This chapter is only Ziva's conversation in MTAC. So it might be a little bit short. I'll try really hard to make it longer!
Chapter 4
"Yes Malachi?" Ziva began.
"Will you be helping with this investigation? Can you help with your father's wishes?" asked Malachi immediately.
"You heard my director. We might, we might not. It all depends on what my coworkers decide. You must not forget, Malachi, why we were in Israel last time. It has not left a great impression on my friends." Ziva reminded him.
"Does it really matter what your coworkers think? These are your father's orders," the Mossad officer retorted.
Ziva was taken aback by his statement. Malachi was beginning to push her buttons, but she came back instantly. "Of course it matters what they think! They are not only my friends and my team, but they are my family!"
"They are not your family Ziva! Your family is gone! Your father, your mother, and Talia died here! And may I remind you that Agent Gibbs killed your brother?" Malachi shouted.
The tears were welling in the back of Ziva's eyes. It took willpower to think about her family, especially Ari and Tali. She decided to stop the yelling. "I will see if we can visit Tel Aviv for the case. Not because I am obeying wishes. But because I want to find my father's orders," she calmly said.
"Thank you Ziva. I look forward to solving this murder. For the sake of Mossad and your father. I imagine that you'll want to help reveal your father killer. Help to have closure in this situation maybe?"
Ziva just nodded lightly. After a few moment of silence, Ziva spoke again. "Malachi?"
"Yes Ziva?"
"Do not get your hopes up. I can promise nothing to you…Except for one thing."
"And what is that one thing Agent David?"
"That I will consider. And if I choose to go, I will try to convince my friends to support and join me in my decision." Ziva said solemnly.
"I will keep that in mind. Thank you Ziva."
"You are welcome Malachi. Good luck dealing with Mossad."
"Shalom, Ziva."
"Shalom, Malachi."
Ziva waved her hand across her neck, the signal to stop the feed. The next thing she saw was the colored stripes on the screen. Without another thought, she turned and walked out of MTAC.
Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews and alerts that I'm getting! I really appreciate it, and the more you guys review, the faster I'll post! I'm really sorry that I wasn't posting for like...EVER! I was cramming my schedule, and I wasn't remembering to post!
BTW, my chapters are a little bit short. Keep a look out though! Here's why: If my sixth chapter is this short (or impossibly shorter) chances are pretty high that most chapter will be this short. But please keep reading! And don't forget!
