And here is a new chapter! Sorry for making you wait so long, but this is actually one of the chapters that I was having a hard time writing, at least the last part of it.

Disclaimer: If I did own these shows, some of the people that died wouldn't have. RIP Vincent Nigel Murray. Also, I would not kill Ziva in the show.


"Dr. Brennan, I have found cause of death," a young woman said as she entered the office.

She turned to leave, paused, and spun back around, a puzzled expression on her face.

"We're assisting on the case," Tony said, noticing nobody else was going to say anything.

Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth led the woman out of the office. Gibbs followed.

He was out of the office before he realised he was alone. He appeared back inside. "Come on!"

The team was immediately by his side, on their way to find out how the beloved Ziva died.

He expected this. He knew she was dead. He knew she was just bones. But he couldn't look at it.

One glance made Tony want to be sick. How could someone do this to her.

How could that heartless bastard kill her after what she's been through. When he life was finally getting better?

How could she be dead?

Seeing Ziva's body made her death all the more real. There would be no more pretending she wasn't dead.

She was still wearing her Star of David necklace. At least this man didn't rip it off her neck, the way his heart felt when he got the call.

Tony looked at the woman, waiting for her to start.

She felt eyes on her. More eyes than she thought were present.

When she looked up, there were five pairs of eyes staring at her expectantly. The other was staring at the body.

Three of the sets staring at her were the people assisting with the case, all the men, so she decided to introduce herself.

"By the way, I'm Daisy."

The icy glare from Dr. Brennan told her to reveal what she had found.

Not knowing the expertise of the other people, she decided to use more non-scientific terms.

"Here" -she pointed to the humerus- "is a gunshot wound. But it already started to heal. She was shot in the arm about one to two weeks before she was killed." She paused for dramatic effect. Catching annoyed glares from the others, she continued. "See this mark?" She magnified it. "Her throat was slit. With a sharp object, like a knife."

The man with the brown, slightly thinning hair piped up, "You remind me of Abby."

The man with the sandy blonde hair laughed, while the man with the silver hair showed the ghost of a smile.

Daisy smiled, not knowing if it was supposed to be a compliment.

"How can somebody do something like that to Ziva?" Abby said. They had decided to include her, knowing her expertise could help. "She's had enough bad things happen in her life, like her father sending her out to die. And now somebody killed had kidnapped her when she was pregnant , and tortured her and possibly her daughter, and now she's dead!" Abby sobbed, then continued quietly with, "She deserves to still be here, with us, alive."

"I know Abs." Gibbs wrapped his arms around her as she sobbed into his chest.

"Does she always talk like that? Fast and nonstop?" Booth asked from his observation place in the main room of the forensics lab.

"That's nothing, and Tony added, "You haven't seen anything."

"No wonder Daisy reminds you of her."

"I wonder if there are any other similarities between her and Daisy," Brennan stated.

"We'll have to get back to you on that."
