After a few moments collecting his thoughts Tony walked over beside Kalisha and sat down next to her.

"Hey, you okay, Bambucha?!" he asked.

"Yes, I'm fine, Aba," she replied with a small smile.

"How long have you known?" he softly questioned her.

"l I seen your eyes last night."

"My eyes," he asked confused.

"Yes, I looked into you'r eyes and seen what Ima described to me."

"What did she tell you?" Tony asked.

"That your eyes were full of love and she could tell that what you had was special" The young girl told him.

"Come here," he motioned her to him, cuddling the small child Kalisha slowly fell asleep.

"You okay?" McGee quietly asked, having come up to them.

"Why, didn't she call to tell me," he said, giving his daughter a kiss on the head.

"I'm sure she had her reason," McGee told him softly.

McGee sat down next to the two of them

"I want to be with her Tim, we did she hide her from me" Tony asked again begining to sob.

"I don't know Tony, but i'm sure she had the best intentions" Tim repeted.

Just then Abby called him so he dashed to the Lab, leaving Tony and Kalisha sitting there.

When Gibbs and Jen came own from the director's office, they noticed Tony and Kalisha sitting in the corner. Tony was stroking Kalisha's hair, holding back tears.

"Hey, Tony, give her to me. I will put her in my office and let her sleep on the couch," offered Jenny.

"No, thank you. I want her with me." he said as he tightened his grip on her.

"You can take her home then. You both need to Tony," the director tried to reason with him.

"I'm fine, Jenny. Honestly. Any news yet?"

"Nothing yet. McGee is still working on that video and Abby is working on the TV. She thinks she may have missed something," Gibbs reported.

"Okay, I will go back around to her house and try to talk to her neighbors," Tony said, trying to get without disturbing Kalisha.

"You stay here," Gibbs softly growled. He didn't know what to make out of Tony's behavior, yet.

"Thanks, boss."

"Tony, you take care of her. You understand?"

"Of course, I will."

A little while later McGee took Kalisha from a now sleeping Tony and brought her up to Jenny. When Tony woke up he panicked.

"Where is Kalisha?" he shouted alarmed.

"She is with Jen. I took her there, sorry." McGee told him softly.

"It's okay McGee. Is she still sleeping?" He asked now calmer.

"Yes, I think so." McGee said looking up towards Jenny's office.

"Any news?" Tony asked.

"Abby found something with the TV, but it lead to nothing," McGee told him sounding defeated.

"We can't give up McGee. I know we can find her. We have to," he said quietly.

"We will, Tony." McGee said in a comforting tone.

"What about the e-mails?" Tony probed further.

"We managed to find that they were live. So that's a good thing. But we lost the connection in China." Tony put his hand up for McGee to stop talking.

"Enough with the geek talk," he said, trying to be his usual self.

Meanwhile where Ziva is

"Here. Have some food," Ziva's captor told her.

"I'm not hungry." she said defient.

"I will leave it here, if you change your mind." He told her.

"I won't." she said looking away.

"Kalisha is doing fine. Thought I would let you know." He told her.

"What have you done to her?" Ziva shouted after the retreating figure.

"Nothing, she is safe with her father, He said as he walked out the room.

*Flashback*

"Bye Ima. We will be home soon," Mika smiled, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodbye sweetie, Be good for Auntie Tali."

"I will be. La tova." *I love you*

"La tova, darling."

A little while later that day

"Kalisha, sweetheart, I have something to tell you," Ziva quietly said, motioning for the girl to come to her.

"Yes, Ima?" the young girl asked cheerfully, sitting down on the seat opposite to her mother's.

"Mika and Auntie Tali have been hurt in the market." The Israeli softly stated, stroking her child's wild hair behind the kid's ear.

"Were are they?" the little girl asked, her voice getting quieter as she had picked up on her mother's subdued mood.

"They are stars now, darling."

"In the sky?" Kalisha asked confused.

"Yes. They will not be coming back, tataleh," Ziva quietly uttered as she pulled Kalisha onto her lap.

"I will not see Mika again? Will not be able to play with her?" the small girl asked. Her voice quivering and the first tears running down her cheeks.

"No, darling" whispered Ziva as she pulled her crying daughter close to her, letting her own tears fall for the first and most likely only time.

*end flashback*

Ziva sat alone in her 'cage', looking at the stars as she remembered her two daughters.

"Forgive me for not telling you, Tony. I hope you understand and will take care of her," she whispered into the night, a lonely tear seeping down her face, only noticeable with the moonlight.
