A/N: I own nothing.
I got this idea when watching 'Probie' on my crappy internet. And a report on Aussie soldiers and I read a book about Israel and the translations of a HaDag Nachash song ooh and Paradise now a movie. Italics are flashbacks. I must digress and return to studying.
It Happened So Fast
A knock on the door startled McGee. "Tony I said no" he shouted. The door opened and Ziva stood in the doorway clutching a dish with tin foil on top.
"Ziva" McGee said. Ziva walked through balancing the dish on her knee.
"You hungry?" Ziva asked. McGee stood startled and silent.
"I guess" he said.
"It is only something quick but it is still warm" Ziva said fussing over the dish.
"What are you doing here?" McGee asked. It came out a lot more rudely than he meant it to yet Ziva showed no external signs of offence.
"I thought you may be hungry" Ziva said. Ziva sat down pulling white wine with Hebrew lettering out. " or in need of this"
The alcohol overtook McGee quickly.
"You know it's ok for you" He slurred. "You shoot terrorists and bad guys"
"Not always, Tim" Ziva said sadly.
Nineteen year old stood Ziva stood at the check point in her Olive uniform and a gun on her side. The solider next to her nudged her.
"Your turn" he said as a car drove up to the point. Ziva despised this part of the army.
"Remember to be on alert" Another also male solider declared. Two soldiers had been blown up at a check point 40 miles north just a week previous. Ziva watched as the car continued to speed closer.
"Stop! Halt!" Ziva screamed in every language she knew. The car continued to speed Ziva did as had been instructed she opened fire. Three bullets were fired. She walked to the car. She expected to find three terrorists well dressed with wires attached. She found a child with a sniper bullet in her tiny forehead and a pregnant woman taking her last gulp of breath in between tears and the soft hum of prayer in Arabic.
Ziva wiped a tear from her face. "I must go" Ziva said.
" What happened" McGee said.
" I got moved" Ziva said.
"Your commander owes me a favor" Eli told Ziva as the walked around the military base. "This will all be fixed" Ziva looked at her father. Eli David had an answer for everything a favor or friend that could be called in. It could all be fixed. It would be Tali who on her next leave would remind her she killed two well technically three people and Ari who would remind her they were Arabs.
Ziva straightened her uniform.
"Shalom Private David welcome to black ops" An elder male solider declared. This would be where Ziva would serve the remaining 11 months and 23 days of her military service before joining the mossad.
She closed the door on McGee. He didn't have to know the last part. It all just happened so fast.
