Chapter 6
Ziva gave us a grand tour of the place for a bit and then we got to meet the rest of the team who Turned out to be as awesome as they were in the TV show! We
went to Abby's current lab and we Helped her with the current task she had to do which was trying to find the identity of fingerprints (we also got to try some of her
Caf-pow, it was nice stuff) We also went to the current autopsy and looked at dead bodies (which I didn't like at first, Eilidh loved it!) Ducky really felt quite at home
inthe hideout unlike the others who just complained because he used to live here. Also, we got to watch Tony and Gibbs interrogate someone (who turned out to have
nothing to do with the case…awkward) and help Mcgee with his current computer problem (which was hacking into the council's computer program).
We eventually had to go home because obviously our parents would be getting worried about us not being home from school yet so we hugged and waved goodbye
to the team and then Ziva had to take us home, "I think that they all trust you both," Ziva says smiling, "That's good," me and Eilidh both said, happy that they all liked
us. No time at all had went past it seemed when we turned up at my street and Ziva dropped me off at my house but just as I was getting out of the car, someone
came out of nowhere and approached us!
"Hello Ziva, I was just looking for you," said the man, who turned out to be Eli, "Father, what the hell are you doing here? In the United kingdom? In Scotland?" asked
Ziva, confused as me and Eilidh were now both out of the car and standing next to Ziva staring at the two as this clearly was an awkward reunion!
"I have some important news," he shrugged, as if it was no big deal that he had to get a plane here and then probably a train…
"Is that it?" Ziva replied, looking straight at him, "you could have just phoned me," "no, that is not all Zeezee," he says in a little kids voice and me and Eilidh tried not
to laugh, "do not call me that," Ziva muttered, "so what other reasons are there then?" "I am somehow involved in this mission now so I had to come to the United
kingdom," Eli continued, he then looked at us, "now who are these people that seem to be looking at us?""These people are called Maddy and Eilidh, they are helping
us at NCIS with the mission," Ziva explained now looking at us too, "So I finally get to meet the hard mon," Eilidh said in a Jamaican accent and I burst out laughing,
obviously she was going to say this…. "What? Who is he?" Ziva and her father both asked ,puzzled, "The hard mon is Eli because he likes to wear shades all the time,"
Eilidh said, "I do not!" Eli exclaimed, "Yes you do father, you wear them every single time I see you!" Ziva said chuckling, getting the joke now,
"I still do not! Anyway, how does that make me a hard man?" Eli asked, confused, "Well you see, when you wear shades, that makes you look like a big hard guy,"
Eilidh explained while me and Ziva were in fits of laughter at his face, "so that's why you are the hard mon!" "Yes I see," Eli replied, still not getting it...he turned away
and muttered, "people from the United Kingdom are very strange,"
"Yes they are father but in a good way," replied Ziva, still laughing at me and Eilidh's joke. Suddenly, a little boy came along in a scooter so fast that none of us even
realised what was happening until Eli fell and faceplanted on the pavement…. "Father, are you alright?" asked Ziva who came over to him to help him up but was trying
to keep in the new giggles that were now forming in her throat, it was quite funny the way he fell down, I thought to myself but I was like Ziva and kept a straight face
partly because I didn't want to upset him! But Eilidh had no intension of keeping anything in it seems and was laughing her head off in the background, Eli gave her the
most deadly death glare that I'v ever seen (and that's saying something!) but Eilidh still didn't stop laughing, she was even holding her sides because she was
laughing that hard…. "So," he finally said as he had recovered and got back up, "you think that this is funny do you?"
"yeah it is, the way you just fell and…." Eilidh said, and then continued laughing, me and Ziva looked at each other a bit worried by Eli's face which seemed to get very
red as time passed. "This is not going to end well," Ziva whispered to me, "my father really does not like anyone laughing at him," I nodded, feeling the tension build up
as each passing second went by, Eilidh whispered something to him and he nodded firmly, something was going to happen…something…. And then it all happened at
once! Eli's fist collided with Eilidh's shoulder but she dodged it and hit him in the privates, he groaned but then retaliated and hit Eilidh in the stomach before this fight
could go on though, Ziva stepped in front of both of them sighing.
"Guys come on and break it down!" Ziva shouted, they both stopped and looked at her confused, "it's break it up Ziva," I muttered to her and she just shrugged, they
listened to her anyway! "You do know that I could have beaten you up there," Eli said smugly to Eilidh as they both got back in Ziva's car and I could make out Eilidh
saying 'oh please!' while rolling her eyes through the window, I smiled. "So I guess that I will see you tomorrow then Maddy," said Ziva, looking at the car and then
back at me, "yeah…." I said but sort of trailed off awkwardly, I wanted to say something else to her but I didn't really know what to say to be honest! For the first time
since I finally met her, I was going to have to go back to my normal awkward life till tomorrow which didn't really seem right now…
"Do you people do it too?" she asked me, "what?" I asked her, confused as to what she meant, "hug each other, what they do in America, especially someone called
Abby…" Ziva explained, ah she was asking me if I wanted a hug! Or course I did ;) although we both just looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds as Ziva still
probably isn't used to them and I was being too shy, we hugged each other for what seemed like eternity…. "Do I let go now?" Ziva asked me, her mouth was right
next to my ear so it make me jump, "I think I should let go…." I replied, i was taking her arms out of my grasp when she seemed to still hold on to them, "What are you
doing?" Ziva demanded, "im letting go, "I replied, she still held on to me, "are you sure that is a wise idea?" she questioned, "GUYS, HURRY UP AND STOP HUGGING!"
Eilidh shouted from the car, "SOME PEOPLE WANT TO GET HOME YOU KNOW!"
We both let go of each other then and then Eilidh said, "FINALLY!" I laughed, "Ziva, you are going to have to give her one as well…" "I know, I know!" she chuckled, "I
am sorry, I still do not get hugs, they just…." "its fine honestly," I replied and I went back into my house, waving at the car as it sped off down my street and down to
the traffic lights, wondering how long Eilidh will end up trapped in a hug with Ziva….
