Meeting (Mossad Style)
By: AndiKaneUnderwood
Zadok David knew from the moment the words appeared on his wrist the second he turned six years old, that his Marked was out there and waiting.
The rose and eagle (symbolizing his SoulMates beauty but sharp tongue and wit and the sharp eyes and independent nature) where accompanied by a tight, almost messy scrawl. Kate Todd, NCIS. Nice to meet you.
Zadok often wondered why his father would not let him go find his SoulMate once he completed his Mossad training. He was old enough and more than ready.
His father, Eli David, told Zadok that when his SoulMate was ready and it was time for them to meet, then Zadok would be aloud to go.
Zadok was very upset with this.
His SoulMate was there, she was waiting. He wanted her now.
Unfortunately, it looked like he would have to wait longer.
The second Ari Hiswari was gone, Zadok was meant to chase him.
Eli David had spoken and there was no way to defy his father.

When Caitlin Todd turned six, the words Zadok David, Mossad appeared on her wrist for the world to see.
However, her excitement quickly turned to burning anger when she remembered that her father had cheated on her mother (they where Marked to each other) because of those Marks and if they had never existed, then perhaps her family would still be together and she may still have Rachel.
Over time she found that the Marks (a gun (which symbolized the need to protect and army of some kind) and a wolf (meaning loner qualities and majestic beauty)) would become sharper and clearer the farther south she traveled. So she spent her entire life fighting with others to earn a place in the air.
She slept with her coworker to take away the pain of being so far away from her Marked and so close to meeting them (within a few years time).
Kate tried hard to ignore it, but eventually learned that if she ran from it, it would only hurt worse and she gave in to the pain, letting the relief she felt wash over her.
Kate smiled. She would meet him soon.

In the end, it was Ari Hiswari and his Marked, Marta (whom he killed just to scare Kate), that lead them together.
Kate felt the shift in the wind as the bullet tore through her shoulder where her head had been moments before.
She screamed as Tony's face was coated in her blood and he hurried forward to catch her.
"T-Tony." She gasped.
"No, no, no, don't talk." Tony replied, putting pressure on the wound to staunch the bleeding.
"Tony, l-listen!" Kate snapped.
"Kate..." And she saw it in his face that he was begging her not to tell him she was dying. He was begging her to tell him she'd be fine.
"I'm a-alright. T-Tell Gibbs," A sharp gasp because damn did moving at all right now hurt, "Tell G-Gibbs the p-p-parallel roof." She told him, then black hit her eyes and her body went limp.
When she woke up, there was a man with messy black hair pulled back in a short ponytail. "Zadok David, Mossad." He introduced himself, holding out his hand a tad close to hers.
Kate felt warmth travel up her arm and a shiver go down her spine as she shook his hand. "Kate Todd, NCIS. Nice to meet you." She took his hand and his jaw dropped in an almost fish like look.
Kate laughed and Zadok found that the sound was the most beautiful thing he'd ever heard.
The man sat next to Kate on the bed and held out his wrist, pulling up the sleeve. Kate saw the words she'd just spoke scrawled in her handwriting.
Kate held out her own wrist for Zadok's examination. Zadok smiled without looking at the words and pulled the agent in for a hug. "It's nice to meet you too." He whispered.
Kate smiled as she hugged him back with her good arm.
And the rest is history laying in wait.
