Hi, hope you like this chapter. Please review, lots of readers but not many reviews. Trying to figure out what it means! Decided to have Eyal deal with what is happening in his country. It would impossible for him not to be affected by it. Also the plot of my storyline was though out before the uprising in Israel took place. I just added a couple of real facts to make it more believable. Sometime reality really crosses path with fiction!
Chapter 28 - It's not always a Wonderful World
"Softly, he inhales and exhales as we kiss. He never stops kissing me; he simply continues to steal my breath, returning it to me only when he's infused it with his essence. Pure lust lives inside him. Every breath I take should come from his lungs" C.
Eyal reluctantly broke off their kiss. "Love, we need to get back to work."
As he was pulling away, Sharon caught a glimpse of a shadow in his eyes or more a certain sadness she couldn't explain. As he exhaled softly, she pulled him back to her.
"Hey, something's not right, what is it?"
Surprised at her comment Eyal responded.
"It's personnel, not related to work and now is not the time to burden you with my humor swings. You, My Lady, are getting a bit too good at reading me." To that he brushed her face with the back of his hand.
Sharon was thinking 'I have to thread thin waters here. I can see he needs to talk but he's guarding himself… Time to bring a piece of that wall down. Like Gaby told me: 'Bring that wall down one piece at the time, Sharon, one piece at the time. If you don't, he'll stay where he's safe. Get him to get out of his comfort zone at all occasions you can.'
Putting herself between his blank stare and the cement wall, she said softly, not wanting to cross him in any way.
"Can I speak my mind?"
Eyal's response was a subtle tightening of his jaw as he accentuated his hold on her.
Sharon continued "It's personal, meaning family or your country. Seeing the present situation, I'm guessing the later – your country."
Looking at him she knew she was on the right track, so she continued.
"Eyal… Israel survived a lot. I can't judge this uprising but I'm guessing you have questions that put you in a tuff spot."
"Sharon stop, remember we are on a mission, it has to be our priority …."
"Eyal… Making a mission a priority when you have an internal struggle will only eat you up! If I'm not mistaken your Talmud has a teaching that says: "The world can be in turmoil, but a person can be at peace with himself. To attain internal equilibrium, focus on the needs of your soul."
"You, a Catholic are citing the Talmud to me! Sharon what did you do, learn it by heart?"
Eyal had to admit he was surprised at her citation… very… very appropriate for his state of mind.
Sharon rolled her eyes "Have a good memory plus was once in a mission with a colleague of yours. Our missions crossed, he had to pass as a Rabbi and me for an orphan/adopted young women looking for her parents. We joined forces without our agencies knowing about it, a bit like you and Annie often do! Lots of downtime on that mission so I helped him by reading Talmud passages to him. Sorry to say, he was not a good learner!"
"Do you remember the name of that colleague?"
"Mishka Mishal, never met up with him again."
"Figures, he's dead. Died in a mission that went terribly wrong about 5 years ago."
"Sorry to hear of that. Remember laughing a lot on that mission… he wasn't very good at learning his role… but he was a master for fighting/talking his way out of sticky situations. Saved my hide a couple of times in that mission."
"Yes, that's how I remember him also. By the way, what version of the Talmud do you have?"
Sharon smiled at him knowing full well he was stalling "A recent one, with modern pictures! It was published in 2012, the Koren Talmud Bavli… I think."
"Know of it, it's the version with commentaries by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz. I'm impress and looking forwards to taking time reading it together! That is if you want to, no obligations whatsoever!"
"That's a date I'll hold you to but let's get back to the matter at hand: Israel remember….I'm guessing that for the first time in your career, you are not in 'the circle of trust'. You're getting information about Israel's attacks and counter attacks as we are: In the news and by word of mouth from you colleagues. Normally, you'd be in some kind of Mossad even Kidon related mission. To summarise it: You're feeling helpless, left out, guilty, plus you are worried about your team's security, aren't you?
As he heard Sharon's question, he swallowed hard. Sharon closed her eyes for a second, pained at seeing his inner struggle.
