A/N: Enjoy! Don't forget to review with suggestions of future chapters!

Note: In a review, someone mentioned that Ziva is Israeli so she does not speak Arabic; In the show it's know that Ziva speaks at least seven languages fluently: English, Hebrew, Spanish, Arabic, Turkish and French. She is also able to speak basic German, Italian and Russian. So, although Ziva is Israeli, she also speaks Arabic. Thanks for your concern though, anonymous reader.


Chapter 6

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed" - Carl Jung

[Emily POV]

I wake up at four in the morning. Ten missed calls. Eight of them are from newspapers and radio shows that "would love an interview with you, Miss…er, Agent Prentiss." No thanks. The other two, as Strauss predicted are from Leon Vance, NCIS director and the FBI director congratulating me on my "win for the agencies". Director Vance was especially impressed with how well I work with Agent Gibbs. Apparently, he is not usually nice to agents of other agencies. However, Strauss was wrong, not only did Hotch not call me, none of my team has called me. Okay, so maybe, Hotch did not tell them about my accident, so they wouldn't call about that. But why couldn't they even send me a text asking why I wasn't there? "Hey Emily. Just checking in. Are you okay? You're not here with us." Anything would be better than nothing. And how could they not even notice the news? I know JJ has to be glued to the news at all times to make sure the media is covering their case formidably. Strauss said the coffee shop was on national news. I don't even know what to think. I considered them as my family. But, now? I don't even know anymore.


I arrive at the NCIS building in my black FBI car at five thirty, when I realize I haven't gotten my visitors pass cleared with the Director yet. And of course, I can't go get it cleared at five thirty in the morning. Great… I wait in the lobby reading through files of the case I was brought to consult on.

Michelle Harper is the second Naval officer to be found in a two week period. The first victim, Georgia Park was tortured for what the ME determined, one week. Georgia Park disappeared shortly after she was seen at a local market a two weeks before her body was found. The killer hid her body well enough, that we were unable to locate her until one week ago, one week after she was was found in her own house, even though police searched for her there after her missing persons was filed. Michelle Harper, she was found yesterday and in her home also. I have not heard the determined time of death or whether or not she was tortured, but a missing persons was also filed for her. My bet is, she was abducted, tortured the same amount of time as the first victim, and then brought back to her home and killed. Once I hear the ME's report, and any other information Gibbs' team finds, I'll be able to complete my profile. Currently, I'm just about to finish my preliminary profile.

Ziva walks in, interrupting my thoughts. "Hello, Agent. I have forgotten your name?" She asks in an arabic accent I recognize immediately.

"Good Morning, Agent David. Agent Emily Prentiss. You can call me Emily if you wish." I shake her hand.

"Alright, Emily. Then you must call me Ziva. But, tell. Why are you down here?" She asks.

"I don't have my visitors pass authorized yet," I admit.

"Well, come on. You will be my visitor." She takes me upstairs and to her desk.

"Pull up a chair and we can work or speak. Whichever." Ziva offers.

I pull Gibbs' chair. He won't mind.

"That is Gibbs' chair." Ziva warns says cautiously.

"I'm sure he won't mind. I'll give it back." I say confused.

"Do not say I did not caution you." Ziva warns me again.

"I saw you and Gibbs in the paper news this morning. Impressive." Ziva commends me.

"Thank you, but it really was nothing." I say modestly, uncomfortable with the attention.

"Oh, no. It was much! But, if you would rather not talk about it that is fine."

"Thank you. And by the way it is newspaper." I say.

"My English is not great." Ziva sighs.

"Do you prefer to speak in Arabic", I ask in Arabic.

She looks surprised. "You speak the Arabic language?" She replies in Arabic.

"Yes, I grew up in many Middle Eastern countries as a child," I continue to speak in Arabic.

"Do you speak any other languages?" She asks.

"Yes. Arabic, Spanish, French, Italian , Russian, Latin, and English." I reply.

"Impressive."


We continue to converse in Arabic until a man I am not familiar with sits in a desk.

"Hi, I'm Agent Prentiss." I say to him forgetting to switch back to English.

"What… Ziva! Who is this! Gibbs is going to get upset…" The man says warrily.

"English, Emily." Ziva says, now in English.

"Oh. Opps. Sorry!" I blush. "I'm Agent Emily Prentiss. With the bureau. I'm here to consult on your case. Sorry about that whole speaking to you in Arabic thing…"

"Oh. Well. Alright." He seems satisfied. "I'm Tim McGee, but they just call me McGee."

"You can call me Emily, and I will call you Tim. Alright?" I smile at him.

He smiles back, "See Ziva! Some people are nice to me, like Emily." He stresses the E in my name.

I laugh.

Next, the man I recognize as Agent DiNozzo walks in.

"Hey… I recognize you. You were here yesterday with Gibbs… and then you were on the news!" He announces triumphantly.

"Yes." I say dully, agreeing. "I'm Agent Emily Prentiss with the Bureau here to consult on a case with you guys. You can call me Emily." I say cheerily. "Who are you?" I say jokingly, even though I know his name.

Ziva and Tim giggle. "I'm Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo! Didn't they tell you!? You can call me Tony." He says as if his ego is wounded.

"Okay Tony."

Gibbs walks in. "Report!" He shouts at them. They all run and scramble to their computers looking through files like mice with cheese.

"Michelle Harper had a boyfriend!" Tony says.

"Yes. Robert Herjack. We interviewed him yesterday, while you two were… busy. He seems devastated. Not likely to be responsible." Ziva says.

"Yeah. Just checked his credit card statements, no suspicious activity. He seems clean" Tim says.

"Both her parents are dead. No siblings either." Tony says defeated, "That's pretty much all we've got boss."

"Okay… find more. Have you seen Agent Prentiss…?" Gibbs asks

"Um… right there boss." Tony replies quickly, signally with his eyebrows in my direction.

"Hi." I say awkwardly.

"Hi." He replies equally as awkward. "Can I talk to you?" Gibbs asks gently.

"Yeah of course." I reply.

"McGee. Bring a desk up here for Agent Prentiss. Tell DiNozzo to help." Gibbs barks at Tim.

"But…" DiNozzo complains.

"What…" Tim asks confused.

"Was I not clear?" Gibbs asks as we walk away.

Ziva laughs and I can feel all of their eyes on Gibbs and asks we walk up the stairs and to the corner of the second floor.


A/N: I hope you all were satisfied with the Emily/NCIS team introductions. In the next chapter, I'll be addressing the root of Emily's problems with the BAU team. Also, Emily will give her Preliminary Profile soon. Please review with suggestions!
