NCIS HQ, 1:05 pm
''Ziva'' The girl whispered.
''Ah. So you do know her'' Tony concluded. ''Who is she to you?''
''How is that any of your business?'' The girl snapped. She had clearly a temper and wasn't one to speak much about her life.
''Well, you see. Ziva is my coworker—'' Tony began but was cut off.
That got the girls attention. She looked at him with interest. ''She is? Why isn't she in Israel?'' She asked.
''She was here as a Mossad Liaison Officer attached to NCIS. But now she's very sick. It's a long story, but she ended up in Somalia—'' Tony began to explain. It seemed like this girl knew and was very interested in Ziva. But eventually she cut him off.
''No. She can't be, she wasn't in Somalia. I would have known that!'' The girl said. Tears threatened to fall, but she regained herself.
''Wait? How do you know Ziva then, if you didn't know she was in Somalia?'' Tony was confused. He had thought that she would know her from there.
The girl didn't answer. She only crawled deeper into the corner. ''How is Ziva sick?'' She asked.
Tony raised her eyebrows. ''She's dealing with the sight effects of her time there. She physically is alright, except for her some older (and newer) bruises and wounds, but her head is a mess. For the rest I'm not telling you the details'' He explained.
''I know the feeling'' She murmured.
Tony didn't know what to say to that. Did she meant, that she was sick too mentally? The sight effects? What had the girl been through? AAAGH! He just wanted to know!
He just kept looking at the girl that had her knees to her chin and her arms wrapped around herself. The bruises and scars on her arms were similar to Ziva's.
''She had to be there. She had to be in Somalia too. But what happened? She couldn't be there for this whole time, could she?'' Tony tought.
A throat clearing pulled him out of his thoughts. He turned to look and saw Gibbs leaning against the door frame.
''Do we have a name yet?'' He asked.
''No. For now. I'm going to call her 'Little Ninja'. I think its appropriate. Taking out three men in this state. You have to be very strong for that'' He said. A soft smile appearing on his face. The girl gave him a look, but she didn't say anything.
''Tony? A word'' Gibbs said and walked out of the room.
''Will be right back'' Tony told the girl and walked out the room, closing the door behind him.
''Talk to me Tony. What do you know?'' Gibbs asked.
''Well, She knows Ziva. But she didn't know Ziva was in Somalia. So that's not it. Then again, I have the strong feeling that I know her too. Its confusing'' Tony explained and rubbed his hand over his forehead.
Gibbs grabbed the cellphone out of Tony pocket and went through the phone numbers. Tony was confused. When Gibbs gave the phone back, Tony looked at the number. *Ziva home*. He smiled inside, closed the call and called his house instead. Gibbs narrowed his eyes, unsure of what Tony just did.
Tony's apartment, 1:30 pm
Ziva was playing the piano, like always around this time of the day. She was enjoying it very much and her playing the song, she wanted to show Tony, was almost near perfect. She knew the lyrics out of her head and she could almost do the whole piano music without an mistake.
While she was singing the song, she almost couldn't hear the phone ringing, but she did after 3 rings and quickly ran over to his house phone.
''DiNozzo residence, Ziva'' She answered happily
''Ziva...'' Tony was unsure what to say. What did Gibbs want from her.
''What's wrong Tony?'' Ziva asked worried. She heard something like ''Give me that phone'' On the other side of the line.
''Ziver! It's Gibbs'' He said.
''Uhm... hi. I'm fine if that is was you wanted to know'' She reassured him.
''That's good to know, but.. We're sort of have a situation here. I was wondering if you could come over here'' Gibbs asked. She heard Tony say: ''What? Are you sure that's a good idea? Ow!''
''Tony just got an head slap, didn't he?'' Ziva asked.
''Yup. But do you want to come? We kinda really need you'' Gibbs asked.
''Does is involves a case, because—'' Ziva wanted to asked, but was cut off.
''No. No case. It's complicated. You will see when you get here'' Gibbs said.
''Uhm.. alright I'll be there. Give me 30 minutes'' Ziva said.
''Kay. Bye'' Gibbs said and with that he hung up.