Eyal sensed his abs tightened and had he not been well trained for guarding himself, fear and maybe even a touch of panic could have set in. Sharon had nailed his state of mind 100% correctly. Meeting up, first with Annie and then Sharon, he had come to the conclusion that, for him, to have a serious relationship, it could only be with another spy. The downside of that conclusion had just hit him full force: A spy is trained to read people adding to that, Sharon had, more and more, an intimate knowledge of his persona. To make matters worse while on 'parental leave' she had been one of MI-6's debriefing agent for many years... meaning she not only could read targets, assets but also other spies. He realized he could no longer hide/protect himself behind that wall he had built, what he didn't know: Was he ready to be 'read'; Was he willing/capable of sharing his inner feelings and thoughts; Was he ready to accept help and last but not least, was it possible for him to love freely while not always in control.
Sharon turned him towards her "You're hurting, I can feel it, please let me in. I might not have solutions but I'd like to share your pain/doubts!"
"Darling, I love you dearly and what you just said shook me more than you can imagine but I / we just can't. We have work to do, it has to be our priority. I've had struggles before in missions and work always came first. Don't worry about me, it'll pass."
How could she get him to share some of his worries with her? An old personal souvenir resurfaced: The last conversation she had had with her mother. Before leaving for her mission, her mother was asking repeatedly why Sharon has such a long face –"Baby, if you can't spare 5 minutes of your thoughts to be open and honest with me, well I'll be going on this mission thinking I have failed in my role as a mother."
That phrase had made Sharon open up and had she not, she would never had heard her mother's so important words. Those words had got her through numerous bad moments.
"Baby, my job is dangerous and like a song I know 'I can't and never will promise you a rose garden'. What I can say is that I'll always love and take care of you, wherever I am! If ever something happens to me, I'll be sending you whispers when you need them the most. Always believe in your 6th sense, that's where I'll be watching out for and guiding you!"
Sharon looked at Eyal and repeated a phrase she had had in her head for now 28 years:
"Eyal, if you can't take the time to share 5 minutes of your thoughts and/or struggles with me, I don't have what it takes to be your true Bashert!"
Eyal cupped his face with his hands, rubbed his eyes and breathed profoundly before addressing Sharon. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders and said softly.
"You, my dear, have quite a way with words. This is new for me, not in the habit of bearing my soul. Can't say that I'm comfortable with it but I'll try."
"Just voice your feelings out loud. Like a baseball received, I'll be here, Eyal!"
Eyal shook his head and took a deep breath "YOU are really taking me out of my comfort zone…. I'm torn, divided, call it what you want, between this present mission and what I feel is my duty to my country. When my country hurts, I hurt. I'm feeling guilty about not being on the front line for Israel and guilty about not giving my full attention to this mission. A no win situation! Abby, a newcomer, is a step ahead of me and that, must admit is grabbing at my …well…. at my ego! I don't want you to worry about me, you've got enough on your plate. I'll be OK, love, been there before an always get by alone, like a big boy!"
Gently, Sharon responded but before she sent a word or more a whisper to her mother 'Thanks mom, I owe you another one':
"They say it's always better with a friend. Look, Eyal, I can't explain why but I have a feeling, no…. it's more like a whisper that this mission is somehow related to Israel's present turmoil."
"Sharon, we are in Israel, it's a Jewish state… meaning everything can be mythologicaly related if you set your mind to it!"
"I have an inner voice that's telling me to keep this mission and Israel related. Don't know why but it's important, please get your mind thinking in that way. You've read my file… so you know that I sometimes have crazy ideas… well this is one of them Eyal. Bring this mission and your country in the forefront…. together."
Eyal just looked at her but didn't have the heart to tell her he wasn't grasping her line of thoughts.
"OK" Which was a very small white lie. He would, since she asked, think about it. Couldn't hurt as this point.
Eyal continued – "Thanks for caring, don't know if I'll ever get use to talking about my feelings or be able to share freely with you but please don't stop trying. I promise to try and open up."
