Ok, i'm soooo sorry that it's been such a long time but in my other stories it's been hectic... they've been at exciting points in their storylines, well in any case one of them certainly has :-p But here it is and i gave you a recap so you can remember what happened last time.
Recap
"She said he's really annoying and everything, but there was something in her eye and the way he looked at her as we left this morning… what do you think?"
"I think if you can work that out in one day, they're complete idiots to have not noticed three years down the line. I totally agree with you." Then a smile crept across her face, "Do you wanna see the video tapes of when they went undercover?"
"You kept them?"
"Well yeah in case any other evidence is needed to prove it to them! But things get a little steamy."
"I can cope," she raised her eyebrows, "who were they undercover as?"
"Married assassins."
"You're joking!"
"I am so not, do you want a caf-pow while we watch the show?" She smiled at Aali.
"No thanks."
"Things are about to get interesting around here."
Both girls giggled and settled down to watch.
Chapter 5
Aali's mouth hung open in shock as it stopped, and turned to Abby smiling. "You weren't kidding."
"Nope! And a few weeks later they were stuck in a container together for hours!"
"When was this?"
"About three years ago."
"Three years! And they're still not together?"
"Nope." Abby sucked up her caf-pow. "But you should see the way he looks at her when he thinks she's not looking, and the way she looks at him when she thinks he's not looking." She smiled.
"We have to do something about this."
"Yeah, but what?"
The team's crime scene…
"Tony will you ever get less annoying?" Ziva asked frustrated, after being interrogated by him the whole drive to the crime scene.
"I don't think so, and am I not allowed to be curious when a sixteen year old girl that looks exactly like my partner turns up and then my partner takes the said girl home?"
"No," she snapped "and I am driving on the way back."
A look of horror dawned on Tony's face and Ziva smiled, satisfied.
They walked into the petty officers hotel room, the petty officer was dead, a tanned skinned man was next to him and a woman was dead on the floor.
Ziva dropped the equipment she was holding and ran to the woman lying on the floor.
"Ziva, ZIVA, what the hell? Don't touch her you'll contaminate the evidence." Tony shouted.
"What the hell is going on here? Ziva?" Gibb's said.
She was knelt next to the dead woman murmuring something in Hebrew.
"Ziva!" Gibb's yelled.
"I know this woman." She said softly, her back turned to them.
"Well who is she; we don't have an ID yet."
"Her name is Kalia Eeli, she looked after Aaliyah. She was Tali's best friend; and like a sister to me."
"Who is Tali?" Gibb's asked.
"Tali is her little sister boss, she died when she was sixteen in a Hamas suicide bombing."
"And you know this how Dinozzo?"
"She told me when you ordered me to follow her, we ended up at the hotel she had known I was following her. She told me outside the hotel, it was raining…" Tony thought back to that time, when they had first met…
Ziva had gone back to mumbling in Hebrew.
"Ziva, come on we need to process the scene." Tony said gently.
She turned around and to his surprise her face had tear streaks down it, he felt a pang, he wanted to hold her and make her feel better. It was completely normal; he just didn't like seeing his partner in any kind of pain. Nothing more. It wasn't unusual for him to want to run up and hold her until she felt better. Completely normal partner-like behaviour.
She wiped the tears away, embarrassed.
He had never seen her cry, not in all the time he had known her. It was a bit of a shock to be honest.
McGee chose that moment to walk in with Ducky and Jimmy.
"Are you alright Ziva?"
Immediately she shut off in the presence of other people.
"I am fine, we should process the crime scene."
"Ziva do you know the other two?" Gibb's pointed at the other victims.
"One of them is ex-mossad, he quit, the other I have no idea."
"You can quit mossad?" Tony asked.
"No, that is why he is dead Tony."
"Oh right."
"I presume the other one is our petty officer?" She said.
"Yes. Look Ziva do you have any idea why your friend and this mossad person might be dead?"
There was a pause.
"Ziva?"
"Be quiet Tony I am trying to think." She snapped.
"Sorry." He said putting his hands up.
She cursed in Hebrew.
"Pardon?" Tony said.
"There is no other explanation, why would they be here otherwise, admittedly it is not Mossad style, but they know I'm with NCIS, they know where-"
"Slow down, what are you on about." Tony asked.
"Gibb's ring Abby quickly," she cried a look of utter panic on her face, "They are after Aaliyah!"
So... what do you think? Did you see that one coming???? Lol.
Please review, they make me very happy :-)
