Dear Diary,

Today is the 25th of May, 2004 and I was taken hostage again. By the same man.

The things that I found out makes me question the relations between our government agencies. If they can't communicate with each other thing like what happened today happens.

See, this is what happens when Gibbs and Fornell don't talk.

I found out his name was Ari, an agent of the Israeli Mossad. Here to protect the country, this somehow involved taking me hostage and kidnapping me. Twice.

This morning, I just thought I'd be having a normal day at work. Then Gibbs found me at the coffee shop and started to ask me about…him. He asked me about what happened down in Autopsy a few months ago and why I didn't stab…Ari when I had the chance.

The fact is I couldn't. I looked into his eyes and I knew that he wasn't there to kill us. They were kind eyes.

After I had lunch with Ducky and DiNozzo I saw those eyes again. And then I was taken.

I don't know how to feel about what happened today, to be honest I was scared at first. Not knowing where I was going, or even if I was going to live through it or not.

At least I got to punch that bastard Bassam.

Then Ari took me inside this large country house and we were alone. I didn't know at this point that he wasn't you know, evil, so I was nervous.

He tried to ice my lip, but I wouldn't let that bastard help me. I needed to remind myself that I had at least some control of what was happening.

He made me call Gibbs and lie to him. Something I have never done before. And making Gibbs believe I was fine and not in the hands of a terrorist organisation scared me more than anything else.

Ari had taken me outside with a woman of Hamas called Marta and that was when I figured out that they wanted to kill the President.

When Ari killed Marta and told me he was Mossad I think that made me realize that this was real and not just a bad nightmare I was having. Ari being one of the good guys confused me. A double agent wouldn't do the things that this man has done.

But he told me to call the Secret Service to inform them of what Hamas had planned.

While I was on the phone he stared at me as if he was trying to figure something out, because of the look I almost forgot about what I was saying.

He drove me by himself home to my apartment about an hour ago. On the long drive he gave me back my gun and badge, which I held so tight in my hands that they still hurt. He left without a word. Leaving me standing alone on the sidewalk, still clutching my things.

I think I'll take a few days off work to try and figure some things out. I don't think I could handle any cases…or DiNozzo right now.

I can't help but wonder if Ari will come back. I don't think I could handle another kidnapping. Who knows, maybe he'll come back and not kill anyone.

Well, I'll just have to see how things work out.
