WASHINGTON NAVY YARD, NCIS, MORGUE; MAY 24, 2010, 14:00

Tony, Ziva and Gibbs entered the morgue to find Ducky covering the body they had exhumed out of Kate's grave. With Gibbs was Alexandria and Michael Todd…Kate's parents.

"Ducky…you remember Alex and Mike Todd."

"Yes I do," Ducky looked at them; they eyed the body covered in a sheet. Both looked at the body and Kate's mother asked the horrible question

"Was it my daughter, was it my Caitlin?"

Ducky took the woman's hand and eyed her, "no, this is not your daughter. Kate is alive we believe and we also believe you have a grandchild."

"I am Ziva David." Ziva looked at them, "we believe my brother married your daughter…I believe I am your daughter's sister-in-law. As tradition in Israel…a family member escorts the berated or lucky couple home after an identification…as Kate's sister-in-law…I will take you home."

"Israel…was your brother…" Mike eyed her, "was he Jewish?"

"Yes but I believe he loved your daughter very much, we have this of Kate's." Tony handed her the scrapbook, "in it you will find handwritten notes from my brother to Kate as well as photos. Come, I will take you home." She placed an arm out toward the door and Alex hugged her after taking the scrapbook.

"Thank you Miss David…you have given us hope…that your brother has taken her from death."

She nodded and walked with them out of the morgue. Tony smiled and Gibbs eyed him.

"What's that smirk from?"

"Ziva being the new Ziva…full of emotion and kindness."

"Let's find them." Gibbs turned to leave but McGee and Abby came rushing in. "What?"

"We know where they are and you won't believe where." Abby looked at McGee and they both spoke.

"Rockville, Maryland."

Abby waved her hand, "its only thirty minutes away…we can go there today but I suggest we wait…"

"For what dear girl?" Ducky came over and looked at her, "five years is too long."

"What Abby means is we should make sure Ari is Ari before we proceed…just in case we're wrong and it's just Kate." McGee looked at her, "we don't want to do anything that could cause her more pain."

Gibbs sighed and placed his hands on McGee and Abby's shoulders, "for once I agree." The three went up and Gibbs eyed Abby as they entered the elevator. "How shall we pass the time?"

"I could finish the story once Ziva gets back from taking Kate's parents home."

"Good idea, we should know what occurred before we rush in." McGee smiled, all chuckling.
