<span style="font-family:Libre Baskerville"><span style="font-size: 12px">Ziva nodded, as she listened to Agent Gibbs speak. She didn't flinch under his glare or even when he growled at her. She knew that he was upset and stressed, but she still wasn't going to let that get in the way of her mission here. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her badge to show him. "Ziva David, Mossad. I am here on behalf <br/>
of the Director of the Mossad. I am Ari Haswari's handler. I also know your Director Shepard, and she has agreed to let me deal with Ari and bring him back to Israel, where he will face charges for his attempts on your life."<br/>
<br/>
"Also that of your team's, and for his latest attempt, which was on Agent Todd." She put her badge back into her pocket once more, and moved to stand directly in front of Gibbs this time. "I am informing you of what is going to happen, Agent Gibbs. If you try to interfere with my orders to take Ari back to Israel, back to the Mossad, then you will be putting the treaty between Israel and the United States in jeopardy. And with the strained relations there already is, I am sure that you do not want to make things worse."<br/>
<br/>
"I am authorised to remove Ari Haswari from your jurisdiction by any means necessary. If you try to stop me, I will use lethal force. I do not wish to do so, but I will if it comes down to it." There was no hesitation at all in her words or on her face as she told Agent Gibbs the way it was going to be. It didn't matter that Ari was her half brother. That they shared the same father. She was there to do a job, and follow her father's orders to get Ari back to Israel to face justice for his crimes. The thought that Ari had gone after Agent Gibbs, his team, and had nearly killed Agent Todd, put a lump in her throat the size of a boulder. <br/>
<br/>
But she quickly brushed the feeling away. Now wasn't the time to get sentimental. Ari had put them all in jeopardy by acting out against their father. His actions could start a war between Israel and the United States. So, to prevent that from happening, she was here to capture her half brother, and bring him home. Ziva just hoped that she'd get the chance to do so. She could already see it in Agent Gibbs and his team's eyes. Their need for revenge was pulling at them, but they had it tamped down for the moment as they waited for news of Agent Todd and what her condition was. <br/>
<br/>
She cleared her throat and then shot a look at Agent Gibbs, and both of his men. "That goes for the two of you, as well. If anyone from NCIS tries to interfere with my orders to bring Ari in, alive.. You will be arrested, brought to Israel and punished there. And one thing to know.. Jails in Israel are not as soft as they are here. You will not get three fulls meals a day. You will not have a bench to sit on, and you will not be released because some fancy lawyer showed up and sprouted out a bunch of legal nonsense." She looked back to Gibbs.<br/>
<br/>
"And before you take that as a threat, you should know. I do not threaten. I simply promise. And I keep my promises." After she had spoken, she turned around and walked off. As she walked off, she pulled her phone out of her pocket, pressed a number on speed dial, and immediately began to speak in Hebrew as she left. She hadn't reacted to when Agents Gibbs and DiNozzo had removed their shirts in public. She was well aware that it was to keep the strangely dressed woman from freaking out. The unsettling thought went through her mind that the sight of Agent DiNozzo's  chest wasn't such a bad thing to look at..</span></span>
