Dowanhowee In Trouble:
"Hey does anybody know where Dow went?" Raisa asked as she came back into the room.
"I thought she went to the restroom to take some pills." Sarah said.
"She did and her pills are on the counter but she's not there."
Gibbs' phone rang and everyone looked at him.
"Abby what've you got for me?"
"Actually I think we may be heading back to the hospital."
"Why?"
"Dow
just collapsed in my lab after looking at some evidence…"
"And?"
"She's bleeding. By the looks of it, she's having a miscarriage. Ducky's getting her into his car now and I'm on my way with them."
"Alright, we're on our way."
"What's wrong Gibbs?" Ziva asked.
"That was Abby. Apparently Dow went down to the Forensic Lab to look at the evidence."
"And?" Annushka asked.
"She collapsed in a pool of blood, apparently having a miscarriage. There on there way to the hospital now. Ducky's taking them."
"So let's go, NOW!" Raisa screamed.
Everyone left Headquarters and headed for there cars, then headed for the hospital. Once there they ran in to find Ducky and Abby sitting in the waiting room, looks of worry on their faces. Abby looked like she was going to cry.
"Abby, are you okay?"
"I keep replaying the image of her collapsing in my head."
"She's going to be okay, Abby, don't worry. If I know Dow, and I do, she'll fight this. She has a daughter to look for. She won't give up unless she's forced to give up." Raisa said.
"Thank you Raisa but there was so much blood around her. Did anyone clean up my lab yet?"
"The cleaning crew is working on that right now. It'll be clean by the time you get back."
Everyone went quiet and it was like that for about two hours. The doctor came out and walked over to everyone, asking for family. Raisa stepped forward with her father.
"We're not her biological family, but she's like a daughter to me," Ilari told the doctor.
"Mrs. Vokivocummast has lost a lot of blood and we were unable to save the fetus. She's up in surgery now. We found a small stab wound to her lower back that I believe she was trying to conceal from everyone around her. They are repairing that now and she should be out soon."
"Wait, wouldn't you have found that when she was here last night?" Catherine asked.
"It wasn't there last night; believe me we checked her out thoroughly when she was brought in. I distinctly remember examining her and it wasn't there, so it had to have happened after she left the hospital this morning. I'm sorry." The doctor let them go on up to the surgical level to wait for me to come out and go to recovery.
Gibbs turned to Raisa, her father, the Mercs and the CSI's and there team from Las Vegas.
"Has she done this before? Hidden an injury so that she can get back to work?"
"Only a couple of times, but we always caught them in time or her husband would call and ask if she had told us about her latest injury. Despite the fact that she was no longer a Merc, she still felt that she had to do the work of a Merc. And if I'm correct, she's been hiding a secret from you Special Agent David. I think Agent David's brother was one of the missions she was sent on. And if I'm correct that mission was to kill Alejandro David, a potential danger to the President," Raisa finished.
Ziva looked as if she had been hit in the stomach. If she had known I was the one who had killed her brother, she wouldn't have gotten so close to me. She had known I was a Merc but didn't know what missions I had been sent on.
(AN--I don't know if Ziva has a brother I just made him up so Dow could have a mission that would piss Ziva and the rest of the team off. Sorry if it sound a little confusing. Oh and Raisa name sounds like Ray-sha.)
Ziva and the rest of the team looked over at the Mercs, who had not served with me but knew what I was capable of.
"Do you know if that is true, Mr. Morozov?" Ziva asked.
"All I know is that she was sent on a couple missions before she went back to the states with her father when she was fourteen. She may have had a hand in taking out your brother but I won't know, you'll have to ask her, but I doubt she'll talk about it. The last mission she went on was the one she was tortured on. Iraqi terrorists I believe."
"I'm sure. Look I'm headed back to Headquarters, Boss, need me to do anything on the way?"
"No, I'm going with you. So is the rest of the team. Let's go. She is no longer part of this investigation."