They sealed that promise with a lingering lip kiss.
Eyal was the first to speak - "Now can we get back to Jacques… you know your 'boyfriend' Camilia!'
Sharon lifted her eye "Funny guy….! Think we should come clean with him?"
"I'd prefer you stay in the 'girlfriend' role for a little longer. We know there's nothing special out front about him. Still, I want you to get him to talk about his life in general, parents, school, work and other activities. You might stumble on something interesting. Could read him in but would have to build a trust between him and the rest of us, don't have that time. You have his trust, use it to our advantage."
"Hate keeping assets/targets in the dark when it is no longer necessary." Sharon teasing Eyal by pulling and undoing his tie knot. A move, she knew, annoyed him.
"Stop, you can be a pain when you set your mind to it! Work…mission, Jacques… remember the serious stuff! One sniper got away so both of you will need to be protected 24/7. MP and Jake1 are in the same situation. Abby seems to have a lead of some sort. Just hope her findings will clear up thing for you 4, if not…. it mean you are going into a 'protection plan, Eyal's style' "
"Protection plan… meaning I could be off grid for a while? hate that!
"Well… at least you'll be with your new young lover" Eyal shot her a teasing glance.
"Funny E…funny, see you can also be a pain! I'll read him in myself, if that happens. Not going to spend some down time with Jacques as a couple! I'm a bit to old… and taken… for 'playing the field' in that manner!"
Eyal smiled at Sharon and with a wink got back into his Bodyguard role
Now….now….. Mrs. Camilia, let me guide you to your date, he must be wondering where you are at." To that Eyal cuffed Sharon.
"E….. Not the cuffs again…you Mossad agent seem to always carry some with you! What did Camilia do now?"
"Follow my lead. My turn to have fun, Mrs. Douchebag!"
Sharon smiled shyly at him…. "Though you'd like that one! I always love giving my handlers hell on that front! Learned that skill from Robert, he's the best with 'wisecracks' remark!"
Eyal gave her his best 'I'm one step ahead of you' smile, pulled her near him, took her firmly by the arm and started talking to her loud enough for the team and Jacques to hear.
"Girl don't know what's in that head of yours but you do realise that those sniper's bullets were real. Mr. Guy never mentioned you being on a hit list of some sort! What did you do… go skinny dipping with a bomb tied to your body!? "
To that he firmly sat Sharon next to Jacques and transferred the cuffs from him to Jacques.
"OK, Boy and Girl, one of you or both is/are on a 'Wanted Dead' list. Who is it and what did you do? My friends here are all professionals and they can help… for a price that is. We can protect you and get you out of the country if needed but I want to know what I'll be up against."
Sharon turned her eyes at Eyal and said "Hey… You're cute but you need to put some lead in that pea brain of yours: I'm an artist… meaning no money. Mr. Guy is already paying YOU big bucks to keep ME out of trouble… so just do your job. Don't want to leave the country, I need the money this contract with the Cirque is paying me. As for that 'Wanted Dead' list ever think the shooter might want you…You're ex-Mossad… from what I read you guys have lots of enemies. Somebody might just want to tan your hide!"
Eyal put on a weasel smile and whispered close to her face "Don't believe everything you read. This country can be a very dangerous place for strangers. I won't hesitate one minute to give you to the dragons, so kill the pompous act and answer my questions properly!"
His tone of voice made Sharon shiver. Good acting more so went he added his immoral dark side to it. Eyal was proud of himself. He had sense Sharon's reaction to his 'mise en scène'. His turn to show her how it's done!
Eyal, not unnoticed to Sharon, had signaled Ziva to join in this discussion. Knowing Ziva, Sharon braced herself! Eyal wanted Jacques to feel some sympathy for 'Camilia' and Sharon had a feeling it was going to demand of her some tolerance to a bit of pain!
