I'll do it. Tell her tonight. Have her meet me at DiNardo's at 8. I'll drop the boys off at 7:45."

Tony hangs up..

Tony stands in his bedroom, his sons on the bed

"What do you think, guys...blue or black?" Tony holds up a black suit and a blue suit.

"I like the black."

"Green!"

"I don't have a green suit, LJ."

"Green!"

"I have a green tie, though."

Tony goes to his closet and gets a green tie and places next to the black suit.

"How's it look?"

"Green."

"You're a boy a few words, LJ...what you think, T?"

"I like it."

"Dad?"

"Yeah, LJ?"

"Is she gonna be our new mommy?"

"I've never even met her before, buddy."

"Are you gonna have sex with her?"

"Where did you hear that from?"

"A boy at school." Tony stands there shocked...

He walks towards the bathroom..."Jeez, they talk about sex in 5th grade?"

Tony walks back..."Go get ready to go to Gibby's!"

They both run off...

Tony knocks on the door...

Gibbs opens the door..

"You ordered 2 DiNozzo's?"

The boys head inside..."Gibby!"...they quickly hug him, then run off..."cookies!"

"You ok, Tony?

"Better than you're gonna be if they eat too many cookies...and no giving them coffee, Gibbs...LJ was up to 4, peeing every 10 minutes last time."

"You're no fun, DiNozzo...speaking of fun, what if you two hit it off?"

"Look at me, I couldn't get laid right now if I was in a whorehouse with a million dollars duct taped to myself."

"Weirder things have happened...I'm married to Jen now."

"That's true."

Gibbs pats him on the shoulder..."Have a good time and if you do get lucky, just give us a call, we'll watch the boys for the night."

"Thanks, but I doubt very much you'll need to do that."

Tony leaves...he arrives at DiNardo's and walks inside.

"I'm suppose to be meeting a woman here. A blind date."

"Yes, she's right over there." ..pointing to the far back area..

"Thanks.."...Tony walks back and sees a woman, she has long black hair, it's in a ponytail

Tony moves to her side and reaches out his hand...then stops...

"Abby?"

Abby rises and hugs Tony..."Surprised?"

"You could say that...did you and Jenny plan this from the beginning?"

"Umm, not really...I've, ummmm…had a crush on you for ages, Tony."

"You have? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I have...you always told me you looked at me like a sister."

"Well, I kinda have, Abs."

"I'm tired of being the sister!"

"I never thought you felt so deeply about this."

"Well, I do."

"It's just not a great time for me, Abby."

"I know that...but I want to help you get through it...if you'll let me."

"Why would a beautiful woman like you want to get mixed up with a guy, who has 10-year old twin boys and is pissed at the world?"

"Maybe because I love you...ever thought of that!?" Abby punches him in the arm

Tony looks at her shocked..."You hit hard, Abs."

"Learned it from, Gibbs."

"I forgot about Gibbs...he would kill me."

"No, he wouldn't...he knows we're here together."

"I should've known."

Tony rubs his arm..."I dunno, Abs...every woman I get close to either ends up dying...or worse, married to Gibbs."

Abby hits him in the arm again..."Wait, was that a joke? You told a joke."

"Yeah, I guess I did."

"Awww, the old Tony returns...I've missed him."

"I guess I'm an absolutely bastard now, huh?"

"Yeah, you learned from the best, though...you did Gibbs proud."

"What exactly would you want out of a relationship with me? What do I have to offer you?"

"Oh...I dunno...Sex Machine."

"Stop it."

"What? You don't get the nickname sex machine for no reason."

"That was in college."

"Come on, Jenny and Ziva talked about you all the time."

"Great, I'm never getting laid ever again."

"Oh no, quite the opposite actually, Tony."

"It's been seven years, Abby...I haven't even thought about sex in that time."

"You're joking, right?"

"Sadly, no...hell, I don't even know if my plumbing still works."

"Wanna find out?" She chuckles..

"Heh...I have to give it to you, Abs...you don't give up."

"I wasn't joking, Tony...have you ever made love in a coffin?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Yeah, in college."

"Well, you haven't with me."

"Nope, sure haven't."

"If you behave, I'll put in my vampire teeth."

"Uhh, ok."

"Don't worry, I'm not a biter, unless you like that."

Abby rubs along the scar on Tony's forehead with her fingers..."Scars are so sexy."

"I have a lot of those, Abs."

"I know."

Abby scoots her chair closer and runs her fingers through his hair..."Your hair is started to turn a bit gray...that's so sexy."

"I thought silver was your color?"

"Silver, gray, same difference."

"If you say so..."

"Tony..." ...she looks directly into his eyes..

"Yeah?"

"Remember at your bachelor party, when I was giving you a lapdance and I kissed you?"

"Heh...kind of hard to forget, Abs."

"Ever since I did that, I've wanted to do it every time I've seen you since."

"Really?"

"May I?"

"May you what?"

Abby moves closer, caressing his face with her hands then kisses him...

She pulls away after about 10 seconds..."Yeah, I remember that tongue."

"Tony..."

"Yeah?"

"Mind if we...skip dinner?"

"Why...you want to do something else?"

"Are you...that dense?"

"Huh?"

"Me...you...naked...my coffin..."

"OOOOOOOOOH."

"Well?"

" I dunno...I've had garlic tonight."

Abby chuckles..."Nice one!" ...as she moves closer, putting her hand on Tony's thigh

"Abby!"

"What?"

"Umm...nothing, I guess...just a little...shocked."

"Come on, lets skip dinner."

"Abby, I don't even know if I can even perform anymore."

"It's like riding a bike, Tony."

"In that case, I think I need training wheels, Abs."

"I'll just tie you up and have my way with you."

"That's one way of doing it."

"There are thousands of ways."

"Thousands?"

"Uh huh."

"You aren't gonna be happy until I'm naked, tied up in your coffin, are you?"

"Nope."

"I can't...the boys."

"Jenny's watching them...I planned this out, Tony."

"I'm just a tad bit scared, Abs."

"You'll do fine."

"That's not what I'm scared about."

"My boys!"

"I told you, Jenny's watching them."

"No, my other boys...the ones your hand is..."

She lightly laughs..."So?" ...she gives an evil grin..

"Check please!" his voice raises..

"We didn't order anything, Tony."

"Right...umm, Abs? I can't stand up right now."

"Why not?" ...she pauses...and lets out a smile..."Your plumbing seems to be in working condition."

She stands up..."I'm going to the little girls room...hopefully by the time I get back...things will be...more, ummm...heh." ...and she leaves.

She wearing a black skirt, that goes to her mid thigh with a short sleeved white button up dress blouse with a black leather vest, she has a red ribbon in her hair with red sandal like heels on.

Tony watches her walk away..."Calm, DiNozzo...calm yourself."

The waitress comes..."Are you ready to order?"

"We've decided to go, she's not feeling well." ...he reaches into his pocket and hands her a 5.

"It's really not necessary."

Tony starts to stand, but quickly bends over at the waist...

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah...it's...just my back."

The waitress puts her hand on his back..."Can I help you to the car or something?"

"No, I'm fine...thanks." ...as Abby walks back in

"What's wrong, Tony?"

"What do you think, Abby?"

She lets out a laugh..."Psss, guess what?" ..putting his arm around her neck, helping him to walk out..."I'm not wearing underpants."

"Me either."

"Oooooh, hinky."

Tony gets in his car and Abby jumps in the other side.

Tony fumbles with his keys, trying to get them into the ignition.

Abby moves quickly to her left, turning her body straddling Tony and kisses him...on the way, she hits the button that lowers Tony's roof on his convertible.

Tony looks into her eyes..."May I help you?"

She starts unbuckling his belt.

"Not here, Abby."

"Why not." She finally gets his belt undone and starts to unbutton his pants

He grabs her hands..."Patience."

"Don't tease me, Tony."

He leans forward and kisses her passionately..."No teasing...just more private."

