Gainsay
“What’s happening, Gibbs?” Ziva asked confused.
“It’s over.” Gibbs glared.
“What are you talking about? Is DiNozzo behind this?” Ziva questioned further, completely confused as to what was going on.
“Do not speak his name. DiNozzo is the most loyal, honest, and hardworking agent I’ve ever had. You do not have the right to gainsay his actions when yours are so much worse.” Gibbs harshly pointed at the boxes sitting on her desk, indicating that she should start packing.
“What am I being blamed for?” Ziva queried.
“Only the truth. You did conspire with Ari to kill Kate just so that you could get a spot on my team, after all.” Gibbs snarked.
“You have no proof,” Ziva protested.
“Don’t I?” Gibbs asked dangerously.
“You have nothing on me,” Ziva stated confidently.
“Oh, you have no idea what I know. You only have yourself to blame for this debacle. Now get packing. I want you gone tonight. The sight of you disgusts me.” Gibbs growled. He couldn’t believe he had ever considered her a part of the team. Tony had tried to warn him, but he hadn’t listened until it was too late. He only hoped this action would prevent Tony from leaving his team for good.
