Gibb and Jenny waited at the airport for the private jet from the Israeli government. Gibbs knew why Jenny had insisted to go with him. Because she thought he would kill the bastard who shot Kate right away. When the door of the jet opened a man stepped out. He was tall. Broad shoulders, almost white hair and glasses. Gibbs had never seen him but knew who he was. Eli David, the director of Mossad. A young, good looking man followed him. He was introduced as Officer Ben-Gidon. The next person was a woman. She looked terrible. Her face was swollen and she could only open one eye. Apparently she had gotten into a serious fight. Gibbs caught his breath when the director told them that her name was Ziva David. But he didn't mention any relation between them. The last person, who exited the jet made Gibbs almost draw his gun. Ari Haswari. He looked similar to the woman with all his bruises and wounds on his face.
"Director Shepard. You can take the murderer of Agent Todd in custody Now." Director David said and Jenny nodded sadly.

Tony had invited Wendy for breakfast. He was feeling guilty about last night and wanted to make it up. She was pleasantly surprised and started to talk about all the details her mother had discussed with her for the wedding. Tony didn't really listen, his mind was elsewhere. He thought about who had hurt the woman in his dreams. Surely Doctor Wood would have to say a lot about him dreaming about a hurt woman. She would surely tell him, that it was his guilt towards Wendy that made his subconscious dream about the bruises of another woman. Or something like that.
When he arrived at work he met McGee and Mulder at the elevator.
"We have Kate's murderer in custody. Gibbs is down in the interrogation-room, he wants us for observation."
Tony followed them and grim joy flooded through his veins. Now he was finally getting revenge for the death of his friend.
"I heard that the director set up new security for our suspect." McGee said as they passed the door with the guard.
"We now also have one of these tables where you can cuff the suspect to an iron bar in the middle." Mulder said opening the door to the interrogation room.
The first thing Tony saw was the back of his Boss. And then he saw the suspect… No! That could not be right. Surely his alarm clock had go ring any second. This was another dream. On the other side of the table sat the woman he met in his dreams. But it could not be her. He had cured those wounds and bruises last night. Why was she in there, cuffed with both hands to the iron bar in the middle of the table?
"Her name is Ziva David. She was an officer in Mossad before she joined the Hamas." Mulder read from a file. "And oh my god, she is director David's daughter."
McGee grinned: "Well, I'm glad we've got her. What do you think will Gibbs tactic be?"
Tony didn't answer. He was in shock. He had dreamed about her every night. They had made love. And now he found out that she had killed his partner, his friend. No wonder that they never talked in his dreams.
Mulder and McGee didn't notice how silent Tony had become.
"That depends. Did she already confess?" Mulder asked.
"No, she hasn't said a word since she got caught." McGee said.
"Then I'm sure Gibbs will be the bad cop. Nothing else will work on her."
Mulder was right. Gibbs interrogated the woman for over two hours. He even started to slam the chair she was sitting on against the wall. Making her going down to her knees, because she could not stand straight while being cuffed to the table. But she didn't say a single word. In fact she didn't even look at him, she fixed her eyes on a spot of the table.
"We will classify you as a terrorist. Do you know what we do with terrorists? Guantanamo is not a nice place. But you could confess and tell us what the Hamas is going to do next and maybe we won't send you to Guantanamo." Gibbs said.
She looked at him for the first time but didn't speak. The door opened and a good looking man entered.
"What is it, Officer Ben-Gidon?" Gibbs asked angrily.
"She needs a break. Both directors want her to have a break." He said.
Gibbs seemed to be beyond angry now but he went out of the room and Tony heard the Officer talking to Ziva in Hebrew. She still didn't answer.
Only seconds later the door to the observation room opened and Gibbs stormed in: "He is giving her advice how to cooperate." He said watching the man talk. "McGee, Mulder I want pictures of Kate and her family. Childhood, youth whatever you can find. DiNozzo, you'll find out everything about Ziva David. Don't ask the director just try to find information about her."
"On it, Boss." McGee said and they headed out of the room.
It was strange. Only a few hours ago, Tony would have done everything to find out more about her. Now he had her name and she was accused of a terrible crime. He didn't want to know her now. And he certainly hoped that she would not come back into his dreams, because he didn't want her there. He wanted Ziva David to be gone. He wanted her to be dead. While digging up her past he remembered her cold lifeless eyes. The eyes that had only watched the table and once looked up at his Boss just once. But he also remembered her warm eyes. The eyes that he looked into in his dreams. The eyes he had fallen in…. no! He was not in love with Kate's murderer. He was going to marry Wendy. Kate's friend!

