<span style="font-family:Assistant"><span style="font-size: 15px">After everything with Agent Gibbs and Ari, and then being questioned for a few hours, she was ready to leave. Ready to go to the hotel room she was renting while in town and just try and forget about everything for a while. As she stepped out of interrogation and ran into Agent DiNozzo, she heard him apologize and did the same. "I am sorry, too. Thank you, I would like that. I wish to accompany you to autopsy and check in with Dr. Mallard and see for myself that Ari's body is being treated with respect." <br/>
<br/>
A frown came to her lips as she listened to Agent DiNozzo tell her that Agent Todd was in a coma. "I am glad that she is still alive, though I am sorry she is in a coma. I hope she is able to wake up soon.." She said softly, and she meant it. "I wish that I had known Ari's true plans earlier. I would have stopped him before he could hurt Agent Todd. <br/>
I would have forced him to listen to me and gotten him to see reason. But he was driven by the hate in his heart." She quickly cleared her throat, and forced away the emotion she felt about the entire situation. <br/>
<br/>
"Lead the way to autopsy, please." After she spoke, she fell silent once more and found herself lost in her thoughts and memories. As they walked to autopsy, her phone rang and she pulled it from her pocket to read the display. At the sight of her father's name, she sucked in a deep breath, released it, and then squared her shoulders as if she were going into battle, and answered. As soon as she heard her father's voice, she broke into rapid Hebrew where she tried to explain the situation to him, though he didn't want to hear it.. <br/>
<br/>
When he started shouting through the phone, her voice got softer, more serious, the louder his got. And no matter what she said, the shouting got worse and worse. She closed her eyes to take a moment to once more, bury her thoughts, feelings, and emotions and when she spoke again, it was in English. "I understand, father. You will do what you have to, and so will I." Her anger sparked as they talked, and for the moment, she forgot that she was still speaking in English. "When does the ban on Israel start? What about my home, my things...?"<br/>
<br/>
Ziva paused and listened for several minutes. "There is no need to bomb the place. Just have one of your men send my things that I had gotten from my mother, Tali and Ari over the years. Everything else is just things, you can burn them. I will get a storage while I am in town and put those things in there. And father? You will not have to worry about me showing up at Ari's funeral. I will make sure he gets to Israel okay, and then I will drop off your radar." She paused to listen and then said, "If you had been worried about what my mother or Ari's mother wanted, then you would not have trained your children to be killers."<br/>
<br/>
"I will call you tomorrow to tell you where to send my things.." She snapped her phone shut angrily, but didn't say anything else as they walked into autopsy.</span></span>
