Here you have the next chapter, sorry for the long wait. Thanks to ncis523 for the help to this story. Read and review. Gives me some ideas too, that would be great.

"The plane to Washington DC is arriving in ten minutes. Please don't
leave any baggage behind," the annoying voice in the plane told Ziva, waking
her from the sleep. She looked out of the window; the sky was covered by gray
clouds. 'This is going to be long time' she thought as her eyes once again
were gliding around in the plane.

When the plane had arrived Ziva picked up her baggage and walked out of the
airport. When she saw the 'car' the embassy had sent, she rolled her eyes.

The 'car' was a black limo with a driver dressed in a suit. As the
daughter of the Deputy Director of Mossad she always got a better treatment
than the other agents. Sometimes she really hated it. It wasn't Mossad's
respect she wanted. It was her fathers.

As the man opened the door for her, Ziva stepped in. The limo was not big,
but it was still too big for Ziva who, if she had a choice, would pick a mini
as her car. It was small and fast.

"Ms. David?" Ziva took her eyes from the window as the driver said her
name.

There was no time to sleep, but god she was tired. She really just wanted to
get to the embassy and get the sleep she needed.

"Mmm?"

"I will wait for you in front of the embassy tomorrow at seven"

"No need to, I will drive myself" Ziva hated the drivers slow driving and
there was no way he was driving her the whole week.

"But Ms David I have ord-" Ziva cut him off

"I don't care about your orders, and I'm here on business not pleasure,
which means, it is Officer David"

"I apologize…" again Ziva cut him off.

"Do not apologize! It is a sign of weakness!" she was tired, annoyed and
just wanted to kill the man right now. The driver got her message and rolled
up the window between the front- and backseat…

Gibbs smirked, this was Ziva. Impatient and would never let anyone take care
of her. She found the things other people would kill for annoying or
indifferent. The only thing she wanted was to really know her father. For
Gibbs it was clear, she had the same look in her eyes, as Kelly had had when
he was about to go away. Even his eyes never left the screen; he noticed the
glares his Senior Agent and Mossad Officer were sending each other. He had
always suspected they were more than partners, but he was never sure.

The next morning Ziva was ready by 6'oclock, the driver had sat a car in
front of embassy. A red mini. Ziva smiled, it was the car she often borrowed
when she was in the states. The warm air was playing with her wild hair and
she felt warm in her cargo trousers and white T-shirt.

When the conference began Ziva listened attentively. Some of the things were
actually not as stupid as she thought.

To make the bond between the different agencies stronger, they had mixed the
agents. So when Ziva got to see her name in the list she didn't recognize
any of her 'teammates'.

A voice beside her mumbled "Ziva David" and Ziva turned to the woman;
automatically correcting her "It is pronounced Da-veed."

The woman took her eyes form the list to look at the exotic woman beside her.
Her face lightened up in a smile.

"Hello Agent Da-veed"

"Shalom" Ziva shook her hand and took a good look at the woman. She had
long red hair, not as long as her own, but down her shoulders. Her eyes were
light brown and she smiled friendly.

She was probably a couple of years older than Ziva herself and then of
course, she was an NCIS agent.

"Ziva David" Ziva said politely, trying to get the name of her new
teammate.

"Jennifer Sheppard. However, you can call me Jen. Nice to meet you Ziva"

Gibbs stared at the screen as he recognized his old partner, friend, director
and love. Jen had been much more beautiful than he remembered. It broke his
heart to know that she was dead and never would sent him one of hers beautiful
smiles again. Knowing that she would never complain about him, because he
never knocked on the door to her office. Not to tell her to keep her fingers
out of his cases. He smiled sad at the memory.
The other agents sat with a sad smile too. Remembering all the beautiful
things with Jen.

The two agents were walking down the hallway. Their team would be the two of
them and they were on their way to get their orders. The agents at the
conference would be sent all over the world to fight against terrorists.

Ziva knocked on the door and stepped in, followed by Jenny. "Hello. Mossad
Officer David and NCIS Agent Sheppard"
"Shalom"

"Hello"

"I will get straight to the point. You two will start in Europe and end in
Africa. Germany, Deutschland, Italy, France, Spain, Morocco and Egypt are just
some of the countries you will be operating in. You'll fly to Berlin;
Germany is the next month first Monday at 7.00 am. If something should go
wrong, you can only contact your contact-man here in the States. He will
always have his phone on and only one of you get to meet him. David, he will
be waiting in the room down the hall, he will only contact you and you will
then give the information further to Agent Shepard, without saying anything
about your contact, it is safest that way. Any questions?"

"No" they answered at the same time and he nodded. Silence told them to
leave.

When Jenny closed the door behind she walked to the left and Ziva continued
down the hallway.

Ziva knocked twice on the door and stepped in. When the door opened a tall
fit man opened. They both stepped into the meeting room. Ziva quickly took in
the room, checking it for microphones and cameras. The man shook her hand.

"Hello. I'm Trent Kort"

"Shalom. Ziva David"

"Ok. If you come in trouble you will call this number" he quickly wrote
some numbers down on a paper and handed it to her. "The code is 'See
You', if you say that in a call to me, I will trace the phone and send
backup,"

Ziva just nodded, she knew the drill it was no big deal. Ziva did not like
him, something about him just made suspicious. He was not much older than her.
And still he had that good-evil look in his eyes, like a snake. Trent Kort
could apparently feel her distrust and quickly spoke.