Abby moves back to her seat..."Oh, so romantic...you put the top down."

"I think you did that with your ass, Abs."

"Are you saying my ass is big?"

"Do I look stupid?"

"Do you want me to answer that?"

"Do you want laid?"

"Ooh, talkin' dirty now, huh?"

Tony starts the car...and drives off...

Abby starts moaning...

"What are you doing?"

She continues moaning...

"You didn't start without me, did ya?"

She moans louder...as Tony pulls up to a red light.. "Oh Tony, yes...YES!"

"Abby!"

"What?" She looks to her right and see a police car.

"Hello, officer."

Tony flips his NCIS badge and the officer salutes Abby and she laughs as he drives off.

Tony turns left and parks outside of Abby's house

"No more stalling, Tony."

"Nope, I guess not."

Abby gets out...and starts walking towards her door..."Aren't you coming?"

"Hopefully often."

"What? ..as she takes the keys from her purse and opens the door.

"Nothing..."...as Tony slowly walks toward her

Tony walks in, closes the door and follows the line of clothing Abby has dropped

"What in the hell are you doing, DiNozzo?"

From the other room..."I heard that, Tony...and the answer is...me."

Tony stops at the kitchen, where Abby is standing in her skirt and blousse only.

Tony walks up to her..."I hope you're ready."

"Ready for what?"

Tony picks her up and sits her on the counter...he kisses her...then pulls apart her top, buttons fly everywhere...he kisses her neck, moving down between her cleavage...he leans back..."Pink bra, Abs?"

"I am a girl, ya know?"

Tony takes the hose from her sink and turns on the water and sprays her chest...

"Ooh, Fatal Attraction. I loved that movie, Tony."

"Yeah..."...he kisses her again..."But if I find dead bunnies anywhere, I'll know it was you."

"Rats!"

"No bunnies!"

"No, I meant...never mind."

He kisses her again..."Now where the hell is that coffin of yours?" She points as he picks her up and carries her that way, his pants fall around his ankles and he waddles with her, disappearing through a door.

"Wow, that's a tiny coffin.."

"Wow, THAT is not tiny!"

"Heh."

Tony in his car, sitting outside of Gibbs' house...he looks at his watch...5:10 a.m.

His cell rings...

"Hey, Abs."

Abby sits in her darkened bedroom..."Why did you leave, Tony?"

"I left you a note."...Tony pauses..."I'm at Gibbs, picking up my boys...gotta get them home and ready for school."

"Did you sleep at all?"

"Not really."

Tony opens his car door and steps out..."I'm sorry about your coffin, Abs."

Abby laughs..."It was well worth it."

"Maybe I can get Gibbs to make you another one?"

"No, don't you dare!"

"He doesn't know it was me, does he?"

"No, just Jenny."

"Why did you lie?"

"Would you have slept with me, if I hadn't?"

"Yes...just be honest with me, ok?"

"I will, Tony."

"Thanks."

Tony walks up to the door..."I gotta go, Abs."

"Ok, I'll see you at work."

click...

Tony knocks on the door Gibbs finally answers it after a couple minutes..."come in, Tony."

Tony walks in..."The boys?"

"Still asleep...come on, let me show you something."

Gibbs and Tony head downstairs into the basement.

"Want some coffee, Tony?"

"No thanks."

"Look what your boys have done." Gibbs takes a tarp off the back of a boat...it reads: "Ziva"

Tony stands there silent

"What am I doing, Gibbs?"

"What do you mean?"

"Did you know my blind date was Abby?"

"No...wait...you and her?"

Sighs..."Yes, so if you're gonna kill me, do it now. Remember, T is still on antibiotics for an ear infection, the meds are in the bag."

"Why would I kill you?"

"Oh, I dunno...I just slept with Abby, who's like a daughter to you."

"She's a grown woman and you didn't hurt her...did you?"

"More like, the other way around. She's aggressive."

"Stop, I definitely don't need details."

"Sorry, Boss."

"Just don't make this a one time thing...it'll kill her."

"Of course not, I would never do anything to hurt her."

Tony turns towards the boat..."Ziva." ...he kneels and runs his fingers along the letters of her name..."Do her proud, Gibbs."

"All right, Tony...lets get Jenny and the boys up and get some breakfast."...patting Tony on the back.

A woman in a navy blue pants suit opens a door and walks inside, she turns on the lights and is startled by someone lying on her couch...

"Tony!?"

"Hey, Dr. Gillian."

"Did you pick my lock again?"

"Nope, used this."...holds up a key

"Ah, at least you've changed your mode of breaking and entering."

"Just entering, didn't break anything."

"What can I do for you, Tony?...wait, your appointment isn't 'til Thursday...you didn't kill anyone else did ya?"

"Not today...yet."

She takes off her coat and hangs it on a coat rack and takes out Tony's file from a filing cabinet...the file is HUGE

Tony looks over at her..."New filing cabinet, isn't it?"

"Sure is, I had to get a new one, your file outgrew my old one."

"You're joking, right?"

She's silent...

She sits beside Tony in her chair..."What's the problem, Tony...that you had to break..."

Tony interrupts her..."Enter"

"Sorry, entered my office before 6a.m.?"

"I...screwed up."

"How did you screw up, Tony? You've already said you haven't kill anyone...are your boys, ok?"

"Yeah, they're fine...it's just that...I cheated."

"Cheated? Like a test?"

"No, on Ziva."

"She's gone, Tony...you didn't cheat."

"Then...why does it feel like I did?"

"She was the mother of your children...it's only obvious, when you see them, you think she's still around...and she is, in spirit."

"Steph..."

"Yes?"

"My heart keeps telling me I cheated on her...and I can't get rid of this pain."

"What does your brain say, Tony?"

"To move on...but then my heart bitch slaps it back into place."

"Good, I'm glad your head is trying to move on...because you have, too...there's nothing wrong with remembering...there's nothing wrong with holding onto the past...as long as it doesn't control your life."

"But, my past is my everything."

"That goes for everyone, Tony. Everyone loses someone in their life. I lost my older sister when she was 17...it took me years to get over her."

She goes through her papers...

"How did you feel...while...in coitus?"

"Huh?"

"Sex, Tony."

"Oh, great...it was awesome."

"So, during it...and before it, you were fine?"

"Yeah, well, I questioned myself a lot beforehand, but during...it was all good."

"When did you start feeling like you cheated on Ziva?"

"The moment I got up and looked in a mirror."

"Then what did you do?"

"I took a shower and tried to clean away my mistake."

"Tony...it wasn't a mistake."

"I don't want to hurt her."

"You can't hurt Ziva."

"No, not her...the one I slept with."

"Oh...how would you hurt her?"

"Every had a one night stand, Steph?"

"Yes."

"Wait, we didn't...did we?" Tony sits up..

She clears her throat

"No wonder you hate me."

"I don't hate you."

"I'm such an ass."

"Tony...we didn't sleep together."

"Oh, thank god."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Oh, nothing...it's not like I wouldn't sleep with or anything...I totally would."

"Uh, thanks...I guess."

"Yeah, sure." patting her on the knee

"Anyway...Tony...did being with this new woman...make you happy?"

"Yeah, for 3-4 hours...it was like...everything was good in the world."

"3-4 hours?"

"What?"

"Nevermind...3-4 hours? Wow, no chaving or anything?"

"My, who's the one curious about my sex life now."

"I never said I wasn't."

"I do have some video taped session...want to borrow them?"

"You're kidding, right?"

"HAHA, of course!"

"Really?"

Tony gives her a look..."No."

"Wait, where were we?"

"I dunno, I think you wanted to have sex or watch me have sex."

"Right. No, wrong."

"Which is it?"

"Tony...get out."

"Why?"

"You're the only man I know who can fluster me."

"I'm sorry you want me...I'll try not to be as sexy next time."

"Thanks...wait, I don't mean that." She sighs..

Tony gets up..and she grabs him by the wrist...