With excessive force Ziva pinned Sharon/Camilia's head to the wall. With her hand around Sharon/Camilia's neck, their eyes locked:
"Listen Mrs. Camilia, think you need to learn how to be polite and answer questions as they are asked. I'm not risking my life for a birdbrain of your kind. Eyal, let's get her to Mr. Guy, collect the money and let the sniper finish the job. It'll be for the best! As for Jacques, just let him go, he's Israeli meaning he can fence for himself. I don't come cheap and those two don't have the money to hire us!"
Eyal responded "Ziva, think we need to talk about what we can and cannot offer these two. Cuff them both on that water line and let's discuss this between us."
Again, Ziva took pleasure in cuffing them with excessive force.
The team members purposely left Camilia/Sharon and Jacques alone.
Jacques was the first to speak "Camy are you OK?"
"As well as can be with those two breathing down my neck. Have quite a bump on the back of my head and my wrists are burning from those cuffs. Don't know about you, but I didn't do anything worthy of somebody wanting me dead and I'm not that good of an artist for a competitor wanting to eliminate me! Déduction logique Watson; you're the target….. Jacques, why would somebody want you dead?"
"Camy, I don't know."
"Look, Bodyguard told me that he had seen you in some sort of tunnel with maybe terrorists, what were you doing there? Plus, you seemingly knew his girlfriend… I'm not as dumb as I seem, Jacques. I just don't strut around being the academic type… it doesn't go well with my choice of career."
"Camy, never thought you were dumb! It's more like you're two different persons. Look, like you, I needed money, a friend gave me a telephone number to call. They hired students to deliver messages in the multiple tunnels around Gaza. We got small envelopes, maps and cash payments. One trip to a tunnel paid 500$."
"500$…good money! Do you know who you are dealing with?'
"No, only talked on the phone once with a guy and since then, once a week I get a delivery at my locker with payment."
"OK, that explains your presence in the tunnel but not how you know Bodyguard's girlfriend?"
"Can't tell you that."
"Well, personally I don't care what you can or cannot tell me. I now know you're the one that was targeted, not me. Those people you work for might pay well but what's that going to give you if the end game is death! Tonight a professional sniper wanted to KILL both of us. We are ALIVE because I had security with me. Lucky for you! They're after you an I'm now collateral damage! So mister as I see it... You're a .Walking! Start talking or I'll leave Bodyguard have a go at you!"
That last phrase seemed to shake Jacques
"OK but I don't know much: When I went in the tunnels, I was always wired. A small invisible chip that I had to stick on my glasses plus a tiny device that went in my ear. If I met people, like the day I met Mr. Lavin, a voice would tell me what to say. I suppose they were seeing/hearing everything I did. The Voice seemed to know Mr. Lavin. I was told to say that he was a traitor and dating a spy from a rival agency. It got to him and must admit I was scared he was going to finish me off on the spot! Those eyes…! Next thing I knew guys came out of nowhere to grab Mr. Lavin and that Ziva girl. Mr. Lavin said something about guns and it suddenly clicked that I might be a messenger for gun traffickers. I asked out, don't want to be responsible for hurting people. Didn't do another run after that one."
"Jacques, did you think that that kind of money was for getting Hallmarks cards to soldiers! Think you'd better take my bodyguard's offer. Don't tell Douche Bag but seems he's the best for protecting people. I heard Monsieur Guy talking with his bosses at the Mossad when he asked for references! Look, I have a bit of money, between both of us, we could maybe hire him. I care about you plus you like Napoleon and that's huge with me. What do you think?"
In the next room, while listening in, Annie and Ziva were having fun at Eyal's expense.
"Well Douchebag, it seems you're the best!" Ziva was having the hardest of time keeping a straight face.
Annie wasn't better. "Eyal, I can think of many words I heard for describing you 'Conceded, egotistic but Douche Bag… that one is the best and sorry, think it's going to stay with you. It's so cute, just love how Sharon pronounces it, half English, half French! Eyal… can I, well we, just get it over with and have a good laugh…. We're all dying here!"
Eyal looked around and just gave in. He signed his team to have a good laugh at his expense… which they joyfully did! His thinking was 'they say laugh therapy is one of the best way to relieve stress, they need it, and I'll survive it, so what the heck!
