Tony had just finished locking Carlos in an interrogation room, when he saw Gibbs walk into the bullpen. He walked into the elevator, and gestured for Tony to follow him. Shutting off the power, Gibbs looked at Tony and glared.

"What the hell happened DiNozzo?!" Gibbs asked and Tony preceded to explain everything. When he was done, he waited for Gibbs to say something. Instead, he just smiled.

"Good work, DiNozzo. Now, I want to know what was going on in this physco's head. Unfortunately, I have to talk to the Director, so if you want to interrogate him?"

"It'll be a pleasure"

Tony walked into Interrogation room 3 and started the recorder.

"Carlos, I'll ask you one question: Why did you attack Ziva?"

Tony didn't know what he'd been expecting, but it definitely wasn't for Carlos to confess, at least not right away.

"To hurt you; all through the PD you got everything. If I was up for promotion, you took it. If I dated a girl, you stole her from me. I wanted you to know how it felt… just once", Carlos was barely whispering now. Tony couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for him. Without a word, he walked out.

Meanwhile, Gibbs walked into the Director's office. Without waiting for Leon to speak, he just started talking.

"What the hell, Leon! One of my agents is assaulted by somebody you put on my team. Did you even bother to look into his background?!"

"Gibbs, it was my fault, but I didn't think that the history between Fredrick's and DiNozzo would be a problem"

"You're damn right it was your fault! Next time you think about putting someone on my team without asking me, DON'T!"

Gibbs walked out and was met at the steps by Tony.

"Something I can help you with DiNozzo?"

"Yeah, I would like your blessing"

"My blessing?"

"It's traditional to ask the father, but as Ziva's father's in jail, and tried to kill her and you're the closest thing to her father-"

"Yes, DiNozzo, you can marry her, just promise you'll take care of her. You don't you're dead"

"Got it boss"

Tony walked down to Ziva's desk and got down on one knee, as he pulled out a black velvet box that contained the ring his father had given to his mother.

"Ziva David, I love you more than anyone else in the world, and I can't bear the thought of not having you in my life. Will you marry me?"

Tears welled up in Ziva's eyes as she kissed him.

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes Tony, I will marry you"

Tony slipped the ring on her finger and walked over to Gibbs.

"Gibbs, will you give me away at the altar?"

"Of course. It would be an honor"
