Ziva walked into NCIS on Thursday morning and found Tony wandering around the security check area.
"Tony, what are you waiting for?" asked Ziva.
"Actually, you," replied Tony. He was smiling.
"Why me?"
"I want to tell you something Ziva. It's going to have to wait though."
"What's going to have to wait DiNozzo?" asked Gibbs as he walked up.
"Nothing Boss."
The three of them walked up to the squad room together, Ziva giving Tony a curious look. As they sat down at their desks to continue on a case, Ziva caught Tony giving her a look that could only be described as fascination.
TWO HOURS LATER
"Where is McGee?" asked Tony.
"At a conference in Norfolk. Why?" asked Ziva.
"I need his computer skills."
"I'll do it. McGee showed me how to hack into computers once before."
Tony and Ziva were at their victim, a naval petty officer's, house. Ziva sat at the computer and, after a few minutes, had managed to find the right password.
"Here you go Tony," said Ziva as she moved away from the computer.
"Thanks Ziva," replied Tony. "Are you busy tonight?"
"No, why?"
"Do you want to go out for a drink or...or something?"
"Are you asking me out on a date or as friends?"
"A...a date."
"Oh Tony. You're so sweet. Of course I'll go out with you."
