CHAPTER 5: Missing
It was 3am when Gibbs and Jenny finally went to bed the night. After discussing what they were going to do the following day about Ziva. Ziva lay awake in her room listening to their conversation, and then their slow deep breaths as they slept. Finally she thought as she opened up her window, looking back at her bed she made sure everything was in order incase someone checked on her. She used some blankest to make a body like lump and then threw the cover over it. Checking to make sure she had her knife, she slowly and quietly made her way out onto the roof. Ziva remembered the interior of the house and so she knew exactly where Gibbs and Jenny slept, so she avoided that area as she quietly made her way towards the front of the house. Once she arrived there, Ziva jumped down landing cat-like in the grass. She waited for a minute, making sure no one had woken up or heard her, but she still could only hear their soft breaths as they slept. (Ziva has kick ass hearing like a bat…and plus all the windows were open in the house). Satisfied she leaped over the gate and then surveyed the suburban neighborhood. It was a quiet looking neighborhood, and there didn't seem to be soul awake at this hour, besides Ziva of course. She walked around for a while investigating the neighborhood, and then went back to the Gibbs house where she climbed the railing on the patio and swung her legs back into her room. It was 5:30 in the morning, and Ziva put on her running clothes. She moved the blankets back to where they were supposed to be she made her way back out through the window and once she got onto the street she put her headphones in her ears and started to run the 5 miles she ran everyday.
Gibbs woke up around 6 as he normally did and went downstairs to start the coffee and breakfast knowing his kids would be up soon. Jenny slowly made her way down the stairs and smiled when she saw her husband looking at the coffee maker, willing it to go faster so he could drink his first cup of the day.
"Morning Jethro"
"Morning Jen" Gibbs said giving her a quick kiss on the lips
"MORNING DAD MORNING MOM!" yelled Abby as she ran down the stairs closely followed by Tony and Tim.
The three kids gave their parents a hug and then looked around.
"Where's Ziva?" Tony asked
"Haven't seen her yet, she may not be an early rise…I'm gonna go check on her." Said Jenny
A minute later…
"JETHRO!" Gibbs bolted from where he was and ran up the stairs and into Ziva's room where Jenny was standing. Ziva wasn't there. Gibbs swore inwardly to himself and then wondered where she went this early in the morning.
"Check outside I'll check the basement meet in the kitchen in 5" Gibbs said as he ran down stairs to the basement to see if she was there. She wasn't however and when they met back in the kitchen he found out that Jenny didn't have any luck either.
"Okay should we call the police?" Jenny asked panicking a little
"Hon, we would only be calling NCIS because it's our kid, let's call my team Kate, Jacob and Daniel." He was just about to pull out his phone when Ziva, wearing shorts (her weapon concealed in the waistband but they don't know it yet) and a tank top came walking through the doors still listening to her iPod. She looked up, feeling eyes on her and found they were all up and looking at her. She sighed pulled out her headphones and said
"Morning"
"Ziva where have you been?" Jenny asked sternly.
"I went for my run, I do it every morning and I stick to a firm schedule by doing that" Ziva said
"You went running at 6 am?" Tim asked as he looked at her incredulously
"Technically it was 5:30 but yes I run for 5 miles every morning and then I eat breakfast and then train. But I'm assuming im not doing that anymore, but I still like to keep in shape." Ziva said as if it were nothing
"Okay well can you tell us or leave a note next time?" asked Gibbs
"Why? I was only gone for what…45 minutes-ish?"
"Because we woke up and had no idea where you were, Jenny and I have a lot of enemies someone could have-"
"So? I have a lot of enemies too" Ziva said cutting off Gibbs.
"Not those kinds of enemies Ziva, like the ones you get in fights with at school he means actual enemies like criminals" said Tony rolling his eyes at his sister for her ignorance
"I know Tony, and I am saying that I too have enemies that are criminals." Ziva said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world
"Whaa- ? How?" Said Tony
"Because I—I work for Mossad"
"Not anymore" said Gibbs
"Okay well whatever how did we get on this I merely said that I have enemies too" Ziva said confused
"Is working at Mossad cool?" Tony asked
"NO!" yelled Jenny "It is not a good thing to work there! They are ALL very bad people and their leader is a horrible man who is a criminal like the ones your father and I catch" Jenny blurted not realizing her mistake until Ziva spoke.
"So…what you're saying is that I am too a criminal then because all people working for Mossad are bad people…well thanks for clearing that up Jenny. I think I'll be heading back to Tel Aviv and my criminal FATHER now." Ziva said and ran up the steps to her room.
Authors Note:
So I saw that some people really want Ziva to get along with them, and don't worry, she will, but you have to remember, she's 9 years old and it's a lot to go through at that age. And also, it's her first real night there. So Please review I'd like your input. If you guys have any ideas or… yeah let me know J
