Chapter Four - "Tell Me Everything You Know"

Ziva and Gibbs sat across from each other in the conference room. Ziva knew Gibbs was staring at her and she couldn't bring herself to look at Gibbs. She knew that he'd have this disappointing look and she didn't want to feel like she disappointed him. She also knew he'd see the truth in her eyes and she didn't want him too. This was about finding Matt the killer and being able to place him at the Petty Officer's murder. This was about finding justice for his victims.

"I want you to tell me everything you know about him Ziva" Gibbs said softly. She could tell he knew this was a hard subject for her.

"I only know what Lily told me" Ziva started to say. "That is all a lie" Ziva finally looked up.

"Just start from the beginning" Gibbs said.

"He was charming, sweet and everything Lily wanted to believe in. When I met him something was just not right" Ziva started to tell him.

"You didn't trust him?" Gibbs questioned.

"No" Ziva answered. "At first I could not figure it out. I just got this vibe from him that I did not like" Ziva continued to say. "He told Lily he worked for the FBI and could not tell her anything else. I checked into his background and there was no record of him with the FBI"

"Why did you feel the need to look into is background?" Gibbs questioned. She knew he was just covering all his bases as if it was an interrogation and not two people who worked together talking.

"Lily told me about an old boyfriend she had that things did not end well and that was why she moved" Ziva explained.

"And you're sure Matthew killed Lily?" Gibbs questioned.

"I am sure" Ziva said. She knew how she was so sure, but couldn't tell him. "Her old boyfriend was killed by a drunk driver last year" Ziva said. "I was just trying to protect her and I got her killed"

"No you didn't" Gibb said. He reached over and placed his hand on Ziva's but within second she pulled her hands back.

"She let him go two days after I told her what I had found out. I had not been able to talk to her so I could not be sure, but he showed up at my place. He demanded I fix what I ruined" Ziva went back to telling him what happened. She was hoping it would get Gibbs mind off what just happened.

"Did he threaten you?" Gibbs questioned.

"Not exactly" Ziva said.

"Ziva" Gibbs said to her in a stern voice.

"He did" Ziva finally said. "I can handle him Gibbs."

"Ziva he is a cold blooded killer" Gibbs said to her.

"And I am a trained assassin. I can handle myself, Gibbs" Ziva said. She wanted that to be true, but she knew it would be better if Gibbs handled it.

"Do you have any idea where he might be?" Gibbs asked.

"No" Ziva said. Truthfully she didn't want to know.

"We will find him Ziva, but for now I need you to stay here" Gibbs said to her, with a smile before getting up and walking out of the room.

"Lily" Ziva said as she knocked on the door. It had been too long since they had their fight. She wanted to apologize and tell Lily it was wrong, but why she had done it in the first place. "Lily" Ziva said and knocked on the door again. "I know you are still mad at me, but I was hoping we could talk" Ziva said. She was hoping Lily would at least hear her out. "Lily" Ziva said and knocked one more time, only this time the door slowly started to open. Ziva reached for gun, only to remember she had left it in her apartment. She wasn't about to waste time and get it, even if she knew she should have it. She was just going to have to rely on other skills to help her out. She slowly walked into the apartment, making sure not to touch anything. She listened to see if she could hear any noises and when she didn't hear any, she continued in only to stop dead in her tracks when she saw her friend on the ground with a pool of blood. Ziva pulled out her phone from her pocket and dialed 911. '911 what's your emergency' "My names Ziva David and my friend has been murder" Ziva said, as a few tears rolled down her cheeks. She'd seen enough dead bodies and been on enough cases to know, Lily was gone and there wasn't much she could do right now. She did know she could make sure Matt paid for what he did and she knew it was Matt.

"You got anything Abby?" Tony asked as he walked into her lab, Abby didn't even bother looking over at him. Tony continued to walk until he was standing next to her.

"Not since the last time you asked me, five second ago" Abby said, a little aggravated.

"First, It was like five minutes ago" Tony said to her. "And second, Gibbs is going to be back anytime now and we don't have anything to give him."

"He's still with Ziva?" Abby asked. She turned her head to look at Tony. He nodded yes. "You know I met Lily once, we went out for a girl's night." Abby said with a small laugh and a smile as she remembered that night. "I had never seen Ziva so happy. It was like she was a totally different person with Lily. She wasn't Ziva ex-Mossad or Ziva Federal Agent, she was just Ziva. "

"Lily was one of the first friends Ziva had since moving back to DC." Tony said softly. Before Abby could say another word, Tony just remember something? "Ziva's apartment building has camera's in the hallway…."

"And if we get it and there is video of him coming out or going into Lily's apartment before or after the murder we have him." Abby said finishing Tonys trail of thought. She then looked at Tony funny. "How do you know that?"

"She mentioned they had just installed it once" Tony said to Abby without saying much more. "Just don't tell anyone. I don't want McGee and Gibbs think we got this big lead only to find out it wasn't what we thought it was."

"Just get me the tape and I'll work my magic" Abby said to him with smile. Tony smiled back before heading out.

"What do we know so far" Gibbs said as he entered the bullpen, and expected to see Tony and McGee both hard at work, but only seeing McGee at his computer. "Where's DiNozzo?"

"He said something about one of the victim's mothers saying something, that was making sense now and went to go re-question her" McGee said, not really sure it made sense now. Sure hadn't made sense when Tony had said it before running out.

"What do we know?" Gibbs said as he walked over to his desk.

"None of the victims had any connection to each other, besides looks." McGee started to say as he pulled up their pictures, on the plasma screen. "It does seem he was going after women who looked like Lillian Carter."

"Are we positive she was the first victim?" Gibbs questioned.

"Yeah, the others were all murdered three weeks after Lillian Carter was murder" McGee said. The two of them looked at the plasma screen. They knew this was about to get more complicated than it already was.

AN: Not really sure about this chapter. Sorry it's kind of short, but hopefully it makes sense.