"Tony...sometimes you need to stop listening to your heart and listen to your head."

He puts his head down...then looks back at her..."Thanks, Stephanie." ...and he walks toward the door..."VHS or DVD?"

"TONY!"

"Heh." ..as he leaves

Ducky opens up a morgue drawer

"Good morning, Anthony."

"Time, Duck?"

Ducky looks at the clock on the wall..."8:15."

Tony yawns..."Damn, late again?"

Tony hops out of the drawer..."How's your mom, Ducky?"

"She's good."

"She still have all those corgis?"

"Unfortunately."

"They must be getting up there in age."

"It's like they're related to mother."

"I dunno what to say, Duck."

"Neither do I."

"You got anything for me?"

"I got some mouth wash."

"Oh, is it kickin'?"

"It's kung fu fighting, my boy."

Tony takes a swig of mouth wash...then spits it out in the sink...Tony sees himself in the reflection in some shiny metal..."Man, I need to shave."...rubbing his stubble

"Abigail was looking for you."

"Thanks, Duck."

Tony steps into the elevator and gets off on the squad room

"Boss.."

"What is it, McGee?"

"Mrs. Heathers is here to see you."

"Who?"

"The lady from Homeland Security."

"Oh, where is she?"

"Up in the directors office." ...as Tony sits at his desk, opens his drawer and takes out his electric razor.

"Late night, Boss?"

"Yes." ...as Tony starts to shave.

"I like when you have facial hair, Tony."

"Hey, Abby."

"Hey, McGee."

Abby walks over to Tony's desk and hands him a box.

"McGee, go tell them I'll be right there."

Tim picks up the phone..."No, go tell them...in person."

"Ok...I guess." ...he leaves

Looks back at Abby..."What's this?"

"Open it."

Tony puts down his razor and opens the box..."Aww, my tie...I wonder what happened to it."

"You left my hands tied together, Tony."

"I did? I'm so sorry, Abs."

"It's ok...I like puzzles, it was fun getting out of it."

"I'm sorry about last night, too."

"Why? I had an amazing time. I hope we can do it again...soon...like tonight."

"I dunno, Abs."

"Why not?"

"Aren't...we moving a little fast?"

She sits on his lap..."I dunno, are we?"

"Abby, definitely not here...maybe your lab, but not here."

She laughs..."want to keep DNA in one spot, huh?"

"Maybe."

"Yeah and maybe I'll let you." ...as she gets up and leaves..

"You're getting better, DiNozzo...at least you can stand up straight this morning."

Tony stands and starts to go upstairs..

Tony walks past McGee..."Sorry, Tim...Abby wanted to talk to me about something in private."

"I figured, as much."

"Hold down the fort, McGee." ..as walks through the door.

"Go right in, Tony."...Cynthia waves him in

Tony opens the door and walks through it and sees Gibbs and a woman arguing.

"Did I come at a bad time?"

Tony flops down in a chair.

"This is Kim Heathers from Homeland Security."

"Do you have my body?"

"What body?"

"What do you mean, what body?"

"I'm here to tie up some loose ends."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Show him."

"Show me what, Boss?"

Kim walks over to Tony and takes a photo from a file and shows Tony.

Tony is silent...she then shows him another photo...then another...

"Tony..."

Tony rises and leaves...

Tony goes downstairs to his desk...taking his gun from his drawer...

"Where you going, Boss?" Tim stands as Tony moves quickly, not saying a word..

Tony then walks to the elevator and leaves..

McGee runs upstairs and into Gibbs office..."Hey, Gibbs...Tony just left. What's going on?"

"She's alive, McGee."

Kim walks over and shows McGee a picture of Ziva standing in front of the White House, she has a scar on her left side of her face.

"Why did he leave anyway, Director Gibbs?"

"That's his wife."

"Wife? She's an Al Qaeda assassin."

"What?"

"Who do you think she is?"

"She's an ex-Mossad officer...then she joined NCIS...we thought she died 7 years ago."

"We really do need to share information...we've known about her for more than 4 years, she's committed at least 15 high profile murders in that time, that we can prove."

"Why are you bringing this to us now?"

"She took out a 'Bloody Days' sleeper cell recently...killed all 7 members execution style."

"Why?"

"One of them was undercover NCIS agent."

"What? I didn't know anything about this."

"He had been undercover for over 3 years. It was highly classified."

"Damn, I wonder if Jenny knew about it?"...under his breath

"What?"

"Nothing."

"From what we know, she's still in the D.C. area."

"I don't get...why?"

"All I know is...she's an Al Qaeda assassin and she's extremely dangerous."

"A new target?"

"It's possible...you said, she was married to this NCIS agent?"

"Yes."

"Maybe he's the target?"

Tony's cell rings...he picks it up and sees that it's Gibbs, but he doesn't answer, he continues to let it ring

Tony arrives at his sons' school, he goes inside

"I'm here for my sons, please."

"Is there a problem, Mr. DiNozzo."

"Yes, family emergency."

Back at NCIS

Gibbs is down in the squad room

"I want their bodies exhumed, McGee."

"On it, Boss."

"Tony still isn't answer his cell."

"His cell is still on, want me to track it, Boss?"

"Yeah, might as well."

McGee clicks away at his keyboard

"He's at Washington Heights school"

"Should've figured...picking up his sons."

Gibbs starts limping his way to the elevator..."Exhume them, McGee."

"Right." Tim picks up his phone

----------

Tony stands in the school's office

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Where's your brother?"

"He had to get his bag...did something bad happen?"

"I'll explain later...follow me."

They leave the office and he grabs T...and sees LJ walking towards them, he runs to him, grabbing him and Tony runs to the front entrance and then leaves.

Tony puts them in the car and drives off..

"You're scaring me, dad."

Tony looks through the rear-view mirror seeing LJ, "I'm sorry, buddy...I'll explain when I get you guys back to my work."

"We aren't going home?"

"Nope, not right away anyway."

Gibbs arrives at his house, he goes inside

"Jenny!?"

"Yeah?" ...from upstairs

"Get down here!"

"What is it Jethro."

"Ziva's back."

"What!?"

"I don't have time to explain...get dressed, we're going to NCIS."

"Right.." Jenny leaves

Tony and the boys arrive back at NCIS, Tony points to his desk..."you can either stay there or you can go upstairs with Gibbs...but you MUST STAY in NCIS, do you understand?"

"Yes." both of them...

"Gibbs left Tony."

"McGee, take them down to Abby for me then, would ya?"

"Sure, Boss."

"On second thought, go get Abby and tell her to get up here, then take all 3 to Gibbs office...get Ducky, too."

"He out with the team who's exhuming the bodies."

"Exhuming what bodies?"

"I'm sorry, Boss...it came directly from Gibbs."

Tony rubs his brow..."Do it, McGee."

"On it." ...he leaves

"What's going on, dad?"

Tony kneels, pulling LJ and T together..."Your mother...she's alive."

T gets really excited..."Really?"

"Yeah..."

"Does that mean Sienna is alive, too?"

"I don't know."

Gibbs and Jenny arrive

"Tony..." Gibbs limps over quickly

"Jenny, would take the boys upstairs for me?"

"Sure, Tony...come on, guys." ...holding out her hands...they go to her, grabbing her hands and they leave

"She's not Mossad anymore, Tony."

"What!?"

"That Homeland Security lady said she was working for Al Qaeda."

"No way, she's freakin' Jewish."

"Yeah, I don't get it either...they said they've known about her for 4 years."

"Are you serious? ...and we're hearing about it now?"

"Yeah, it's pretty damn pathetic."

"Anything about Sienna?"

"I ordered their bodies exhumed."

"Yeah, I heard from McGee."

"I had, too, Tony."

"I know...I understand."

Tony sits at his desk..."They've known about her for 4 years? What about the other 3 years? Al Qaeda? I don't buy it."

Everyone except Ducky is now in Gibbs office

"Cynthia, could you watch the boys for a few minutes?"

