Not in a romantic way, but, you already feel close to her. I can see it in your eyes. On your face. You get this look when you talk about her, the same kind of look you get when you talk about Gibbs, Abby, Tony, or Ducky. You feel close to her already. That's good. It means she must be a good person if you've come to trust her so quickly. Thank you for telling me about Ziva. It helps me to understand the dynamic you guys have with her."<br/>
<br/>
"And it gives me a little info on her, in case she and I ever meet." She paused for a moment and then said, "Wait.. Wait. You said, Ziva David, right? Ari's handler? Before I was shot, I reached out to an old contact of mine and did a background on Ari. I know who Ziva is to him. And, I'm sure her taking him out to protect Gibbs, and me, in a sense, is what cemented things between her and Gibbs. </span></span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(77, 255, 166)"><span style="font-size: 15px">We both know how he feels about respect, about us, about his family."<br/>

"As for her and Tony, I definitely can't wait to see them interact together. From what you're saying, and what you're not saying, I get the feeling that more is going on between the two of them than meets the eye. Huh. If this Agent David can get to Tony in ways that other women couldn't, I think she might be good for him." She laughed when he talked about Ziva's driving. "She's got you a bit worried there, McGee?" </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Fredericka the Great"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(77, 255, 166)">Kate asked playfully. The playful mood went away a moment later.<br/>

"Why does it bother you if Ziva is friends with the Director? We all have friends from different places and walks of life, McGee.." She reminded him in what she hoped was a gentle way.</span></span></span>
