As Jason explained the case to the team in the conference room, Tonya went into her dad's office and lied down on his couch. Even though she thought she was feeling better all this had taken a toll on her body. She wondered how her real dad ever went back to work after having the plague. As she laid on the couch, she remembered as a kid coming in from school, laying down on the couch and telling her dad about her day. Some of her friends teased her telling her it was nothing more than a therapy session with her dad being a psychologist. She never saw it that way. She was a daddy's girl and he always wanted to know what was going on in her and her twin brothers lives. She figured that's why it devastated her so bad when she found out he wasn't really her father and that she was adopted.
"How are you feeling?" Jason asked as he walked into his office.
"I'm alright. Still taken back by everything that's happened." Tonya answered.
"I've talked to Gibbs. He's got Fornell and his team investigating the case on Tali. Sis you don't have to worry about Tali ever doing anything to you or TJ again, we will see to it." Jason said kneeling down by the couch and stroking his daughter's hair.
"I'm just scared dad. If Tali, who is supposed to be my half sister could do this to me, what will someone who doesn't know me do? I'm not sure if I want to go back to NCIS." Tonya said about in tears.
"Tonya, there's always going to be people out there that don't like you. But that's when you show them that you are stronger when you survive, just like you have with the plague." Jason said trying to comfort her. "Come on out to the conference room, we have some plans to take Tali down."
Tonya raised up and gave Jason a hug.
"Thanks dad. I love you." Tonya said.
Jason returned the hug and tried to fight back tears.
"I love you too baby girl." Jason said kissing her head. He then helped her off the couch and followed her out of the office.
Tonya went into the conference room and found the TAC team where they were hard at work.
"Ok guys, here's the plan. I feel like Tali will crack. She may be a Mossad officer but she is always trying to please her mother. I feel she has been brainwashed by her mother and is doing all this just to get her mothers approval. Now Gibbs said that her mother was on her death bed. Cable I want you to do some digging and see what you can find out on Ziva David. Dani, I want you to fly down to D.C. T.J. says he has been tailing Tali and knows the bar she goes to every night. I want you to go in and talk to her about your daddy issues." Jason said.
"But I don't have any daddy issues." Dani said.
"Then make some up. Anything to get her to spill the beans on why she would do this. While she is out Agent Fornell and his team will be searching Tali's apartment and will give us an update. Dani I want you to wear a wire just in case Tali confesses to anything. If she gets drunk enough she may spill the beans on the whole plan." Jason said.
As the team split up, Tonya could only hope that her dad was right and that they would put Tali away.
Just as T.J. had said, Tali arrived at her favorite bar just before 10 p.m. Dani wanted to give Tali a little bit to get a few drinks in her before she started in questioning.
"Plans in place. Tali is at the bar and boy is she putting the liquor away." Dani told Jason.
"Great. Fornell, let me know what you find in her apartment." Jason said.
"Will do Bull." Fornell said.
"Ok Bull she's two drinks in and already getting tipsy, I'm going in." Dani said.
Dani sat down at the bar beside Tali.
"Rough day?" Dani asked when she seen the empty glasses.
"Yeah if you want to consider failing your mothers dying wishes." Tali said.
"Really? I know how you feel. My dad always wanted me to become a doctor but instead I went into selling insurance. Let's just say he disowned me after that." Dani said.
"Ha my dad disowned me way before that. In fact, I never knew my dad." Tali said before ordering another round of tequila. She was totally confiding in Dani and was putty in Dani's hand.
"I know my mom was a bit crooked but I wanted to make her proud just one last time before she died. My mom had my dad and his new wife murdered. She had paid to have this guy named Tanner kill them off. She had said something about My dads new wife I think her name was Deanna had dated this Tanner but he also had friends in Mossad." Tali said taking a sip of her drink.
"Mossad? That's hard core." Dani said hanging on to every word Tali said.
"Tell me about it. My mom was a Mossad Officer. Just like I am. Anyway that's how he had come into contact with my mom and she hired him to do away with her little "problem." My mom told me that my dad had left us for some slut in the states. My dad ended up having twins and his new daughter was his pride and joy. That should have been me. I was entitled to everything he owned when he died. My mom wanted me to come to the states and get revenge." Tali said.
"Gosh that had to be hard to deal with as a child." Dani chimed in.
"It was! I never met the twins. My mom had told me about this Agent Gibbs that my mom and dad used to work for, that had hired both of the twins. My mother's plan was to get rid of the girl my daddy truly loved and for me to be the only DiNozzo kid. My mom was a bit on the sneaky side. She had even said, if she couldn't have Tony DiNozzo, no one should. That was the main reason she hired this Tanner to take Tony out. Then she wanted me take his daughter out as ransom to get her name cleared before she died. Sadly, I got a call this morning that she passed. You know I'm sorry I unload all this on you. I know it's a bit much, but I just needed someone to talk to." Tali said.
"Oh not at all girl. You needed to get it off your chest. You probably feel better now don't you?" Dani said.
"I will. I still have one more thing I have to do before I can go back to Israel." Tali said which really worried Dani.
Jason's phone rang. He looked down to see it was Fornell and hurried to answer it.
"Dr. Bull?"
"Bull, Fornell. Let Dani know we are about to move in. We found plans in Tali's apartment. She had planned to shoot T.J. at Tonya's funeral, given Tonya would have died from the plague. Here's the creepy part, she had a layout of NCIS headquarters. We found explosives in her apartment. She was planning to blow up NCIS." Fornell said.
"Oh my god. This is worse than we thought." Jason said.
"I'm afraid so. We are moving in now to arrest her." Fornell said hanging up the phone.
Jason quickly texted Dani.
Be prepared! Fornell is about to come in and arrest Tali. It is a lot worse than we ever thought.
Dani's phone vibrated. As she read the message she wondered how could it be worse than what she just heard come out of Tali's mouth.
Fornell came casually up behind them as they sat at the bar.
"Tali David you're under arrest for the attempted murder of a federal agent." Fornell said.
Tali whirled around in her chair to face Fornell.
"Excuse me? You have no evidence." Tali protested.
"We have all the evidence we need." Fornell said putting Tali in hand cuffs and leading her out to his car.
Dani called Jason after they were out of hearing range.
"Did you get a recording?" Jason asked.
"I got more than that. I got Tali to confess to everything." Dani said.
"Great job. Now all we have to do is put her behind bars." Jason said. He couldn't feel more proud.
The trial of Tali David will be in the next chapter. What will Bull and the TAC team do to find Tali guilty? New Chapter up soon! Please Review!
