Chapter 3: A hug, confession and a plane ride

Gibbs sat in the car with tony, McGee, Abby and ducky waiting for Ziva. As they all looked out the window they saw her on her mobile yelling in Hebrew Gibbs hopped out as she hung up the phone. Gibbs put her suitcase in the boot and gave her a face that read: are you ok? Ziva nodded.

When they arrived at the airport tony and Ziva went to get the tickets.

After that they all headed through the security gates.

The team, the A team, the A+ team stop and looked at each speechless not knowing what to do or say.

This was the time to say goodbye.

Ducky broke the silence. "well I guess this is farewell for now but not forever"……."Ziva?"

Ducky went for hug that is when everyone broke free of their silence and started to say good bye. Tony's plane wasn't leaving for another hour so he held off on the hugs right until the end. The true goodbye.

After hugging ducky Ziva moved onto McGee, then Abby, which once again was one of the famous Abby hugs where you would end up not breathing. McGee ended up pulling Abby off Ziva as she was struggling to breathe.

She went to hug tony now she hugged for so much longer than all the others. She couldn't seem to let go.

Tony whispered in her ear so that none one heard "I love and always will"

"Same here tony, same here" she replied

"I will get you all back, you have to believe me" Gibbs said over Ziva's shoulder while hugging her.

"3 days ago yes but now No" Ziva suddenly says in a whisper so none one could hear, after Gibbs comment.

Gibbs pulled away with utter confusion. She shook her head not wanting to answer.

"Flight A656, to Israel, Tele Aviv is now boarding"

"I should go" Ziva said while turning away and started to walk. She turned around and took one final look and the team and waved. McGee was hugging Abby while waving, ducky waved with a smile. Tony just smiled but standing still and looking wanted. Gibbs still had a confused look he was just standing there, not knowing what to do.

She turned around and kept walking, straight onto the plane.

The plane ride was only thinking of the past:

Ari….

Kate……

The love of her life………Tony

Her secret………

Should she of told Gibbs…….

Ziva sat on the plane not knowing what to do. Getting herself confused.

She should of told Gibbs, but either way it will kill her in the end.

She day dreamed the whole way to Tele Aviv thinking of just one thing: Ari…….
