Jenny watched the team as they entered the darkened room. She swallowed hard, mentally preparing herself for what's about to come. Ziva's words still echoing in her ears. She made mistakes and was well aware of that, but so did others. She hated herself for what she did to Tony, but nevertheless, she kept making excuses. Gibbs? That was another story. She will take the hit from the team, and even apologise, but she will never break or fall under him--the man who dismissed the fundamental notion of apology.<br/><br/>As they approached her in the front of the big screen, she cleared her throat softly, hiding everything that she ever felt. She was the Director, and most certainly could not allow herself to show doubt in front of her agents.<br/>''SecNav wants you on a specific case'' she informed. Before they had a chance to ask any questions, she continued ''There is a serial killer, hunting in the DC area. Targeting marine wives'' she explained. She then pulled the files from under her arm and passed them away to the team. ''All details are in there'' she informed. She did not dare to look at their faces, as she knew what she would see on them.<br/><br/>''You can go now'' she dismissed them, her voice gentle. As they started to turn to leave she called for Ziva.<br/>''Officer David'' she waited until the rest of the team exited the room before speaking to her.<br/><br/>''I know what I did was wrong. Very wrong.'' she lowered her head. ''It was not because I didn't trust you.'' her voice started to shake. ''Tony deserved better and I should have handled it better.'' she made a step closer to Ziva, lifting her head up and making an eye contact. ''I am sorry, Ziva'' she said softly like she was speaking to sister. ''You saved my life in Cairo, and I trust you beyond words.'' she smiled gently, letting Ziva know, that she had never forgotten the terror Ziva had saved her from. ''As for Gibbs'' she started ''That is between me and him. And whatever I give him, he deserves it.'' she explained, her eyes pleading for understanding. Her heart hoping that Ziva will see things from her point of view when it came to Gibbs. After all, she did spoke often of him when they were on a mission in the Middle East together. Ziva knew a lot about their situation, but still, she did not know everything. She could not comprehend how terrible Jenny felt when she had found out about Shannon and Kelly last year. How betrayed. She loved the man, they spent two years together, she had put her life into his hand, and yet, he never told her of his loss. And yet, he laughed at her when she told him she loved him, although she never expected him to say it back, she did not expect him to laugh at her feelings at all. ''I will make it up to you'' she said softly, silently praying that she would get another chance from Ziva.<br/><br/><br/>Tony was in the bullpen, with Gibbs and McGee, reading over the file, when he heard the doors to MTAC open. He glanced up at Ziva, still deliberating whether or not he should have a serious talk with her. There was something about her, that made him feel safe. At the moment, she was the person he trusted the most.<br/>When she approached her desk, Tony shot her a question ''What was all that about?'' he asked, referring to her private meeting with Jenny. Then he glanced over at Gibbs and realized it was probably not a good idea to discuss anything connected to Jenny in front of him, partly because he was pissed, but mostly because, despite everything, he leaned more to Jenny's side than to Gibbs'.
