Abby sat staring at the screen. It just didn't make sense! This was a private job undertaken at the request of Jenny, and yet everything she'd asked of her… Well, it just didn't add up.
She stared at the samples, and back to the screen. She didn't want to know how Jenny had gotten them, or whether A'idah had suffered to give it to them.
A'idah was a young girl, perhaps 16 or 17, who'd come to America on a legal visa. Unfortunately she was here at the bequest of Al-Qaida. Upon interrogation, it turned out that she was trying to escape the organisation, she'd been forced into it at 5 years old. She would not say anymore.
In a strange turn of events, Jenny had Ziva interrogate the girl under the pseudonym Dinah. Abby had been asked to observe, for reasons unknown to her, and all she had seen was two women speaking very fast and very angry Arabic. Once Ziva had accidentally slipped into Hebrew and, seemingly unknowingly, the other woman had replied in Hebrew. That was when A'idah refused to speak anymore.
But these blood results claimed that what A'idah had reportedly told Ziva was not true. She had said the her father, a Muslim 'freedom fighter' had been killed by a misdirected Qassam rocket- and A'idah had survived in the basement below her house. She stayed there, screaming for her Aba- her dad- until a band of Al-Qaida operatives had rescued her.
And yet, the science never lied. So who did? Ziva, the Mossad Officer, Daughter of Eli David? Or A'idah, Al-Qaida runaway?
Neither of them had exhibited signs of lying. Was it possible that they could both be telling the truth, and the science was wrong?
Or could one of them be lying without knowing?
It didn't matter, though, as Abby realised she had a more pressing issue. She had promised Jenny that she wouold tell nobody what she discovered during this investigation, and yet… Ziva had a personal interest here. It wasn't fair to keep this from her.
