I know it is like another short chapter but sometimes it just feels not good if a chapter is longer. Which i had with this one it just felt right to end it there.

CHAPTER 19

In the waiting room of the hospital was only one person found. A woman who at the moment looked like a lost little girl. The lost little girl she actually was inside. The woman had once been full of fire, of spirit, but right now the world seemed to pas to quick.

They were still working on her it was 0800 she had been there for over five hours, the only thing the nurse had come to tell was that "It was too early to tell".

IN THE BULLPEN

"Dinozzo, where is Ziva?" Gibbs barked, she was over an hour late this was nothing for her.

"No idea boss" he looked at his watch, over an hour late "Shit" he mumbled to himself. She was never late, never or sick, did she have and doctors or dentist appointment he tried to remember. Of course not she would have told him, if not him Gibbs and then he would not be asking where she was.

Just as he was starting to freak out his phone rang he recognized the number "Ziva where are you?"

The Ziva on the phone did not sound like Ziva, she had begun to break down and was now sobbing into the phone "She just…fell…in front of…of my eyes"

"Ziva calm down where are you?"

"She is in there for six hours now…they won't tell"

While Ziva was saying this Dinozzo whispered to Mcgee "Mcgee locate Ziva's cell"

Mcgee had done it in a few seconds Tony looked where: Bethesda.

"Zi, just hang on I'll be there" and he hung up. Gibbs just walked back in

"Where are you going Dinozzo"

"Ziva boss, she called and…" She had been crying this was not good "I need to go to her"

And he rushed past Gibbs, Gibbs looked at Mcgee

"Ziva was very upset when she spoke it sounded as if she was crying boss" Mcgee answered only hearing the tone and sobs in which Ziva spoke not the words.

"Okay, just go on with the paperwork Tony will call us" Gibbs said to the younger agent. He did not like to wait on the side line, but the only one Ziva would need now whatever was happening, was Tony

AT THE HOSPITAL

Tony came almost running in the waiting room. The room hold a certain sadness in it. He looked around to find Ziva. There she was sitting on one of the plastic chairs. She had her knees up to her chest and had her head buried in them, she was gently rocking forth and back. Tony's heart shattered in thousand pieces when he saw her like this, he walked to her and sat down next to her. Placing a hand on her head.

Ziva looked up and saw Tony, she broke down again but this time in secure arms, that rocked her softly and calmed her down a bit. Arms in which she felt protected from the world around her.

How long they sat like that before a doctor came neither knew.

"Miss Ziva David"

Neither bothered to correct him, Ziva just nodded

"You can come with me" After he saw the way Ziva hold onto the man, she hold onto him like without him she would drown "As well as your partner"

While they walked through the cold hospital halls he spoke to them both.

"The condition of your mother is what we worry for. She is awake right now but a bit weak. We have found some sort of toxic in her system, on problem we don't know it"

In front of the room they stopped the doctor looked Ziva in the eyes which forced her to pay attention.

"I have to tell you something that no one wants to hear" He sighed how he hated this part, the woman almost a little girl right now was already broken and breaking down before his eyes, this would break her finally "We cannot make an antidote in two days. What is all your mother has left. I am sorry, we will make it as painless as we can"

Then he walked away leaving Ziva and Tony before the closed door.

"Tony she…she cannot die…I just" And she broke down, the last bit of glue that held the already shattered pieces together vanished.

She felt like falling down a deep dark hole, in fact she fell down through her knees Tony got her. Trying to hold the pieces of her together, only now seeing that she was nothing more than a little girl. Who was being pushed away and replaced with a mask since her mother left.
