Chapter 5
'What?', Mr. Palmer, McGee and Tony said in one mouth. Ducky just sighed and turned back to the body. Gibbs explained what he had got to know by Fornell. The two agents and the two forensic scientists listened to Gibbs. The dead marine was forgotten. 'So you want to tell us, that an Al Qaeda-Hamas terrorist who tricked FBI, Mossad and his own half-sister is still alive after tricking us and making us believe him dead for over seven years after he had faked his death?', Tony said astonished. 'How did he fake his death?', Ducky asked. 'Faked autopsy report', Gibbs said. Ducky remembered that he had not been allowed to do autopsy on the terrorist. He remembered telling Haswari that he couldn't wait to weigh his liver. He never had the chance to. Maybe soon.

'I got it', Theresa said. Ari came to the living room table and stared at his laptop screen. 'This is the file you couldn't get into', she explained. Of course it now was a censored one, just telling that they knew that Ari was alive and that NCIS should not search him. Ari sat down next to Theresa and read the file. He did not say anything. He just smiled. When he finished he leaned back. 'So they know that I am still alive. Do you think it was a coincidence they found out?', he asked. 'Yes, they couldn't know anything specific', she answered. This was the truth. She had moved two months ago to Washington because of a new mission. It had been a coincidence that she had run into Ari. She had recognized him at once. She had read a lot about him. She had never thought that he would have trusted her fake story so fast. Of course, it was true that Theresa and her sister had been set out on the street with only three years after being risen up bilingual. In a special school they had been educated very fast and graduated with fourteen years both. Because of their high intelligence British MI5 had gotten curious and started to train the fourteen years old girls. MI5 supported their education and with eighteen years they both had graduated in Bachelor of Science in Physics. That had been this summer. Now, Theresa was still eighteen years old. For her mission, she was twenty.
'Do you like Ziva?', he asked all of sudden. 'What?', she asked surprised, she had been lost in her thoughts. 'Ari, she's your sister!' 'Half-sister', he replied. 'Do you miss her?' 'No. She killed me and she doesn't seem to regret it.' 'Don't you think it is hard to kill one's sibling?' 'She was trained to be hard. As was I.' 'Ari, what are you thinking about?', Theresa did not have a good feeling concerning their talk. 'I think about hurting Gibbs again. But I don't know how, yet.' Ari leaned forward again and closed the laptop. 'Do you want to shoot someone?', Theresa asked. If he planed something like this she had to prevent it in last minute and bring him behind bars. Her cover would have blown then and she could return to her boyfriend. 'I need to remind Gibbs that I am still here. That I still want to kill him.' 'Don't try to kill Gibbs', Theresa advised him. 'The last you who tried this got killed', she reminded him. 'I shot Gibbs in his ball and socket joint, I tried to kill McGee and Abby but I failed both times. Ziva is my sister, but they would never think of me that I would hurt her. Duckey and Mr. Palmer would be a good target, but a special agent's death would hurt Gibbs even more. What about Tony?', he proposed. Theresa stared at the closed laptop. She did not want it to end like this. She actually liked Ari. He was hot, very pretty, nice and just an asshole. But the last thing did not care to her. She was affected by him. Of course she loved Paul but Ari was not such a bad person. 'Theresa, are you listening to me?', he asked. 'Kill Tony', she said and looked into his eyes. His eyes were so kind but also so deadly. She kissed him for very long. He could be so nice. He was far too good and too intelligent for prison. He did not know that she had studied, too. Not that long as Ari who had a doctor title. Theresa thought about it. He was a doctor, a medicine. She could imagine him perfectly in a lab coat vetting someone and treating him nicely. He was so bold and brainy. 'Are you sure?' 'Tony is the first of them who came into Gibbs' team.' 'Killing him will kill Gibbs', Ari said. He smiled.
'Let's do it tonight', he said. Theresa looked at her watch. It was seven pm. She had to inform FBI or NCIS. 'Let's go now.' 'We have to plan it first', she laughed. 'Be a bit more flexible', he said and kissed her.
'Let's kill Tony. Now.'
They both stood up.
