Ok…here's chapter 4! Yay! Review!
Chapter 4: Telling Ziva
Jenny slowly walked down the hallway with Tony to room 12D. When they got there, she reluctantly opened the door. Inside, she saw Ziva sitting wide awake in her bed, looking completely normal besides the hospital gown, IV, and bandage on her neck. "Hey Ziva. How are you feeling?" Jenny asked.
"Physically I am fine, but I am worried why everyone is being so secretive."
"Jenny sat down next to Ziva's bed in an ugly chair, and Tony followed. Once they were seated Jenny said to Ziva," Earlier this morning, your half-sister Timnah and your half-brother Yadid were also attacked." Jen stopped abruptly when she saw the look on Ziva's face. Her eyes were wide in shock, her mouth was slightly open, and tears were running down Ziva's face, and she didn't seem to care. "What?" She asked in a quiet voice Jenny had never heard before. Tony reached out and took her hand.
"What about Japhet? And Teme? Is Susi alright?" Ziva asked concerned.
"Timnah and Japhet were killed in a café bombing this morning, and Yadid and Teme were on the way to the zoo with Susi when they got in a crash. Susi survived, and the other driver never was found. Yadid and Teme wanted Susi to go to you should anything happen to them." Jenny finished and looked up at Ziva, who had started actually sobbing. Tony sat on the edge of her bed and wrapped his arms around her. She placed her head on his chest and sobbed openly.
"I'm so sorry Ziva. Everybody will visit tomorrow, alright? Try and get some rest. Your father is coming with the rest of your siblings for protection. We don't think all this is one big coincidence." Jen gave Ziva's hand a squeeze and left.
She sulked back into the waiting room and slowly sat down in one of the chairs with her face in her hands.
"I take it she didn't take it well." Ducky commented.
"No, she didn't. She was actually sobbing. DiNozzo is with her calming her down. I told her we'd visit tomorrow." Jenny stated.
"The poor girl. In less than four days 3 of her siblings have been killed, 2 kids have been added to her care, and she has been shot.
Ziva continued to cry for several more minutes. As her tears slowly started to stop, she took her head off my chest and said, "Tony, I am so sorry. First Cale and now Susi! I know this must be very hard on you, but I know Susi. She is a very sweet girl, and I don't want her to go to some stranger."
"I'm sure we will manage. We may need a bigger house though. Five kids in two bedrooms? I can already see them blowing up the house." Saying the words "blowing up" probably wasn't the best idea considering her sister was just killed in an explosion, and Ziva burst into tears again.
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry Zi, I wasn't thinking!" She chuckled at this.
"It is ok, Tony."
"Ok, I'm going to go see if TJ and Cale can stay with Abby and McGoo tonight. I'll be back in a minute, kay?"
"Ok." Ziva replied, still sniffling.
As soon as Tony walked in, he was engulfed by questions.
"Is Ziva ok? How'd she take it?" Abby started.
"I'm very sorry about this whole situation, the poor girl. Send her our regards." Ducky said.
"Do you want Cale and TJ to stay with Tim and me tonight?" Abby asked.
"Ok! Ok! Abby, we would be very grateful if you took Cale and TJ tonight. Ziva is…ok I guess. She'll be fine soon enough." Tony said over everybody.
After saying their goodbyes, Tony drove Ducky back to his house, and Jenny and Gibbs to Gibbs' house. Kinky, he thought. McGee and Abby needed help carrying 4 passed out kids to their car, but soon they were gone as well. Tony walked into Ziva's room and found her asleep. He sat down in one of the chairs, just realizing how exhausted he was, and allowed himself to slowly drift to sleep.
HEY…so Ziva's family is under attack and coming to D.C. Next chapter we will meet Susi and the rest of the David family! REVIEW!
