So here is Chapter 3. I figured since some people reviewed that I would upload for them. I am also getting more favorites and views but no reviews. For those of you who are not writers, we authors actually read your reviews and use them to better our writing, so they are noticed. So anyway there is my speech for the night.
Disclaimer- they're not mine because if they were, the show would be running somewhat like this story.
Chapter 3
I looked at him confused but by then he was already opening the door. I walked in and saw the last person I thought it would be.
"Hello Katan."
"Hello Saba"
I stared at the screen as Shaliev tightened his arm around my waist, effectively pulling me closer to him.
"How are you doing my granddaughter? How is life treating you and your mother?"
"What can I help you with today Director?
" Can I not just call my granddaughter to make small talk?"
"No. Is this call personal or professional?"
He sighed and looked down at his desk.
"Mossad needs you for a highly classified mission. Very dangerous but necessary. Your skill as well as your age is needed to complete this mission. You will fly out tomorrow."
"I cannot accept Director. I have business of my own to attend to here. It is of the utmost importance."
"What, or shall I say whom, is this business for?"
"Only time will tell. It is personal."
"Then you shall fly out tomorrow. Your duty to country should and will come first."
"I have no ties to that country anymore. My family and loved ones are here and America is where I shall remain."
He sighed again and looked me in the eyes through the camera.
"Katan please do not make me do this the hard way. You will not like the outcome."
Shaliev pulled me tighter to him and looked up at the screen towards the director.
"I will not let you touch her Director. She might be your granddaughter but you are no grandfather to her. I will personally make sure you do not touch her."
Eli laughed out loud and then looked back at us.
"What will you do Shaliev? I own you too."
At this point I was about to give in and just go when Gibbs stepped up. I had completely forgotten he was in the room.
"He might not be able to do much but I can director. Do not forget who saved her from a death sentence you Ok'd for Shaliev and, ultimately her too."
"How was I supposed to know she would go after him?"
"You knew damn well that she would do anything for him and him for her. This includes dying to save the other. I will not allow you to put this kind of pressure on them nor will I allow you to send them on another suicide mission. I have a legal gin given to me by the United States government that I can and will shoot you with."
"Is that a threat Agent Gibbs?"
"No Eli, it is a promise."
With that Gibbs cut the feed and I ran out of MTAC and onto the Catwalk. I was leaning over the railing when I felt Shaliev wrap his arms around me from behind. I turned quickly in his arms and let the tears fall as I hid my face in his shirt. Gibbs came up next to us and started running his hand up and down my back.
"Katan I will not let him get to you. I will do whatever it takes to keep you two safe."
I looked up at Gibbs with the silent tears flowing down my face.
"You don't understand Gibbs. He will find us and he will do worse than anything that can happen to us on that mission. I do not want to go but it seems as if I have no choice, I must go."
"Oh no you don't have to go. We lost you twice already and I am not going to let it happen again."
He pulled me out of Shaliev arms and into his.
"You are going to stay here with your family. We will keep you safe. You and Shaliev are going to stay with Abby and McGee…"
"No he might not know where they live right now but he will find out and I refuse to put them in danger."
"Then a safe house or my house."
"Same rules apply to you Gibbs and the safe house might work for a little but he will eventually find out where all the safe houses are and find us. The truth is that no matter where I go he will find me. I have nowhere to go that is safe for both if us as well as the host."
Gibbs went to say something when he was interrupted by a woman behind him.
"The two of them can stay with me."
We both turned to look at her and while I stared on, Gibbs jaw dropped in shock. I looked down and took notice of her visitors badge but could not make out her name. She chuckled looking at me then back at Gibbs.
"Close your mouth Gibbs, you'll catch flies. You look like you've seen a ghost. "
I looked up at Gibbs as he was finally able to break out of his state of shock and utter one word.
"Kate?"
Yep, she's back! Review please and I'll have the next chapter up soon.
