Mossad Officer Ziva David knew that NCIS Special Agent Charity Gibbs did not believe her about Ari. After her phone conversation with him, Ziva was having a hard time believing it herself. She knew her father had told her of his suspicions, but she could not believe him. She didn't want to believe him.

She sat in her rental car, debating on what to do, when she saw Charity rushing out of the NCIS building and into her car. Ziva had no idea why, but she decided to follow Agent Gibbs. After a few minutes, they arrived at the hospital, but it was not the same one that Charity's father was in. Curious, Ziva went inside to find out what was going on. She kept her distance and followed Charity completely unnoticed.

She watched as Charity spoke with another man, a worried and panicked look on her face. Ziva had to get closer, she had to know what they were saying. As she got closer she could hear Charity asking what happened. She listened as he described Tony, the detective Charity was dating, getting shot. Then he described the shooter when Charity asked. Ziva listened to his description. It's Ari. He shot an innocent man. Ziva thought. This can't be happening.

A doctor came out and spoke with Charity and the man. After a few minutes, he took Charity back, Ziva assumed to see Tony. Ziva had a feeling that Charity wasn't going to be there for long, so she headed out to her car and waited. She had been right, not long later, Charity was hopping into her car, but she didn't leave right away. She made a phone call and then she left.

Ziva followed her. She had to find out what was going on. She had to know for sure what was going on with Ari.

Charity...

Charity soon arrived at her house. Once inside, she got ready. She grabbed a kevlar vest she kept around and slipped it on. Then she slipped her badge off and laid it on her table. She slipped her gun into her holster and grabbed some extra magazines filled with ammo. She grabbed her knife and concealed it.

No matter what happens to me, I'm not letting Ari live, today. Charity thought. Not after what he did. She then headed out to her car and drove to the old docking district. She oarked her car and then waited.

Right on time a motorcycle pulled up and a man clad in a red and white racing suit, parked the bike and hopped off. He removed his helmet to reveal that he was indeed Ari. "Agent Gibbs, are you planning to shoot me?" Ari asked.

"Not just yet." Charity answered. "I want to know why. Why did you turn on Mossad?"

He chuckled. "My father wasn't actually the good doctor." He began. "That was an alias. My father is really Eli David, Mossad Director."

"He ordered the attack that killed your mother." Charity stated.

"Very good. You are a very talented investigator." Ari told her. "It is such a shame that I'm going to have to kill you. I have to complete my work."

Charity drew her gun quickly and fired at him. She hadn't been aiming to kill him, at least not yet. She had aimed for his shoulder. It had done nothing.

Ari smiled a eptilian smile at her. "You didn't think that I wouldn't come prepared?" He asked, reaching into the hole and pulling out the bullet. "This isn't just a nice racing suit. The only way you're going to kill me is if you aim for me head."

"That shouldn't be too hard. It's a pretty big target." Charity replied.

"But I suspect that you don't want to just shoot me." Ari told her. "No, this, this is too personal for you."

"If you know that's what I want, then let's get on with it." Charity replied.

"Are you sure you want to go there again? Or have you already forgotten that concussion?"

"I'm prepared and highly motivated this time."

"Very well then, we shall have it your way."

Charity and Ari broke out into hand to hand combat, then. Charity threw several kicks and punches, that hit where she wanted them to. Of course, Ari had landed a blow to her chest. Even though she wore the vest, the close contact still caused the wind to be knocked out of her.

Charity staggered back and as she did, Ari grabbed her gun from her holster. He aimed it at her head. "Killed by your own gun." Ari said. "What a way that will be for you to go, especially when you meant this bullet for me."

A shot came from somewhere behind Ari and the next thing Charity knew, he was falling to the ground. Charity looked up to see Officer Ziva David standing behind her half brother, her gun aimed after being freshly fired. It took a few seconds for Charity to realize that Ziva had killed Ari.

Ziva put her gun back into her holster. She looked up at Charity, her brown eyes staring deep into Charity's blue eyes. Neither woman said a word. Charity knew the pain and torment Ziva must be feeling, but she also knew why she had done it. Ari had betrayed her, their father, and their country. It was something that he could not get away with. Ziva had made sure of it.

Ziva and Charity held a silent understanding of each other. This, the truth of what happened, would stay between them. All anyone needed to know was that Ziva had done her job, taking out a rogue Mossad agent. No one needed to know of Charity's involvement.
