"Who are you?"
"Mossad."
The name of the Israeli national intelligence agency wasn't foreign to Special Agent Sam Hanna, in fact, he still had quite a few contacts that he could call up to verify Michael Rivkin's identity. As he quickly brainstormed a potential name, Rivkin surprised them by supplying one of his own, "Ziva David."
Now, that was a name he hadn't been expecting.
Though there were scant personal details about the Director of Mossad, it was common enough knowledge that Eli David had a daughter, who was a Mossad operative.
Some years ago, Sam was part of an operative to infiltrate a sex trade ring in Damascus. When he and his team descended on the hideout, they managed to rescue half a dozen survivors, including one who wore the Star of David around her neck. He didn't know her name at the time, but when he asked what happened, she paralyzed him with her bistre eyes and said, "I won't let them capture me alive."
It was only afterwards that he knew ... and over time, he heard tales of clandestine missions in remote nowheres that had left only destruction and no prisoners. Ziva David had amassed a reputation of not leaving loose ends to be untangled.
But, there was one story that he figured was the stuff of legends: he doubted that anyone can kill a person 18 different ways with a paperclip.
