<span style="font-family:Assistant"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff80"><span style="font-size: 15px">Ziva waved off his apology.  "It is no thing. I am used to how my father and brother make people feel. Trust me, you have not </span></span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(0, 255, 128)"><span style="font-size: 15px">been </span></span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff80"><span style="font-size: 15px"> offensive. I have heard and even said worse about both of them over the years. I love my family, but they can be.. what is that word...? Difficult? Yes, difficult." They stepped into autopsy and she gave the elderly medical examiner a smile when she saw him. She removed her badge from her pocket and showed him, as she introduced herself. "Dr. Mallard, I am Ziva David. I am with the Mossad."<br/>
<br/>
"I am also Ari's sister</span></span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(0, 255, 128)"><span style="font-size: 15px">, </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Assistant"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(0, 255, 128)">and I wish to sit in as you examine his body. I wish to make sure that he is treated with respect. I realize that will be difficult for you given that he has harmed Agent Todd, so I will be here to make sure nothing unfortunate happens. I will not be in your way, but I will be close by to keep an eye on both you and Ari's body.</span></span></span><span style="font-family:Assistant"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff80"><span style="font-size: 15px">" She hadn't said anything to Agent DiNozzo since they had arrived at autopsy a few minutes before. She turned to him now and then said, "Agent DiNozzo,  thank you."<br/>
<br/>
"For showing me where autopsy is. However, </span></span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(0, 255, 128)"><span style="font-size: 15px">perhaps your time would be better spent with you </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Assistant"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(0, 255, 128)">checking on Agent Gibbs and making </span></span></span><span style="font-family:Assistant"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff80"><span style="font-size: 15px">sure that he is okay. You do not have to worry about Dr. Mallard. Or about me harming him. He is... All medical personnel in Israel are respected, and I bring that custom with me wherever I go. Besides, Dr. Mallard looks like he has kind eyes.." She said and gave him a slight smile, and for the first time since she had arrived in the United States, she allowed herself to relax just a fraction of a bit. <br/>
<br/>
"You might also call Miss Sciuto and ask for an update on Agent Todd. Hopefully her vitals will be well, even with her in a coma.." After she had said all of that, she fell silent and walked deeper into the room, her eyes back on Ari's body once more. She leaned over and kissed his cheek gently, and spoke in Hebrew: "אחי, אתה יכול לנוח בשלום, ואת כל השדים שלך סוף סוף להיות לנוח."<br/>
