The three were home, packed and back in the office in record time. Gibbs and Ducky decided that Petty Officer Jane Tuttle's sister would be living in London, and the field office there needed their help, and that of a forensic scientist. From London they would catch a ferry and then a train to Paris.

Without Mossad or Vance finding out.

Paris

Ziva looked at her watch again. She had been standing in the railroad station for half an hour. The problem? Her partner was in surgery that, if for some reason failed, would very possibly kill him.

Her worried thoughts were interrupted when the train pulled up. She watched people disembark without paying much attention to them. Then Abby ran out of the crowd with McGee and Gibbs behind her. Abby threw her arms around Ziva and hugged her.

"Ziva! Oh my God! I can't believe it's you!" Abby gushed.

Ziva just stood there with Abby's arms around her feeling vaguely overwhelmed. After a minute, Tim put his hand of Abby's shoulder and gently pulled her away. Ziva smiled at Abby and hugged McGee.

"Hello, Tim."

"Hey, Ziva. How's Tony?" Ziva shook her head. "I don't know."

Ziva pulled away and faced Gibbs. The man who had become her father pulled her into his arms, and the torrent of emotions finally caught up with her. She put her head on his shoulder and cried her heart out there, in the train station, with her surrogate father's arms around her, crying, crying, crying.

"Director, I have bad news." Liat skipped all formalities as she walked it.

"What is it?" Orli motioned to the hard wooden chair in front of her desk.

"Agent DiNozzo is alive, and Malachi dead." Liat's expression showed not the slightest trace of emotion for her dead partner and lover.

"How?" Orli frowned slightly. "Malachi was a trained Mossad agent. Anthony DiNozzo was not."

"He was killed by one of our own." Orli raised an eyebrow and Liat elaborated. "Ziva David killed him and took Agent DiNozzo to the hospital. Ziva then met Agents Gibbs and McGee and their forensic scientist at the railroad station. They are going to the hospital now."

"Alright. I will make a call."

"I am sorry, Director."

"Goodbye."

Liat stood up and walked out. Orli picked up her phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Leon, we have a problem. What do you suggest we do about it?"
