Chapter 10
I own nothing
"If you know where she is why didn't you tell your parents, or one of your sisters, or brother?" Tony asks confused.
"Two reasons, the first is Ziva needs time to herself to go think over everything that has happened to make sense of it, she needs time to herself the second is if she is where I am 99% positive she is then it is a place that we used to go when we were kids a place that Ziva, Kensi and I are the only ones who know about it." Abby explains to tony.
"And you don't want your parents to know about this place in case you feel the need to hide away from everyone in the future." Tony guesses.
"That's part of the reason but the main reason is the place where she is isn't the safest and if dad knew we used to go there when we were kids he would be pissed" Abby explains as the place isn't really the safest.
"Ok if you are so eager to keep it from your father why are you telling me?" Tony asks confused.
At that question Abby, turns away from her computer and two Tony "Zi likes to keep everything bottled up she doesn't like to show when something is bother her, you wouldn't believe what Kenz and I once had to do to get her to talk to us, this must be effecting her so much but she's not going to willingly talk about it not even to dad, what she needs most at the moment is some time to herself to think, but she also needs some company." Abby tells Tony as she is worried about her little sister.
"Why me though I just met her?" Tony asks feeling that maybe one of her siblings or parents would be better to talk to her at the moment.
"That's what she needs most at the moment, someone who doesn't know her well someone who she can just talk to, and I've seen the way you both have been looking at each other during the last day, you care Tony, and don't bother denying it." Abby tells her.
"Where can I find her?" Tony asks after a minute.
"There is a stair case on the south east side of the building it's through a door labelled with s09, it isn't alarmed and there isn't a security camera,0 take the stair case to the top, there will be a window, if you climb out of the window there will be a terrace balcony thing if you go along it left for about a foot you will find a ladder that will take you up to the roof, you'll find Ziva up there." Abby explains.
"Well that certainly explains why your dad would be angry at you for going there, but will Ziva be able to get up there with her legs how they are?" Tony asks interested.
"She'll find a way." Abby says with a smile.
"How are you the only ones who know about it?" Tony asks confused.
"I don't know we found the staircase one day when I was about 13, no one else seemed to be aware of it, and there is no security camera." Abby explains.
"I'll go find your sister." Tony tells Abby.
"Thanks Tony." Abby tells him giving him a hug.
"You're welcome Abs." Tony tells her before leaving.
Tony follows Abby's directions and finds the door to the staircase that Abby was describing he climbs up the stairs and finds the window and climbs out of it "Why am I not surprised that 3 young girls find this." Tony says to himself. He climbs along the terrace to the ladder and climbs up,
"I want to be alone Tony." Ziva tells him when she sees him.
"If you wanted to be alone why did you go hid In the one place your sister would know where to find you?" Tony asks sitting next to her.
"Because I knew Abs wouldn't tell Mom, Dad, Callen, Kelly or Kate." Ziva answers.
"it's an amazing view I can see why you like coming up here so much." Tony tells Ziva looking at the view.
Ziva smiles "Abby was 13, Kenz and I were 12, it was school holidays and Kenz was staying with us during the break, and during the day or choice was either stay at Dads house with the stepmonster stay at moms with Grandpa or come to NCIS, we choose NCIS it we would spend the day exploring, the only rules were we weren't allowed to leave the building or get in anyone's way, one day we saw the door wonder where it lead and found this place" Ziva explains to Tony smiling at the good memories.
"Grandpa? Stepmonster?" He asks confused.
"Grandpa is Moms dad he was a Colonel in the military he died when I was 13, the stepmonster was dads first wife Diane none of us liked her Abby came up with the name Stepmonster for her." Ziva explains.
"I'm sorry about your grandpa." Tony tells her sincerely.
"Thanks Tony." Ziva tells him "Since the day we found this place I always loved coming here to think especially after Abby went off to college and Kensi was on the other side of the county it allowed me to think."
"I can see that it's quite but the view is kind of mesmerising." Tony tells her.
The two sit in silence for a little while before Tony decides its time to talk about maybe going back "You know your parents and siblings are worried about you."
Ziva sighs "I know, I just needed some time to myself to think, my brother is trying to kill me, how do I even comprehend that, but your right we should go." Ziva tells him standing up.
"Your secrete is safe by the way, I'll tell your parents I found you walking back from the far bathroom." Tony tells her as he climbs down the ladder.
