clever. i love the extra insight into characters that you create for your stories. tony's file cabinets, and the quirk with his handwriting are the things that create a 3-dimensional character. Love how Nunes reacts to Gibbs being his usual demanding self. Some interesting insight into exactly how twisted Shepard has become in this chapter as well. From Tony's notes, and her continuing mess-ups, it's obvious she hasn't been playing with a full deck for quite awhile. Does Ducky know what's wrong with her in this AU like he did in canon? I can't remember. I also appreciate here and in the previous chapter how the Houston team doesn't want Ziva in the know. I like that suspicious nature, because I'm still not convinced when it comes to canon that she was ever truly to be trusted.
