I have to say, those who read this, you reviewed quickly. Okay, Second Chapter.
Ziva let the child sob quietly. She looked at her partner who was still confused.
"Will you sit in my chair for a minute? I need to talk to Agent DiNozzo." Ziva said to the girl. The child nodded and curled up in Ziva's chair. The agent motioned for Tony to follow her.
"She is, or was, my best friend's daughter." Ziva said. "Incidentally, she is also my neice. Her name is Salma Haswari."
"So, she's your brother's kid?" Tony asked.
"Not anymore." Ziva said. "Ari gave up all rights to her nine years ago when he left my friend and Salma to join Hamas. I was told to take care of her if anything happened to Mirala."
"Mirala is your friend?" Tony asked.
"Yes."
"What made her decide on the name Salma." Tony questioned.
"Mirala was a fan of Salma Hayek. Salma also means to be safe." Ziva replied. The agent looked toward the bullpen to see Salma sleeping in her chair. She sighed.
"Does Eli know?" Tony asked her. Ziva looked back at him.
"No. He never paid attention to who my friends were. We never invited people over." Ziva replied. "Besides. Ari and Mira wanted to keep her a secret. They were afraid that my father would make her into a killer like Ari was and like he wanted me and Tali to be before she died."
"We should probably go back over there so Gibbs doesn't startle her." Tony said after a long pause.
"You are right." Ziva said. She started walking back to her desk.
"Hey Zi." Tony said. The other agent turned. "If you need help, you know where to find me." Ziva smiled.
"Toda." She replied.
I know this chapter still wasn't very long, but I hope it explains more. Review!