"Why did you agree to a break for her? She almost confessed!" Gibbs asked and slammed the door shut. Jenny looked at him. Her eyes were red as if she had been crying.
"She is just a suspect."
"Eli David said she is guilty, what kind of man would accuse his daughter of such a crime if she is innocent?" Gibbs asked furious.
"Eli David is a bastard!" Jenny almost spit out these word: "Do you want to know what he wants for giving us his daughter? He wants Ari Haswari on your team. He doesn't care, if she did it or not! He probably forced her to be a suspect. I know Ziva I worked with her, she saved my life! If she really killed Kate she would have confessed it by now. She is an honest person and a terrible liar!"
Gibbs had trouble to understand what he heard. "He wants Ari in my team? Why? And how do you know she is innocent?"
"I don't know."
"What? Tell me, Jenny. What is it you don't know? Why he wants him in my team or why you think she is not Kate's killer?"
"Both! Just give her a break. Continue tomorrow."
"What if she doesn't confess?"
"Then Eli David will take her back to Israel along with Ari. That would be the best for all of us." Jenny said tiredly.
"You think so? Because then we will never catch the one who shot Kate. I want her to confess and she will not leave that room until I know why she did it!"

Tony had looked into Ziva's past and found something interesting. He was on his way back to the observation room but first he had to stop Abby from storming into the interrogation room.
She had wanted to see the woman who had shot her friend. McGee took her back to her lab after he handed Gibbs the photos he had asked for.
Tony also gave Gibbs his information and then watched his Boss going back into the room. Gibbs had grinned when he saw the notes Tony made about her past. Ben-Gidon went out but not without mentioning that he would tell his Boss about the ongoing interrogation.
Gibbs sat down. He looked at the woman in front of him. And then laid out a picture of Kate after she was shot.
"She was my Agent." He said quietly and took out a next picture. "This is her sister Rachel." The next picture was one with Kate and her sister as they were children. "They were not close, when Kate lived but her Rachel doesn't understand why she had to die. She loved her. Kate was her sister and now she is gone."
Ziva showed a reaction to his words. She looked at the pictures and then at Gibbs.
"You had a sister too. Wouldn't you give everything to know who killed her? The name of the suicide-bomber? Just to have a little peace for your soul and hers? Kate's family deserves that peace, don't you think?" Gibbs words were soft. Tony knew he was now playing the farther or understanding uncle and to his surprise it worked.
"I did it. I killed her." Ziva whispered.
After that she didn't say another word. Even when Gibbs hung his jacket over the camera and pretended that he wanted to kill her right away. Late in the evening he left her in the room and told everyone she was not to get out.

It was almost midnight, when Tony finally entered the interrogation-room. McGee had taken Abby home. Gibbs was somewhere, Tony didn't know and Mulder was with Wendy.
When he turned on the light Ziva moved and looked at him. She smiled. He couldn't believe it, she really smiled. She was happy to see him. Of course, because she didn't know who he was or what he was going to.
"Hi." She said and wanted to move but her cuffed hands didn't allow her to.
He said nothing and walked over to her. He watched the joy in her eyes disappear and then confusion clouded them. And then the fear. But that only lasted for a moment because he slammed her head to the surface of the table and pressed his gun to her temple. He went down so his mouth was at her ear and whispered: "Ziva, this is for Kate." Then he pulled the trigger.
After he had killed her he walked out… and straight back in. He didn't know how that happened he had not even turned around. But now he was standing in the room and the light was turned off. He turned it on and Ziva looked at him.
"I… I just killed you." He said.
She nodded: "Yeah, took me an hour to fall back asleep."
"I killed you only seconds ago."
"Time is a funny thing, especially in dreams." She answered.
Tony walked over to the table and sat down on Gibbs chair. So this was a dream again.
"Who are you?" she asked.
He didn't answer.
"Hey, you know my name now. And you killed me so I think I have the right to know."
"I'm Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. I was Kate's partner."
"Would you take those off? They hurt." She asked and looked at the cuffs. She seemed to sense his hesitation and said: "I'm not going to run. How could I, this is a dream, right?"
She was right and he uncuffed her. She rubbed her wrists. And looked at him.
"Why did you kill Kate?" he asked.
"I didn't."
"Then why did you confess?"
"Because I wanted to give her family peace. And her friends."
He did not believe that.
"Nobody confesses a crime like that just because somebody shows some pictures."
"I take it you watched the interrogation. Well, then you know why I did it. And by the way interrogation with pain more efficient."
"We don't torture. Who killed Kate?"
"I don't know. I was told to…."
"What? What were you told to do? You were told to confess right? By whom?"
She bit her lip and looked at him: "You know what's funny? In the last three month I was longing for you, not only in my dreams. I thought I was in love with you. Now I finally could meet you in person and I know it cannot be." She said with tears in her eyes.
He got up: "It could never. I'm engaged." He said and left the room. This time for sure.