Sharon was confident that she could get Jacques to confide in her. What he was saying was starting to be interesting, she needed to keep him talking.
"Camy, Israel is not the safest place. Your Bodyguard and his team, they do the military's dirty work and get paid huge sums for doing it. Mercenaries in my book but today they are called security contractors...Mostly ex-Mossads. Believe me we don't have the money to hire them!
"What about your parents?"
"Don't have none. Well, I had but when I turned 17, they disappeared into thin air. Got a letter telling me they were paid to take care of me and that the time had come to part ways. Now you know why I can't answer your simple question: Who am I!
"What… that's crazy….parents can't do that!
"They weren't my parents, only paid guardians. Don't feel sorry for me. I was and still am well taken care for. All my schooling is paid plus I get money every month in my account. I don't touch much of it because I don't know where it's coming from. I sometime take some if I really need it and mostly do odd jobs to survive."
"Don't you have any questions? How about your 'guardians', did you try to find them? You can't just forget about those who were your parents for 17 years."
"Camy, what do you think! I looked everywhere and yes I found them…. in a morgue under the name Mr. and Mrs. John Dow # 1069!"
"Jacques, how can you stay calm about all of this. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Why didn't you go to the police? Somebody killed your parents/guardians…you're not scare the next one will be you?"
Jacques smiled "Camy, we are in Israel, people here have seen a lot and sometime cannot explain much but one thing they have is hope. That's what I feed on. If somebody wants me dead, well it's going to happen. I don't have the 'entourage' to protect me so I'm living as a normal life as I can. I'm only sorry for one thing: Bringing you into my crazy life. Since being on my own, I always manage to turn down friends or girls who tried to get close to me but you… can't say why, I just couldn't. Call is Kismet. That means…
"Hebrew word meaning fate, I know!"
"Not proud of you Camy, Kismet's origin is Arabic and is used in Turkish, Urdu, Hindi and Hebrew."
"OK, I'm not the one who's going to argue about that with you" Sharon said while thinking 'If Eyal is listening, think he'll want to have a word with Jacques.'
Back with Eyal, hearing Jacques tale, all were feeling for him.
Eyal signaled them to gather around him "OK, we work with what Jacques just gave us: Annie / Robin, want you to get to Tel Aviv's University campus. I'll have Mossad set up a cover; you'll be tourist/students looking for a Facebook friend… that friend being Jacques. Eric drilled down on Jacques student history, read it before heading out. Girls be careful, remember one sniper got away, meaning they might know of us. Try to find out a bit more about his 'job'. Robin you know of terrorist's MO, if something doesn't seem right, get out."
Turning to Ziva, he continued "Ziva, since you seem to 'LIKE' Camilia so much, well…. you and Vincent are her new 'bodyguards'. Vincent get the needed firepower and stay alert, don't think I need to say more. Get them out in the open as much as possible. I want to evaluate the treat. Ziva, I trust you already have a route in mind. Remember, Camilia is really Sharon, don't want you two getting into any kind of girl pit bull fights!
Ziva looked sideways at Eyal "She's my ex-partner. We have some understandings on how we stay clear of each other when on a mission!"
To that Ziva pushed Vincent's back and proceeded to get to the couple!
Eyal continued "Auggie, you're with me. We are going back to the safe house and sitting down with Abby and Eric. They were ahead of us all night, need to know the why's and how's! We are also going to look in to Jacques dead guardians/parents."
Seeing Ziva approached, Sharon asked "Where's my bodyguard. We decided to hire him for protection."
To that Eyal, who had just stepped in, responded. "Well, Mrs. Camilia, Monsieur Guy seems to want you bad… We have been instructed to keep you safe at all cost. We might as well include your boyfriend, here"
Speaking in that manner put the money worry out of the way for the 'couple'.
