He reports to her weekly, though never over the phone and never face to face. Ari is as careful as a barefoot man on red hot coals.
He is thorough, and playful too. Ziva reads both layers of his manuscripts: the record of his work verbatim, and his sly, brotherly commentary, be it in the flick of his consonants or the flat of his vowels. He makes her laugh; the laughter makes her forget her anxiety.
Then he speaks of Qassam and of the cell's plans, and she can no longer pretend that she's not completely out of her depth.
