Soon Ziva and Jethro were sitting on a bench with Paul waiting for Grace to finish what she had started. 30 minutes later and a phone call to McGee later they saw Grace coming up the path limping slightly but still laughing and talking with the two boys. Gibbs noticed 2 things one that Grace had a brace on her right knee and the taller of the two bay had she left arm around her while all 3 of them talked. All 3 of them passed and Ziva made a move to follow but Jethro made her just sit. In 5 minutes all 3 of them were back but in different clothes. They all wore clean jeans, cowboy boots and t shirts with matching ballcaps on. Gibbs made a move to get up and let Grace sit beside Ziva but she chose to sit on the ground and stretch her knee straight out and relax.
Paul made introductions and Jethro and Ziva waited for the two boys to leave but they made no move to leave. They soon learn that the taller boy was Graces boyfriend Noah and the shorter boy was her adoptive brother Dylan. The first thing that Gibbs asked was how she hurt her knee. Grace laughed and said, which time I hurt this time, I've hurt this knee 3 or 4 times. Jethro replied go in order. Grace let out a breath then said, well the first time I dislocated my knee cap when I was breaking a colt to ride and he threw me, the second time I hurt it I got kicked by steer I help band, then running in school pulled a tendon and the last thing that happened was walking in heels for 6 hours straight in Morgantown. Then Grace looked at her watch and said Dyl it's time to go. Grace stood up and said good bye to Noah and Paul and nodded to Jethro and Ziva. Jethro offered to give them a ride and they agreed.
It was a ten minute drive to where Grace and Dylan lived. Grace got out first and removed her knee brace and started walking slowly to the house. Dylan stayed with Ziva and Gibbs for a moment before going and starting up a tractor and he drove off. Grace soon returned wearing dark grey leggings, a dark blue t shirt and riding boots along with a J brace similar to the one that Jethro was wearing on his knee under his jeans. Grace walked up to them and said you can go if you want. But Ziva shook her head and said they were staying. Grace said, ok have it your way but that car of your won't get you where I'm going. Grace had a smirk on her face and said follow me. She walked up to an old beater truck with room for 3 barely. Ziva sat in the middle while Grace drove and Gibbs was in the passenger seat. After a 5 minute drive through a rought dirt road Grace stopped and got out and opened the gate to a 30' by 100' arena and walked into a small block stable and ten minutes later she came out with a beautiful black and while paint filly. She mounted and started riding in the arena. Gibbs took to opportunity to ask Grace a few questions. Gibbs cleared his throat and said, Tatalia when was the last time you saw your adoptive mother. Grace looked at them guilty and said, 6 months ago and I talked to her 3 or 4 weeks ago on the phone. Then Ziva asked what she knew about her real parents and Grace said, I know that my mother was an from Israel and a Mossad agent and didn't want me and my father was a Marine that was killed in combat before I was born so I was sent to America where I was adopted by the Naylors. Ziva had tears in her eyes and looked around so no one would see her cry. Soon Grace was finished with the filly she was working with and she got off and lead the filly back to the barn area and soon came back limping a little bit more.
