CHAPTER FIVE: Ziva's Loss
It's a Sad Elevator Day
Ding …
"McGee!"
"Hey Abbs."
My Abby runs into me and jumps McGee … jumps him! I get that he's been away, but … geesh … okay, I'm jealous.
McGee hits my close button, you know … the one with the arrows both pointing in at each other. He better not kiss her … I may just short circuit.
"McGee, what did you do that for?"
"We need to talk."
McGee then does something he's never done before … he hit's my stop button. This better be a conference! If he makes a move on my Abby … I'll … I'll … electrocute him … that's what I'll do!
"What's up Tim?"
Tim? She called him Tim? Did I miss something?
"It's Rifkin … he's no good … at least, he's not like us and I think he's sleeping with Ziva."
"Tony knows … if that's what you're getting at."
"He knows!?"
"She lied to him and he wanted to believe her, but Michael is back in D.C. Tony saw them together."
"Together?"
"Together."
"Oh God … poor Tony. How is he?"
"You know Tony … he's acting like they never were together … like she never mattered to him."
"Is he … is he drinking again?"
"No … not over Ziva … never over Ziva. It's her loss Tim."
"Yeah … her loss."
Then he hugs my Abby … I can't blame him … they're both hurting for Tony. If I could cry … I would be a giant shaft of rust.
Ding …
Tony. He looks like he's been kicked in the gut. Right now … I don't like Ziva. Please don't tell her … do you know what she can do to an elevator with a paperclip? I don't really, but I'm sure it's very very bad.
Someone must have hit my button as soon as my doors closed because I have to open up again … Ziva! Tony sees her and hit's the very same button that McGee hit several minutes earlier … the close button. She didn't or shall I say … couldn't enter. As I began my ascend, Tony leans on my doors and places his hands on me … he whispers … "Ziva." Then he bangs his head over and over and over again against my door. Just as we are about to reach his floor … he steps back, straightens his jacket, fixes his hair and puts that Tony face on … you know the one I mean … "I'm Tony DiNozzo, nothing bothers me!" That look. Ya know … he's a cool cat … it really is Ziva's loss.
Thank you for reading ... sorry about that said tone of the elevator ... he's reflecting my mood about "Tiva!" Reviews appreciated, but not required ... Thank you, Judy
