Hey guys. Thanks for the fantastic reviews, they meant so much to me. Thank you again! So here is the update, and I usually will update everyday, so sorry for the slightly longer wait. I have written most of the chapters, so I hope I will update faster and quicker! Thanks guys so much!

In this chapter, there is a song mentioned. It is called "Start Again" by Lover's Electric (or Lovers Electric...same thing anyway). I love that song. You should all listen to it!! Yay!

Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS, and I do not own the song mentioned in this fic...or anything else you think I have referred or mentioned or copied (which I do not think I have), etc...

So...don't let me keep you waiting. Please read!

Chp 2. Follow the footsteps

The next morning, a rather cheerier than yesterday Ziva came strolling in, listening to a song on her iPod, Start Again by Lover's Electric. It was quite a soft song at the beginning...

do you know what I know

where the light hits the dark

we can brighten the world

with the smallest of sparks

do you see what I see

past the lies and mistakes

we can make or we can break

we've got all that we need

we're gonna learn sometimes

we're gonna fall sometimes

we're gonna get burnt sometimes

but we can always start again

yeah we can always start again...

do you hear what I hear

there's a truth in our hearts

and we can push it away

or we can follow it's path

do you feel what I feel

something real has begun

there's a change in our eyes

and a mood in the air

we're gonna learn sometimes

we're gonna fall sometimes

we're gonna get burnt sometimes

but we can always start again

yeah we can always start again.

Ziva liked this song. It was so...it represented her life, getting burnt and hurt then starting again. She had started again so many times in her life. With her sister's death, with her mother's death. Ziva was deep in thought until she came to her desk.

On it, there was a note, folded up neatly in half. Great she sighed what now? Opening the letter, frustrated, she read it.

"Dear heart, I hope you have been well

And today, I present you with a maze.

Look down, darling and find your path,

See the feet, running wide and far,

Follow its path, follow its path,

At ten past eight, follow this path

Which may lead you to happiness.

Stay safe, dear one, I can not lose you again."

Ziva glanced at her watch. It was six past eight. She had four minutes. She dumped her bag, and began to unpack. It was now ten past eight. She began to follow the footsteps, one, by one, by one...


Jenny slunk into her office. It was seven past eight. There were strange footprint things outside, people were seriously queer...She glanced at her table...but she had her hopes to high. Of course there was nothing. No friendly rose, no love note...wait, was that a note? She hurried and unfurled it, excited and anxious.

"Dear heart, I hope you have been well

And today, I present you with a maze.

Look down, darling and find your path,

See the feet, running wide and far,

Follow its path, follow its path,

At ten past eight, follow this path

Which may lead you to happiness.

Stay safe, dear one, I can not lose you again."

Jenny glanced at her watch. It was ten past eight. She immediately began to hurry, to run, waiting for the end of this...waiting for the surprise...


What is the surprise?

And the same notes again...what is going on?

You all probably know who the note senders are, if you don't, just try and think. Clues are the couples that I adore...

Anyway, sorry that it was a bit short. I'll make up for it in next chapter. Hope you liked it! Review please! Thanks! Bye! Love you all!
