If all it took, to save someone's life, was the power of love, we would all be able to live, forever.
"I am sorry, Caitlin. But, I believe that it is the only way for us to save our son." Ari replied. "If I did not want our son safe, I would not be suggesting this."
"I understand, Ari. I just really want our son back." Caitlin sighed. "And if it means going back to our old lives, then I will do it. I will do whatever it takes to get Gavin back." She looked up at Ari. "Nothing will stop me, and nothing will break this family apart."
"I was not planning on anything happening to our family. We will not let Mossad and NCIS break us apart." Ari looked toward Ashley, and then back at Caitlin, before whispering, "What are we going to tell her?"
Caitlin looked over at Ashley. She had a confused look on her face. "Ashley?" She asked. Her friend's head shot toward her voice. "Do you know what is going on here, at all?" Ashley shook her head. "We were once in another life. Basically, I was apart of Secret Service, protecting the president. After that, I started working for NCIS. When I met Ari, I thought my whole life took a turn for the better. So, we had started seeing each other. Soon, I realized, that Ari was not a terrorist like everyone thought. Ari was a Mossad Officer. Do you know what that is?" She shook her head, again. "It is someone who works as an assassin in Israel. But, only to protect their country." Ashley nodded. "His father would not approve, and my boss would not approve of us, so we faked our deaths so we could be together."
Ashley smiled, slightly. "That is so sweet. That you two would give up everything for each other." She began to frown. "I don't think that my husband would do anything like that for me."
"My father did not have a heart, he never did. That is when I decided that I would not turn out like him." Ari said to Ashley. "Nobody would understand from our old lives, that is why we have to work really hard on going back to them, because I do not know if we can." He sighed. "Caitlin, are you sure about this?, because this will require a lot of work, and putting our life in danger. We will have to have someone to back us up."
Ashley looked toward them. "That would be my husband and I. We live for danger, since we are both apart of the FBI." Caitlin looked at Ari as if she had just seen a ghost.
"Why did you not tell us that before?" Ari asked. "If you would have told us that, we would not have had to broke our cover." He put his head in his hands. "You have to work with us. I am serious when I say that you can tell no one about us. If you do, Caitlin and I, will be killed."
"And you are willing to go to these lengths to get you're son back?" Ashely asked.
Both Ari and Caitlin nodded. "I am not leaving my son out there with a stranger, that could kill him at any moment." Caitlin lashed out. "Would you let someone take you're daughter away from you?" Ashley shook her head. "Now, why do you think I want to do this?"
Ari held Caitlin off. "I am sorry. She is not usually like this, but with our son gone⦠He means everything to us. We would not leave him with someone we do not know. We barely leave him with people we do know."
"I understand, but I was just asking, just incase your cover was blown."
"We are going to do everything to get him back, even if it means blowing our cover." Caitlin sighed; this was going to be one hard day, one hard week, one hard month, and one hard year. "Ari, please, I want to go home for a while before we start back to NCIS."
Ari nodded. "Ashley, if you will excuse us. I really do think Caitlin needs to relax and get some sleep before we do something so major." She nodded. "Is there any phone number that we can contact you at, so we can call you later?"
Ashley wrote down her cell-phone, and her husband's cell-phone number on a piece of paper that she had in her purse. "Thank you, Ashley. You have been a really big help. I just really hope you can use your connections, too, to help us find Gavin." Caitlin said.
"Anytime, Caitlin."
A/N: So, I know it has kind of been awhile, and I am truly sorry about it. This is going to change, though. As soon as I can get school and cheerleading under-control, I promise this will be updated way more than it has been. :) Just hang in there. Thanks! :)