"Sure, Director Gibbs."

Cynthia leads the boys out of the office and Tony closes the door

"Why the meeting, everyone?"

"Ziva's back, Abby."

"What? No."

"What do you mean no, Abby?"

"Nothing, McGee."

Tony leans against the wall..."Tell them everything, Gibbs." ...as he slides down the wall, taking a seat with his knees to his chest

"Kim Heathers..."

"Who?"

"She's from Homeland Security, Abs."

"I hate those, guys."

"We all do, Abby."

"She brought us intel about Ziva today...she's now a Al Qaeda operative."

"No way!" McGee and Abby together ...Gibbs clicks a button and pictures of Ziva come on screen..

"What's with the scar?"

"From what I've been told, they've codenamed her: 'scarface'."

He shows more pictures..."She executed this sleeper team."

"Why would she kill a sleeper team, Gibbs...if she's evil now?"

"One of them was an undercover NCIS agent."

"Oh.."

"Jenny, do you know anything about this?"

"Absolutely not."

"How, you were the director when he went undercover."

"I was not aware of this, Tony...maybe the CIA used him, I dunno...what's his name?"

"No idea."

"Picture?"

"Nope."

"Then how do we know he was undercover NCIS?"

"Why else would homeland security let us in the loop?"

"Because they can't do their freakin' jobs." Tony stands..."McGee, you're with me."

"Where you going, Tony?"

"Cemetery...please take care of my boys...and if something happens to me."

"Tony..."

"Yeah, Abs?"

"Can I talk to you or a second?"

"Sure...give us a second McGee"...as Tony and Abby walks through Cynthia's area and stand next to the railing."

"What's up, Abby?"

"I can't lose you now."

"Abby..."

"I had a dream last night...that Ziva came back and shot someone...you had blood all over your hands."

"Everything will be fine, Abby...I promise...just watch the boys for me, please."

She hugs Tony..."I will."

Tony walks back into Cynthia's area and waves over his boys...kneels in front of them..."Abby is gonna be watching you...mind her, ok?"

"Yes, daddy." ...together...

He rubs their heads..."Be good boys."

Tony walks over to the door and pounds on it..."Lets go, McGee."

The door opens..."On your six, Boss."

They leaves...

Tony and McGee in Tony's car...they arrive at Hollowbrook Cemetery

They park and walk toward Ziva and Sienna graves, a back-hole is seen in the distant

"Looks like they're done already."

"Yeah, looks like it...call up Abby and see if they're back with the bodies yet."

McGee gets out his cell...as Tony kneels in front of the 2 giant holes in the ground...McGee walks away

Tony grabs a fistful of dirt and lets it slip through his fingers...

Tony flashbacks to 7-years ago, Ziva and Sienna's funeral...

The priests finishes his prayers as Tony stands next to Ziva's grave...he places a rose on her casket, then kneels grabbing a fistful of dirt in his hand...he rises, letting the dirt fall through his fingers onto the casket...

He kneels again, kissing the top of the casket...as they slowly lower into the ground..."Shalom."

Abby stands over Sienna's grave...her umbrella cast a shadow over it..."She was too young to die, Tony."

Tony kneels beside Abby, grabbing some dirt and again letting it fall through his fingers on Sienna's casket...tears fall from Abby's eyes...dripping onto the casket

Tony takes an old doll from his pocket, placing it on the casket..."She will keep you company, my angel"...Tony kisses his hand and lays it on the casket as they start to lower it.

"Boss, they just arrived back." ...as McGee walks towards Tony

"Ok."...Tony stands and looks at McGee...

"You alright, Tony?"

"Yeah." ..as Tony starts to kneel again...just then McGee staggers...then a sound of a gunshot is heard...

"Sniper!" ...McGee falls to his knees, as Tony grabs him and tosses him into the hole...Tony is hit in the back, the impact knocks him into the hole…Tony turns over on his back and raises his gun and fires a couple times, his hands are covered in blood.

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZIVVVVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Tony rolls off of McGee's legs and turns him over..."McGee!" ..Tony rips his shirt off...Tim is wearing his Dragonskin armor..

"Good boy, Probie!"

"Where are you bleeding, McGee?"

Tony lifts McGee's hand from his neck and blood flows freely from the side of his neck..

"Damn it, McGee"...Tony applies pressure to it and grabs his cell..."I need an ambulance to the Hollowbrook Cemetery ASAP, look next to the back-hole. I have a SGW to the neck. There is a sniper in the area, I repeat...a sniper in the area. Use extreme caution."

Tony searches through his pocket for something to stop the bleeding...he finds nothing..

"You're not gonna make it Tim unless I can stop this bleeding."

Tony smacks himself upside the head..."Think DiNozzo, think!"

"This is gonna hurt like a bitch, McGee." Tony aims his gun at the dirt and unloads the rest of the clip...then presses barrel of the gun against Tim's neck.

Tim screams...the gun seers his neck, collarizing the wound.

Tony removes the clip and replaces it with a new one and stands up next to Tim...keeping his gun aimed straight up.

A slideshow of the executions of the "Bloody Days" sleeper cell pictures roll across the plasma in Gibbs office...Jenny is sitting next to Gibbs, looking through evidence.

"You really think Ziva has turned against her own country?"

"I dunno, but look at this photo of her, she's not wearing her Star of David necklace."

Gibbs looks up at the plasma..."Hey, isn't that that legal person?"

"Legal person?"

Gibbs grabs his clicker and clicks it back 2 pictures..

"That's Lee. Michelle Lee, but what is she doing there?" She sighs..

"She was the undercover agent, I take it?"

"Yeah, but why...she wasn't a field agent."

Gibbs picks up his phone...

The sound of an ambulance can be heard in the distance.

"It's coming, Tim."

Tony jumps up and grabs the top of the ground and starts to pull up, when another shot rings out and misses Tony's hand by a couple of inches...Tony drops..."I'm getting tired of this crap."

The ambulance pulls into the cemetery and it's fired upon.

Tony jumps out of the hole and gets behind the back-hole...he watches as bullets riddle the ambulance..

Tony sees muzzle fire and steps out and fires upon on it...moving to the hole..."McGee, get up!" He continues firing as McGee gets to his feet..."Grab my hand!" as Tony kneels down still firing. McGee jumps grabbing Tony hand and Tony pulls as hard as he can. Tony keeps firing until the slide on his gun is pushed back.

"Damn it."...as he pulls McGee out of the hole. Tony drops his gun and grabs McGee other arm and pulls him towards the back-hole. Tony is hit again, this time in the chest...he falls backwards, but he doesn't let go of McGee, which tosses him behind the back-hole, Tony is hit again...this time in the stomach, then again...Tony turns on his stomach and starts crawling...he's hit again in the back...knocking him down.

McGee tosses Tony his gun. Tony looks up, Tony is spitting up blood, he rolls to his back and fires...continuing to move backwards by digging his heels in the ground and pushing. Tony sits up and fires until he's empty.

Ziva is shown with a sniper rifle...A scope comes up...Tony's head is in the middle of the cross-hairs...she fires, the bullet moves in slow motion...Tony falls back and the bullet hits Tony in the head. Tony lies silent, his face a bloody mess.

"TONY!" McGee yells as a S.W.A.T. van finally arrives, but Ziva doesn't fire upon it. The only thing heard is the sound of the ambulance siren and of police radios. A medic runs over to Tim and helps him up..."Help my friend!"

The medic runs over and checks on Tony…then moves back to McGee..."It's too late." ...as he helps McGee back to an ambulance...McGee looks back at Tony...

Tony cell rings...but...there's no one to answer it...

"DiNozzo's not answering his damn phone!"

Gibbs hangs up and dials again..

"Who you calling?"

"McGee."

It rings..."Sir, you really need to put that away."

"Who's that McGee?"

"It's a paramedic, Gibbs."

"Why, what happened?"

"I got shot in the neck."…raising his hand to it.

