3'rd person

Callan and his sister sat there just hugging for almost 10 minutes, Director Vance of course broke it up "Gibbs, I think it is time you tell me who she is, and why you lied to me earlier" he said "Well it wasn't a complete lie, although she isn't a friend of my daughter, she and Ziva seem it get on really well and we were taking her to see Abby. And it turns out she is Agent Callan's older sister." he tells the Director "What happened to her?"       "As I told Callan when he asked, we don't know, she turned up on Ziva's door looking like this and passed out before she could answer any questions. When she woke up she barely spoke and had complete amnesia, we still don't know her first name." Gibbs says "Mr Callan, do you know her name?" Vance asks "With you due respect Director I don't even know my own first name, do you really think I know her name. We both repressed memories. Apparently I repressed a lot." Callan tells him "Ok, Gibbs, you know you can't investigate this, this isn't Navy or Marine, we don't have jurisdiction over this." Leon tells Gibbs "We do if it's family. She came to Ziva which means she must know Ziva in some way, even if she can't remember it, that means we can investigate, my team and I'm guessing Callan's team." Gibbs says everyone looks defensive, even Abby "You're going to look into this even if I tell you not to aren't you?" he asks everyone "Yep" he gets from everyone "Fine, I will compromise with you. The girl goes with Callan back to LA where his team takes point on the investigation and you can all help from here along side any other case that comes up, that sounds fair doesn't it?" Director Vance asks "Um Director? I don't think she is going to want to leave Ziva" Abby says fearfully "Fine Ziva, do you want to go with them?" all attention is on the Israeli girl "Yes please." he nods and goes back to his office with a smile on his face 

Callan's POV

After the Director goes back to his office my phone rings, scaring my sister, right amnesia "It's ok, someone is just calling me, they need to talk to me" I tell her. I take my phone out, answering it without looking at the caller ID "Hello?" I ask who ever is calling me "G, where the hell are you? I went to your place you weren't there, I go to work you weren't there either. What the hell man?!" oops, I may have forgotten to tell anyone I was leaving "Oh hey Sam, my bad I got an emergency call from Abby a couple of hours ago, i had to get to DC as quickly as I could which means I didn't have time to leave a note or anything. Don't worry, I will be on my way back in an hour or two." I tell him, smiling thinking about the fact my sister is back in my life "An emergency? Is everything alright?" he asks me worried "Everything is fantastic, I will see you in a couple of hours, plus two" I tell him, hanging up before he can ask me who I was bringing with me. "Looks like we should start to get going, Ziva do you want to pack a bag? You could be with us for a while" I ask her "Of course, do you and your sister want to come with me that way after I have packed we can get on the road straight away?"  I nod "Большая систра(big sister), Come on, we are going to where I live. Me, you and Ziva. Do you want to say goodbye to everyone?" She nods and hugs Abby then Ducky and finally Gibbs. "Will I see you all again?" her English is getting a little better "Of course my dear, you will always be welcome here" Ducky tells her. Before we go Abby signs 'It was really nice meeting you, I hope we speak again soon' with a sad smile.

Most of the conversations between just Callan and his sister are in Russian because her English still isn't great

After we went to Ziva's house where she packs a bag for both her and my sister claiming they were around the same size and it was better than no clothes at all, which I agree with we start the drive to LA. I am driving with my sister sitting shotgun and Ziva in the bag seat. "Do you remember the story mother used to tell us when we couldn't sleep?" My sister asks me "The Wolf and the Moon?" I ask her unsure whether that is the one she meant, "Yes, do you think you could tell me it. I'm tired but to afraid to sleep." she asks me, I take her hand and start telling the story as best as I remember it "There was once a wolf. Fur black as the pupil of a bandit's eye. He was all alone in the wide woods. Alone from the ancient blue light of the dawn to the fox-red skies of sunset. No pack. But during the nights, he wasn't lonely. For the first night he realised he was alone, he raised his head to the sky and howled his despair, and the moon howled back. For the moon was alone too. There was only one. So while the wolf spent his days hunting on his own, his nights were spent on the highest rock he could find, conversing with the moon. They spoke of stardust and the odd behaviour of the humans they both saw from distance. They spoke of the whispering noises the trees made and the burning-too-bright light of the morning sun. The wolf and the moon fell in love." I start, but by the end of that she is sound asleep "Agent Callan, if you don't mind, could you carry on with the story, I haven't hear it before" Ziva asks me quietly so not to wake my sleeping sister "Sure, and you can just call me Callan, everyone else does.  But it was not meant to be, for they were separated by distance and form. There could be no curling up together in a den like the wolf desired, or soaring through the cosmos in each other's gravity like the moon wished for. Saddened by this the wolf turned away from the moon when he could, for it hurt him to look anymore. He joined the village nearby, learned to walk on two legs and grow a human face. He became the wise man of the village, well-loved by all by all who lived there. When death came, he was surrounded by all who considered him Father, though he fathered none. The wolf exhaled one last time, then took Death's hand, expecting to be taken to the After, but Death shook his head and pointed one bony hand to the sky. The wolf had done well and would get the one wish he had never been granted in life. He became moon dust, to finally travel with the moon, and soar through the cosmos in each other's gravity." I finish the story, when I look back to Ziva I see that she is as fast asleep as my sister is. I smile, while continuing to drive back to my work place.

When we get there, both of the girls are still asleep. I decide to only wake Ziva knowing that my sister probably hasn't had a really good sleep in a long time. "Ziva" I say shaking her shoulder "Ziva it's time to wake up, we are here" she wakes up with a start, shoving a knife to my throat still half asleep "Ziva it's me, Callan. We need to go in." that for some reason wakes her completely "Callan, I'm sorry" she says taking the knife away from my throat "I am not the best person to wake up like that, or in any way" she tells me getting out of the car "I noticed, you snore rather loudly by the way" she gives me an offended look "Are we not going to wake your sister?"     "No, I thought she should sleep some more. I am just going to carry her in and put her on the couch and let her wake up on her own" I tell her, she nods her approval. I unbuckle my sister form the car picking her up, one arm under her head the other under her legs. She is so light, it scares me slightly. "Can you get the door Ziva?"  She opens the door allowing me to go first with my sister. When we get to where my team works, we get weird looks from all three members of my team "Is she ok? She doesn't look so good" Deeks says "shh, she is fine she is just asleep and if she doesn't stay that way there will be trouble" I tell him with only a little bit of a threat there he backs up apologising quietly. I put her on the couch pulling up the blanket, so she doesn't get cold sleeping, she stirs slightly "Родной брат?" (Brother?) she says sleepily "Все хорошо, спи" (It's alright, sleep) I tell her as she drifts back to sleep. My team look at me confused as to whats going on "I should probably explain, right?" I ask not really knowing what to say. They all nod "Right, we should go up to ops so I only have to explain once. Ziva can you stay with her? I don't want her waking up without someone she knows."     "Of course" she tells me going to sit next to my sister, on the floor. "One of you get Hetty and then meet us in ops" I tell my team. Here goes nothing.


A/N 1661 words, there we go. two updates in one day, WHAT. if only i was that good with the rest of my books. i have been trying to think of a way to get them to go to LA to meet the rest of the team and this is the only way i could think.I'm aware him telling the story in russian means Ziva doesn't understand but i am trying to think of a way around that little issue and when i think of one that makes sense i will update it but for now it's gonna stay the way it is. i don't actually have anything to say other than that..... shocking i  know. anyways comment what you though and any improvements you can think of
