Chapter 3...


Tony, McGee, Abby, Ducky and Gibbs were in the waiting room when a male Doctor with short, black wavy hair came up to them. Abby thought of one word to describe him. Dreamy.

"Are you with Miss. David?"

"Yes" everyone answered

"She's in surgery. It doesn't look good, the knife penetrated her left lung. It's very close to her heart. We have the best cardio surgeon working on her. They're doing everything they can. You should maybe…prepare yourselves, I have to go, I will keep you updated" He told them, then walked away.

"I can't do this" Gibbs said "Not again" He turned and walked off.

"Jethro" Ducky called after him, but Gibbs kept walking.

"She'll survive this" Abby said under her breath. McGee and Tony heard and turned to her. She began pacing and continuously said under her breath:

"She's gonna survive this, she's gonna survive this, she's gonna survive this…"


"Ziva?" came a male voice.

"Roy?" Roy smiled at her at her and went to stand in front of Tony's desk. Ziva was still sitting at her desk looking confused. Tali was standing next to her older brother and Kate stood next to Roy.

"What are all of you doing here? Is this-"

"It's not heaven" Tali told her

"We are here because you called us here" Ari said.

"Did I?" Ziva asked

Kate looked at her. "Tell us why you didn't fight, Ziva"


Director Jenny Shepard ran into the waiting room. She saw that Abby was saying something under her breath while McGee had his arms around her on one of the waiting room chairs, both swaying back and forth. Ducky was sitting in his seat looking into space. Tony was slouched on the floor with his head on his knees.

She walked over and sat next to Ducky.

"How is she?" She asked. Ducky looked at her sadly.

"Not good"

"Oh" She looked around. "Where's Jethro?"

"He left. He said he can't do this again"

Jenny sighed and stood up "I'll go find him"

And with that she left.


"Ziva, I need you to understand. This is important, you can't screw around, you don't have the time and we don't have the time for that." Kate told her as Ziva started walking up the stairs to MTAC, the other three making their way up behind them.

"He stabbed me, that is all"

"Ziva! Please listen to us" Tali said "You have to listen to us! You have to-" Tali started to shake "Oh no…" She began to bleed from different parts of her body then fell to the ground.

"Tali!" Ziva yelled "Someone help me!" She pleaded as she watched her little sister bleed out.

"It's what happens with Tali, you just gotta let it go" Roy said as he leaned on the wall opposite of where the others were standing.

"We can help her, We need to get to a hospital!"

Kate looked to Ari and Roy, they both nodded their heads. She placed a hand on Ziva's shoulder. They disappeared and then instantly re-appeared in the hospital waiting room, though it was completely empty. Ari and Roy were standing in front of them.

"Go get help!" Ziva said to Ari.

"There is no point"

"She is your sister too. GO!"

Ari shrugged and walked away. As he walked he faded into thin air. Then Tali and Roy disappeared. Ziva looked wide eyed up at Kate. Kate sighed and leaned against the empty nurse's station.

"Ziva, you ready to talk about this now? Or do you wanna waste some more time?"
