Summary: Post season 4 AU. Jeanne Benoit is dead. Ziva knows she should bring herself to feel sorry...
Jeanne Benoit is dead. Ziva knows she should bring herself to feel sorry, even just the natural, disinterested sorrow over an innocent woman killed before her time. But truthfully, Ziva doesn’t feel sorry at all. She sits at her desk, surreptitiously watching Tony watch the window, saying nothing. Jeanne was killed during the operation to capture La Grenouille, and Tony feels responsible. Ziva wants to point out that this is ridiculous, that he is dramatising, that with a father like La Grenouille, an early and unpleasant death was always on the cards for Jeanne.
She says nothing. Nobody has said anything, really. It’s all been a little sudden, everything seeming to happen at once, and the team is still coping with the fact that Tony, brash, in-your-face Tony, had been working undercover for nearly a year, and none of them any the wiser.
Ziva wonders if he had loved her. They had all assumed he had, when they didn’t know who Jeanne was, and hadn’t imagined that their relationship might not be all it seemed. Was she a mission, just a woman with an interesting father, a lead with legs? Or had she been a person, a personality, someone loved?
Tony sighs, and runs his finger round the rim of the Starbucks cup Gibbs had placed in front of him, a silent and always-politely-ignored gesture of his affection for the various team members. He hasn’t been himself. Not since she died.
Ziva knows she should feel sorry, but she just wishes none of them had ever heard of Jeanne Benoit.