''What was that all about?'' Ziva said to herself. ''Maybe there are going to talk to you, about that you can't go back to work there anymore. You have to go back to your father'' The voice said.
''No they would not do that'' Ziva stated, stubbornly.
Since she was sent away on her... suicide mission, she hadn't talked to her father since then. She hated her father for it and would let him know too. Sure he was aware that Ziva was still alive. Eli was friends with Vance, but that didn't mean, he wasn't dead to her.
She sighed and grabbed her coat, then she walked out of the apartment.

Hallway, NCIS HQ
''Tony!'' Abby's voice rang through the hallway as she made her way to the two man. ''McGee told me what happened. How is the girl? Is she alright? Has Ducky checked her out? Please say she's alright!''
''ABBS!'' Tony called out to shut her up. ''She's not fine. She just had a muesli bar and she threw up, when she woke up. It's like Somalia, all over again.. only different'' He said. His voice getting softer and softer with every word.
Abby looked at him.
''What are you doing up here Abby?'' Gibbs changed the subject a bit.
''Oh. Right. Well, I ran the fingerprints, but the file is blocked and secured. McGee is busy with it now. He's having really problems with it. It's frustrating him that he can't get through. But still I have no match, so still no name'' Abby said to them.
''Do we know, who the file belongs too?'' Tony asked.
''No. still not a clue. It's pretty big cover, if even McGee has trouble with it'' Abby said. The men nodded.
Tony let out a deep sigh.
''What's wrong Tony?'' she asked worried.
''There's just something about her. I know her! I really do, I saw her before!'' Tony was certain of it.
''Where?'' Abby asked.
Suddenly Tony went silent. Abby and Gibbs looked at each other. The look on Tony's face, was a look of thinking.. really thinking. Thinking everything over in his head. From point number one to number thousand something. And when he does that, they know he has an idea or an gut feeling. At the moment they looked at him again. He widened his eyes. Like a lamp figure began to shine above his head.
A head slap brought him back to reality.
''Spill it DiNozzo'' Gibbs said to him.
''Gibbs. Will you hold Ziva for a minute when she comes? I need to speak to Little Ninja'' Tony said. Gibbs gave him an skeptical look. Tony sighed. ''I tell you later. Just...trust me on this one, okay?'' Tony said.
Gibbs looked at him one more time, before nodding and Tony entered the room again.
''What do you think he's thinking?'' Abby asked Gibbs.
''I really have not a clue. But I know that he's right, with whatever he thinks'' Gibbs told him. ''Getting coffee. You go back and help McGee!'' He said and walked away.

Labby, 1:40 pm
''Timmy!'' Abby yelled over the overly load music, which wasn't hers. She walked over to the stereo and turned it off.
''Hey! I was listening to that!'' McGee snapped as his head came from behind the computer.
''That isn't music, McGee! Don't ever to that to my technical friends again'' Abby demanded as she patted one of the machines. She walked over to him, when he let out a deep sigh. ''Still not found a way in?''
''No!'' McGee said frustrated. ''I don't understand! I never had some much difficulties, since...'' He trailed off. His face showing the same thinking-face as Tony.
''Since when, McGee?'' Abby wanted to know.
''Since... the Haswari Case... I didn't get into the Mossad files!'' He remembered. ''Now that I think about it. It's the same system. I am trying to find a way in ever since than. But just like this time, I couldn't get in!''
''You think that Mossad is after this? Eli is after this?'' Abby reasoned.
''After what?'' A female voice said. McGee and Abby's head shot up. They saw Ziva standing in the door frame. ''What has my father done now?''
Abby and McGee were both shocked at her entrance. ''Oh Shit! I forgot about that she would come'' Abby thought. ''Ziva! Oh my Gosh! It's so good to see you!'' Abby squealed, changing the subject. She ran over to Ziva and gave her friend one of her famous Abby hugs.
''I'm.. Fine.. Abbs... Trouble... breathing'' She patted Abby on her back and Abby pulled back.
''Sorry! Well how's life? Can you handle living on your own again?'' Abby asked.
