Finding out the truth

Kate pulled her brother aside after he had finished talking Tony stood behind her ready to jump in if she needed him. Matt knew that something wasn't right he knew Kate's friend from college worked here as well but he had yet to see her.

"Uh Katie I was wondering were your friend was you know the on from college she works here doesn't she?" Kate bit her lip and looked down at the ground before looking up at her brother.

"Uh Matt there are some things you should know, things that have happened this year, things that you are not going to like. First off, well I guess there's no other way to tell you this but mum lost her fight with cancer. She died earlier this year; she and dad were out here on holiday visiting Uncle Roy."

"What?" Kat only nodded she didn't want to cry she couldn't she had to get through this first.

"The other thing is that Ziva my friend the one you were looking for, well she- a sob came out and she turned to Tony wrapping her arms around him.

"Shhh Katie its ok I'll tell him." Tony kissed her head then looked up at Matt.

"Ziva died earlier this year, thanks to an ex of mine to put it simply, ever heard of Paula Cassidy?" Matt nodded.

"She works with my wife at a book store, said she gave up NCIS because it became to much." Tony scoffed

"She was in charge of the case that Ziva died on. A booby trapped house her ear wig wasn't working, They found Cassidy to be one of the reasons Ziva died, Cassidy should have ordered a new ear wig knowing that the one she gave Ziva wasn't working. But she didn't apparently she wanted revenge. I went out with her before I joined NCIS she thought I was cheating on her with Ziva but I grew up with Ziva she was like a sister to me." Matt nodded as Tony kissed Kate's head trying to calm her down, as her tears subsided, she looked over at her brother her eyes still red.

"We have to tell him the other one too."

"Katie you think it wise when Gibbs is bound to come back" Kate looked up at him.

"We have to" Tony nodded.

"Kate replaced Ziva, on Gibbs's team. The reason there are two teams is that three months after starting here he shot Kate, on a case. He says he didn't know it was her but, when the two other agents who were there my self and Tim McGee heard her yell NCIS that's pretty hard to believe. We were all mad at him, it took me two hours and a promise of three months of Caf-Pow just to get Abby our lab Tech not to kill him. But when he wanted to keep the probie who had been placed on the team till Kate got better we'd had enough, Tim, Abby and I quit. But the director, made up a new team that the four of us were on till today when Gibbs lost the plot."

Matt could not believe this after all the things he had heard about Agent Gibbs being one of the best agents and how the agents on his team turned out to be the best trained. That he could do that to someone, to his sister. The fact that his sister had made such an impression on the people she worked with amazed him. He didn't know her as well as he should have but in the short time he'd been with her today he could tell he wanted her on his team. He looked up as Jen came down the stairs.

"I'm taking you know what happened now." he nodded.

"There are two teams two very different teams you can choose from both trained by Gibbs. Who ever you choose will stay your team. If Gibbs comes back in a year or we keep who ever we replace him with, will have the other team. You arriving on time unlike our other agent get to choose which team you want."

Matt looked over the two teams. The one sitting at the desks, full of young agent's probies was the common name. Each sitting at their desk doing their own thing, then there was the team his sister and her boyfriend were on. They were standing by the large window teasing their friend the third person the team. They had been together longer, knew each other better, they looked like a real team unlike the one in front of him.

"I'll have Kate and her friends they look more like a team I would fit in with more then that one."

"That's what I thought but I was told if one of you came before the other to let you choose."
