He stopped the car in front of the house he had seen in his dreams. She had told him were she was, after he had to promised to come alone. Well, he could not keep this promise. Gibbs and Ducky followed him into the house. He found her, where she was in his dreams. Leaning against the fireplace. And she was in the same condition.

"Ziva." He whispered and she opened her eyes.

When she saw Gibbs she tried to stand up, maybe she wanted to get away. Tony pushed her down; it was not as easy as he thought, for she was strong even in this condition.

"You promised." She whimpered as Ducky pressed his hand onto her wound. His hands were immediately covered in blood.

"I'm sorry." Tony said taking her hand.

"Let's get her into the car." Gibbs said.

Ducky showed Tony how to press his hand onto her wound and then helped him to transport her out of the house.

When they came out of the living-room she tried to run but fell down. Tony bent down. He could see, she was crying. "I don't want to go to a hospital!"

Gibbs helped her up: "We won't take you to a hospital. Just come with us, you'll be okay."

Ducky opened his mouth to say something but Gibbs shook his head: "I had to promise DiNozzo not arrest her or do anything that would result in that. We'll get her to my house and I hope you can save her life."

Ducky was not so sure about that, but he agreed.

It was raining again. Tony sat in Gibbs' living-room waiting and listening to the rain. He was lost in his thoughts. Up to now he had not ben sure if she also experienced these dreams but she had told him were to find her and she remembered the promise. There had to be an explanation or at least there was a hidden meaning.

"Can you tell me, what we are supposed to do now?" Gibbs asked angry.

"Wait." He stared to the ground.

"Tony… every cop in Washington DC is looking for her. She killed Kate!"

Tony stood up and looked at his Boss: "No, she didn't! But I think she knows who did. We should wait until Ducky is done with the wound and ask her."

Ducky came down half an hour later.

"Can we talk to her?" Gibbs asked.

He shook his head. "I sedated her; she'll be out for a few hours. But she is going to survive. Some of the survival skills she learned are really useful."

Tony smiled relieved and went up to the guestroom without waiting for Gibbs or Ducky.

Ducky and Gibbs stood outside the door and watched Tony as he took Ziva's hand in his. He sat on a chair while she was still asleep.

"This is not good. What will his fiancée say about it?" Ducky wondered.

"I don't know and I'm not sure what to think about it myself. From what we know, Ziva is the one who murdered Kate. The fact that Tony obviously has a connection in any way to her is disturbing and maybe even dangerous."

Before Ducky could say a word Tony called them. Ziva was waking up.

It took her about twenty minutes to wake up completely and take in the room. She did not ask how she got here or were she was but she was uncertain what to make of this situation.

While Ducky checked her vitals, Gibbs pulled another chair up to her bed.

She sat up and they could see that she felt dizzy for a moment.

"We need to talk." Gibbs said.

She just waited for him to say anything.

"You said you murdered Kate. We want to know why."

"She told me she didn't!" Tony hissed.

"Let her speak for herself."

Ziva cleared her voice: "I didn't."

"Then why did you confess?" Gibbs asked.

She hesitated but Tony took her hand again: "Tell us. We'll prove your innocence."

She bit her lip: "He told me to."

"Who?"

"Director David."

Tony, Gibbs and Ducky were taken aback. As far as they knew, Ziva was his daughter.

"What? Why?" Tony asked and when she did not answer he added: "Please, we can't help if you don't tell us."

She sighed: "I was on a mission about three months ago. The FBI asked for help with a case. Director David sent me together with Ari Haswari and Malachi Ben-Gidon… We could help to arrest an international terrorist. After that we went home and suddenly the NCIS asked for information about the death of an NCIS Agent. Our director questioned us in person. Malachi was first, Ari second and I was the last one. He told me, that I needed to confess. Your government wanted to have the killer so he had to deliver one. He chose me, because Ari has been trained to be a mole in the Hamas and for that he is a great value for the Mossad. Malachi trains several younger Agents. And I… I'm just a spy, a trained assassin but out of this group of people I have the least value."

"You are his daughter!" Tony shouted.

She looked at him: "That's right. But that is just a fact and no help for Israel."

Gibbs rubbed his face, he was shocked. Parents should do anything to help their children but this man had told his daughter to confess a crime she didn't commit.

"Why did you run?" he asked.

Her eyes became a little mocking: "Wouldn't you, if your next stop would be Guantanamo and you had the chance to run? By the way I tried to figure out who was the real killer."

"How? And would that help? Your father will deny that it was one of the others."

"That's why I needed evidence."

"Who do you think did it?" Gibbs asked.

She shrugged: "Ari or Malachi."

"Do you know them well?"

"Ari is my half-brother, I have known him all my life and Malachi is… well…."

"Your partner?" Tony asked.

"Your boyfriend?" Ducky said.

"Your sex-partner?" Gibbs concluded from her face and she made a gesture with her hand that showed that he was right.

"You sleep with that guy!?" Tony was suddenly very angry.

"So what? It's not like I'm cheating on someone else!" she said furious.

"What about me?!"

"You are engaged!"

Gibbs decided that he didn't really want to know about the exact nature of Tony's dreams. "Stop it!" he shouted, we need to find out what to do now."

At that moment his cell-phone rang and he answered it: "What is it McGee?"

"Boss, Abby is in a hospital. It seems like Ziva David has tried to kill her as she did with Kate!"