"His name is Jacques." Sharon responded
"No… for our purpose…. he's now Jeff and you are Lolita. We never know who could be listening plus if you need to leave the country you'll need new IDs and passports! I have some business to attend to, so you have two new bodyguards: Ziva and Vincent will be escorting you around town, then back at your apartment Jacques/Jeff. Don't worry, you'll be safe. They're the best. Want to try and get your enemies out, see who we are dealing with. Afterwards, have a safe house for both of you till we decide the best course of action. Are you two OK with our plan?"
Sharon, well more Camilia, responded "Oh, couldn't be better! We get to walk around with me as a sexually precocious girl (Lolita) and Jacques (Jeff) as Mutt's sidekick, like in the Mutt n' Jeff ancient comic strip in the NY Times. If I remember… that Jeff came from an asylum. To top that off, we have to do our .Walking strut with Mr. Wingtips and Mrs. Pipsqueak. Did I forget something?"
"Camilia or now Lolita, I'm good at what I do, so shut the hell up and do as you're told." Eyal angrily responded all the while holding Ziva's arm very firmly for her not to jump on 'Camilia'. Eyal murmured. "Ziva hold it together… she's in character!"
"Like hell, she's doing this to annoy me, getting back at me for the bump on her precious little head!" Ziva replied out of hearing range of Jacques.
"Ziva" Eyal said firmly to calm her down.
Not leaving well enough alone, Sharon responded to Eyal last statement
"Well, you asked if I was OK with your plan and I answered. You're the one that needs to get your act strait: Don't ask when you don't want a truthful answer. I'm not one of your goons you order around: I don't shut up or attack on command!"
It was a first time for Eyal working with Sharon in a cover role. It was proving to be quite an experience! Him even thinking, for a second, of leaving Ziva have her way with her
Before Camilia and Jacques were to be off with Ziva and Vincent, Eyal succeeded in talking with both girls. He sternly warned them to think of the mission before catfights. He didn't have much hope... Ziva was…. well Ziva and Sharon was behaving as a Lolita! How those two could work together, even work very well as he had heard, was a mystery.
"Vincent try to keep those two apart. I warned them but … well do your best, just try not to shoot them! After you're done showing our couple around, bring them back to Jacques's apartment. There, Wait and See. If we were successful in attracting flies our 'honey trap', get them out rapidly and discreetly. We have the place bugged so Eric and Auggie will have eyes and ears on the place. Bring them to the safe house. We'll read Jacque in and if they haven settle their little dispute, we'll leave Sharon and Ziva have a go at each other, clear the air!"
Vincent laughed "Good, while I'm downtown, I'll get some popcorn, chips, pop, vine and Caf-Pow. I just love girls fighting!"
Eyal just shook his head and laugh. All went about their given task.
Eyal and Auggie had a rendezvous with Eric and Abby at the safe house. Eyal opened the door, let Auggie in…. and Abby jumped him. Eyal just had time to catch both before they tumbled.
"Abby, I'm bling, meaning I can't brace myself for your very particular welcomes!"
"Sorryyyyyyyyyyy, was so worried for all of you's. It's early morning an you guys didn't give any news for now 2 hours 33 minutes and 50 seconds."
Eyal just looked at Eric, then Abby. "I told Eric we would be going silent for a while, didn't he tell you?"
"Yes, but that didn't stop me from worrying! Never mind, Eyal I need you."
To that Abby grabbed Eyal arm and dragged him toward a makeshift table that had colored little toy soldiers plus a white tablecloth with the maps of Israel and neighboring countries dawned on it.
Eyal, something is missing: I have the Hezbollah pink soldiers in Lebanon,
Eyal couldn't help but laughed "Hezbollah as PINK soldiers, really… How American!"
Abby just rolled her eyes and continued "Hamas yellow soldiers in Gaza, Foreign Islamic red fighters in Syria, Islamic Jihad Movement brown soldiers in Cisjordan and Gaza. Nothing add up to one of those organisation abducting those three teenagers and wanting Jacques, Sharon, MP and Jacques dead.
"What, how …..Do you know that someone wanted Sharon and company dead? Abby out with it NOW!"
