Alright, new chapter. I don't really like it that much, but I felt like I had to update. It's a little bit of a filler. I just need to get back into it, since I've been gone for a while. I hope you like it. Please remember to R&R (I still go crazy without them).

What had happened? All she remembered was talking to Abby while driving and then nothing. Why couldn't she remember all the details? She was after all a trained Mossad officer, well ex-Mossad. There had to be something more to this than just a random accident on the road. Ziva was drifting further into thought as she stared out of the window in her apartment. The emotions running through her head clearly visible on her face. She felt a presence, but chose to ignore it... Or she thought she did.

A hand gently touched her shoulder, but that was enough to set her off. Next thing she knew, her partner was laying flat on the floor, "Zi, I think I broke something" came his strained voice.

"Uh, sorry," she said distracted, helping him get up.

Once he regained composure, he asked if she was okay.

"Fine. What are you doing here?"

"protection detail."

"I don't need it." she stared out the window once again lost in thought. Why would they think she needed protection? She was absolutely fine. No one was trying to kill them. She was trying to convince herself that it was just an accident. But from what Gibbs had told her it was nothing of the sort.

"Ziva? Earth to Ziva!"

"what?" she turned around angry for no reason at all.

"geez, Zi. I was telling you that Gibbs sent me over here, and I can't leave until either he or McGee come by. So you better go get some sleep."

"I don't need it."

"yes you do."

"no I don't. I slept enough at the hospital."

"Zi, you and I both know that's not really sleep that you got."

He was right. Her eyes were not really complying with her anymore. Her eyelids were heavy but she denied herself sleep. She knew what would happen if she fell asleep.

He looked deep into her eyes, worried. He made her at least sit down, "you look terrible Zi."

"why does that concern you?"

"why does that concern me?" he said laughing in disbelief. "because you're my partner. You were in a car wreck, and you haven't slept since yesterday afternoon. It's been more than a day now"

"I had to work I didn't need sleep."

"yes you do."

"again!"

"you do."

"no I don't," she still argued as she was dozing off on the couch where she had sat not even a minute earlier.

Five minutes later she was out cold. Tony picked her up off the couch and carried her to her bed. Tucked her in and made his way out to the couch where he would spend the night.
