chapter 2
i was at the airport with my ticket in hand and a small bag of stuff by the time gibbs called me. "shalom gibbs" i said picking up.
"ziva where are you?"
"at the airport" i answered because i knew he was tracing the call.
"why?"
"to go visit a friend of mine in new york. do you have a problem with that?"
"ziva your hurt you need to be around a place that is familiar for a little while"
"ducky didnt tell me to stay when i left him with the message to tell you where i was going" i said just as my flight was called. "shalom gibbs that was my flight" i said hanging up and boarding my plane.
"where is her friend in new york?" i asked my team.
"umm... i dont know gibbs she didnt tell us that she even knew someone in new york"
"well she does" i snapped just as jenny walked into the bullpen.
"her friend is someone she met through me" she said.
"jen we need to find her"
"she is going to be fine im headed up there to meet with her and we are all going to hang out for a week or two"
"why are you letting her run away?"
"she isnt running away because we will be back in about two weeks. she just wants to have some girl time and to get better without you guys fawning over her." she said before walking to the elevator and leaving.
i was on the plane and was trying not to fall asleep, but i was getting close to failing at it. thank god the fasten seat belt sign came on and we began to land. "thank you for fly jet blue." the captain said and i got off the plane. i called my friend to tell her i had landed and that i was going to meet her at her work. "benson" she answered.
"hey livia. its zivaleh"
"oh hey. did you land? are you alright?" she questioned.
"yes i landed. im going to take a cab over to the precinct maybe you could tell me how to get to your place from there?" i said.
"yeah how long until you get here?"
"umm... twenty minutes"
"ok see you then" she said before hanging up.
alright zivaleh was coming to the precinct and i didnt know how bad of a shape she was in so i picked my phone back up to call jenny. "shepard" she answered.
"same as always i see" i joked.
"oh... liv... how are you did you hear from zivaleh she shouldve landed by now"
"she just landed and is on her way"
"ok good"
"how bad of a shape is she in?" i asked hoping that she didnt look to bad and that i didnt have to tell the others to stay away.
"you might want to warn the guys livia"
"alright well then let me go i will see you tomorrow" i said and hung up before turning to the guys but found their attention to the doorway where ziva stood.
i was just about to get coffee when a women that had nice tan skin and dark brown wavy hair to about the bottom of her shoulder blades. she was pretty but very skinny and banged up. "um... can i help you?" i asked.
"no you dont have to fin. ive got it." oliva said running up.
"livia!" the women said hugging her.
"hey zivaleh" i was confused "i thought you said like twenty minutes"
"aparently it was less than i thought" the women zivaleh said with a foreign accent... maybe middle east.
"wow you look..."
"i know liv. i know." i said to keep her from mentioning it to much.
"but i think we should go and tell my captain who you are maybe we can get you something to eat after" she said looking totally frazzled. then i noticed that everyone was staring at us and folllowed her to the office.
i wasnt expecting her to look that bad and if it werent for my job, jennys warning and what i remember from when i was in isreal and mossad i expected this. "hey cap?"
"yes olivia?"
"um... this is my friend ziva david"
