The Truth

Naomi flickered her eyes open. She flinched at the sudden input of light. She felt her arms restricted behind her. What had happened?
"Good, your awake." Came Tony's irritable voice. "Snore like a drunken sailor. Your worse than Ziva." This last comment flicked Naomi's brain on.
"How the hell do you know what Ziva snoring sounds like?"
"None of your business," Tony replied annoyed.
"Ah, you are awake." A voice came. Naomi sat up and tried to turn her head to see him. "Now the fun can begin."
"Here comes our gracious host." Tony muttered sarcastically. Naomi tittered nervously.
"Ah, Miss Waters. You cannot see me. I apologies for my lack of manners." He stepped forward. Naomi gasped. She had known that her aunt was a fantastic drawer but this was something else.

Start flashback
Naomi was peering into her aunt's bedroom. Her aunt had a dressing gown tight around he and she was curled up on her bed drawing frantically. She didn't hear Naomi until she was looking over her shoulder.
"Who is that?" Naomi asked looking at the picture.
"Do you really want to know?" Kate replied softly.
"It's Ari isn't it?"
"Yes,"
"Why?" Naomi asked desperately. "How could you draw a terrorist?"
"You don't understand do you?" Kate muttered. "How could you? You hopefully never will." She paused. Naomi wanted to interrupt but Kate kept talking. "You don't understand. You don't understand what it is like to see his face every night. To scream and scream but nobody comes to get you. You can't get out. Not at all." She paused again, staring at the picture. "He is evil, yet… fascinating." She sighed. "I'll shut up now. I'm making no sense."

Abby looked at the screen. There was nothing. Nothing at all. No fingerprints on the gun. No footmarks. Zero. Zilch.
"I got nothing Gibbs." She said downheartedly without turning around. Gibbs sighed. Even he had noticed how depressed the team was. He wasn't surprised. "What am I gonna do Gibbs?" Abby asked quietly. "Tony has been kidnapped and I can't help him."
"There is nothing you can do." Gibbs replied. "Except wait and pray." Abby gave a small smile.
"Never knew you prayed." Abby muttered.
"I don't. If there is a god he as sure as hell isn't worth praying to." Abby laughed. Such a Gibbs reply.

"Naomi! Naomi! Wake up!" Tony called. She blinked. "Are you OK?"
"Fine, fine" She muttered.
"Good, you are awake. Can't have you missing your debut." The man smiled maliciously.
"What are we to call you? We need a name. Can't keep calling you creepy guy." Naomi asked.
"No, please call me Herbert." He replied. They laughed.
"What type of name is Herbert?" Tony asked laughing.
"My name," He replied coolly. "And I would greatly appreciate it if you didn't laugh, Anthony DiNozzo." He said turning and pointing a gun at Tony. He gulped. "And you, Miss Waters. I would expect better of you. You know better then to tease people because of their names, I believe?" Naomi swallowed. What had she become?
"I want answers! I don't care whatever your name is. I what answer Mr. No name." Naomi asked fiercely.
"And you shall get them," He smiled. He sighed. "How much like my dear sister Lizzie you are." Naomi gasped in horror.
"Your Daniel!" She whispered. He nodded happily.
"Yes, you are correct Miss Waters. Now we are introduced you can ask me some questions. We have plenty of time." This ominous warning didn't enter Naomi's head, she was angry with him.
"I got one," Tony interrupted. "Why the hell are we here?"
"Ah, Mr DiNozzo," He said calmly. "You must remember to be calm. You will understand everything in due course."
"Like hell I..."
"Why," Naomi started. "Why did you beat up my Mum? She had done nothing to you."
"I did nothing to her."
"She was in counselling for six years! You obviously did something!"
"I did nothing to her." He repeated. Naomi laughed.
"Yeah right."

McGee was searching the security tapes. Ziva had gone home early. McGee did have a clue why.
Start Flashback
"Ziva, you know Naomi didn't mean that." McGee had said trying to comfort her.
"She did. You know she did." Ziva had replied.
"She didn't! Look, you can't blame her for being upset! She has had a very strange week, her uncle has been killed, and she has been shot at. She is just a normal girl! She is only seventeen!"
"I faced a lot worse at seventeen." Ziva had retorted.
"Well she is not you." McGee pointed out. Ziva had left silently.
End Flashback
He wondered if he had been too harsh. Anyway, where was Naomi?

