"Help, Help." The small voice was heard coming from a small cave in the cliffs of Hafia beach. A young girl with waist lenght curly brown hair and deep brown eyes ran towards the voice. Upon entering the caves she navigated her way through the maze of tunnels until she reached the voice. It came from a small sandy haired boy with emerald green eyes. "Hello. What are you doing down here?" She said.
"I don't speak Hebrew. I'm here on holiday." The boy replied.
"Well then I asked what you are doing down here."
"I got lost. My name is Timothy McGee. Me and my sister were playing hide and seek and I ran in here to hide when I got lost."
"My name is Ziva David. Why don't we see if we can get you back to your family." Ziva said with humour evident in her voice. Tim nodded and went after her. While they were walking Tim was amazed with the ease that she walked through the cave with.
"So Tim, Where do you live?" Ziva asked looking at him.
"At the moment Norfolk. My dads in the navy so we move around a lot. My mum looks after us. What about you?"
"I live in Tel-Aviv. My Dad is the deputy director of Mossad and my mum died when I was 4."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. It was not your fault. But I will tell you that you should cherish the ones you love. You don't know when your time with them may be the last." By that time they had reached the beach. "Can you see your family here?" Tim looked aroud at all the family and replied sadly "No"
"Oh." She turned to the side slightly and yelled "ARI" An older boy turned and rean over to them as Ziva continued "This is Tim McGee. I found him in the caves and his family aren't here. He's from America." The boy turned to Tim and said "Hello, I'm Ari."
"Hi."
"I think I heard some people walk down the beach yelling your name. They seem worried. We should try to catch up with them." Tim nodded and walked after Ari with Ziva standing next to him.
"God It's hot." Tim said making Ziva smirk "You get used to it." They were walking for what seemed like ages when Tim could hear his mother call his name. He shouted back "MOM." A woman with brown hair and eyes turned around and ran towards them. When she reached them she pulled Tim into a massive hug. She turned to Ziva and Ari and said "Thank you. Where did you find him"
"I found him in the cave in the cliff. They are very easy to get lost in if you don't know them." She turned to Tim "I hope you are ok. Don't forget what I said."
"I won't, thank you and I truley am sorry about your mom." Ziva smiled and walked back with Ari. Tim's mother looked at him and asked "What did she tell you?" Tim smiled sadly before answering "To cherish the ones you love. I love you Mom."
"I love you to Tim, Lets go home." With that Tim and his mother walked down the beach. Neither Tim nor Ziva knew that they would meet each other again.
