Chapter 1 : Human – Christina Perry
Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live for ever.
-Mahatma Gandhi-
His heart had broken. At this right moment one half of his body had left and all he can do was staying there.
Still as a rock.
Trapped in his own body with a soundless pain growing in is chest.
The Israelite house, Ziva's one, was burning in front of his eyes through the TV screen.
They all had stayed still; listening:
« The farm house who belonged to the former Mossad Director Eli David, had been attack in the middle of the night and is now burning deeply. We don't know yet if someone was living there or if someone was in the house before the fire started…. »
He knew. He knew that Ziva was living is the house, her childhood home.
He remembered the big windows.
The hot wind going through the curtains.
The olive hanging to the old tree.
Her curly hair falling on the back of her shirt.
Her lisps against his…
A voice was calling him, but he didn't want to get out of his head, out of his memories who keep him close to her.
« DiNozzo » the call was getting stronger.
« Yes boss ».
« When was the last time you had news from Ziva ? »
They all new: She had decided to stay in Israel, to go back to the begging and start to accept and, why not, understand how her life had changed, and what her life would have been if she was not born at Be'er Sheva on the 12 of November 1982.
But maybe a month later, or a year….
Everybody had accepted to let her go, do her own « things », her own way.
But no one had given up on her.
Not yet at least….
But no one either had tried to call her, or « emailed » her. They had just let her free until she was ready to come back to them.
But not Tony, not after their kiss.
So he closed his eyes, felt the warmth of her body against his and heard the silence promise they have done to each over : He will never let her go…
« DiNozzo? »
« Last week, she had send me a picture of the sunset, telling me not to worry because she was coming close to peace… »
« Did she lives in the house? » interrupt Mcgee.
And suddenly it came back to him: the burning house… and all the sudent the warm of her body left him.
Only the cold remained; as a ghost.
« Yes she does, but I can't tell you if the was here at the moment…».
They all knew that there was a high chance for her to be in the house because the fire had taken place in the middle of the night… How can't she be inside her home at this time ?
« Mcgee, call the Mossad I want to know everything they know, DiNozzo, call her, email her, send a bird if you have to but I want to know where she is. And I want to know everything she has done in the last 2 days, I am going to talk to Vance ».
…
He did was he had been told to.
He called her, so many time that he can't even remember, emailed her, and pray… He found his self praying a God he never believed into, but whatever, she was the one he has to save; so he started praying her God, paying for her safety and her life…
His hand was rubbing Ziva necklace unconsciously, still carefully hide in his pocket, while his mind was running free once again, starring at the empty desk in front of him.
The office had been Kate's one. He had been so mad when Ziva take it at first. She was stealing it from Kate!
But anyway, overtime he closed his eyes and all he saw, all he was able to remember is her; smiling wildly, shinning…
For a second he asked himself: what if Kate never died ? Where Ziva might be? Probably dead, somewhere between two countries and between two missions.
So that was it? After everything she had been through? After everyone she had fight against?
After leaving Mossad … 3 times.
Being held hostage for three months in the middle of nowhere.
Becoming an American civilian.
An official NCIS agent.
Going back to Israel.
Founding peace …She dies? In her own house? In her own bed? Sleeping?
How can it be possible ? How a Mossad officer, train as she is, can't see that coming ? That was unthinkable!
And maybe …
What if …
Something light up in him. What if she is not dead and everybody give up on her? What if the attack on the house was a warning or a call for help?
So he rose from his chair, and ran is way up to Vance's office.
…
« So you think that Mossad will not know about …. This … a …« weird theory »? »
« This is not weird! How many peoples want her dead? »
« Thousand … That is why Agent DiNozzo …. »
« No! You don't get it! She had stayed alive all this years, in the worst places of the world, and you think she will not cover her own back? Boss! Back me up on this one, please! »
« He is not wrong Vance. She must have known that something was up»
« She is alone and she might hide her self! I need to go there! I need to found her. »
« The last time agent DiNozzo you had been away for months…. Maybe it's a message, a way to tell you to let her go… »
« And maybe she is in danger, and she is going to die because you don't listen to me! »
« Maybe she is already dead in her own house... Tony I know it's hard on you, but … »
« Yes it's hard! I have the worst pain of the world in my chest right now, I want to scream, and to yell. And I wonder why you don't ! Right ? She is a part of this family and no one is mad! What is wrong with all of you ? »
His screams had brought all of them co-worker to director Vance's door.
« DiNozzo, calm down. »
« No I won't Boss ! She was like a daughter to you ! Like a sister to Mcgee and Abby ! Why does no one is sad ? Or angry ? »
Mcgee finally decided to come in. « Tony it breaks our heart too; we just don't express it the same way… »
In two big steps Tony had gotten his way in front of Mcgee « Yes ! Or maybe you have already give up on her ? »
He was about to keep going but Vance stopped him, and said : « But maybe it is different for you Agent DiNozzo ? »
He turned is self abruptly « What do you mean director ? »
« I mean that maybe the agent David was more for you than for the others ? »
The silence was heavy. Everybody was looking at DiNozzo.
Abby had slowly taken Gibbs hand, waiting for the bomb to blow.
The very special agent Antony DiNozzo was boiling inside.
How can he have to explain it self the day that 90 % of the team think she is dead, when the only thing he was asking is to go found her … He was so mad ….
« Yes ! We are more ! She is my soulmate, the over half of myself, the better part ! She is the one I am in admiration with; for her strength, her smiley, the ways she knows, she feels peoples, the way she had survived to the begging of her life, the way she had handled all the difficulties …. She is my hero … She is the person I will never let go ! »
No one had dared to say a thing after him. The energy that was coming from his body was massive and burning.
And for a second they all remembered her and the way they use to feel toward her.
She can't be gone…
« She is my family » said Tony, « And I won't let her down … »
Vance come closer to him, scanning his face.
His featuring was deep and a tiny tear, he had try to hold back so hard, was running down his cheek.
« Pack your bag, you are on the next fly to Tel Aviv ».
