A/N: Sorry so busy right now I don't have much time to update…
"Jethro, could you go with Abigail, Timothy and Anthony, please?" Jenny asked her husband, wanting to talk to Ziva in private. Gibbs was about to take Tony, Abby and McGee away when Ziva spoke.
"Tony can stay. Please." She said, quietly. Jenny looked at her strangely, but let Tony stay anyway.
Once the door closed behind Gibbs, McGee and Abby, Jenny looked at the two.
"Ziva?" She asked, looking at the Israeli girl.
"You cannot tell my father I told you. He'll kill me!" Ziva's voice rose to a crescendo at the end of the sentence. "Please!"
"Ziva, something has to be done." Jenny told her truthfully. "I don't have a choice. I have to report this."
"He'll kill me…" Ziva begged Jenny to leave it, and Tony took her hand in his, and she felt comforted at his touch.
"Ma'am, is there any way you can convict him without letting him know Ziva said about it?" Tony asked Jenny.
"There is one way…" Jenny began. "Only he might want to kill Tony instead of you, Ziva."
Ziva bit her lip and Tony shrugged.
"What do I have to do?"
Gibbs had taken McGee and Abby into the interrogation room after buying them each a can of coke and a candy bar. He noted how when the pair sat down, they seemed to unconsciously move their chairs closer together. He smiled. Neither seemed to realize the other liked them. Abby didn't seemed to have noticed that McGee was basically infatuated with her.
Only he was too shy to admit it, Gibbs noticed.
"Why are we here?" Abby asked. "Why are Tony and Ziva talking to Jenny?"
"I can't tell you that, Abby." Gibbs replied, bound by the fact that he didn't actually know about Ziva's father.
"Is Ziva okay?" Abby carried on. "I mean, we found her, right? Can't she go home?"
"There are a few legalities to sort out first…" Gibbs tried to explain it in the best way possible, but found it hard.
"Poor Ziva." Abby sighed.
"Holy shit." Tony swore at what Jenny had said he could do so Ziva's father didn't find out that Ziva had told Jenny.
"Sorry, Tony." Jenny smiled sadly. "There's no other way."
"My father will kill you." Ziva muttered.
"Why? Because I'm not Jewish?" Tony asked skeptically.
"Basically, yes." Ziva replied. "He is a very prejudiced man."
"Just like our class." Tony added, and Jenny remembered something.
"Ziva? Will you go into school today?" She asked.
"I'll stay with you all day." Tony promised her, and Ziva frowned.
"I do not know." She began, and then conceded to Tony's point. "Only if you do that."
Ziva opened the door to her house and ran upstairs to fetch her school bag. She got it and was about to leave when her father noticed her.
"Ziva David." He said. Ziva turned to face him.
"What?" She replied.
"Come to say hello?" He smirked evilly.
"Goodbye." Ziva glared, and went to leave.
"Get back here!" Eli roared.
"No!" Ziva yelled back. "You can't order me around!"
"I'm your father!" Eli shouted. They were both oblivious to the fact that Talia was sitting on the stairs.
"You liar!" Ziva cried. "You're not even my real father!"
Ziva stormed out of the house and slammed the door. Eli stared after her, wondering how much she really knew. Talia ran up into Ari's room.
A few hours later, the bell rang for lunchtime roll call. Ziva took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the classroom. Tony, Abby and McGee were right behind her.
"Crap, the terrorist's back!" Josh laughed, and half the class with him. Ziva ignored him, and sat down at her usual table. To her surprise, Tony actually sat next to her instead of Josh. "What the hell, Tones? Why are you sitting with it?"
Tony ignored his former best friend, and smiled encouragingly at Ziva.
"See? I told you." He grinned, and she smiled back. Josh pushed back his chair and walked over.
"What the fuck, Tony? What the hell are you doing? You're sitting with the bloody terrorist you freak! You walked in with the Goth and the geek! What's wrong with you, mate?" Josh stared down at Tony, and Ducky walked in just as Josh was speaking. The teacher was about to say something when Tony started.
"I'm no 'mate' of yours, Joshua. Ziva's no terrorist, alright? Just because she's from a different country than you! I don't see why you've got to be so prejudiced against other people. She's just like you or me. She's a normal person; she has rights too. So treat her like a human, okay?" Tony glared pointedly at Josh, and then sat down. Abby started clapping, and to their surprise, a few others joined in.
"You bloody retard." Josh growled at him.
"Joshua would you and I like to take a little trip to the headmaster's office?" Ducky said, and Josh turned round, surprised since he hadn't seen or heard Ducky enter.
"Not really, thanks." Josh sat down. "Stupid Scotsman."
"JOSHUA!" Everyone was startled. Ducky hardly ever yelled. "Get out of this classroom RIGHT NOW."
Josh stood up, more meekly than he'd sat down, and was escorted off to the headmaster's office by Ducky.
When the door closed, suddenly everyone started whispering.
"Josh's right though." Abby could hear one girl saying.
"Come on, Jeanne. He was just being mean." Another girl said.
"But she's Israeli, for god's sake!" The girl who's name was Jeanne replied. Abby stood up and marched over to their table.
"What's your problem, Jeanne?" Abby asked, annoyed that even after Josh's outburst, people were still being bitchy about Ziva.
"Come to stand up for the Israeli, have you, freak?" Jeanne taunted. Abby was about to reply with something clever and witty when the door opened.
Everyone turned and stared.
"Uh hi." The new girl stuttered. "Uh… I'm Kate?"
A/N: Yaay! Kate! And go Tony!