"Thanks." Ziva tells him as she reluctantly lets him help her climb down the ladder.
"Jethro what if he has her." Jenny says worried as they cheek the evidence garage.
"Then we will get her back, but security said that she didn't leave, she is most likely sitting someone thinking, and we'll find her." Jethro tells her though he himself is worried.
"She's barely old enough to drink, she shouldn't have to deal with none of what has happened to her, now this, when is she going to catch a break Jethro." Jenny asks him sadly as tears come to her eyes.
Jethro puts his arm around her "I know Jen, she shouldn't have to deal with any of this but Jen our little girl is strong she will make it through this, she has us and we won't let anything else happen to her." Jethro tells her.
Jenny looks up into Jethro's blue eyes into the eyes of the man she has loved since she was a teenager the two spend a few seconds staring into each other's eyes, the both slowly lean in but before their libs can touch Gibbs Phone rings "What?" he asks the caller angrily.
"You did, where was she? DiNozzo, take her back to Abby's lab Jen and I will be there in a minute, Call Kate, Kelly and McGee to tell them." Gibbs says then hangs up the phone.
"DiNozzo found her." Gibbs tells his ex-wife.
"Where was she?" Jenny asks relieved that her daughter has been found.
"She was walking around the building she needed time to herself to think." Gibbs tells her.
"Just like her father." Jenny says with a smile as the pair head to the elevator both deciding not to talk about what would have happened if Jethro's phone didn't ring.
When the get back to Abby's lab they see Ziva being hugged by Kelly as he sees everyone else including Ducky standing in the lab.
"You ok Ziver?" Gibbs asks his daughter as Jenny gives her a hug.
"Fine dad, I needed some time to think." Ziva tells him.
"Next time tell someone Ziver we were worried." Gibbs tells his daughter.
Ziva nods. Before anyone can say anything Ziva's phone rings "That's odd the only people who have this number are in this room." She says confused.
"Put it on Speaker." Gibbs instructs his daughter not having a good feeling about that.
Ziva nods "Hallo." Ziva says answering her phone and putting it on speaker.
"Shalom Ziva." She hears Ari's voice say.
"Ari." Ziva says angrily as she sends a look to Abby who realises what her sister wants and begins to trace the call.
"Is that anyway to great your brother?" Ari asks.
"You're not my brother, I have a brother, a brother who does whatever he can to protect me not kill me." Ziva tells him.
"You gave me no choice Ziva, the minute you decided to become a traitor turn your back on your family your people you sealed your own fate." Ari tell her.
"I am not turning my back on anyone you and Eli are not my family and I am only returning back to my people I have been American since I was four, since our so called father abandoned me after he had finished using me as his personal punching bag." Ziva says angrily.
"You were week still are, you so called family will discover that realise just how pathetic you are and treat you how you should to be treated." Ari tells Ziva as Fornell and Callen hold Gibbs back, stopping him from ripping the phone out of Ziva's hand.
"Why are you calling me Ari, you must know that this call is being traced?" Ziva asks wanting to know what he is up to.
"Are yes your sister." Ari say with venom "Abigail isn't it such a lovely girl, your sister you are closes to if I am not mistaken it would be such a shame if something was to happen to her." Ari tells her.
"Don't you dare threaten her." Ziva tells him beginning to really lose her cool.
"Young Abigail's fate is up to you, bring yourself to me accept whatever fate I wish to give and your sister will be safe." Ari tells her.
"Where and when?' Ziva asks without a second of hesitation.
"Rock creek park, five kilometres from the edge of the boundary along the river 3pm and Ziva come along I know if you don't, things won't end well for your family if you forget that." Ari tells her.
"I'll be there and I'll be alone." Ziva tells Ari before hanging up the phone.
"Ziva you can't he'll kill you" Abby says throwing her arms around her little sister.
"I can't let anything happen to you Abs." Ziva tells her.
"Nothing is going to happen to either of you, I'll make sure of that." Gibbs says hugging both his daughters and giving them a kiss on each of their cheeks.
"He'll kill all of you if I don't go alone Dad I won't risk you guys." Ziva tells her father.
"Ziver we are a family, families protect each other I will not let you go in there alone, and nothing is going to happen to any of us, I have a plan." Gibbs tells his daughter pulling his daughter into his arms running her hand through her hair furious about what that basted is threatening, no one threatens his family.
