A/N- Just finished watching Ep 1 thank-you downloading! I noticed two things- 1. Sean Murray needs to gain some weight, seriously I just want to sit him down at a nice Thanksgiving dinner and say 'It's okay Sean, we liked you pudgy' 2. Gibbs this is the second time Gibbs has arranged for one sibling to kill the other, albeit he was unaware of the David/Haswari tie but this is still the second time he has watched a murdering sibling bleed all over the floor.
And here I go (Chapter 8 of Forced Allies will be up soon I promise)
Ziva studied the gunshot wounds that desecrated Paloma Reynosa's beautiful form. She watched the blood stain the white linen top and judged how long it would take for her to die,
"I will call an ambulance" she informed Gibbs, spinning back out into the chill night, where the stars were dimmed by the blazing head lights and the cicadas were drowned out by the hum of several agents talking at once.
"One" she whispered to herself, "Two"
Tony approached her, dust on his jacket, eagerness in his eyes, she held up a hand to silence him as he opened his mouth,
"Three"
She took the cell phone handed to her and pressed the three numbers in quick succession,
"Emergency," a bored voice intoned "Do you need Police, Fire Department or an Ambulance"
"Ambulance" her voice was barely above a whisper and she had to clear her throat before relaying the injuries and location. She was promised that an ambulance would be there in three minutes.
By the time she hung up the phone and turned to Tony, she knew it was already too late. Paloma needed medical care right this second or els-
The vital second had passed. She was lying bleeding on a cold, dusty living room floor. Her brother imprisoned by metal and incarcerated by shock and guilt, her nemesis watching silently with an air of bitter satisfaction. Neither would staunch the blood flowing from her torn skin or press their hands against her warm flesh.
When she heard the sirens wail in the distance, she knew she was dead.
Her brother was dragged sobbing from her body, her blood still on his face. His grief ripping through the night and penetrating Ziva's soul.
Wonder Twins-Tony had called them. Activated by each other's touch, their father lost to his line of work, their lives shaped for them. All they had ever known was fighting and death.
She sighed and closed her eyes. In the back of her mind, she could hear her brother's laughter.
Of course Ari found the situation amusing. A sister murdered by a brother? Arranged by a Mossad operative, it was the darkest of comedic plays, where the stage was forever blanketed in darkness and shadows to represent the twisted ideals of the characters within.
"Well done" Gibbs whispered as he trotted down the stairs and Ziva opened her eyes to remember another time, when another grey haired man had congratulated her on her effort.
'Now' Ari promised her between his roars of laughter, 'Now you are home'
A/N- I think NCIS was overplaying it a bit by having both Tony and Ziva's fathers present in the episode, you know who I'd like to meet Mama David, or at least find out what happened to Ziva's mother, better still have her be alive, a lot like Eli and meet Tony.
