The extreme guilt was eating at the blonde woman who went by the name of 'Marta' and was the girlfriend of Ari Haswari. She had not only witnessed him kill but also knew he was involved heavily in the kidnapping of his very own niece.
She looked at the curly haired, blue eyed child who called her 'Mama' as she knew no better. She was innocently unaware that her true mother was in America. Nor did she know of her her own kidnapping.
Marta discovered where Azzaraih, well Sarah's true mother was. She planned for weeks in secret how she would sneak the child back to the woman who gave birth to her.
Days later Azzariah stood holding her 'mothers' hand as they walked to a little cafe near the marine base where NCIS was located.
Earlier that day she had made a phone call to Ziva David and agreed to meet the dark haired Israeli to show her what she needed to. She hadn't thought that Ziva's team would follow and keep watch. As Marta approached Ziva she noticed the other agents there too.
Gibbs sat with Ziva at the table after being told where Ziva was intending on going; he refused to allow her to go alone. Secretly she was glad as she was still in love with him.
Timothy McGee and Anthony DiNozzo were sat at a table across the room.
Marta approached with Ziva's daughter, who grinned upon seeing the woman who Marta had explained was her true mother. Ziva's smile matched her little girl's, and her blue eyes sparkled in the same way as Gibbs' did.
Soon after returning the child to her rightful home, there was a loud noise as the cafe window shattered into millions of shards of glass. Marta fell to the ground, whilst Ziva pulled her child out of the way and shielded her with her own body, Jethro's hand was on Ziva in a protective manner.
Once the chaos had died down a little they soon realized that Martha had been killed. Killed for doing the right thing. Returning a stolen child.
Already knowing the culprit due to her conversation with the recently deceased blonde, Ziva held her child close and carried her out of the cafe whilst shielding her innocent face. Gibbs took his daughter and soon to be girlfriend back to his to protect them.
That was the day Leroy Jethro Gibbs began to lock his door again.