''It's going just fine Abby'' she looked at McGee, who gave her an smirk. Then her face turned serious. ''So what's this about Mossad and my father?'' She said sternly.
''Well it's a long story Ziva'' McGee said.
''In case you haven't noticed, I have plenty of time, sitting 'at home'. So start talking'' Ziva demanded.
''Well. It was a normal boring morning, at NCIS this morning. Like you will know, We didn't have a case this whole week!'' McGee started to explain. ''Just after lunch break, we were still working on paperwork'' He was cut off by Abby.
''well the most of you... Tony was playing around, throwing paper balls at Timmy'' Abby explained. McGee rolled his eyes.
''Yes.. thanks for the memory'' He said. Ziva held in a laugh. ''So after Gibbs had threatened him, with pushing the paper balls up in his ass. He started working again. Half an hour later the other team of this floor came up. They were fighting a girl. She seemed furious, full of fear too, so Gibbs went to them and Tony and I just kept watching the scene''
''Gibbs asked what was wrong and they told him, that she had stabbed one of the employees down in the restaurant, plus taking out 2 extra agents'' He said.
''Wow.. strong girl?'' Ziva asked.
''Sounded like it yeah. But after Gibbs had told them he would take care of it, The girl just fainted in his arms. He called Tim and Tony and when they got there. They saw the girl really good'' Abby said.
''What do you mean?'' Ziva frowned.
''She is broken, Ziva. She has bruises and scars all over, her clothes are ripped and full with dirt. And she is way, way too skinny. She even threw up, after only one muesli bar and a half bottle of water. And no one can touch her. She freaks when you come close. The only one who, succeeded to be in the room, more that 10 minutes, are Ducky and Tony'' McGee said.
Ziva was listening to this and didn't like it one bit. It brought up too many memories of her time with Ducky after she came back out of Somalia.
''actually.. Tony is with her right now'' Abby added.
''He's the most frustrated of all of us'' McGee said
''Why?'' Ziva asked. She was interested.
''He is sure that he has seen the girl before'' Abby said. ''She doesn't want to tell us her name. She's too scared and doesn't trust us. But the whole time Tony is thinking about it and its getting to him''
''He knows her?'' Ziva asked in disbelieve.
''It's not what you think. He says its not a one night stand or something. He can't remember where he knows her from''
''Where is he? I want to speak with him'' Ziva demanded.
''He's in the room, with the bed. In the hall, that leads you to the vending machine's. Gibbs should be waiting outside'' Abby said.
Without another word she turned on her heels and took off, leaving McGee and Abby alone again. It took them a second, but then they regained their thoughts and went back to work.
…..
Hallway, 2:05 pm
Gibbs was patiently waiting in the hall, when he heard the sound of feet running. He recognized the sound. The way they ran. It was Ziva, he knew that. He stood up and waited for her to come around the corner. When she finally did, he knew, that McGee and Abby had filled her in, as much as they knew.
''Gibbs!'' She called as soon as came around the around the conner and saw him. She ran to him. ''Gibbs where's Tony. Is he in there?'' She pointed at the door.
''Yeah he is. He's talking to the mysterious girl. Do you know anything about this?'' Gibbs asked.
''No. Abby and McGee filled me in. How does Tony know her?'' Ziva asked.
''I don't know. You have to wait until he's outside. If she sees anyone else, we will have an Ninja on the loose. Tony called her Little Ninja for now'' Gibbs explained.
Ziva raised her eyebrows about that, but didn't say anything. They waited for another ten minutes when Tony finally came out and closed the door silently behind him. The look on his face was unreadable.
''Hi sweety'' Tony said to Ziva without realizing it. He gave her a sad smile. Gibbs looked surprised about the nickname, but kept silent.
''Uhm.. hi Tony'' Ziva said awkward.
''I really don't know, how to tell her story'' Tony said. ''But I can tell you that, what I was thinking was right'' He said looking at Gibbs.
''You know her?'' Gibbs asked. ''You have an name?''
''Yup'' Tony took a deep breath.
''Well? Who is it then?'' Ziva asked.
''Ziva...'' Tony started, but trailed off. ''How am i suppose to tell her this?''
