ONE OF MY LONGEST CHAPTER YET! YEAH! HOPE YOU ALL LIKE!
"Well, well, well. You disturbed my dinner Agent Gibbs." Eli David spoke ask he calmly sat down at his desk, staring straight into the eyes of Gibbs.
"Dinner? Its noon!" Tony whispered. The rest of the team was told to hide in the shadows of the large room. Gibbs wanted a straight answer from the Mossad Director, before having what Tony called a "family reunion", only to get hit in the arm by both Ziva and Carlee.
"Time differences Tony." Carlee answered in a quiet whisper, before Ziva could even put a word in. She looked at the light brown haired agent next to her, and then shook her head, giggling.
"You're disturbing my team." Gibbs rebutted, making the Director sigh.
"Why would you say that?"
"Absalom Lamdan?"
"Harah." He stated, putting his head in his hands, rubbing his eyes.
"Something must be wrong if he can't keep a straight face." McGee said in a sigh.
"And harah means…?" Tony questioned.
"Shit." Ziva said, no emotion in her voice.
"Harah."
"Harah."
"Harah." The agents said looking at each other, laughing quickly.
"It's not funny!" Ziva whispered, laughing also.
"Sh, he's talking."
Eli finally lifted his head, his one hand still on his chin.
"How did you find out about him?"
"The NCIS visitors log, maybe." Gibbs said, face straight.
"How could he be so stupid?" Eli almost yelled.
"I have heard he isn't that…bright." Gibbs said. "Why was he here?"
"I really should be getting back-"
"No, you answer my questions."
"Well, I needed to check on Ziva." He said, finally talking like the lying, cruel, director he was.
"You could have called Vance and asked him. Why did you send an agent?"
"I had to find out the truth."
"Of what?" a confusing glare appeared on Gibbs face. Tony looked over to see Ziva mouthing the words
"What?"'
"If she is dating that Agent DiNozzo!"
"What?" Ziva yelled almost stepping out of the shadows, anger burning in her eyes. Only her voice could be heard by her father.
"Darling, Ziva. Shalom." Eli said, trying to change the subject at hand.
"You were… spying… on me?" Ziva voice rose with confusion.
"Yes daughter, I hate to admit it but yes." Eli said, his words did not match the tone in his voice. He sounded…angry.
"I can't believe you!"
"I can say the same about you Ziva. Falling for the man how killed Michael!"
"Why do you care?" Ziva said, rage filled her eyes.
"You are my daughter!"
"Then why weren't you there to save me from Saleem? Or to see me in the hospital when I almost died? Oh wait," Ziva paused. "You're the one who put me there!"
"What?" The Mossad Director stood from his seat, concern was all Tony could see in the man's face.
"You were in the hospital? When?"
His daughter turned away, not facing the screen. "Stop pretending you care."
"And what is this about me putting you in the hospital? You think I would harm you? I would never do a thing!"
"That I can't believe. You would do anything to save your worthless ass." Ziva said, trying to step away, but her legs buckled under her. She fell, but luckily Tony raced over. He caught her before her back hit the ground.
"You okay?" Tony forgot to whisper, making Eli notice his presence.
"Come forward Ziva. I need to see you out of the shadows." He said sitting down.
Tony lifted her up and grabbed her hands, helping her keep balance.
"You to Agent DiNozzo."
Anthony led the pale Ziva forward, into the screens light.
"Oh Ziva." Was all that came from the strong, Mossad leader.
The forgotten Gibbs finally spoke up. "Will you please just tell us why this Absalom was at NCIS on the same day of the accident?"
"What accident?"
The three looked at each other, wishing to be anywhere other than here. They all wanted to have asked what they needed, without getting into the bad memories and deep problems of the team.
Tony finally said boldly, trying not to show his fear. "Ziva and I were in an elevator crash many months ago. I got out with broken bones and cuts, while Ziva was in a coma, fighting for her life. After Ziva woke up, we learned that the elevator cord had been cut by metal cutters, meaning someone tried to kill us. This Mossad agent we are questioning you about was logged into the NCIS visitors log on the same day, only a few minutes before the crash. Weird huh?"
Eli puzzled over the long comment for awhile before breathing out, "Absalom was told to be on a stake out that day. I have no idea why he used his real name or even why he was at NCIS, but if you think I had any involvement in this then you're wro…"
The screen suddenly went black. Ziva and Tony started looking around, shock on their face.
"What just happen?"
Tony looked over to see Vance with his hand in a straight line over his throat.
"You heard all you need to hear from him." He said.
Vance motioned his fingers to Gibbs to follow him to the hall.
"Wow." Carlee said as she stepped out of the darkness, eyes wide.
"Hope he doesn't kill Gibbs."
"Hope Gibbs doesn't kill him!"
"What do we do now?" Ziva asked the team.
"We have three questions to find the answer to ourselves now." McGee said, also stepping into the light.
"How Eli found out about you two," Carlee started, pointing at Tony and Ziva.
"Who tried to kill us," Tony continued.
And Ziva finally finishing, "And where the hell is Absalom?"