"Ok, I know you don't trust me, I don't trust you either, but we will
have to trust our director so much to know that we are on the same side.
Deal?"

"Deal. Monday, a month" Ziva stood up, gave him the hand and disappeared
out of the room. Back in the room sat a smirking Trent Kort.

Ziva's face appeared in the door for a moment "oh, by the way, we never
met" then she was gone…

Tony could not help but feel a little stupid. He had worked the most of a
year to try and identify Kort and then Ziva had known him the whole time? Why
hadn't she said something?

All the nights he and director had sat in MTAC just hoping to find the
matching name. He violently took the remote from McGee, putting the DVD on
pause.

"You knew him the whole time he was on screen in MTAC and the bullpen?!"
his voice was angry and hurt. He could feel the others stares on them.

"Yes" Ziva said simply, did not regret she did not tell them of her old
friend.

"Why! Why didn't you tell us? Tell me? Than would had made the whole
situation easier, or it would at least not lasted so long" he kept his eyes
on her.

Ziva could not help but laugh "Tony, had you really expected me to help you
with that, umm what did you call it, mission?" her laugh was fake, but only
Tony seemed to notice.

"Yes Ziva! I did!"

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you Tony. However, if you are crying over
my lack of honestly you should leave, cause I have hidden much worse things
from you" they just sat, staring into each other's eyes for a minute.
Neither noticed when McGee carefully took the remote out of Tony hand.

He started the movie again, and when Ziva saw where in her life they were,
she paled and stiffened. Her hands shook as she took her knees to her chest.

Gibbs felt Ziva's tension and looked worried at his Officer, something bad
was about to happen…

Ziva lay on her stomach in the bed in her room. Going and packing the things
she should have with her to Europe. There was almost a whole week to, but Ziva
had always liked to be prepared.

She just could not find her little knife. The knife covered as a hair buckle.

"I'm going to kill Tali if she has it" she mumbled under her breath.
Then her phone rang.

"David?"

"Ziva? Could you pick me up at Sara's father's restaurant now? You
promised Abba you would,"

"Yeah yeah yeah, as soon as I find my knife that disguises as a hair clip.
Have you seen it? " her voice became a little sharp at the last words.

She heard Tali giggle. "I think Ari loaned it to Caitlin. He is still a
little overprotective of her,"
"I'm going to kill him. Ok, I'll be there as soon as I finish
packing,"

"Ziva, that's going to take forever. Cant you just pick me up and then
finish packing?"

"Bye Tali" she said sweetly and she heard Tali groan in response.

Ziva cut the connection. A thought had hit by the mention of Kate's name.
Or it wasn't Kate as a person, but America. She did not know from which
airport they were flying. She quickly dialed the number she had to Jen.

"Hello?"

"Shalom Agent Sheppard"

"Shalom Ziva, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Jen or
Jenny" Ziva could almost hear her smile.

"Sorry Jen. However, I'm calling because I was trying to get a plan over
our… Trip next month. Do you know from which airport we are flying?" the
line wasn't safe and she could not let anything about their mission.

"Ziva. There is only one international airport in DC" Jen rolled her
eyes.

"Oh" that was embarrassing. "Thank you and sorry. Good bye"

"Good bye Ziva" they hung up and Ziva took her car keys from the table.
She hopped in her car and was in the restaurant in ten minutes even though it
was normally a twenty minute drive.

She pulled up to the restaurant and got out to go find Tali. She was a foot
from the enterance when the whole place exploded. She ran into the restraints
looking for Tali.

"Tali! Tali! Answer me Tali! Please answer me," she heard a groan and
then her name in the back of the restaurant. She ran over to where she saw
Tali laying cut up and crushed under a piece of the ceiling.

"I'm so sorry Tali. I should have came when you called," she ranted
while moving the pieces of ceiling off her.

"Not your fault Ziva, if it was meant to be it was meant to be," she
gasped out. She was bleeding out of the mouth and Ziva knew it was a lost
cause trying to save her.

She moved from the spot that she was trying helplessly to free her sister and
went to kneel beside her.

Tali moved her hands to her necklace fingering it, "I want you to where it
and think of me and our good times and how much I love you," Ziva saw how
difficult it was for Tali to talk and knew it would be soon.

"I love you to Tali. I'm going to miss you so much. Look over me will
you?" Ziva smiled through her tears as did Tali.

"Always and forever Ziva,"

"Always and forever Tali," with that tali's eyes closed and the life
drained from her. Ziva took the necklace off of tail and put it in her pocket.
She wasn't wearing hers either because of her and jen's mission.

She kissed tali's head as she heard the paramedics coming in. she tried to
get them away from Tali insisting she was dead but they took her away
anyways.

The worst part was that was the last image she would have of her precious
little sister. She was flying out for her mission before tali's funeral.

The last image on the screen before it faded out was Ziva on the plane toying
with the necklace a lone tear streaming down her face.

As the screen faded to black everyone turned around to look at Ziva. She had
her head buried in her knees with her arms wrapped around them. It was obvious
she was trying as this guy was bringing up her worst possible memories.

Tony and Abby went to go comfort her. They got within two inches and were
about to rub her back when she snapped at everyone. She looked up, her tears
now gone. Her face was dark and her mask was up.

"Don't touch me! Don't try to comfort me! Just don't! I don't need
your sorrow or guilt or anything. I need you to play the damn DVD's so I can
get out of here."

McGee played the next DVD….

Thank you for reading, review and tell me what you think :)
