Ch. 2:
Back at the bullpen
Ziva's working on some paperwork, trying to keep herself busy. Her phone rings ' Yes someone to talk to.'
"David." Ziva says as she answers her desk phone.
"Hey Ziva, it's me Miki. I know you've already heard about the murder. But I didn't do it. I promise you I just walked in and found him, but with my background I didn't think it would be safe to be there so I just left."
"Miki, this is not smart to call me here at NCIS. We need to meet."
"No Ziva I don't want to be running. I'm on my way to your office to talk to Director Vance. The evidence will show I'm innocent. Maybe, hopefully."
"No, no Miki, I cannot let you do that. What if the evidence does not show your innocence?"
"Well then Z, that's when you come in and save ass like when we were little. That's why I called you to give you a heads up."
Then Ziva hears the ding from the elevator and as she turns around to look she sees her sister walking off being escorted by a security guard.
Ziva gets up and heads toward her sister and the guard.
"Hello James, I'll take our guest." Ziva states to the guard.
"Hello Special Agent David, but our guest would like to speak to the Director."
"I know and I will take her there." Ziva states glaring at him warning him to back off.
As the guard walks back towards the elevator, Ziva looks at her sister who she hasn't seen in years. Miki was beautiful, but she did look a lot like Ziva. Miki was a very tall and slender woman. With thick wavy black hair similar to Ziva's and sharp green eyes and cute dimples in her cheek. Miki was wearing a pair of tight dark jeans, a simple white 'v' neck shirt and a blue purse thrown over her shoulder across her chest.
It had been awhile since Ziva had seen her sister. 12 years to be exact. When their younger sister Tali had died Ziva and Miki had both decided to dedicate their lives to Mossad. However in honor of their sister Miki would not commit murder. She refused to be a trained assassin like Ziva, instead she would work undercover to gain information that could help Mossad.
"Miki, you are my last living sibling and I will not let anything happen to you." Ziva states giving her and expression that is daring her to try and go against Zivas demand.
But the one problem of being so close growing up was that Miki was not afraid of Ziva. Yes she knew the things that Ziva did for Mossad, but Miki never feared Ziva and she wasn't going to start now.
"Ziva, I owe it to John, I'm sorry Petty Officer Miller, to help you guess find his killer. I will not run and be a coward. I'm good at profiling and interrogations. I can help y'all." Miki says starting to head to the stairs leading to the director's office.
Before Ziva can respond Director Vance walks out of his office and sees Ziva standing there and Miki walking towards his office.
"Shalom Miki. I have been expecting your visit." Vance says motioning Miki to follow him.
"Shalom Leon. It has been too long, how are the wife and children?" Miki says while she looks over her shoulder to see her sister skulk back to her desk and finish some paperwork.
"They are fine. Thank you for asking. But Miki we have a problem that we need to discuss and I think it would be better in my office."
Gibbs, Tony and McGee are just getting back from the crime scene and Tony comes into the bullpen excited to tell Ziva the interesting twist that they have on their new case.
"Ziva, Ziva, guess what happened at the crime scene. Actually why weren't you at the crime scene? Did you do something to piss off the boss?" Tony says with a little smirk.
But before Ziva can tell Tony to 'shut up' she hears a familiar laugh and looks up to see her sister Miki walking out of the director's office smiling and laughing with Cynthia the directors assistant. She can make friends anywhere Ziva thought.
"Woah. Who's the hot stuff with Cynthia? She looks kinda like Ziva."
"Do you think I am hot Tony?" Ziva says looking at her partner a smile getting to her lips.
"Well, I mean yea your attractive Z but I mean you're my partner." Tony gets out practically drooling over Miki as she walks toward the bullpen.
Ziva was a little hurt by Tony's words. Not really sure why but the thought that he didn't find her hot was unsettling.
"Hey cutie." Miki said to Tony while walking into the bullpen and looking at her sister Ziva "Is he single?"
"Yes, but no Miki do not get involved with him. Tony needs a secretary to keep up with all the women he sees." Ziva says not wanting her sister to be anywhere near Special Agent Anthony Dinozzo.
"All come on Ziva, that's not far, and you hot stuff can call me Tony." Tony says walking to the woman and taking her hand while leaving a kiss on it.
"Are you Ziva's sister?" McGee asks seeing the resemblance.
Ziva stands and slaps Tony's hand glaring at him while pulling her sister away. "Yes, McGee she is my sister Miki." Ziva says over her shoulder leading Miki away towards the elevators.
Ziva pushes the down button and the two sister step into the elevator and immediately after the big silver doors shut, Ziva pushes the escape button.
"What did Director Vance say?" Ziva says worrying about her sisters well being.
"He said that my alibi is not that strong, but that Agent Gibbs had found some finger prints on the murder weapon and that I am to go see a Ms. Abby Sciuto and have my finger prints taken to run against those from the scene. And if I am cleared I am to work unofficially with you and the team."
"And if you are not cleared." Ziva states rather bluntly.
"Chill Z, I did not kill John, so my prints won't be on the murder weapon." Miki says matter of factly.
