Sorry for the break in between posts I've been REALLY busy lately, but don't worry this fic is far from over. Now I have to do some research because I can't remember for the life of me how Gibbs finally convinces Ziva. So, you'll have to excuse me if I sort of make it all up as I go along. Enjoy!
Who was Ziva David to tell him what he knew to be true was not? She had Ari's word, Tony had proof.
Gibbs won't like this girl.
He chuckled morbidly at the thought. Finally Gibbs strode out of the elevator, coffee cup in hand.
"I am Officer David, Moussad." The woman flashed her badge at Gibbs. His eyes hardened instantaneously.
"And what does Moussad want with us Officer David?" Questioned Gibbs in a tight voice.
"To convince you of Ari Haswuari's innocence." Ziva drew herself up to her full height and looked him directly in the eyes.
So now she's straight forward, I guess Gibbs's reputation proceeds him, figures. Tony contemplated. It was obvious Gibbs did not take well to this. He didn't speak.
"Now I understand you lost an a team member-"
"Two." Gibbs cut her off, Tony smirked, maybe now she'd believe him.
"I see, you should know that Ari Haswuari is an undercover Moussad officer operating in Hamas." At this Gibbs snorted slightly under his breath.
"Looks like your 'officer' turned on you, now doesn't it?"
"I think you have misunderstood me, he is operating undercover."
"Sure is good at that isn't he? Could have fooled me." Gibbs' voice was sardonic and sarcastic.
"I'm not sure I understand you." She said to appease him.
"Well the bomb strapped underneath the table where he threatened to kill me was a dead give away that he had gone rouge." This seemed to surprise Officer David, but she quickly hid it, not quick enough though. Gibbs spotted her uncertainty and the corner of his mouth twitched in amusement for the first time in what seemed like eternity. Her phone rang.
"Excuse me," she looked at the caller ID, "I have to take this." Tony's eyes narrowed, and he strolled casually over to the divider so he might hear what she was saying. Unfortunately she spoke in fast Hebrew. He picked up small bits from what he had retained from a rudimentary Hebrew course that was required for one undercover op he had conducted.
Lo… That means no, b'vakasha, is you're welcome, or was it thank you? "Ari," She's talking on the phone to Ari!!
Tony wanted to grab the phone from the Officer David's tan hands and shout strings of expletives and threats into its receiver. And then he wanted to pin that woman to the wall and force Ari's whereabouts out of her. Sadly none of that could be accomplished as she was a Moussad officer and probably had mad ninja skills and she would probably tell Ari that NCIS was on his trail. Of course Gibbs would not give up no matter what this pretty girl told him.
Never mess with the gut as Abby might say.
Tony was unprepared for the tears that sprung to his eyes at this memory. He could almost see Abby before him making strange comments or sipping a cafpow, it made him sad but also sort of brought a smile to his face. Maybe he was going mad, seeing dead people and all, but then again it was sort of a blessing wasn't it? Seeing your loved ones after they had gone from the world? It wasn't as if she was talking to him, telling him to do things he shouldn't. No he was simply remembering Abby, nothing more. As he came to this conclusion he saw Gibbs storm off the young Moussad officer at his heels.
He'll convince her.
Reviews?? You know I love them.
