I am back everyone! Yes, the ever elusive astronomygirl 85 is back with another installment of "Undercover Sisters." Sorry, the last few months have been hectic especially February. For those of you who do not remember or know, on the 12th there was a school shooting at UAHuntsville. That's the university I attend. If you want to know more, you can look it up on Wikipedia. Therefore, this chapter is dedicated to three very gifted professors whose lives ended too early:

Dr. Podila

Dr. Ragland-Davis

Dr. Johnson

We will miss you!

Chapter 12:

We've Done This Before

Ziva took in everything around her as the trio waited for Epsilon and the other "Elders" to devise a way for them to prove themselves to the ring. They were in an anteroom that was void of any decoration except for a hard metal table with four hard metal chairs. Naomi immediately took one of the seats and busied herself tossing her knife from one hand to another.

Abby took to pacing the room after trying to sit down on the cold metal. She was never one to sit still for very long.

Ziva shook her head slightly as Abby walked past her again, muttering something about her babies at the lab. She just stood there, waiting.

"Abby, calm down," Naomi finally chided, tired of her friend's constant pacing.

"Don't know how," she replied, continuing her pacing.

"Sit down. Recite pi in your head if you have to," Naomi continued as she caught her knife in her right hand and started twirling it absentmindedly.

"Fine." Abby grumbled plopping down by Naomi. "Three point one four one five nine…"

Ziva tuned her out, keeping her senses tuned for any sign of Epsilon's return. Naomi looked calm as she twirled her knife, but Ziva could tell that she was alert for any changes too.

Ziva and Naomi both stiffened when the door opened and Epsilon walked back in with another woman dressed all in black.

"We have decided," Epsilon declared without pretense. "We heard that you broke into NCIS to free your sister who was falsely accused of a murder we committed. We want you to break into NCIS again and recover certain evidence that we want back."

"Tell us about this evidence," Abby said as Naomi put her knife away.

"A poison dart that has nicotine on it. It was one of a kind, handmade. The owner wants it back."

"Okay. If it is evidence in an open case, then it should still be in the NCIS forensics lab," Naomi surmised. "We will need access to the lab."

"I can do that. We just need a way in. The power outage will not work a second time," Abby replied.

"I have an idea for that," Ziva added with a grin. I am sure Tony will like the idea.

Naomi apparently caught the expression in her eyes because she gave her a knowing smirk.

"I am glad to hear that. You have one week to pull it off. We will be watching you." Epsilon immediately walked out of the anteroom, leaving the nameless henchwoman behind.

"I take it that is our cue to leave and prepare?" Abby asked.

The henchwoman just nodded.

"See you later," Naomi smirked as she rose from her seat, Abby hot on her heels. Ziva was the last to leave, staring hard at the woman as she closed the door.

"That was fun," Abby exclaimed as they walked out of sight of the old warehouse.

Naomi just nodded. Her expression was stony, ready to do whatever she must to accomplish her goal.

"So, what is our plan exactly?" Abby asked as they piled into Ziva's Mini Cooper.

"We coerce our teammates into letting us in. Play a little game of seduction," Ziva grinned. "I know Tony will love it."

"I can reign McGee in with my charms," Abby smirked.

"You still have feelings for him, yes?" Ziva asked looking at her as she hit the accelerator.

"I don't want to talk about that," Abby defended, looking behind her at Naomi. "Who do you have in mind, Naomi?"

"I was thinking about Jimmy Palmer. He is rather cute, yes?" Naomi replied.

"Yeah, he's scared to death of you and Ziva," Abby giggled.

"I can sway him with my charms."

"I'd enjoy seeing that," Abby grinned.

"As would I," Ziva added as she sped onto the freeway.

Well, there you go. There is another chapter in the books. I will do my best to finish this story out. See ya next time!
