Thank you for your reviews for the last chapter. It reached 60 reviews :D

This is the conversation between Rivka and Ziva, it also has Ziva telling Ray to back off.

btw, To all the reader of my other story - Rule Ten: Never get personally involved in a case - I am going to update soon, I'm nearly finished the chapter.

Disclaimer: Not Mine

Ziva opened the door and walked in with purpose. "Ziva," One voice said, Tony briefly wondered if Ziva would let him kill Ray. He didn't hate that voice much until that moment. She, Ziva, was going to date him, Tony, not other him, Ray. He was glad she was going to end it.

"Where have you been?" he asked.

Ziva ignored him and talked to her mother, "When were you going to tell me?" she said.

"Ziva, you have to understand-" Rivka began.

"No I don't, I do not care what the situation was, I do not care if I never saw him, it would have been nice to know," Ziva said.

"What happened?" McGee asked Tony.

"A lot of things, I just hope she doesn't kill her mother," Tony replied.

"Hey!" yelled Gibbs, effectively gaining the attention of both women who turned to look at him. Ziva had nothing but fire in her eyes and Rivka had sadness.

"Is someone going to fill us in?" his question more of a demand than an actual question.

"I found out I have been lying to my entire life," Ziva said.

"That is not true, Ziva,"

"What would you like to call it, miscommunication?" she snapped back

"David!" Gibbs exclaimed he didn't what was being said but he knew the conversation was getting heated. That stopped Ziva from talking, "You need to calm down,"

"Why do you think I did not come straight back here," she yelled at Gibbs.

"Don't yell at me," Gibbs said. Ziva's face was like stone.

She turned and addressed her mother again, "I would like to know, why?" Ziva asked not really looking like she did.

"We were not married at the time, Ziva; my father took him away from us. Gave him to another family. After that we decided to get married. We did a year after he was born and a year before you were," Rivka explained.

"Still what did you think? That Tali and I wouldn't have cared? That we would have run away?" she asked.

"You did run away, Ziva and look at yourself now," Rivka replied, remaining calm.

"I ran away for other reasons than that - clearly, I didn't know about him! And look at me know? I'm pissed off because no one told me anything!"

"Well, Ziva you never told me the reason why you ran away, care to share?" Rivka asked.

That shook Ziva a little. She kept the reason she ran away a secret for years, really only one other person knew. She wanted to keep it that way; she would be looked down on if anyone - especially her mother now and her father if he were still alive - knew. She would do anything to avoid it. Not that she was ashamed, "Do not change the topic. We are not talking about me, we are talking about the brother I never knew I had. Tell me, did Ari know?" Ziva said. Rivka didn't say anything, "He did," Ziva said, "Tali did not, if she did she would have told me," Ziva said.

"Ziva, listen to me!" Rivka yelled. Ziva stopped and looked at her mother, "I didn't tell you because I didn't know where he was, all I knew was that he lived in Israel until he was about ten, then he moved to America. When he was seventeen the people who adopted him told him he was adopted. He tracked down Eli and me, but he didn't have anything else but names. You were fifteen and Tali was fourteen. Eli and I were not together at that time. He was a lot easier to tack down and get in contact with because of his rank. When he was twenty he came to see Eli. I have never met him," Rivka explained.

"What part of America?" Ziva asked.

"Washington DC," She replied.

"Oh, this just keeps getting better and better," Ziva said to her self.

"What do you mean?"

"I live in DC, ever thought to have told me?" she asked.

"Ziva I didn't even know whether you were dead or alive, how was I meant to tell you had a brother?"

"How about the other night at dinner?" Ziva asked.

"Too many other people,"

"What difference does that make? I would have told them anyway,"

"Look I'm sorry but I have a lot to get my head around, you are going to have to give me some time, I will call you when I am ready," Ziva said as she walked down the hall.

Ray put his arm out to stop her, "Ziva, can we talk?" he asked quietly.

