I'm bacckkk!
Unfortunately I don't own NCIS :-(


Eyes fluttered open and shut. Lights. Flashing lights. Bright flashing lights; too bright.

"She hasn't said a word since she got here" The doctor was talking to someone.
"Really?" Ziva?!
"We were hoping you'd be able to get something out of her" Greaattt *eye roll*

Ziva made her way to the plastic chair at her sister's bedside. Sighing, she took the hand of the fourteen year old girl and squeezed it tight. To anyone else it would look like Cassie was asleep but Ziva noticed the tight-lipped expression and shook her head, smiling.

"Cassie, I know your awake. We need to know what happened." Ziva looked at her hopefully. Cassie's right eye opened and seconds later so did her left. Her mouth remained shut tight.

"Hey mini ninja," came a voice from the door. Cassie grinned at Tony. Hey she could talk with her face, right?
"Still not talking?" He asked. She shook her head firmly.

Tony grinned if she was anything like her sister he knew she would remain by her vow of silence until she decided to free it.


Over the days visitors would come and go but Cassie remained adamant to her silent vow. Eventually, 3 days into into her hospital stay, the doctor decided she was fit enough to return home. However, she was forbidden to work until she had been cleared. Until then she was to stay at home and rest.
