A good story

I think Ziva is in character. Nice story. :)

"Do you have any siblings?" "Not anymore," Ziva answered quietly. "Oh," Ducky said surprised and slightly apologetically. He had not meant to bring up something that was a painful memory for her." - AW! at how sensitive Ducky is.

"Ari knew I was Gibbs' back up and he thought that I would not shot him," - "not shoot him".

"I think that he thought I would not shot him to save Gibbs because I barely knew Gibbs," - "not shoot him".

"Gibbs said that he shot Ari because I would have been I big trouble at Mosad if my father knew I had killed his mole…" - "in big trouble".

"It's just losing Kate and having here replaced so soon and they don't know that you killed Ari or how much it cost you," - "her replaced so soon".

A little OOC but still really sweet.

Great one-shot. I always thought that while Gibbs and Ziva had that bond of trust between them that no-one else had and Ziva was friends with Tony, Tim and eventually Abby as well as being close friends with Jenny, Ducky and Ziva had a different bond, one based on true friendship and the ability to understand each other well...

Very sweet. Nicely written of the budding friendship between those two. I can see him being concerned about her and her deciding to open up to him. Well done.
