CHAPTER 9:
"There you go" Abby said putting the finishing touches to the new and geek proofed Ziva
"Oh my god!" Ziva said looking at her reflection in the glass door
"That has got to be the funniest thing I have ever seen" Tony said trying to hold back laughter
"One word DiNozzo and your going as her lap dog" Gibbs said patting her shoulder and walking out of the lab
"I look like a nerd" Ziva said feeling her outfit and reading the ‘I heart nerds' Spongebob square pants t-shirt and quivering a little "I thought the other outfit was bad" she said turning to Abby and giving a little smile
"You will do great" Abby said as Tony and Ziva left the lab
Ziva entered a huge hall full of people half of them were your average geeks and nerds the other half were in smart suits and had money basically falling at their feet. Ziva mingled for a few minutes chatting to a few people whilst hunting for the killer hoping that if given the chance would take him down in a heart beat.
She stopped in her tracks when she saw him, he had changed a little but she knew it was him, he was wearing a smart suit and glasses but had the cold eyes she remembered. She slowly made her way through the crowd and settled into a conversation with a small group of guys who had thick rimmed glasses and braces. She could not help but stare, she had not felt this uncomfortable since being stuck in a box with Tony. One of the guys was trying to make a pass at her and her mossad training kicked in.
"Remover your hand now or lose it" Ziva said grabbing his hand and twisting it
"Ow!" he said as she finally let go "You are as strong as the new program for the ITCA with a little fire" He said and the other guys laughed
"A girl has got to be prepared or her motherboard could get busted" Ziva said and laughed out loud causing the whole room to go silent as she let out a little snort and adjusted her glasses.
The killer had been talking to the same girl for over an hour and Ziva was getting impatient, she had tried to start a conversation with them but as she did not have the whole geek talk down she found it difficult to understand anything they were saying. Something about local processes, bugs, support programs and ghz's and she knew as much about that as Tony does about having a serious relationship. This made her giggle a little bit and earned her a small stare from the girl which she shot back a evil look.
"Ziva its time, now or never" Gibbs said talking into her ear
"I know, I need a little help" Ziva said quietly back
"We will bring in back up" Gibs said
"No, I can do it" Ziva said walking up to another guy in a suit and flirting a little
"Hello there miss, can I help you?" The tall slim man asked looking at Ziva and smiling
"I just can't seem to find a decent guy in here, they all want one thing" Ziva said looking innocent
"Well you have found one" He said laughing "Come and meet my associates" he said walking over to the killer and his next conquest
"How about we go somewhere private?" He said with a smirk
"Lets go" Ziva said practically launching on him
"Take care of the lady for me" The killer said to his associate as he lead Ziva to the private back room
"Federal agents, drop your weapon" Tony shouted as they entered the room and the killer tried to run but was stopped by Ziva putting out her foot
"How could you, you bitch?" The killer shouted at Ziva as Tony cuffed him
"I may not talk geek but I can sure look like it" Ziva said smiling and removing her hair clip letting her hair fall down her back.
