Curtain Line Past of Tony/Ziva, moving into Tony/Gibbs Major spoilers for "Aliyah" In fact, I'm not sure the story makes sense without reading it. Sequel to Manipulation in Five Acts . Summary: ...Cary Grant. Curtain Line: The final line of a scene or act which gives the cue for the curtain to come down.  Gibbs is giving the cue for Tony to bring the curtain down on this relationship!  

Manipulation in Five Acts Het? Preslash? Pre-slashy het? Um... this piece is sexually confused. So is Tony. Ziva/Tony is most obvious, but you don't have to squint very hard to read this as Gibbs/Tony...of just one person for just one night. Tonight, he couldn't convince himself that he cared enough to bother. Ignoring the hopeful and disappointed looks behind him, Gibbs headed for the exit alone.