"Yeah, we can talk. I am no longer with you, I would be happy to never see you again. So no we cannot talk!" she yelled.

"What?" he asked.

"You heard me; you used me, lied to me, and now you want me back. Well I have news for you: It is not going to happen," she said, "Get out of my way," she demanded as she moved his hand out of the way then a few seconds later they heard the door slam shut.

"I think I will go back home. It was nice meeting you all," Rivka said as she walked out. Gibbs followed after her.

"Maybe I should talk to Ziva later," Ray said, "Unless there's a real reason she is breaking up with me," he said looking at Tony.

"Of course there's a real reason. You're a lying bastard, she's not stupid," McGee defended before Tony had a chance to. Now, Tony wouldn't have even been able to say anything, he was surprised in what McGee had just said, he had never heard him say anything like that.

"Excuse me?" Ray said.

"You were going through her phone - trust betRayed once. Showing up at Mossad days after her father's death - trust betRayed twice. Finding profiles of her and her father - trust betRayed thrice. You're not very good at picking women," he stated. Even Tony had to look at him strangely. He would pick Ziva out of all the living women in the world.

McGee felt the eyes of both men on him, "What I mean is, if you wanted to lie to someone, maybe it would have been better to chose some other than Ziva. She definitely not the stupid one, if it's anyone, it's you for lying to her in the first place," McGee said.

"Maybe she should have been able to pick that I was lying to her," Ray said.

"So you were lying. No wonder she's leaving you," he said. As soon as he finished a fist came in contact with his face.

His nose gushed with blood. From behind Tony they heard a glass break from someone dropping it, "McGee!" Ziva said.

Both Tony and Ziva went to his side as he stumbled backwards, "Are you okay?" she asked as they both steered him to the lounge. Tony went to the kitchen to get the box of tissues and Ziva sat next to him on her knees, facing him.

"Are you okay, Tim?" she asked again.

"Yeah, fine," he replied, "How long had you been there?" he asked.

"Long enough to know I have great friends," she smiled. She looked up at Ray, "You better go before I decide to hurt you," she said sternly as Tony came back with the box of tissues, a damp cloth, and a small plastic bag to put the used tissues in. McGee rested his head back on the back of the lounge.

Tony handed McGee the tissues and McGee held them to his nose while saying, "What in the world possessed you to do that?"

"Ziva said it was over and he wasn't going to leave her," he justified.

"You didn't have to do that, I am more than capable of doing that myself," she said.

"Don't care," he murmured, "Do you think it's broken?" he asked.

Ziva moved his hands away from his face and looked and touched his face in certain places, "I don't think so, just bruised," she said softly.

"Ziva will come around you know, she has had a lot to deal with in the past week," Gibbs said as Rivka got to her car.

"Are you saying that you know my daughter better than me?" she asked as she opened the door.

Gibbs shut the door again, "No, I just know that she has changed since she has left Mossad," he said.

"Ziva has always been stubborn; she will not ring me until next month,"

"I will make sure she calls you before she leaves Israel," he said opening the door for her again. She stepped in and he closed the door.

Gibbs watched her leave then went back into the house to see McGee with his head tilted back and tissues held to his face with Tony and Ziva sitting either side of him.

"What the hell happened?" Gibbs said.

"Cruz was saying he wouldn't leave Ziva alone so McGee told him to leave her, he hit McGee. Clearly, he didn't like what Tim had to say," Tony said.

Gibbs shrugged, "All this time I picked DiNozzo to be bashed by the CIA," Tony looked at him blankly, "You have to call your mother before you leave Israel Ziva," he said in a way she knew it wasn't a request.

I was going to have Ray punch Tony, but then figured that I may have neglected McGee a bit so I had Ray hit McGee instead. So its not me getting him beat up because I don't like him because I do - his character needed something to happen, and I believe that if it came down to it McGee would get defensive of Ziva.

Any way, what do you think?