Naomi glared at Daniel. They had passed half an hour in silence. Tony had started moaning about the Magnum episodes that he was missing. He had a gag put in his mouth so he could talk. Silence had taken over after that.
"So I'm guessing that you murdered my uncle." Naomi asked quietly.
"Murdered is such an ugly word." Daniel mussed. "I prefer, hmm, dispatched."
"And what about my Uncle Nathan? Did you kill him? I know you disappeared fifteen years ago when he died."
"Nathan committed suicide."
"Yeah, like hell he did. We both know he didn't. Just like we both know that you hate hugs."
"I do as a matter of fact. I hate them. Anyway, I would ask you what you mean but this is getting very tedious. I did, as you say, murder him." He paused and thought for a second. "D you know how easy it is to kill someone? Very easy, especially if you are a drug dealer."
"And you are?"
"Yes, I jointed a Mexican drug ring after I got hooked at my University, Edinburgh Medical College. It was quite interesting actually, I became a hit man you see."
"How many people did you kill?"
"Many, but one of my first was a wife and daughter."
"And what had they done? Walk across a street? Wear the wrong colour?"
"No, they had witnessed a murder. The murderer was called Pedro Hernandrez, my Boss at that time."
"He sent you to kill them?"
"Yes, and I did."
"What were their names?"
"Shannon and Kelly Gibbs. The girl was eight years old."

Ziva sunk deeper into the bath. Had they been right? Was she being to judgemental? Had she made the wrong choice? Should she have told Naomi earlier?
"Tali! What should I do?" She muttered desperately.
"You can't blame her." Tali told her.
"Oh, another one who doesn't support me Achoti." My sister
"I do Achoti! But you must understand her at least?"
"I do."
"Al Tedag, achoti." Don't worry, my sister
"Tali! Don't leave me! Be'vakasha?" please
"Ani Mitzta'eret" I'm sorry
"Tali!!!"
"Le'hirta'ot Ziva." goodbye

"So you killed Gibbs wife and daughter." Naomi asked trying to act brave.
"Yes, and many other people. It was good as Gibbs shot Pedro and I became leader." He smiled.
"What about my Mum?" Naomi asked. "Tell me you didn't have a hand in that."
"Ah, but I did." He said satisfactorily. "I injected her with a poison that caused cancer. She died suspicion free."
"You deserve to die." Naomi was almost crying. Mum, can you hear me. I miss you. I miss you a lot. She wanted to stop, to scream. She hated the man sitting coolly in front of her. She hated him with every fibre of her body. Why did you die mum? Can't you see I need you? I don't know what to do. I never know what to do.
"But who is going to do it? Gibbs, McGee? The Israeli girl, Ziva?"
"My Aunt Kate died to put people like you away. Did you know that? Your own sister? She died, do you even care?" He laughed softly. Naomi closed her eyes in despair. "Please tell me you didn't have anything to do with that."
"That was too easy." He said smiling happily. "I didn't have to do anything with that one. I knew a man at My University. He was a friend of mine. I knew he had sympathy with the terrorists."
"Ari Haswari."
"Very good, someone has been doing their homework."
"I guessed."
"Well, anyway, when he joined NCIS I feed him information that NCIS, the agency that I knew my sister was working for, was very close to uncovering his terrorist cell. Gibbs team in Particular."
"And that is how you murdered my Aunt Kate." Naomi said unemotionally. She had to admit it had been a good plan. "And now me."
"And now you." Daniel agreed. "And Mr. DiNozzo."

Gibbs walked into the Lab. "Talk to me, McGee."
"Well boss, I have found the van that got Tony but I lost it."
"What do you mean you lost it?"
"Well, he drove though a part of town with no CTTV."
"Well…"
"I am looking at surrounding areas trying to catch him again."
"Abs?"
"Car was hired Gibbs. Well, a stolen hired car."
"Abby!!"
"Sorry Boss man. No pictures of him either."
"Nothing?"
"Nothing at all Gibbs." Abby confirmed. What had Kate said? 'Treat this like a normal case.' She had told him. What did she mean by that? Weren't they treating this like a normal case?
"Abs, check Petty Officer John Dale's family again." Abby fiddled around on the keyboard and bought it up.
"Two sisters. Both deceased. Two other brothers'. One dead fifteen years ago and one went missing around that time too."
"Bring up the missing one."
"Daniel Todd. Went to Edinburgh Medical School. Blah, blah, blah. Nothing here, Gibbs."
"He is the one." Gibbs said firmly.
"The murderer?" McGee asked.
"No, the cabbie."
"Sorry Boss."
"Why?" Abby asked. Gibbs pointed at a picture. It was from his time at University. It showed Daniel and someone else.
"That's Ari!" Abby yelled.
"Where's Naomi?" Gibbs asked. "Get her to a safe house."
"Umm… Boss." McGee said tentatively.
"Naomi left a few hours ago."
