N.C.I.S - Without A Shadow of A Doubt

Chapter 2

A/N: Shout out to zabbygirl my first reader and first reviewer. This chapter is up alot quicker than the rest might be. Purely because my friend helped me through some stuff. This is is like a reward/thanks. So again, zabbygirl. This chapter is dedicated to you. Now Onward to the Chapter.


"What do you mean he's back." Jenny shouted as she jumped up. "I was to be notified as soon as he entered the country". Ziva stood. "Do not worry director. I am sure that if he got too close to me, Gibbs and the team would hunt him down like a wolf". " The saying is hunt him down like a dog, Ziva. Jenny smiled as the young Israeli thanked her for her time and left. "Ashley could you get me some very strong coffee please?" "Right away Director".

Ziva came back down the stairs smirking at Tony. "Congratulations Tony, You can keep your genitals… For now at least" Abby was still sleeping soundly curled up in Ziva's chair. She smiled at the sleeping form of scientist before going to her computer. McGee smiled as he checked his E-mail. He had a new Email from Ziva. After he read it he sent a quick reply, logged out and then left the building. Once McGee was gone Ziva got up and walked over to the elevator. She got in and pressed the button for the Morgue.

When the doors opened she walked out and into the Morgue to find Ducky sitting at his desk talking to Jimmy. "You see Mr Palmer over 2500 left-handed people are killed by using right-handed products."

Ziva walked in with a smile on her face because of the conversation she had overheard. Ducky turned to Ziva. "Ahhh Ziva my dear, what can I do for you?" "I came down for an old fashioned drink of tea." "Mr Palmer, you may go for lunch if you wish. I shall call you if there is a case." "Okay Dr Mallard. I'll see you after my lunch." As Jimmy left, Ducky started making the tea while Ziva picked up a mug. "So Ziva, What is on your mind?" "Is it not possible that I am just here to chat with you?" "It is entirely possible my dear, but the way you are gripping that mug I can only assume that you are stressed by something." Ziva just smiled at him as she handed him the mug. "Someone very bad has just come back into my life." Ducky looked at her, he knew there was something she wasn't telling him but he didn't push the matter so he turned back to make the tea. "Have you told Jethro, I am sure he would be of more help to you than me." "I cannot tell Gibbs but I have told Jenny." Ducky looked at her before handing her the mug back. As she took her seat Ducky couldn't help but feel sorry for Ziva. She had been through so much and there was still so much happening. "So my dear, how about we have a normal conversation?" Ziva smiled at the eccentric doctor. "I believe you and Jimmy were talking about left-handed people being killed ". "Ahh. Yes. This is very fascinating. You see, over 2500 left-handed people are killed by using right-handed products. The most common being a right-handed power saw." As Ducky continued Ziva smiled and drank her tea.


DiNozzo was finishing his paperwork when McGee returned with a bag. "Hey McGoo, do you think Ziva would carry out her threat if I woke Abby?" The younger agent smiled at Tony. "Yeah, I think she would she sent me an E-mail to get her a pole. McGee proved his statement by reaching into the bag and pulled out a metal pole. DiNozzo jumped up from his desk and lunged for the pole in McGee's hand. Tim dropped the pole back into the bag and pushed himself away from his desk as DiNozzo flew over his desk, knocking his keyboard, pens and general clutter from his desk. He also knocked over the chair which hit the filing cabinet and then the floor. Both men looked over to find a wide-eyed Abby clutching Ziva's jacket as she stood and walked over to them. When they heard the sound of the elevator door they turned to see Ziva walking towards them. Abby blushed a little bit as she realised she was holding onto Ziva's jacket for dear life. "Abby who woke you up?" Abby could see the concern in Ziva's eyes. She pointed to DiNozzo and McGee and started walking to her lab. "Abby you have been working all night. You need to rest or you will work yourself into floor." Abby smiled and corrected her. "Its into the ground Zee, I'll be fine". Ziva knew she was just trying to get back to work. "Abby wouldn't you be better resting now when there aren't any cases rather than later when there are. You don't know who they could get working in your lab if you exhaust yourself."Abby stopped to think about it. Ziva had a point. They might get that guy who smells like old cheese. Maybe it was her caffeine starved brain that made her ask Ziva if she could sleep at her desk again. Ziva led her back with a nod of her head. When Abby sat down the Isreali woman pulled the blanket over the younger woman and reclaimed her Jacket. Almost instantly, the young Goth fell asleep.

Ziva turned back to McGee and DiNozzo. "I believe Abby was woken up and identified you two as the culprits. Now McGee I can believe was pulled into this mess accidently." As Ziva said this she walked over to McGee's desk and retrieved the pole. "But I warned you Tony and you ignored me." She started walking towards DiNozzo's desk with a predatory smirk on her face. The senior field agent started backing away into the corner of his workspace. "Ziva, please, I'll do anything just please dont crush my balls." Ziva stopped advancing towards her friend. "I will make you a deal." Tony looked up. "What deal?" Ziva smiled sweetly at him making DiNozzo feel uncomfortable. "You will buy Abby's Caf-Pows for a month, You will buy McGee two games of his choice and attend a convention with him in an outfit of his choice and you will make no Movie References until you have been to the convention and return with pictures." Gibbs walked down the stairs from Jenny's office clutching his coffee cup. "I'd take the deal DiNozzo." Tony looked defeated. "Fine." He reached out and shook Ziva's hand. Gibbs binned his now empty cup. "Ziver, you're with me." He stopped to look at DiNozzo and McGee before pointing at Abby. "Don't wake her up." McGee stood. "Do we have a case boss?" Gibbs shook his head and walked to the elevator with Ziva following. As the elevator doors closed, Gibbs glanced over at Ziva before stopping the elevator between floors. "Abaddon Harel, You're going to take me to him." Ziva was speechless. "Jenny told me because you wouldn't." Ziva hung her head before pressing the button to restart the elevator. Gibbs put his hand on her shoulder. When they stepped outside, Ziva realised how cold it was. She pulled her jacket closer to herself. She smiled to herself as she remembered the last time she had worn this jacket. The team had gone to an amusement park for Abby's birthday. Abby had made them go on all the rides together. Abby had convinced her to join the goth in eating as much junk food as possible. They had spent the day filling up on corndogs and candy floss then the all night throwing up. She could still smell the corndogs mixed with Abby's perfume. A smile graced her face.
