Here is part 2, I kept changing and changing it, that's why it took a little longer than I anticipated in posting the second chapter. I hope you will like it, somehow somewhere in the back of my mind something is missing, and I cannot put my finger on it. Hopefully you'll tell me. It's short, but that is because I just couldn't quite get it up to speed.

Unkown factor

Part 2

All of a sudden after what appeared to be hours, and from what the team could see on tape it turned out the be indeed several hours Ziva turned around, she held some carkeys in her hand. " take these"

Kate looked at Ziva with a surprised look on her face. " why are you doing this"

Ziva completly ingnored Kate and stood up and pointed at a car standing at the end of what appeared to be a driveway.

" those are the keys to that black sedan, take it and leave when darkness falls"

" why are you doing this"

" because I think my brother has lost it, and somehow he has chosen you to be his muse, and this is my way of protecting him"

" Ari is you brother" asked Kate with a high pitched voice. Ziva never responded to that, like she didn't even noticed Kate's voice when she realized Ari turned out to be the woman's brother.

" when you get back, you will forget you ever saw me, you don't know me, or what I did here, you will not mention me to anyone, and I want you word on it"

Kate nodded "you have my word"

Which in a way was an easy deal to make since she had no clue as to who this woman was, she never mentioned her name or what she was doing here. Kate knew this much, she wasn't part of Ari's team because all she did was walk up to that damm lake in the morning and just sit there all day long, staring at it like a zombie.

That night Kate slipped out of the house and walked to the black sedan, she was praying no one would notice her being gone.

" I hope federal agents are better trained than you are, I could hear you leave from the other end of the house" Ziva stood in the dark near the car.

" God, woman you scared me" Kate looked at Ziva and for the first time noticed a slight smile on the young womans face.

" You live for this, don't you" said Kate as she slipped into the car.

" what are you doing" Ziva pointed to the house. " start the car here and they will come after you and I won't be able to do anything to save you then, put it in neutral en we'll push it further up the road so they won't hear it when you do start it."

The two woman pushed the car down the road, but it didn't take long for Ziva to start breathing heavily and shortly after that she stopped holding her ribcage in pain.

" this…..should………..do…….it, you better……get going" Ziva collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily. " Are you oke, you need medical attention" Kate walked over and wanted to help her get up again.

"Don't touch me. I don't want you to touch me, if I see one more doctor that gives me any kind of attention I'll put a bullet through his head"

Kate turned and walked back to the car, cleary not really knowing how to respons to such a verbal promise. "Well I just want to…. thanks"

" When you meet Ari again, he'll kill you."

" why"

" You got away" Ziva turned around and started walking towards her favorite spot, the lake.

" He will not harm you, will he, I mean for helping me"

" No"

Kate turned to the young woman. " for what's it's worth, thank you. I owe you my life"

Kate got into the car and noticed a gun lying on the seat next to her. She smiled, the woman had thought of everything. There was a note attached to it. " don't turn back or I will be your judge, jury and executioner"

MTAC was quite when the tape ended, the entire team was at a loss for words for what they had seen. Gibbs knew that Kate hadn't mention Ziva in any of her reports about the abduction, and as to how she got away from Ari, but now they all knew. The only reason Kate got away from Ari the first time was the fact that Ziva had given her a way out. Ziva was the unknown factor in Kate's report, the secret she had kept all that time. Gibbs had always know that Kate was hiding something, but he never in his wildest dream could have imaged that it could be Ziva.

The tape had shown the huge fight between Ziva and Ari when Ari came to realize his own sister helped to Kate get away, however he didn't hurt Ziva in anyway, but they all could cleary see the trust between brother and sister was gone. Gibbs realized with Ziva helping Kate get away she had lost her grip on Ari as a control officer, he didn't trust her enough anymore to confide in her. Ziva had abused his trust in her in order to get Kate out, and with that Ari had gotten more out of control then he already was, he had lost the trust in his one and only friend, his sister.

McGee was the first one to speak " Oh God, they knew each other, Kate and Ziva knew each other"