"Don't touch that!" The paramedic grabs his wrist and puts a bandage of it..."It's a really bad burn."

"Burn?"

"Tony had to burn me to stop the bleeding."

"Where is DiNozzo."

Silence

"McGee!"

"He's dead, Gibbs." Tim painfully said..."He died saving me."

Gibbs drops the phone...

"What's wrong, Jethro?"

"Tony got killed."

Jenny hugs Gibbs...Gibbs picks back up the phone, "How did he die, Tim?"

"Sniper."

"Sniper?" Gibbs slowly hangs up..putting the receiver back on it's base..

The phone rings...it's Ducky..."I've taken samples from both bodies and sent them to Abby."

"Thanks, Duck."

"Where you going, Jethro?"

"I have to tell Abby...about Tony."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, I have to do it alone."

Gibbs limps through the door...

A medic comes up to the McGee and another paramedic in the ambulance.

"I thought you said there was another body?"

"There is, over by the back-hole."

"There's no one there, man."

McGee rises from the stretcher..."What the hell are you talking about?"

"I'm telling you, man...there is no one there now."

McGee gets up..."Please, sir...lie back down."

McGee works his way over to where Tony was, holding his neck.

McGee looks at blood on the grass...and points, "He was right there."

The paramedic looks at the other...and he shrugs..."He wasn't breathing. He was dead."

Abby cries on Gibbs' shoulder

"Why, Gibbs? Why? I finally got to have him and now he's gone. It's not fair." ...she hits on his chest a few times, until Gibbs grabs her and hugs her tightly.

"Where are the boys, Abby?"

"Oh god...I forgot about them!" ...she points to area behind her

Gibbs walks back and sees them both sleeping...Abby comes up behind them..."It's been a long day, Gibbs." ...wiping away her tears

"...and it's just begun."

McGee looking at where Tony was..."I don't see any drag marks."

"Are you sure he was dead, man?"

"He was dead."

"Dead men don't get up and walk away, man."

"Shut up, both of you."

McGee leans down and picks up Tony's gun..."He must've been taken...he doesn't have his gun."

"Who would take a dead man's body?"

Ziva and an unknown man stands next to each other...they are both speaking Arabic...

The camera pans to Tony's bloody face...then back to Ziva and the unknown man as they walk towards him...

"Why did you bring him back here?"

"He reminds me of someone...I just can't place where or when I've seen him before."

"Why do you care, he's dead."

Ziva walks over to Tony and kneels beside him..."Who are you?"…she places a folded up red handkerchief on top of Tony's head and presses down with it.

"Kira!"

Ziva turns..."What?"

"I have another assignment for you..."

The unknown man hands Ziva a folder..."Here's your target."

Ziva opens the folder and looks inside..."How?"

"Execution...leave the body, make sure it's found."

She lays the file on a desk and nods and leaves..

The unknown man starts to roll up Tony in the carpet he's lying on..."Stupid, girl!"

He leaves...

McGee arrives back at NCIS and goes upstairs...

"McGee, how are you?"

He sits..."I'm fine...I got some bad news."

"What?"

"I think the person who killed Tony took his body."

"What?"

Tim sighs..."When they went back for his body...it was gone."

"So, he could be alive?"

"No, one of the paramedic said he was dead...he wasn't breathing."

"Did you see the sniper?"

"No."

"So, you didn't see if it was Ziva or not?"

"No."

McGee grimaces as he holds his neck..

"Have Ducky look at that some more."

"I didn't want to take a painkiller...I wanted to help you guys find Tony's killer."

Gibbs stands and moves to McGee..."Go to Ducky and let him give you something for the pain."

McGee tries to say something...but Gibbs stops him..."Go!"

McGee stands and leaves...

The unknown man comes back in with a gas can and starts pouring it on the rug...he puts the can down and takes out a book of matches...he strikes one and tosses it on the rug.

The unknown man kneels down, lighting his cigarette off the fire...and he says something in Arabic, takes a puff off his cigarette, then tosses it on the carpet...then stands and turns around and walks to a desk, he gathers his things, grabbing a suitcase and filling it with items from the desk drawers.

Behind him, fire moves upward as the carpet slowly moves upward...the fire intensifies as it seems to move closer to the unknown man...the carpet starts to unravel and Tony escapes from it, he grabs the unknown man around his neck and shoves his knife into his spinal cord...and pulls upward..."I don't like being set on fire."...the unknown man falls to his knees..

Tony turns the knife..."What did you do to her?"

He twist the knife again...He screams.."I can do this all day."

Despite the screams...he doesn't speak...Tony looks to his left and sees the folder.."Are you the Hatchet?"

Tony twist the knife again..."You know you're a dead man, don't ya, hmmm?"

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?"

Tony pulls his knife out..."Fine. We'll try something else."

Tony kneels, handcuffing him...then slashing both of his achilles tendons...he then swings him around...

"I'm Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo."

The unknown man looks at him...

"Oh, I just wanted you to know the last person you'll ever see."

Tony stabs him in the left eye...he screams...and yells in Arabic..

"Ewww, gross...I hate when an eye gets stuck your knife...don't you?

Tony shakes his knife trying to get the eye ball off...he finally does and it flies against the wall and bounces off.

"That was pretty damn gross."

He continues screaming...and yelling in Arabic..."English please."

He's silent...

"Speak damn it!"

He doesn't...Tony backhands him..."Tell me!"

He doesn't say a thing...

"You forced my hand!"

Tony stabs him in the other eye..."Jack Bauer, would be proud!"

The man screams...

"Shut the hell up!"...Tony slams his knife down through his skull...and the man goes silent...Tony lets go of the knife and lets him fall back into the desk..

Tony picks up the briefcase and the gun from the top of the desk...and picks up the file and looks at it.

"God, I'm tired."

Tony kicks open the door...he pulls the unknown man out by the leg

"Where the hell is my car? Ah, crap...it's at the cemetery."

Tony lets go of his leg...Tony walks out into the street and looks around..."Matter of fact, where in the hell am I?" Tony seems to be at an abandoned airport of sorts.

Tony searches his jacket for his cell...but doesn't have it...then he moves to the unknown man and pats his coat and pants, finding nothing..."Do you at least have keys?"

Tony searches through his pockets pulling out everything.

"Damn, you aren't good for anything."

Tony takes out his wallet and pulls out his ID..."George Bush? George FREAKIN' Bush? Are you kidding me?"

Tony puts his wallet back and picks him up..."Ah, damn...I think I have a broken rib or something."

Tony drops him and walks back into the building, grabbing the scorched rug and brings it outside...he lays it out, then rolls the man into it...then grabs a corner and pulls him down the runway.

"Why the hell do villains have to have their lair out in the middle of freakin' nowhere? Huh? Aren't you gonna answer?"

"He's dead, DiNozzo, remember?"

"Oh yeah."

"You're also talking to yourself."

"I notice."

"You should stop, someone will think you're crazy?"

"Who, no one is around?"

"Good point."

"I hate terrorist."

"Me, too."

Tony continues walking...

In Abby's lab...her computer beeps..

Abby walks over..."The DNA does not match for Ziva, obviously...but it's Sienna's DNA, Gibbs."...she sighs..."She did die in the explosion."...she walks back over to Gibbs and he hugs her again.

"At least we know for certain, Abs."

"It sucks, Gibbs...how are we suppose to tell Tony's kids that their dad is dead? They've lost everyone. It's totally not fair. I just want to lock myself in my room and cry forever." ...she starts crying again..

Gibbs doesn't say anything

"Say something, Gibbs!"

"They still have us, Abby..."

Tony stops walking, the heat of the midday sun has re-opened the wound on his head, it bleeds into his eyes...he's breathing hard...he takes off his jacket and shirt, revealing his dragonskin. He unsnaps it and pulls it off, Tony is covered in bruises, from his back to his chest. Tony holds his broken ribs.

