NCIS ~ I Will Love You Thru Everything

chapter 7 :-)

Tony gulped. "What the heck, Dinozzio? It shouldn't take you this long just to go down and check everything!" Gibbs said. Tony realized with relief that Gibbs thought they had already gone down to the lab and were coming back. "Right, boss. But Ziva thought she should check everything, not just the computers." Gibbs relaxed. "Alright," he grumbled. "I'm heading out to grab some paperwork from the storage facility. I'll be back in 15 minutes. Try to update the systems while I'm gone."

Ziva and Tony nodded quickly. They stepped past Gibbs and practicallly ran towards their desks. Tony glanced hopefully at Ziva, hoping she would finish what she started saying earlier, but the expression on her face revealed nothing. Tony inwardly sighed, but he was a patient guy. And for Ziva he would wait as long as she needed, since he knew she had been hurt in the past and might need to take this slowly.

After a few minutes of typing idly, Ziva got up to use the restroom. She was unaware that Tony followed her. As she rounded the corner behind the stairs (an area mostly secluded) she noticed his presence behind her. Ziva kept quiet until she had entered the restroom and made sure no one was in there.
