Why this must be read: When Gibbs walks into the office on Monday, he only finds McGee. I readily admit that my weakness with fic is style. As long as it's stylish, I can overlook pretty much everything (more or less *g*). This is sparse and beautifully structured, as well as being a brilliant insight into Ziva's character.
They fly to Israel in the back of a cargo jet. It isn't the first time for either of them so Tony just leans back against the plane wall, and tries not imagine he can feel the sky pressing in from the outside, or to remember Kate's smile that first time they dove towards the ground.
Ziva sits across from him, hands clasped loosely between her legs. She says nothing and Tony lets her have her silence for now. It isn't easy, and he has to bite his lip the whole way there, just to keep himself from saying all of those things that will do no good at all.
He had spent two hours sitting in his car across from Gibb's house before he'd driven to meet her at the airfield. One of the streetlights had burnt out and Tony had parked beneath it, head pressed against the steering wheel as he talked himself out of going inside.
Gibbs would have stopped him, Tony's almost sure of that. He wouldn't have been able to stop Ziva, but Tony knows that had Gibbs ordered him to, he would have stayed.
Anyway Gibbs has taught him well, and that's rule eighteen. Never ask permission if you don't want to be told no.
