Sarah came out of the vent just as she heard Jen call out for her, and she timidly walked towards her and held out a brown paper bag with breakfast inside it for the both of them. It was Jen's favorite. Sarah had managed to get it from the cafeteria without being noticed. She smiled as she held it out in front of her, her bright blue eyes looking at Jen, "Breakfast" she said simply and softly. She seemed happy with herself to have managed to get breakfast for them both. She held out the other hand with two bottles of orange juice. It had been a little harder to get breakfast for two but with employees in the cafeteria that were more focused on their nails, it had not been too hard to get breakfast today.
In the light of day it was now visible that the young girl wore blue jeans with a blue long sleeve top that had marks on it from being in the venting system. Her shoes were somewhere in the cavity of the wall, she hadn't been wearing them because they made such a noise in the metal tunnels and so her socks were grey and black although they were originally white and frilly. Her bright blue eyes shone, and she had a soft smile on her face. Her dark curls cascaded around her face. Her tanned skin had cuts peppered in various places with a few small bruises. The jacket was still on the floor where it had been left before she fell asleep in the arms of the red headed director. A gold star of david hung from her neck on the same chain as a small locket shaped like a heart.
Jenny takes a deep breath knowing she was okay. She smiled .a mental note to pay for breakfast later. She grabbed her bag and orange juice from her and sat down at the large table. She offered her to join her as she unwrapped her back. "Sweetie, next time just wake me up and ask me. I can get you whatever you want." She smiled taking a bite of her favorite sandwich. She wonders how the girl gotten it right though. "Whats your name?" She asked softly.
She sat beside her at the table, and started to eat her breakfast after taking a sip of her drink, she tilted her head looking at Jen, she was confused, "But... I can get... see?" she said indicating to the breakfast that lay before them.
Her eyes were suddenly downcast, and her legs swung under the table, "Sarah" she said softly, in an almost inaudible whisper.
She nodded and chuckled smiling patting her arm lightly hoping to claim the girl. "im not mad, but its better if you ask before you do." She winked as she finished her breakfast. A knock came on the door as she opened it and a very beaten ziva came in. "Ziva!" She said in shocked. She dragged her in shutting the door.
Ziva shakes as she coughed. "My father had abandoned me." She said wheezing. Her mind runs wild as she looked over and gasped. "S...Sarah" she whispered in hebrew.
As soon as she heard the knock she ducked under the table, her eyes wide but when she saw her mother she tilted her head in confusion. What had happened to her mother? She was unsure what to do, she wanted to run to her but she hadn't seen her in so long, long enough that the only reason she recognised her was the photo she had in her pocket.
Ziva frowned when she saw her hide. She shot a look towards jen as she held her hands up. "I only founded her in my office. I taken care of her last night. I didn't know she was living here for these years."
Ziva just laughed as she pushed jenny back. She lost her gripping as she felled on her back. She grunted as she tried to move.
Sarah's eyes flew open and she moved to Jen's side. She didn't understand what was going on. Her life had been so confusing and unusual so far and she was too young to understand any of it.
Jenny whimpered in pain lightly as ziva moved closer. "Come Sarah. You do not belong here." She said softly. Jen rolled onto her side as she struggled to get up. She managed to as she leaned against the wall for support. Ziva went to grab sarah but was hurt when she saw her flinched away from her.
Sarah refused to move from Jen, and clung to her, "No, Ima!" she screamed, referring to Ziva as 'mother' in their mother tongue, "Don't hurt her" she said brokenly, tears on her tanned cheeks, her bright blue eyes glistened. She was scared, she didn't want her mother to hurt Jen. She loved her mother and had dreamt of being with her but this wasn't what she remembered. This wasn't the way her dream went.
Ziva had changed. Eli had broken her and made her stronger than ever. She sighed rubbing her face as jen shakes. She cares for the child but knows shes not hers. "S...sarah...you must go. Shes your ima. Im just a stranger to you remember?"
Sarah was terrified, her eyes wide and she was shaking. She was looking at her mother with pure fear and clung tighter to Jen, shaking her head, "No, you're not a stranger, you're Jen" she said simply. She had become accustomed to Jen in the months that she had been hiding in the vents.
She sighed softly as she held her lightly. She shuts her eyes tears falling.
Ziva snorts as she steps back. "I will get you back sarah. Courts will make damn sure." She walked out slamming the door.
Sarah looked up at Jen with fear still within the depths of her bright blue eyes, eyes that heavily resembled the blue depths of another agent's. "Don't make me go, please don't make me" she said with her voice filled with worry
