I still don't own anyone else beside the baby. Enjoy!
Chapter 4.
"Mossad?" everyone said with a surprised tone.
Ziva remained quiet and stared the items Abby found.
"Ziva?" Tony said gently when she was still quiet and didn't say anything.
"Get everyone here", Ziva finally said.
"I'll call Timmy", Abby promised.
Ducky took his phone and asked Palmer to join them.
Ziva said something in hebrew for the baby, but otherwise it was quiet.
"Boss, I found David Portia from hospital. He has signs of a fight. I asked nurses to take samples and they are on their way to here".
"Good, but that is not why Abby called you here", Gibbs said."
"Oh…" McGee commented.
"What is going on in here?" Palmer wanted to know.
"Ziver", Gibbs said with a gentle tone.
Ziva calmed down when she heard the nickname Gibbs had given her years ago.
"Okey", Ziva started and showed item which looked like oversize coin. "Call this badge, coin, jeweler or whatever you like, but it is given to every child who is somehow connected to Mossad. I still have mine. This text is hebrew and means God protect Israel". After that Ziva took other item to her hand and continued:
"And this is Mossad badge. Personal info seems to be destroyed. But I still recognize it".
Ziva's statement made everyone quiet.
"Damn", Tony muttered under his breath.
"I agree", Ziva said. "This…is… one of my worst uh…nightmares"
"Okey, let's investigate before we freak out", Gibbs said. "This might not be bad".
"Do you believe that?" McGee asked.
"Yeah like really believe", Abby continued.
Gibbs was quiet, but finally he had to admit:
"No, I don't. I think we all know what we are dealing with".
"Unfortunately", McGee and DiNozzo said.
Rest of the gang was quiet, but neither of them would ever forget Somalia. So no words were necessary to say.
"So what now?" Ziva asked.
"Abby, process every baby item. DiNozzo, contact social services. Ziva and McGee, find out if there is Mossad agents in here. Duck and Palmer, find if there is a connect between our victim and baby. I'll talk to director. And keep me posted", Gibbs ordered.
At the conference room:
"So, this baby might be citizen of Israel?" social worker said.
"Yes, she is most likely from Israel", DiNozzo confirmed.
"How do you know?" social worker continued.
"Israeli protection jeweler and Mossad badge", Gibbs explained. "We have a former Mossad officer in our team so she recognized them.
"Well I'm not going to take this baby before I'm sure about her identity and nationality. Because if she is israeli like you suspect, she will be returned to Israel immediately. If she is American or you can't say where she is, then I'll get her to foster care. Will you be able to take care of her?" social worker explained.
"Yes, and she will need protected custody anyway. "We'll keep you posted", Gibbs promised.
"Thank you, social worker said and left.
"Is it just me or was she weird?" DiNozzo asked.
"Yeah, she was weird. Although I think she is safer in here than in some foster home". Gibbs answered.
"Especially considering it is Mossad we are talking about", DiNozzo continued.
At the bullpen:
Ziva and McGee had been watching every kind of lists for over an hour.
"Okay people, talk to me", Gibbs ordered.
"I don't see anyone I know", Ziva said.
"And I didn't notice any known aliases either." McGee continued. "I compared lists and names".
"Although we are talking about Mossad and they are know about their abilities to sneak into this country. But I think it is safe to say that there are no Mossad agents in here legally", Ziva commented.
"Social service is not taking the baby before we know her name and nationality", DiNozzo told".
"Why? Ziva was surprised.
"Because if she is israeli, she will be returned there immediately. And apparently it is our job", Gibbs continued.
"Okay, so basically we are her care givers", McGee said.
It was more like a statement than a question so Gibbs and DiNozzo didn't say anything.
"Where is she anyway? Gibbs asked.
Ziva showed her chest. Baby was sleeping happily against Ziva's chest with the help of some kind of baby sling.
"Abby?" DiNozzo guessed.
"Yeah, it was her idea", Ziva smiled. "Baby is happy and my hands are free.
Suddenly phone started ringing.
"Yeah, Gibbs. Okay Abs, I'm on my way".
Ziva, DiNozzo and McGee followed Gibbs to Abby's lab.
"What do you got Abs?" Gibbs asked.
"Nothing, there are no evidences. No fibers, no fingerprints and the only DNA belongs to baby", Abby sighed. "This is a dead end. But I still wanted to tell you face by face.
"Join the club, Abby", Ziva and McGee said at the same time.
"So now what boss?" DiNozzo asked.
"I don't know", Gibbs admitted. "But we are not contacting to Mossad unless it is our last option".
Everyone nodded.
"And I'm not doing it", Ziva said. "I'm not exactly popular in there".
"Yeah, I figured. And you don't have to do it", Gibbs promised.
"Thank you. Mossad thinks that I betrayed both them and Israel. I have been able to live freely and without a fear despite from the decisions I made", Ziva explained and wiped away the tears that were escaping from her yeas. "Because I was still the daughter of Mossad director. But now when abba is gone, there isn't any one left to protect me".
"Well you have us, my dear", Ducky said after joining the team. "I take it you don't have anything".
Everyone just nodded.
"Well I'm afraid I don't have either", Ducky told.
"Yeah, we didn't find any connect between the victim and Israel.
"You know, I went to my father's funeral un-armed and I almost got shot and stabbed. Fortunately they only did it to scare me. If they would have wanted to hurt me, they could have easily done it. They think that I am too human, because I let people hug me and I showed my emotions", Ziva explained. "So… that you know what you will be dealing with if they find out about this baby and that we have her".
"I'll protect you", Gibbs promised. "I have already lost one daughter and I am not going to lose another one".
"Let's make a deal: we all protect each other", McGee suggested.
"Good idea McProtector", DiNozzo smiled.
"Deal", everyone said at the same time.
"Am I selfish because I wish that she is going to stay in USA?" Abby asked.
"No, you are not. I hope that too", Gibbs answered.
"I don't want any child to go through same things I did", Ziva continued.
