(ooc: Before I start, super huge amazingly big spoilers for the end of Season 6 of NCIS. I took her originally from the Christmas episode, which is mid-Season 6, and I was always really grateful because tension picks up as the series goes on. As much as I would love her to still be from the Christmas episode, with this event she will now be from early 6.25 "Aliyah." The episode can be watched here: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/ncis/video/video.php?cid=446409482&pid=riO2MQctK49F1q4PcnQyiQfQF44ZlD7n&category=recent&play=true With that in mind, Ziva will be particularly different when she comes back to the House. Paranoid, on edge, dodgy, etc.)

[Quiet flickering as the device somewhat turns on. A sharp voice:] Ziva.
[Ziva's reply is somewhat louder:] I know what you are going to say Gibbs.
[Gibbs's voice is softer, concerned:] No I don't think you do.
[A short silence with only the muted murmurs of footfalls.]
[Anxiously, Ziva speaks:] I know you think I lied to you, about Rivkin, but I did not. You asked me if I knew him, if he worked for Mossad, not if I was seeing him, not...
[Gibbs interrupts:]Sit down.
[The device flickers a little before the conversation continues:]
[Softly, with concern, Gibbs speaks:] Your apartment's been destroyed. Gas fire. Earlier this morning.
[Cautiously, Ziva continues:] Perhaps the line was damaged during the fight. I would talk to Tony.
[Urgently, Gibbs:] No. This was no accident. The gas lines were cut. Any idea---
[Ziva, with a terse and short reply:] No.
[Gibbs:] That was a quick answer.
[Ziva:] Simple question.
[Gibbs:] Ziva, it's your home.
Ziva:] No it's not.
[Footfalls into silence and the device flickers out into silence.]
