"Hey Jimmy". Tony says through the computer as he has just called his friend for their monthly Fortnite session from his and now Ziva's Parisan study.
"Hey Tony".
"Now Palmer before we start playing there's something I want to talk to you about. Don't worry I'm not going to use your Black Lung code name or make you be a confidant for me again well not at the moment anyway"
"Well what is it?".
"It's about Ziva".
"Ziva. How's she settling in? How are you doing with her being back in your life?".
"Yeah she's adjusting I mean I guess we are adjusting but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about".
"Ok Tony, what is it?". Jimmy asks his friend still clueless to what he wants to talk to him about.
"I could sense you didn't know what to say to me on our last monthly Fortnite session and I can get why this whole situation with Ziva being alive and not really dead hasn't being easy in fact it's being messy and complicated so basically Palmer what I am saying is I can understand why you didn't know what to say and I wish Ziva just told you guys that I knew about her being alive".
"I appreciate you understanding Tony I really do and I know that must have being a such tough secret to keep all these years".
"One of the toughest secrets I've ever had to keep that's for sure".
"There were so many times where I just wanted to pick up my phone and call you,Gibbs or McGee but I knew I couldn't". Tony informs his friend.
"I can understand that believe me".
"Oh and Palmer thank you for taking her to the airport".
"Of course Tony I would do anything to make my best friend happy". Jimmy tells his friend getting slightly emotional.
