The next day in TelAviv
Ziva woke up at 4 o'clock like always. She got ready to run ans ran her favorite route which took her one hour. But one thing was different. She did not run alone like always because two of her guards ran with her to make sure that she was save.
That was one thing Ziva already started to hate. No matter where she wanted to go somebody was always with her. Which meant that she had to be careful when she wanted to find out more about her fathers secret. But she didn't have the time to do so during the day. So she had do work at night to find out what the whole thing her father left her was about.
After going on a run with her two guards Ziva took a shower and got ready for work. While she was getting ready she looked at the books she took out of the shelf again. One book was red like the red lillys and the other one had a white Lilly printed on the front.
Ziva knew that it would take some time to find out what the next step was. She decided to take the books with her to work and to start reading them when she had the time. But now she had to go.
The NCIS agent DiNozzo would arrive in two or three hours so she had to inform the team he would work with again and talk with the team leader.
Ziva was reading the file of Anthony DiNozzo while her driver was driving her to Mossad. She knew that she had to pick the team wisely because he was the son of the President of the United States but she still had to treat him like any other agent just like she was treated like any other agent while her father was director of Mossad.
After arriving at Mossad headquarters Ziva put away the books in a drawer in her desk. While sitting down in the leather chair Ziva had to think back to her first Mission. To the first time she entered the office as officer David and not as Elis daughter.
She couldn't quite remember how old she was but it must have been something between six and eight. There was a terrorist cell that used kids from desperate, poor families for attacks on schools or cinemas ore other public places.
Eli set up a cover for her so she could infiltrate the cell and take out the leader or to sent information back to her team so that they could save the children and take out the whole cell.
Ziva could remember that she was afraid but she had to hide her feelings. Eli would have thought that she was weak. Ari was the only one who knew about her feelings and he helped her to get over her fears.
Zivas thoughts were interrupted when she heard her phone ringing.
"Director David" she answered it.
"Good morning Director" said her secretary. "I just wanted to inform you that your guests will arrive in one hour."
"Thank you Sarah" she said to the women who she knew since she was a child and ended the call.
Ziva stopped thinking about the past and took the books out of the drawer. She still had 45 minutes left to work on the mystery.
At first Ziva took the red book in her hands and took a better look at the cover. When she read the title of the book she had to smile because it was a perfect fit. The book is the DaVinci Code. Ziva turned the book around maybe she could fins a code there? She looked at the ISBN number of the book because it was the only number she could see on the back of the book except the bar-code.
Ziva memorized the number because she knew that the ISBN was also on one of the first pages inside the book.
When she was opening the page with the ISBN Ziva realized that the number was wrong. The number was shorter and it looked like it might lead her to specific pages in the book.
She opened the first page. Page 249. When she was reading the page Ziva realized that it was not a page from the original book. Someone must have changed it. Eli must have changed it.
The first part for the brilliance to rise will be a long road.
The choices she has to make are hard and one wrong decision can end everything.
Right or wrong might seem to be hard to differ but when she solves it one by one,
she will have two. From that on three and five will follow.
The pages she will turn around will be useful but only in the exact order.
Which page is she at and which does she decide to skip will be essential for her.
The solution might seem close but it is far away.
Unreachable for the foolish and weak but reachable for brilliance.
The first mystery is about to be solved until then nothing else can be done.
The wold might change but the letters and numbers never will.
A book will always be a book no matter what happens.
Numbers will always be numbers.
But you can look at them on many different ways.
Numbers are the reason why our wold is like it is.
They are freedom and curse at the same time.
Time is it something that exists or is it just made up by humans and their numbers?
Everything will be solve when the time is right.
Have patience and you will see through everything and victory will be hers.
Ziva was confused about the page. It was definitive a code she had to solve and she knew that it has something to do with numbers. But which numbers? What was the code about? She hated it that her father was giving her a headache although he was dead. She still could not meet his expectations. She knew that he would be disappointed because it took her so long to find out what the code was about.
Ziva put the book down for a second and took a deep breath. She took a quick look at her watch and she realized that she tried t solve the Riddle for 30 minutes. Knowing that special agent DiNozzo and his father would arrive soon she put the books and her notes away and prepared the rest of the papers she needed for the meeting.
Not long after she was done preparing there was a knock on her door and her secretary entered the office.
"Director your guests arrived." she said.
"Let them in Sarah" said Ziva.
The secretary nodded and turned to the US president and to Tony.
"The director is ready to receive you"
"Mr President, Agent DiNozzo it is nice to see you I hope you had a pleasant flight." said Ziva standing up from her chair to greet the two men. When Ziva looked at Tony she thought that he was more handsome than he looked at the picture.
"It is nice to see you Director David" said Tonys father while shaking Zivas hand.
"I am sorry for your loss" he added.
"Thank you" said Ziva.
"Well let's get down to business" Ziva changed the topic quickly because she didn't want to talk about her father.
"Please have a seat" she said pointing on the chairs in front of her desk.
"Do you need anything. Coffee? Tee?" she asked them.
"Coffee please" they said.
Ziva nodded and called the secretary to bring them two coffees and one tea.
After the drinks arrived they started to talk about business.
End of chapter three. I hope you liked it. I wrote the code by myself. It might not make sense to others but I hope you might understand it. What do you think the code is?
Please review. The next chapter will be uploaded in one or two weeks.
