Ziva hated leaving her kids. She had left them with Gibbs and the team before but for some reason this was different. She trusted Sam but it was weird. She was about to leave but was giving Sam some last minute instructions. Abby was waiting in the car. 15 minutes went by before Abby went into the house.

"Ziva, honey, it's going to be fine. Let's go, we're gonna be late if we don't leave now. Sam is a big girl. I'm sure she can handle them fine."

"I know I'll be right there." She started to leave and turned to Sam. "Call me or Abby if anything happens or if you need anything." Sam nodded. "Make sure yo-" Abby grabbed Ziva's arm.

"Hey I was in the middle of giving her very important instructions. I could hurt you very seriously you know. You shouldn't have done that."

"Ziva will you shut up for a moment. I know but the twins will be fine. Sam seems responsible. You left her with what seems like plenty. We have to go. You can call her when we've been at work for at least an hour. When they got to work the team was very glad Ziva was back. They hadn't been very busy but when they had had cases it wasn't the same with out Ziva. Agent Lee had been filling in but Dinozzo still thought she was way too uptight. She got in and sat at her desk. Gibbs was the only person who wasn't at his desk when she came in. Ziva figured he was up talking with Jen. A few minutes later Gibbs walked down.

"Let's go we gotta case." Dinozzo jumped up followed closely by Ziva. It took about an hour to get to the crime scene but with Gibbs driving only half an hour. It was at a boot camp. When they got out of the car Gibbs gave them the details.

"24 year old female found strangled in her bunk. No one saw anything. Ziva you interview her officers and the people in her bunk. Dinozzo sketch and photograph the crime scene. McGee do whatever you normally do."

"On it boss" all three answered at the same time. Ziva went over to a young women who was Emily's best friend.

"I'm agent David. Mind if I ask you some questions?" The girl shook her head. She had red eyes from crying. She was about 5 feet tall dark brown hair and a slim frame. "How did you know the victim?"

"She was my….my best friend….sin….since we got here." She said between sobs.

"Have you noticed her acting strangely lately?" The girl shook her head.

"Was she seeing anyone that you knew of?"

"No the last guy she dated left for school. After that she never really um dated anyone."

"Did she have any enemies that you knew of?"

"She was a really loveable person. Why would someone do such a thing?"

"I'm not sure but we're going to do everything we can to find who did." Ziva walked away and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed her home number then walked to the car. After a few rings Sam picked up. Ziva heard one of the twins screaming.

"Hello, David/ Scutio residents."

"Hey Sam it's me."

"Oh Ziva hey. How's your first day back goin?"

"It's going ok. How are the babies?"

"They're ok. Mark is a little fussy right now. Kate has been very mellow today."

"Did you try rocking Mark?"

"Yea right now I am walking around with him."

"Why don't you try taking him and Kate for a walk around the block. You know where the stroller is right?"

"Yea I'll see if I can calm him down a little first. If I put him in his stroller then he might hurt himself."

"Alright well if you can't get him to calm down call me and let me know."

"Will do. Have a good day."

"I will thank you so much for doing this."

"No problem. See you later. Bye"

"Bye"