Eyal's tone just took Abby's composure away, she froze.
Eric took over "Well last night while you guys were partying, we had some downtime and decided to hack in different Web pages about what is going on in your part of the world. We discovered some interesting tidbits about those three teenagers that were abducted and killed plus an article that didn't happen!
BuzzFeed: Israeli and Palestinian officials saidit was more likely that the teens were taken without the knowledge of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or any other senior militant movement."
TimeWarps: Palestinian security forces attribute the abduction to the Qawasmeh clan of Hebron specifically. This group is known to act "counter to the policies being advocated by the Hamas" and to deliberately disrupt Hamas ceasefires and other arrangements. The clan includes members of Fatah and respected professionals as well as some rogue individuals.
Abby took over from Eric: Didn't want to anger you Eyal, so sorry. I've been keeping this information inside me for too long, have to get it out… it's huge but I'm missing one piece of the puzzle"
"Abby, forgive me. I have a tendency to lose my temper…often. You have information that impacts my country and my personal life. I wanted it faster than you could give it to me."
Abbyy looked at him wide eyes "That the first time someone tells me that I'm talking to slow! Just promise to listen OK Eyal, this is huge…"
"Abby get it out!"
"Well, while we were looking at news clips, I came upon this one. She handed the printed clipping to Eyal.
After murdered Israeli teens, four others young peoples are found dead: Two foreigners, an English Student and a Canadian Cirque du Soleil artist were gunned down along with two Israeli twins. Palestinian sources said Hamas has come under the influence of the powerful Qawasmeh clan in the Hebron area of the southern West Bank. That unruly Hebron Clan is Pushing Hamas — and Israel — to the Brinks
Abby continued "Eyal, look at the time, that article was written before you encountered the sniper. Plus, I hacked into the autopsy report of those three teens. Eyal … it's hinky!
"It's what… never mind….Out with it ABBY!" Eyal was on the verge of losing it with Abby.
"Boysss! You and Gibb are the same: No patience and no sense of humour. You have to have it all right away!"
Eyal was using every ounce of control he had. "What do you want…. drumrolls? Auggie can you master some drumrolls for Abby's news!"
Abby rapidly uttered "The teens had no fingerprints, Eyal. The same as the two Jakes. What were they? Test tubes babies made all the for one purpose?"
Eyal just stare at Abby for a second. He closed his eyes, reopen them, looked at Eric, Auggie and Abby.
"I just figured it out." The rest was in Hebrew and not to be translated.
Eyal putt his hands on Abby's shoulders: "Abby, you are the most talented forensics, computer forensics, and hacking 'Goth' I have ever encountered. You my girl have just won yourself a life supply of Caf-Pow!"
Eyal continued "Auggie, Eric get to work, we need the team back here right now. If what I'm thinking is right, they could be in danger."
Auggie venture "Eyal, can we get a glimpse of what you figured out?"
"Auggie, want the full team here. It's complicated and I still need to clarify some facts. Plus got to bring Mossad and MI-6 in this. Rivka wanted something big for her comeback, think she going to have her hands full! Auggie, if you want a lead concentrate on one phrase of Abby's article.
That unruly Hebron Clan Pushes Hamas — and Israel — to Brinks
Add to that this phrase
Keep this mission and Israel related.
"You're a spy Auggie, see if you can figure it out while the rest of the team gets here. I just can't believe I didn't see it earlier!" Eyal shot a teasing glare to Auggie but realised Auggie couldn't get it so he just lightly slapped Auggie forehead!
Looking over to Abby, he could tell she had also unraveled this abdominal plan! Eyal put his index finger on his lips signaling Abby to stay quiet. Facts needed to be verified.
Eric called Eyal over.
"Eyal, you're not going to like this. We have an emergency message: Annie, Ziva and Sharon have gone missing while they were at the University. Vincent and Robin managed to secure Jacques. They want/need you there now!"
Eyal just stared at the screen for a second and then slammed his fist on the table.
"Ben-zona בן-זונה Oy gevalt!"
To be continued!
