Author´s Note

Story is based on a newsarticle in my local newspaper. The source of the article is Wiesenthal Centre Jeruzalem. The names on the Nazi list is the list as it currently still exists. They are not fictional, however the names of the people I use are just like the NCIS characters fictional. I am using some Hebrew in this story, it´s italicized. Since I do not own a keyboard with Hebrew characters the words are sometimes written in the only way I could, so I went with short Hebrew sentences and then switch to English.

History

His shoes were making a awful sound running through the Wiesenthal Centre in Jeruzalem. Aaron Steiner was nervous when he knocked on the door of his surperior´s office. ´Chaim, we've got him, oh my god we've got him, they send us a current photo of him, and I am sure it's him´

Chaim Liebermann turned around ´calm down Aaron, whom do we have´

´Dr.Aribert Heim, the SS doctor, our current number 1 on the Nazi list´

Chaim stared at Aaron ´are you sure´ he looked intensely at the photo, ´we need to get more pictures, more evidence and a positive ID on him before we do anything else, first we need to contact Mossad and see if they can and will help us´

Ziva woke up from the noice of her phone ´David´ She listen to the person on the other side of the phone without interrupting him even once. ´ken,beseder´ (yes, good)

Ziva couldn't sleep anymore and decided to go to work, when she arrived at NCIS it was 05.00, and there was no one present at the time other then a mad scientist in the basement.

After Ziva had given Abby her Caf-Pow she decided to wait for Director Shepard in her office, she knew she was taking a big risk with that because even do they were good friends, there are some things you just don't do and breaking into a directors office wasn´t one of those things.

When Jenny Shepard entered her office around 08.00 she saw Ziva staring out the window. Couldn´t you have waited until I opened up my office with my own keys. Ziva turned around. Jenny immediately knew something was up. I have to leave NCIS

Jenny proceeded to her desk why

´Mossad contacted me and told me that I have to take this assignment, and I tend to agree

what assignment Ziva turned around gave Jenny a folder, which Jenny took a brief look at. they are not sure yet

No, that´s were I come in, they need more evidence, better photo´s and a DNA sample

why you

it´s in Chile, my Spanish is perfect and I know the area

Jenny looked up, why do you want to take this job so badly

my aunt Netty was used by him, it´s personal

Does Gibbs know

No, and I don´t have the time to tell him, my plane leaves at 09.30, I actually should be going right now

can I tell the team anything

No, you can tell Gibbs, but that is about it, the less they know the better it is

Will you be coming back

If you and Gibbs still have me

Ziva, be careful

I always am, Jenny , I always am

Jenny laughed yeah, right ´

When Gibbs entered the bullpen he was surprised not to see Ziva sitting there, she normally was the first one in but apparently not today. He was going through some papers, aren´t there always some papers to go through when his phone rang, he was called in the directors office, when he got there he saw Jenny staring intensly at a TV screen with a picture of what appeared to be a Nazi officer who was photographed in front of a barak.

why did you call me up here

Ziva has returned to Mossad for a mission she couldn´t refuse, and one that she did not want to refuse

what do you mean Gibb´s curiousity got peeked, Ziva wanting to go back to Mossad, even after all this time she wasn´t too keen on any dealings with her father or Mossad.

she going after him, Dr.Aribert Heim a SS officer in the deathcamps of Europe at the time of world war II´ Jenny pointed at the screen, ´the Simon Wiesenthal centre have evidence he is currently living in Chili´

Santiago, Chili

When Ziva arrived in Santiago she enjoyed the heat, that was really the one thing she missed in Washington, she liked the city, but every now and then she longed for the long warm days in Tel Aviv. Her contact in the city had arranged for a hotel near the place where they believed to have seen dr.Heim, and where they had taken his most recent but blurry photo.

She checked into a different hotel then the one her contact had arranged, and when she got her room straightened out she called Mossad to confirm her arrival, she didn´t use her cellphone but went looking for several phonebooths that were located not too far from the hotel but also not too close to associate them with either her or the hotel she stayed in. It made her smile because she knew that if anyone would try to trace her calls she at least had them put to work in order to find her, and it would give her some much needed extra time just in case.

Washington

´she is doing what…..´ Gibbs couldn´t believe his ears ´and you let her go´ he jelled. He was worried, what if Ziva´s father had found out that it was in fact Ziva who shot and killed Ari and not him. What if it was all a trap. She was on her own if anything went wrong.

´I couldn´t have stop her even if I wanted too´ Jenny was rather surprised at Gibb´s outburst .

´you seem to forget one thing Gibbs, she was a assassin long before you or I came into the picture, she has always managed on her own, she will do so now. She is used to working on her own. She´ll be fine´ Gibbs stormed out the office but came back ´and what the hell am I going to tell the rest of my team´

tell them she went back to Israel in order to be with her Aunt Netty, who got sick and wanted Ziva to be at her side´ Gibbs was litterly growling yeah, they really are going to buy that, Ziva getting all cuddely with her auntie´

Jenny smiled when she heard him say that. She´s going to be fine, just fine. Maybe if she said it enough times she could actually believe it.

Since I have no idea where this story is taken me, the updates will not posted as quickly as I would like them to be, but be patient, I'll get there in the end. With my very the first story I knew exactly where I was going with it, but this one……..no clue what so ever.
