Ziva sat in the stairwell of the NCIS building looking at two pictures one was of her and her daughter 5 minutes after Grace Tatalia David had been born and the other was one of Ziva and one Leroy Jethro Gibbs. This was going to the first time Ziva would be seeing him in 14 years. Ziva hadn't seen Grace in 13 years either. The night after Grace was born she was kidnapped and never found. Ziva still believed that Grace was alive but she needed the help of her former lover to find her again. Ziva belived that Grace was now in America if she was still alive. She would have turned 13 in Febuary.
Ziva finally got the courage to get up and walk out onto the squad room. Gibbs wasn't in the room. The only person in his section was one Anthony Dinozzo. Ziva sat down in the desk chair beside of Tony and reached to her waist to pull out her knife and clean her fingernails out while she waited just to imitate Tony. Finally Gibbs showed up with Jenny. Instead of walking up to Gibbs like she wanted to she walked over to Jenny and they started a rapid conversation in Hebrew. Jenny summoned Ziva and Gibbs up to MTAC because it was the only sound proof room in the building. Jenny sent the two tech's out and she left Gibbs and Ziva alone. The first thing Gibbs did was hug Ziva after she nodded he could do so. After Gibbs pulled away she reached in her pocket a pulled out the picture of her and Grace then cleared her throat and said, after you left Jethro I found out I was pregnant and I tried to contact you but by the time found you my father sent me to live with my aunt Nettie until Grace was born I was cut off from the rest of the world and couldn't get away. Finally when she was born Jethro it was the best day of my life until she was taken. After I was ready to go back to work I was sent on long and deep undercover missions so I couldn't think about it but it's still hard. Then Ziva put her arms around Gibbs and started sobbing. Gibbs held Ziva close until her sobs stopped and she was just shaking. Then Ziva said, I think that the people that took Grace brought her to America and adopted her out to someone that would never know who she came from.
I need your help Jethro she isn't in Israel anymore because I have looked. I tracked her to America but then I lost trace of her at the boarder I won't be able to find her without you I don't have anything to go on except a eyewitness report from a good friend that was the stewardess on the flight they came on. They landed the plane in D.C. then got on a different flight to Huntington WV and that is where I lost it. Gibbs hugged Ziva close again and used his thumb to wipe the tears from her cheeks and wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her gently on the lips them lead her out of MTAC and into the Directors office.
Once inside Jenny's office Gibbs had Jenny call Tony, McGee, Ducky and Abby up to her office so they could help Ziva and Gibbs. When they got to Jenny's office they saw Ziva sitting in one of the chairs at the conference table and Gibbs kneeling beside her taking to her. The team was dumbstruck by Gibbs being nice to someone that he had just met or so they thought that Ziva and Gibbs had just met. Once everyone had taken a seat Ziva and Gibbs started explaining everything to them. Once they finished explaining the director told them that there team was off of rotationfor there next turn so they could have more time to find Grace.