He grabs his shirt and wraps it around his waist as tight as he can, he lets out a loud moan as he puts his ribs back into place...he ties a knot and puts his dragonskin back on.

In the distance, the sound of cars is heard

"Finally." ...he puts back on his jacket, picks up the briefcase and grabs the rug by a corner and starts to pull it again.

Tony puts the briefcase under his arm and takes a red handkerchief out from his pocket..."Where did this come from?" ...he places it on his head, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Who shot me? Why am I alive?" Tony feels where the bullet actually grazed his head...his finger follows the groove from his hairline to an inch back...Tony looks at his hand...blood drips from his finger...he tastes it..."That's for you, Abby...salty."

Tony starts walking again..."Hope they got you out of there, Tim."

Ziva is shown in a van.

She moves her head back and forth, popping her neck...she places sunglasses on...then lifts a sniper rifle, she places a silencer on it, twisting it until it's tight.

She raises the gun and a scope comes up. She aims it through a hole through the passenger side of the van...the cross-hairs on an elderly lady...then moving to pigeon sitting on top of a neon sign...she fires, the bird disappears in a mist of pink and feathers...the scope moves back to elderly lady...she hasn't moved...Ziva pulls her finger off the trigger and lowers the gun...she has a satisfactory look upon her face.

She moves to the driver's seat and drives off.

Ziva is driving down the road, she turns into a warehouse and turns around, so she's facing the road...she takes out a pair of binoculars...she looks through them and NCIS HQ comes into focus.

Ziva flash backs to the abandoned airport.

The unknown man hands her a file...she opens it...the file and photo of a Leroy Jethro Gibbs is inside.

She grabs her sniper rifle and places it on the passenger seat and waits...looking through the binoculars

Tony makes it to the road...he stands in the middle of it...a car zooms by, nearly hitting him..

"Bastard!"

Tony takes out his badge and gun and points it straight ahead...Another car drives by..

"That obviously isn't gonna work."

Tony moves back to the body on the rug and grabs him, pulling him onto the road..."Damn, you're really starting to stink."

Tony moves back to the side of the road and ducks in a ditch...a couple cars go by..

"Huh? They didn't even slow down. People suck."

Finally a person stops and gets out...moving to unknown man...Tony walks out with his badge out.

"Special Agent DiNozzo."

"I didn't do anything."

"I know that."

"I didn't kill that one."

"I know that...wait, what do you mean, you didn't kill that one."

He pulls a knife and lunges at Tony.

Tony moves back, pulling his gun...shooting him in the chest twice..."You've got to be freakin' kidding me!"

Tony kneels over his body...and pats him down..."Of course, the only one who stops is a sociopath, who doesn't own a freakin' cell phone."

Tony sits on the hood of the car and sighs..

"God hates me, he really does."

Tony lies back on the hood and sighs...

A police siren goes off

Tony looks up..."Oh, thank god."

"Sir, step away from the car."

"Special Agent DiNozzo, NCIS!"

"Step away from the car!"

Tony stands up...and pulls his badge out of his pocket

"Gun!"

"No! It's my badge! See!?"

Tony shows him is badge

"What's NCIS?"

"Naval Crime Investigative Service."

"Huh?"

"Exactly."

Tony walks over to him..."You got a phone?"

"No, but you can use my radio."

"I need you to have someone contact NCIS Director Leroy Jethro Gibbs and tell him there's a sniper after him."

"What?"

"Just do it, damn it!"

"Who are those people?"

"I killed them...ones a terrorist...ones a murderer."

"Bad day?"

"You have no idea."

Tony walks back over to the unknown man, the bloody handle of Tony's knife still sticks out of his skull ...

"Huh, I was wondering where I put my knife."...Tony yanks it out..."Ah, man...I'm never getting that cleaned."...as Tony looks at it, he wipes it off on the unknown man's clothes.

He puts his knife back into his belt. "Call the coroner, too."

Tony walks over to the guy he just shot and kneels and takes his wallet out of his pocket..."Logan Cale?"

"Huh, that sound familiar." ...Tony shrugs..."Oh well."

Tony looks back at the cop..."Hey, not to sound crazy or anything, but where in the hell am I?"

"Clinton, Delaware."

"What?"

Tony stands..."Delaware?"

Gibbs phone rings...Jenny answers it

"I have a message for Director Leroy Jethro Gibbs."

"I'm his wife, former Director Jen Gibbs."

"We received a critical tip that he was in danger."

"What kind of danger!?"

"According to the tip, a sniper is believed to be involved."

"Who issued this tip?"

"It was called in by a police officer in Delaware."

Jenny hits the emergency button, alerting a emergency throughout the building

Gibbs' cell rings...

"Where are you Jethro?"

"I'm in Abby's lab...what's the emergency about?"

"We just received a tip that you were in danger...a sniper, Jethro!"

"What!?...Ziva?"

"No idea, but I've locked down the building...please move to a secure location."

"All right, Jen."

"What is it Gibbs?"

"Security threat."

"We need to get to somewhere without windows."

"The morgue?"

"Yeah, seems like the best location...Abby, go get the boys ready."

Abby leaves to get the boys...Abby wakes them up, grabbing them by the hand and hurries them out the door..

Gibbs, Abby and the boys all get in the elevator and go up to the morgue...they step off..

"What's the emergency, Jethro?"

"Sniper, Ducky."

"Not again."

"Ari's dead, Duck."

"God I hope, we killed him twice."

Jenny arrives...

"Are you ok, Jethro?"

"Yeah...the boys are a little shaken, but we're all fine."

"Where's my daddy?"

Gibbs kneels in front LJ..."He's doing his job."

Gibbs stands and turns around...lowering his head...as Jenny walks over and hugs him.

"Don't be sad, Gibby." Tony Jr. walks up to him..."My daddy will take care of everything."

Gibbs puts his hand on T's shoulder and pulls him into his leg and hugs him.

Gibbs cell ring...Gibbs looks at it..."It's from DiNozzo!"

"What?"

Gibbs answers it...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk...trying to hide from me?"

Gibbs realizes its Ziva...Gibbs covers the phone..."Take the boys over there Abby, please."

Abby grabs them by the hand..."Come on, guys."

Gibbs takes his hand off..."Why, Ziva!?"

"Ziva?"...Ziva looks back..."I thought your name was McGee?" ...a tied up McGee is shown in the back of the van.

"What do you mean...McGee!?"

click

"Has anyone seen, McGee!?"

"I haven't, Jethro."

"What!? I sent him down to you earlier...to give him something for the pain."

"He never arrived, Jethro."

"Abby, have you seen McGee?"

"Not since this morning, Gibbs."

Gibbs takes out his cell and calls McGee...

Ziva flips open a cell phone and answers it..."Do you need more proof? Should I cut off his hand and leave it on your doorstep?"

Gibbs goes silent..

"What is it, Jethro!?"

"She has McGee."

"Director Gibbs...I will trade you his life for yours."

click

"What did she say?"

Gibbs pauses..."She want to trade."

"What does she want?"

"Me dead."

Tony rides in the cop's car

"Why did you carry that guy so far for?"

"I've been searching for him for 7 years."

"That's a long time."

"He killed my daughter."

"I'm sorry."

"He's dead now...he's the one that's sorry."

"Man, you sure you don't want to go to my police station first before heading back to D.C.?"

"I have to get back."

Tony picks up the radio and calls radio dispatch..."Can you connect me with NCIS?"

"One second...sorry, sir, our calls to them aren't being answered."

"Why would that happened?"

"No idea."

"Can you patch me through to a cell phone?"...Tony gives him the number..

"It's ringing, sir." ...rings...rings...rings...

"Come on, Gibbs, pick up."...it goes to voicemail..

Tony puts down the radio..."How long until we're back in D.C.?"

"20-25 minutes."

"Thanks." ...Tony picks up the radio again..."One last favor, patch me through to this number."

Ziva answers..."Yes?"

Tony pauses..."Ma'am, are you satisfied with your cable service?"

"What?"

