Chapter Ten

The man nodded. "Yes. I am Qutaiba."

Ziva smirked. "Fitting." She rolled her eyes at him.

"Fitting?" Petty Officer Andrea turned to Ziva questioningly.

"I'll explain later." Ziva said keeping her focus on Qutaiba.

Frost glanced around trying to figure out where the marines were. He saw them all in a group against the back wall. He nudged Ziva where only she could tell.

Ziva nodded. "I'll make a distraction." She whispered. Then she stepped forward towards Qutaiba. "So, how did you know my brother?"

"Of course you would ask that Ziva." Qutaiba smirked to the Israeli.

Ziva walked forward a little more putting her gun back in its holster. "Let me know how you know him."

"Ah. Its quite the story Ziva. Ari and I used to be friends when we were young. I remember you were young as well."

Ziva tried to remember when Ari had been around him. Then she remembered. "I remember now. You were his best friend and then something happened."

"Yes. Something did happen. Your father accused mine of killing Tali in the bombing."

Ziva glanced over the man and saw he had a bomb strapped to himself. Then she glanced towards the marines quickly. Frost was now getting them out a back way he had found, Andrea and the others were helping.

"He did? Well I am sorry that happened." Ziva gave Frost a quick signal about the bomb as she kept her focus on Qutaiba.

"I'm sure you are." Qutaiba watched Ziva.

Ziva kept his attention on her as long as he could. She waited until she watched Andrea leave with the last captured marine. Then she began backing up.

"Ah Ziva leaving so soon?" Qutaiba smirked grabbing the trigger to the bomb out.

Ziva shook her head watching Frost and five marines come up behind. "No. I am finishing my mission here."

Then everything went too fast. Frost tried tackling Qutaiba and so did the other five. They moved too slow to be able to stop him from pushing the trigger. Then Ziva fell back hitting her head and back on the wall from the force of the explosion. Everything went black after that for her.

Tony walked into work ready to face whatever he had to deal with. The T.V was on the news as it had been every other time he'd come into the bull pen. Gibbs wanted to stay updated as he could on what was going on with Ziva.

Tony sat in his desk and began working.

"There was a suicide bombing in Iraq today." The news person said grabbing Gibbs, McGee, and Tony's attention.

All three heads popped up. Tony was the first to the T.V. McGee and Gibbs followed.

"A few marines dead as well as a Iraq man who was the bomber. A few are injured but thanks to a Mossad officer who works here with NCIS the marines except for the ones who are dead made it out alive. Besides the marines there are no known survivors at this time." The whole squad room became silent. They had heard the news to.

Tony stared at the T.V in unbelief.

Gibbs stormed up to Vance's office.

McGee was the first one to speak. "Tony?"

Tony walked to his desk silently. His feet dragging behind him, the only visible sign at the moment that he was hurt. As he sat Tony stared at Ziva's desk. "Zi," his voice wasn't even the one that everyone knew as the charming DiNozzo. Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo had been broken with one sentence. "There are no known survivors." That meant, Ziva David was gone.

"Is this what you wanted to happen? My agent is dead now. My team is broken!" Gibbs screamed at Vance. "How the hell can you call yourself a damn director when you sent Ziva to Iraq to be killed? She's dead now! I hope your damn happy about ruining my team!"

Vance glared at Gibbs. "You agreed to it. You're the team leader. You call their shots. You sent her to."

"Only because you wouldn't let me say no!" Gibbs yelled. "If it weren't for you Ziva would be down there in the bull pen giving DiNozzo hell! Instead I got a broken Senior Field Agent, and a completely shocked Probationary Field Agent down there who just lost their partner!"

"Its not completely my fault Jethro!" Vance yelled back standing to his feet.

Gibbs glared at the man. "Jenny would've never, never, put my agent's life on the line like this. And she was a way damn better director than you ever can be!"

"Well I'm not Jenny!"

"Damn right your not. Because if you were, I'd be yelling at you for something else!" Gibbs swiped his hand close to Vance's desk with so much force it knocked everything down. Pictures, the lamp, the computer even.

"Hope you have a damn good day." Gibbs snapped and left slamming the door behind him. He then went to the squad room to fix the damage that had been done to his now broken team.

Note:

Qutaiba- Means "irritable, impatient" in Arabic. I thought it was fitting for him to be named that considering how he's the one who "killed" Ziva. Hehe I just gave a hint. Naughty me :P So I hope y'all enjoy!
