Kari leant back against the cold metal of the elevator walls, she wasn't sure if this was the best thing to do. You cant exactly pop up out of nowhere and explain something so big and expect to be taken in with open and loving arms.
The elevator doors opened with a ping and Kari's young and strong expression toughened for what ever she might get thrown back in her face.
"Special agent Gibbs?" Kari asked just like she had rehearsed on the plane ride to America, her Israeli accent strong and bold.
"Yes?" Gibbs paused and looked at the badge and a detail hanging from her belt "Officer David" he said and mentally chuckled, wasn't one David enough for any person?
One agent looked at the young girl shocked, while the other two let it pass and carried on with their reports so Gibbs wouldn't have to slap them, again. Ziva slowly and steadily rose from her seat and walked up to Gibbs, only because her curiosity had gotten the better of her. Kari looked at Ziva; she was just like the photos and similar to herself in many ways, the dark curly hair, and the deep brown eyes, which could turn into a death glare in seconds.
"Z-Ziva" Kari stuttered, which wasn't like her one bit.
"Its not you! It can't be!" Ziva said in Hebrew, her voice rose in shock and her arms left her sides for a few seconds before her brain told her to calm down and take this slowly.
Gibbs looked at the two, even he couldn't put this little puzzle together, and so he took a step back and leaned against his desk. Of course he could still hear them though.
"Is it really you?" Ziva asked warily, unsure if she actually wanted the truth. Kari nodded silently and closed the space between them, still comfortable, but more private.
"What did they tell you?" Kari asked her voice now bitter and angry, her one fist clenched at her side and her black boot digging into the carpet floor. Ziva inhaled and pulled her over to the window, She didn't even want Gibbs to understand this strange yet personal situation. "They said that you suffered multiple gunshot wounds whilst tracking a local gang in the area you were in" Ziva said her voice a little more calm, but the fact that Kari was around fifteen and she had gotten such a dangerous case, angered her to the core. Kari sighed and did her best to fight back some rare tears. "Answer me this, why did you leave me? I was five, alone and scared. You wouldn't believe how many older men would take advantage of that" she said coldly, a wave of tormenting flashbacks shaking her mind and body. Ziva's eyes widened and her expression softened, "Kari" she said motherly and brought her into her arms. Well this was shocking!
Gibbs, McGee and Tony watched Ziva literally collapse her normal barrier of simple and blunt expression. She was letting her emotion pour out for this young girl; obviously Gibbs had put two and two together and worked out who this girl actually was.
"Ziva's a mom?" McGee asked, just after he had the light bulb moment. Gibbs nodded "Seems so don't it?" he said and walked back to his desk, letting the mother and daughter re united and share some painful yet moving moments together.
"Wonder who the father is" Tony said to himself as he to walked back to his desk, to open up a game of cards on his computer.
"Don't ever leave me again okay, Mom?" Kari cried into Ziva's shoulder, feeling like a small child, but she didn't care, right now she was with her mother and for once in her life she felt looked after and safe.
"I wont" Ziva lied, her tone was warm, but she didn't know what she was going to do, but more than anything she was going to have a few words with her father and how he cared for her daughter, and maybe then she would re think about being a mother for real.