"I work for a brand new cable company and we're offering special deals to new customers."

click

"Dispatch...ok, I lied...one more favor..."

"Why did you turn off your cell, Gibbs?"

"I'm in control, not her."

"But she has McGee, Gibbs!"

"Yes, but she wants me...not him...I'll decide when I want to talk to her."

"You seriously can't be actually thinking of giving into her demands, Jethro."

"Does it look like I want to die, Jen!?"

"Then what are you gonna do?"

"I don't know."

Ziva opens up Tony's phone and calls Gibbs and it goes straight to voicemail...

"Hmm, it seems as though your boss doesn't care about you, McGee." ..as she turns back to him..."Maybe, we should show how seriously we are, huh!?"

Ziva takes out a remote control from glovebox of the van and flips opens up the switch...and she presses it, a explosion is heard, it shakes the entire building...McGee struggles, trying to get lose...the camera then pans to black smoke coming out of the garage area on the side of the building..."Looks like you're running out of NCIS trucks, McGee."

Smoke fills the morgue through the busted door that heads to the garage

"Is everyone all right!? Abby? Boys?"

"We're fine, Gibbs!"

Ducky hits a button that starts a vacuum, sucking out the smoke...and starting the sprinkler system...

"We're not safe here anymore...quickly, up to my office!"

They all run to the elevator and get on...they get off on the squad room and hurry upstairs.

"Fire department has to be on their way, right!?"

"Yeah, but where's the S.W.A.T. team?"

"No idea."

Back to Ziva…

"You think that got their attention, McGee? Or should I blow up something else?"

"She's starting to piss me off."

"Starting, too, Jen?"

"Who's trying to hurt us?"

Abby quickly grabs the boys..."Don't worry, guys...Gibbs will protect us"...as they hide under Gibbs' desk

Gibbs kneels at his desk..."Everything is going to be ok."

"Thanks, Gibbs."

"Why are you shaking like that, Abby?"

"I'm scared, LJ."

"Don't be, we'll protect you."

"Aww, that's so sweet."...Abby hugs them both tightly

Gibbs, Ducky and Jen are all sitting by the door.

"Got a plan yet, Gibbs?"

"I think I'm gonna have to give in to her demands."

"Absolutely NOT, Jethro."

"Like you said, she's not gonna hurt McGee, see wants you."

"She's a sniper, right, Jethro?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Well, where would you be positioned if you were trying to kill someone in a building? Highest up you could?"

"Depends on what her plans are, but most likely, yes."

"Jen, do you have mirror?"

"I should have one in my purse, Ducky...why?"

"Maybe we should search through the window for her?"

"Good idea, Duck"...as Gibbs grabs Jenny's purse and hands it to her.

"Here's the mirror, Jethro."

Gibbs moves over to the window and slowly moves the mirror up and looks around..."Don't see anything yet."

Boom! ...the window shatters and the mirror explodes into thousands of pieces...

"She's a wonderful shot."

"What side are you on, Ducky!?"

"It was an amazing shot, Jen."

Jenny sighs..."Men and their toys. Idiots, all of them!"

"Jen, we know she's in the area now, at least...EVERYONE stay low and away from the windows, understand!?"

Ziva puts down her rifle..."Right where I want them."

A fire engine siren is heard in the distant

"You hear that, guys?"

The place goes silent...

"Fire department."

"About time."

"I wonder what the hell the S.W.A.T. is?"

"Why don't you call, Gibbs?"

Gibbs turns on his cell...and it rings...

"What do you want?"

"What's your answer?"

"Hang up, Jethro."

"Stand in the window and all of this is over...you have 10 seconds...or McGee is dead."

Ziva pauses..."10..."

"Come on!"

"9..."

"8..."

"7..."

"Why, damn it!?"

"6..."

"5..."

"4..."

"Why are you doing this!?"

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

"Fine, my life for his. Just stop it! It's over."

"No, Jethro!" ...Jenny hugs him and he stands up and walks over to the window

"At least let him go before you shoot me."

The other end of the line is silent...

"Hello!? Ziva!? McGee!?"

"The cell is still on, 100 feet to the west."

Tony gets out of the car..."Thank you for everything."

Tony runs to the corner, sidling against a building...he looks around the corner and sees a van...beyond that he can see that the fire department has arrived at NCIS HQ.

Tony takes out his gun and crouches and moves quickly around the corner. He ducks behind a trash dumpster after about 20 feet.

Tony moves again...quickly moving to the back of the van...he slowly moves up the side of the van...he gets to the passenger side window and he moves up quickly, his gun leading the way.

Nothing...Tony sees a sniper rifle on the passenger seat and he grabs it...he hears the sound of a muffled voice...he opens the sliding side door and sees McGee, he moves inside and takes the duct tape off of McGee's mouth..

"BOMB!"

Tony tosses the sniper rifle and grabs McGee and jumps out of the van...they both roll on the ground just as the van explodes.

"You already, Tim?"

"Tony! You're alive!"

"I'm like Steven Seagal...I'm hard to kill."

"Please, no movies right now." ...as Tony pulls his knife and cuts McGee loose.

"We all thought you were dead."

"Did Ziva kidnap you, too?"

"I was careless, Tony...I went to the drugstore to get some aspirins and she was waiting for me when I got out...I put everyone in danger. Especially Gibbs."

"Why Gibbs?"

"She wanted to trade my life for his."

"Do you know where she went?"

"She left about 5 minutes ago."

Tony looks over at the fire trucks..."Hmm?"

"Here." Tony helps Tim up..."Lets go."

They walk over to the fire trucks..."Can you take care of my friend?"

The fireman puts McGee's arm around his shoulder..."Sir, you can't go in there."

"Just watch me." ...as Tony goes inside

Ziva steps into the morgue through the busted door from the garage...she quickly takes off the fireman's uniform and looks around...Ziva has a weird look in her eyes..."Have I been here before?"

"Yes, you have."

Ziva quickly turns around as Tony grabs her and kisses her...she's shocked...then kisses him back...she finally pushes him away..."You're dead!"

"Do I look dead?"

"I shot you in the head."

"Flesh wound, dear."

"Who in the hell are you?"

"Tony."

"Tony?...you seem so familiar."

"I should...you're my wife."

"What!? Never."

"Why would I lie?"

"I don't even know you."

"Then why did you say I seem familiar to you?"

She's silent...

"You're my wife...your name is Ziva."

"Ziva? I keep hearing that name."

"It's your name. Formerly Ziva David, but now Ziva DiNozzo."

"You're trying to trick me."

"I don't have any weapons."

"Except the knife."...pointing to it

"Rule #9"

"Always carry a knife."

"Right."

"How did I know that?"

"You worked at NCIS."

"Never."

"Look!" ...Tony points to morgue drawer #7..."We made love in that drawer...on numerous occasions...it was OUR drawer."

Ziva puts her hand to her head..."No!" ...she pulls her gun and aims it at Tony...Tony moves forward, so his head is touching the end of her gun...

"Shoot me, if you think I'm lying to you!"

She cocks the gun...

"Do it!"

Her hand starts to shake...she lowers her gun, she then hits him upside the head with her gun...

Tony's head snaps back as he grabs the gun, he takes the clip out, tosses it to the side, then he removes the round from the chamber and tosses the gun to the other side..."You've hit me harder in bed, Ziva!"

"Stop calling me that!"

"Your name is Ziva, you were born in Tel Aviv, Israel."

"I'm from Afghanistan, I'm not a Jew. I hate Jews. Disgrace of the world."

Tony laughs...

"What are you laughing at!?"

" At Medaberet Ivrit?"

"Ken." ..wait, how do I know Hebrew?

"You're Jewish."

"I can't be...I have strong desire to kill them all."

"You've been brainwashed, Ziva."

"Brainwashed?"

"You disappeared 7 yrs ago...what's the first thing you remember?"

"Hating."

"Don't you find that a little odd...no childhood memories?

