(Last chapter)
"Look. Ziva, I know this is hard but I need some answers. We need to find your father and he needs to be dealt with appropriately. Unless you are willing to let it go and forget about it."
Tony looked at Gibbs in disbelief. Why are you bringing this up right NOW!?
She was starting to tear up.
Gibbs sighed. She's not ready for this. Gibbs got up to leave and leave them to be alone.
Ziva looked up.
"NO! Wait! Gibbs!"
"I want my father to get what he deserves. If he does not get called out, he's going to come back to me and more people will get hurt. I do not want that to happen."
"Are you sure? Because once I tell the director, the decision in final."
Ziva took a deep breath. "Yes. I am sure Gibbs."
"Ok. I will go talk to the director." Gibbs turned to leave.
"Ok Gibbs."
Gibbs turned around again right before he left. "Ziver. I want you to stay in you bed until the doctors say you can get out of it. Understood?" Gibbs warned.
Ziva's mouth remained in a straight line. Gibbs knew that meant no promises. He knew what to say to get her to listen.
"I told the doctor that if you try to escape even once to use those restraints." He pointed to the restraints resting at the sides of her bed.
Ziva looked down and her mouth opened wide and her eyebrows tilted.
"But-" Ziva didn't know what to say.
Gibbs smiled in success and he left.
Tony was using all his willpower to suppress the laugh threatening to come out. All that came out was a snort. Ziva rolled her eyes and backhanded him in the shoulder.
"Owww! Ziva that hurt!"
Ziva gave him a cheeky smile.
Gibbs smiled hearing Tony yell.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
This time, Gibbs knocked Jenny's door.
"Come in."
Gibbs walked in. Her face told him that she was expecting him.
"I asked Ziva if she wants her father dealt with." Gibbs said dully.
"What did she say."
"She told me that she wanted her father dealt with appropriately."
'How do I know you're not just saying this and you didn't talk to Ziva at all?"
Gibbs frowned.
"DiNozzo was with me. You can ask me. When you ask Ziva she will tell me what I said."
"Ok Jethro. I will talk to her before I brief SECNAV."
"Director. You don't need to ask her again. I asked her once and she was on the verge of tears. She said that she wants her father dealt with so that he doesn't come back for her and so no one else needs to get hurt. Don't you understand?! The LAST thing she needs is for someone else to remind her of her father."
Jenny didn't know what to day. She knew Gibbs was right. She had judged Eli David wrongly but yet again she knows that too. She looked down at her lap.
"Ok I'll talk to SECNAV."
Gibbs nodded and left. Hoping to finish the conversation with Jenny soon.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Gibbs went straight home. He needed a good nights rest. He had been working long hours and had little to no sleep. He fell into his couch face first and relaxed. He was on the verge of sleep when his cell phone rung.
He picked up his cell phone and saw the caller ID. It wasn't a name, it was a number and he didn't recognize it. He flicked his phone open. He had a gut feeling.
"Hello?"
The man on the other end had a thick accent.
"Hello Agent Gibbs. My name is Eli David."
TBC...
