A/N: Where will Ziva & Ari find the terrorists?

They used their fake Turkish passports so not arouse suspicion at either airports. By the time they had arrived at their safe house, which Ari had arranged, and unpacked and sorted everything it was well after midnight They both feel asleep on the couches.

Ziva was the first to wake the next morning, for a split second she had forgotten where she was and why, but that second came and went. She took stock of all the 'materials' Ari had organised, there was a lot in front of her, she wondered where he got it all from, Mossad would never have allowed this transfer that is for sure. They had everything that could possibly need and much more. He hadn't told her where he acquired it all from, not even where he got the safe house from, which did seem a little odd to her, but she trusted him, so she went along with it, without asking too many questions.

Ari woke and the two of them set off to find the remaining members of the Hamas cell responsible for murdering their sister.

Ari's intel was good, they found the 2 men within 4 hours, they were held up in a Hamas safe house. Ironically or on purpose, more than likely Ziva thought the house was adjacent to Cairo's only Synagogue, they probably chose it because they thought Mossad wouldn't want any harm to come to the synagogue during a raid. It was for this very reason that she and Ari had decided that they had to acquire their targets while they were out of the house.

During the next 48 hours they monitored the safe house, following the men where ever they went. Mossad had trained them well in blending in to retrieve vital information while remaining undetected. Both Ari and Ziva were able to gather a large amount of information including names, home towns, favourite foods, family members.

At one point one of the men even tried to pick up Ziva and thanks to that conversation. Ziva was able to learn that he and the other cell member were leaving the next day for Bahrain. At which point Ziva politely turned down his advances and excused herself. If this was true they had little time to act, they had to do what they came to do before the men left Cairo, otherwise they might very well be lost forever.

The rest of the day Ziva and Ari spent devising the plan and going over all the details again and again. The timing had to be perfect and it would be, they had after all been trained by the best in the world. Ziva remembered a previous mission, her very first in fact, where one of her fellow agents was one minute late with his arrival. That caused a chain reaction which resulted in the death of 3 innocent Palestinian kids, who were truly innocent and not the "innocent" ones shown on TV whom had previously been firing on Israeli soldiers, these kids were playing hop scotch when they died. Ziva would not let that happen ever again, no innocent blood would be split. Only those two Hamas terrorist would die, they would suffer and then die.

The plan was simple, very simple; both Ziva & Ari knew that making it complicated just led to problems. With no backup they could not afford to have any problems arise, especially as they would only get one shot at it. That night Ziva didn't sleep well, but that was normal, she never slept well the night before a mission, she was filled with too much adrenalin. She glanced over at Ari, he was sound asleep; he always slept well, no matter what was happening, she remembered one time when they were young on holiday up in Haifa, her father had to physically shake him to wake him up during a bombing alert as he had slept through the warning alarm.
