Depressing Happenings: part19

Abby and Ziva fell asleep in Gibbs arms. After awhile Gibbs fell asleep, but woke up again as he heard Ziva screaming. He looked at her. She laid still in his arms, but screamed after Tony and screamed something Hebrew. Abby woke up as well. Gibbs wrapped both arms around Ziva, petted her back and tried to wake her up. It didn't work, so he put his hands on her shoulders and shook her. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Hey, it's only a bad dream, Ziva.", Gibbs tried to calm her down. Then came Abby and gave her one of her famous hugs. Ziva woke up in Abby's arms. She's confused. Abby let her go.

"Ziva, hey, it's okay. It was just a bad dream.", Gibbs told her and she let herself fall down in Gibbs arms who kneed in front of her. He wrapped his arms around her and petted her back. Abby went to in the kitchen and came back with a tea. Gibbs wiped her tears away and held her.

"Stay here.", he whispered in her ear "I don't let you go, Ziva."

"But..."

"No buts Ziva! I don't want to see you hurting yourself.", he said calmly.

"I need to! It makes me free.", she said almost yelling at him.

"It doesn't! That's an illusion. It helps you for a few seconds and then you regret it!", he explained her cairn even if he got mad that she still wants to cut.

"What?", Abby asked confused and put the tea on the table.

"Nothing!", Ziva said to Abby "Let me go!", she yelled at Gibbs. Gibbs still held her one hand petting her back the other holding her head against his shoulder.

"You're not going to hurt yourself, Ziva!", he said angrily.

"Why hurting?", Abby asked still confused.

"Tell her, Ziva.", Gibbs told her. Abby looked scared in Ziva's eyes.

"I, I cut.", she whispered finally looking down. Abby hugged her worried. Gibbs held still her arms because he knows that she's going to try to go to the bathroom. And after Abby stopped hugging her after felt forever, she tried running away, but Gibbs held her. He sat her down in the couch and wrapped his arms around her.

"You don't need to cut.", he told her and a bit later she calmed down. They sat on the sofa Ziva in the middle and Gibbs and Abby have each one arm around Ziva. Gibbs have her the tea and she slowly drank it.

"You want to go back to sleep?", Gibbs asked her as the cup was empty, but she didn't want.

"Then the nightmares come back.", she said resting her head on his shoulder.

"It's okay.", Abby replied a few times and petted her back.

"Abby you can go sleeping.", Gibbs said.

"No thanks, I stay awake.", she answered and Gibbs nodded. They sat there and after about 1 or 2hours Ziva fell asleep again. Gibbs laid her carefully down and covered her up. Abby laid down on the other couch and fell asleep as well. Gibbs said on the floor between them two and drank his coffee.

A few hours later his phone rang and he answered it.

"How's Ziva?", Tony asked.

"She sleeps now. She had a nightmare, but now she sleeps.", Gibbs answered him.

"Where's Abby? She isn't in her lab! We tried to call her.", Tony said worry.

"She's here sleeping as well.", Gibbs answered bugged.

"Tell her she shall call us when she's in her lab. Bye.", Tony said and Gibbs hang the call off. But ten rang the doorbell and Gibbs needed to stand up and open it. So he did. There stood a worried Ellie. He let her into the living room and they sat on the third couch. Ellie looked at Abby and Ziva confused and them at Gibbs.

"Don't ask.", he just said and she nodded an 'okay'. She then gave him a note in a plastic bag for evidence.

"What's that?", he asked her.

"Was on my desk as I came this morning.", she said. Gibbs looked at the note which is written in Hebrew.

"Do we have someone at the Navy yard who speaks Hebrew?", he asked Ellie.

"I don't think so.", She answered him. He stood up. With a heavy heart he woke Ziva up. She yawned.

"What's up, Gibbs?", She asked him. He gave her the note.

"I want you to read this. What does it mean." She read it.

"Dear fiancée, don't think you can hide yourself from me forever. I'm going to find you. You're mine. You can't do what you want. I'm going to find you and then you go home with me. Your father engaged you to me. -Raday" she started crying and Gibbs calmed her down.

"I want to know who put it on the desk.", Gibbs told Ellie and she left.
