Hello haha ok Yes sorry Cliff hanger, I know, I just wanted a small | | (small) bit of drama! Haha ok, this is the next chapter!

Ziva Is The Key

Tony's head sat on Ziva's head, which was on his shoulder. McGee had gallantly stayed up in silence with Gibbs, and was currently getting coffee from a machine. Gibbs sat like a statue looking at a room which had nurses and doctors constantly opening and closing the door.

Abby and Ducky had gone home, saying they would come back in the morning. McGee coughed and caught Gibbs' attention. "You want coffee Boss?" he asked quietly.

Gibbs shook his head. It's not real coffee… Gibbs thought. A doctor then came out, and looked at Gibbs, who sat in anticipation. The doctor came over and said "Jethro?"

Gibbs nodded tiredly. "I'm Dr. Hill. Caitlin received a in shot wound to the shoulder. She has had it removed and is asking for you. Something about Pasta in the oven… ?" Hill asked.

Gibbs allowed having a small grin creep across his face. "Yeah, Tony fixed that. Can I see her?"

Dr. Hill nodded and let him go to the room. Kate was covered in an IV and various things monitoring her heartbeat.

"Jeth…Ro." She croaked, holding her hand out for him. He took it, his rough, hot hand feeling her neat, cool one.

"What happened? Who did this?" Gibbs asked urgently, but quietly.

"Man…Black cover…No Face…" she croaked again, trying to get the important bits out, before she fell asleep.

"Take your time." He said softly.

"Sound… Ziva… Know…Ziva… Ziva….Key." Kate said groggily.

With this Gibbs ripped out of the room and tapped Ziva on the shoulder. "Ziva David, parking lot, now." He growled as he stalked out of the room.

Five minutes later, Gibbs was met by Ziva who was now wide awake. "Yes, Gibbs?" she asked curtly.

"Mossad. Someone, who apparently sounded like you, but male, shot Kate." Gibbs roared.

Ziva went white. "No… He… I was told he was benign, that he wouldn't do anything." She muttered.

"What? You knew? All along! David, I trusted you!" Gibbs let go.

"Gibbs, it's not my fault! They were only rumors! Whispers, nothing else! There was no uptick or evidence that he was planning to attack her!" Ziva yelled back.

"Kate is your evidence!" Gibbs said back.

Ziva licked her lips. "You are right. His name… is… Mikhail David… He is my cousin, Ari's best friend and a rogue Mossad agent who hasn't been to see father in four years."

"What was his specialty?"

"Metsada. Like me." Ziva said, tears forming in her eyes.

Gibbs came close to her and whispered in her ear, "Go. See. Kate." Before calling Leon Vance.

Ziva crept into the dimly lit room. Kate was barely awake. "Caught?" she asked.

Ziva nodded. Kate continued. "Ziva… You… Are… The…Key… Believe… In… Yourself…" until she fell asleep, with Ziva very confused….
