Please review...
"Where's Michy?" Amanda asked.
Gibbs took her over to the window, though he knew Ziva and Tony were watching them. He produced a badge and handed it to the small girl. "Michy would've wanted you too have this." Amanda knew Michelle was dead.
From only metres away, Ziva's eyes filled with tears; tears for Amanda, who had been through so much, kidnap, starvation and the death of her sister, tears for Agent Michelle Lee, who had died trying to save her, and tears for her past, memories she could never erase. Tony looked over, sympathetically, but saw Ziva's tears, something she would never have wanted him too witness. She blinked; a trail of moisture traced her cheek. She turned and left, some memories she needed to deal with alone, and this was one of them.
Ziva's mother had died when Ziva was very young, only a few years older than Amanda. Her father had never been a compassionate man, and she felt so alone. She remembered going to the hospital, only minutes after her mother had passed away. She remembered how she was so overcome with sorrow that she didn't even want to look at her mother or family. She also remembered, however, what had happened when they had finally left the hospital. Her father took her by the shoulders in the car park and did the only nice thing Ziva could ever remember him doing.
"My daughter," Eli David knelt down to Ziva's level and handed small package containing her mother's Star of David pendant on its gold chain. "Your mother always had a dream to see you wear this. Make our family proud when you wear it and think of her always."
"Yes, father."Ziva understood these words and never forget them.
Ziva looked at the necklace now, feeling it warm on her skin, remembering those words and how she always wished her father would be kinder to her. She was so alone in this foreign country, but she could not go home. There was no where else for her to go.