Just hatred?"

"Why are you still trying to trick me!?"

" Ani Ohevet Otcha!"

"You love me?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"Because you're my wife."

"No, I'm not!" ...she takes her knife out

"Mossad"

Her mind wanders..."Ari?"

"I killed him."

"My brother? You killed my brother!?"

She lunges towards him...he moves out of the way...

"I will not hurt you, Ziva...unless I have, too."

"Why are you doing this to me!?"

"Remember!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" She throws her knife at Tony...

In one motion, Tony catches the knife, his right hand bleeding, the look on Ziva's face is that of lust...he pushes her back, her butt sits and she falls back on the autopsy table as Tony lays across her body...he brings the knife up to neck, pressing it against it...he then tosses it away, as he moves is hand to her face, covering it with his blood...wiping blood all over...

"This is my blood, the same blood that flows through our children."

Ziva licks her lips..."Our children?"

"How can you still deny it?"

"Make love to me."

"What?"

"Make...love...to...me."

Tony kisses her...his blood now all over his face...her hands move to his belt, unbuckling it...pulling his pants down...his hands move to her pants...he unbutton them...then unzips her...Tony stands and pulls her to the edge of the table...he continues kissing her..

A gunshot goes off...

Tony leans back...Ziva's gun is pointed right at his stomach...

He falls to the floor and she drops from the table and zips up her pants and buttons them...she kneels..."I'm sorry...I don't remember you."

She then walks off...towards the elevator...

Ziva steps off the elevator in the squad room..."Did I work at NCIS?"

Ziva crouches and moves cautiously through the bullpen area...she makes her way to the stairs and slowly climbs up them, her gun raised the whole time.

"Tony come back!" Tony runs out the door and Ziva looks at him...then lowers her weapon.

"Who are you?"

Abby runs out and see this..."NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Ziva lifts her gun and she fires as Abby jumped to the ground...she grabs Tony and moves quickly down the stairs..

"Gibbs, Ziva has Tony!"

Gibbs moves quickly to Abby...

"New trade, Gibbs...you for the boy." ...as she kneels behind him behind Tony's desk in the bullpen.

"Don't hurt him!"

Abby stands up..."My god, woman...your own child!?"

Ziva looks at Abby then at the boy..."Mommy?"

Ziva looks confused...she moves back, her back completely to the cubical wall, she pulls T into her body.

"Don't hurt him! Whatever you want, I'll do." Gibbs quickly moves down the stairs..

"Shoot yourself!"

"No, take me instead of the boy."

"Shoot yourself NOW!"

T starts to cry..."Why are you doing this mommy!?"

"I'm not your mommy!"

T continues to cry.

"Look at the pictures on that desk!"

Ziva looks at them and sees a picture of her with Tony, Sienna and the two boys."

"But h...how?"

She loosens the grip on T...but tightens just as fast...she cocks the gun...

"I dunno how you're doing this, but it's not gonna work."

Just then, Tony grabs Ziva hair with his left hand and yanks her backwards, her neck cracks as he grabs the gun with his right hand...Ziva lets go of T.

"Run T!"

"Daddy!"

Tony pulls her over the cubicle as she tries to fight him off, she knocks the gun away from his hand, but can't loosen the grip on his left hand…he slams her into a desk...she pulls a knife and slices Tony's leg...he lets go of her hair and takes a step back. She rises and wipes at Tony with the knife, Tony jumps back grabbing a keyboard and smacks her in the face with it. She comes back with a backhand stab which gets Tony in the chest, cutting his shirt.

Ziva looks at him stunned..."What do I have to do to kill your ass!?"

Tony opens his shirt the rest of the way showing he's wearing dragonskin.

Tony backs up..."Please, Ziva."

Gibbs grabs T, sending him back upstairs...and then pulls his gun...

"No, Gibbs...she's in there somewhere." ...holding his left palm out to him..

"Get out of the way, Tony...she's too dangerous."

"Tony!?" ...Abby looks up from the floor..."He's alive!"

Gibbs fires and Tony jumps towards Ziva, knocking her down.

"Tony!" ...as Gibbs runs to them...

Ziva continues to fight Tony off...she grabs one of Tony's arms and then puts her legs around his neck, squeezing tight...Tony picks her up and slams her on the top of the desk...she doesn't loosen her grip...he then picks her up and slams her on the cubicle wall, her back cracks and she loosens her grip...he picks her up again and slams her back on the desk, her legs fall to Tony side and Tony pulls back as Ziva grabs a gun and aims it at Tony, Tony knocks it away ..Tony pulls his knife and stabs Ziva in her right shoulder…"Don't move!" ...Ziva doesn't make a sound

Her head drops back and she rolls all her weight on her upper half, she grabs the handle of Tony's knife and yanks at it as she attempts to do a nip-up, as she's coming forward, she pulls the knife off, Tony grabs her by the throat and slams her back down into the desk...she drops the knife as her shoulder starts to bleed profusely.

Tony pulls a gun out of the back of his pants.

"You lied." ..as Ziva spits out some blood

"So, did you."

Tony aims the gun at Ziva's head…

"Shalom, Ziva." …as he fires the gun

Tony misses high...then presses the muzzle of his gun against the knife wound on her shoulder, seering it closed

Ziva looks up at Tony.."Toda"...as a tear falls from her eye and she passes out.

"I couldn't do it, Boss...I couldn't kill her."

Gibbs lowers his gun..."Tony, I think you're bleeding."

"What, my leg...it's just a scratch, nothing deep."

"No, your ass."

Tony rubs his ass and looks at his hand...it's covered in blood.

"I think I shot you in the ass, Tony."

"Ya think, Boss?"

BREAKING NEWS...from ZNN news...

"It's probably about us."

The woman on TV..."The 10 year manhunt for the 'Sander' killer is apparently over...while on a routine traffic stop, a Delaware police officer by the name of Max Carter came upon an unknown federal agent who had just killed the 'Sander' AKA Logan Cale, Cale a 35 year old out of work construction worker has plagued Washington D.C. and the surrounding areas for over 10 years, he was believed to have killed at least 42 women. Also at the scene was another body, that has yet to be identified."

"This is the video from the police officers patrol car's video camera of the unknown federal agent with Logan Cale and his car" ...they show Tony rises from the hood of the car, showing his badge, then looking over the dead bodies as the police officer goes back to his car...

"After further investigation, Max Carter searched Cale's trunk and found a body that was sanded down and later on with a warrant, they searched Cale's Delaware residence and found an unknown woman dead and another unknown woman barely alive...she was taken to Delaware Methodist, where she is said to be in critical condition."

Gibbs looks at Tony and Tony just shrugs...Gibbs turns off the TV..."What in the hell were you doing in Delaware!?"

"I'm still trying to figure that out, Boss. Only thing I remember was being set on fire by the president."

"Huh?"

"Exactly!"

McGee comes up the elevator..."Is it safe!?"

"McGee!" ...Abby runs down and hugs him..."We thought you were dead, too."

"Tony saved me."

"Quit showing off, Tony!"

Tony looks at Abby..."I'll try not to save anymore people today." ...Tony leans against the desk, then falls on the ground..."I'm too tired anyway."

Tony wakes up in a hospital...Gibbs is standing there...

"How you doing, Tony?"

"My ass hurts, Boss."

"You shouldn't have jumped in the way."

Tony looks up at his tray...

"Ooh, pudding!" ...he grabs it and eats it.

"What are you gonna do with your 50,000?"

Tony continues to eat his pudding..."What are you talking about?"

"There was a 100,000 dollar reward for capturing the 'Sander'...you and officer Carter are splitting it."

"How's 50,000 dollars worth of pudding sound?"

"Like you're an idiot."

"I'm back to normal, huh?"

"No, you're eating a jar of Vaseline with your fingers, Tony."

Tony spits it out..."Yuck!"

"Morphine'll do that to ya."

Gibbs walks away as Tony scrapes his tongue with a pillow.
