AN: Hello again everyone! This is my next story in the series. You might want to read my story "Mossad Friends" first to understand this story better. Also, I will keep my poll open for a little while longer, even though the results are pretty obvious already. Now, for the dreaded disclaimer: The characters you recognize are the property of CBS and Donald Bellasario. I am making no money from this story, just borrowing them for a little fun. Now, for the story!

PROLOGUE:

Why?

Naomi ducked down behind a container as she sensed her enemy approaching. One of the things she quickly learned in her Mossad training was to be invisible. She had no idea were Abby was, but prayed to any god listening that she was safe.

Naomi quickly un-holstered her weapon as she heard footsteps. She took one quick glance around the shipping container. It was her all right, her small frame accented in the shadows as she searched, weapon at the ready. Naomi could almost see her eyes searching the area for her. Naomi would not let her find her. Not if she could help it.

"I know you are here," she called out. "You can not hide from me forever, Threader."

Naomi grimaced. She had to call her by her code name. She stayed silent, keeping herself hidden.

She had a sudden spur of inspiration as she spotted a discarded aluminum can. She scooped it up and tossed it away from her, hoping her enemy would follow the sound and allow her the advantage of surprise.

Naomi lucked out. Slicer followed the sound with her eyes and gun. Naomi silently made her move, trying to get behind Slicer, slinking behind containers and barrels as she moved.

A gun shot at the wall behind her made her freeze. She had been exposed. "You cannot hide now Threader."

Naomi pulled her gun and aimed it at Slicer. Slicer's gun was likewise trained at her.

"Do not make me kill you, Threader. I loved you like a sister. Why did you betray us? Betray me?"

"It was the right thing to do, Slicer," Naomi shot back, her grip steady on her gun. "You knew that."

"Threader, Slicer, where are you?" she heard Abby cry from somewhere down another ally. Abby's footsteps got closer. "I just found out—Oh my God!"

"Spinner, stay out of this!" Naomi snapped, using Abby's code name.

"No! I will not!" Abby exclaimed. "You guys are friends. Friends don't kill each other!"

"Threader is no friend of mine! She betrayed us, Spinner. Both of us."

"You've known each other all your lives!" Abby fired back again. "You can't do this!"

"Shut up Spinner!" Naomi and Slicer both yelled.

Abby quivered and stepped back.

"You sold me out, Threader," Slicer snarled, her voice icy cold.

"Shoot me then, Slicer." Naomi said. "Can you really shoot a friend?"

"I killed my brother. You are no different."

"Why? How did it come to this?"

"I could ask you the same question."

Naomi saw Slicer's finger twitch on the trigger. She did the same.

Two shots were fired, one from each weapon.

"No!" Abby cried.

As Naomi went down, one thought went through her mind.

What cruel god would let me kill my best friend? Why would He let me and Ziva kill each other?

AN: Don't kill me yet! I will explain everything in the next chapter! I know I am being mean, but bear with me for a while. I already have chapter one scripted out, just need to put it on the computer. Until next time, Maylee.
