A/n: I could go through the time consuming process of translating all the stuff that should be in French to French, but it would be computer done and horribly inaccurate therefore any thing done like *this* should be in French.

Code: NCIS

A teen girl with black hair ran through Washington DC and ended up in the middle of the street in front of a very vintage car.

The vehicle stopped a few feet away and the driver got out

"What on Earth would make you run out into the street like that?" Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard demanded then he saw the condition the asian teen was in.

"Dear God, what has happened to you, child?"

She didn't respond

"Can you speak?"

"Je ne comprends pas" she said

Ducky wasn't sure how to handle this situation, she was speaking French, he could tell that much, but he didn't know what she said

Then he saw his saving grace drive up in a red Mini Cooper, it was Ziva David, she spoke French.

"Ziva, can you help... she speaks French, apparently only French"

"Oh..." Ziva approached the teen who backed away

"*Do not be afraid, I want to help you*" Ziva said

"*You speak French?*" the girl asked

"*Yes I do*" Ziva Daivd guided the teen off the street and tried to find out what had happened to her

"*My name is Ziva and this is Dr. Mallard, but most of us call him Ducky*"

"*My name is Yumi Ishiyama, I was born in Japan and raised in France.*" Yumi told her and explained what had happened to her, or what she felt comfortable telling her.

Ziva told Ducky what Yumi told her, unaware of how nervous Yumi was about him. Ducky made the judgement call to alert Gibbs of the girl's presence.

"Ducky are you sure she is telling the truth?" Gibbs asked

"Regardless of where she is from, she needs help, Jethro, that much is certain."

"Bring her to headquarters, I think Abby is still here, we can use our connections to check the international missing persons to see if her story checks out"

"She doesn't seem to speak English, Jethro, she only speaks French" Ducky warned "and she has practically glued herself to Ziva"

"Because Ziva speaks French" Gibbs thought aloud

Ziva drove Yumi to NCIS headquarters, mostly because she wouldn't get in the car with Ducky, who drove behind them. Ducky realized that Ziva seemed to drive more cautiously than normal, he wondered if that was because of the fragile state Yumi was in, or if it was just due to the fact that Yumi was in the vehicle at all.

They arrived to see Jethro Gibbs and Abigail Sciuto wating for them. Abby had Bert in her arms.

"Abigail, why do you have Bert up here?" Ducky asked

"She's so far from home, I thought that she might feel more comfortable if she had something to hold on to" Abby replied

"And you didn't think that Bert's flatulent noises would bother her?" Ducky asked

"No, I didn't" Abby replied

Ziva walked over to them

"I told Yumi about Bert and she would like to see him" Ziva stated

"Okay," Abby smiled and handed over Bert

"*Thank you*" Yumi said as she took Bert. One tight squeeze caused the stuffed toy to 'break wind and this seemed to ease the tension, if only for a moment.

Ziva was told to interview Yumi and find out what they needed to know about her captor and how she ended up in the US in the first place.

Yumi asked if she could hold Bert while she and Ziva spoke and Abby agreed.

Ziva guided Yumi aside so they could talk. Ziva could gage how stressed Yumi was by Bert who was normally silent, but when Yumi got too distressed she'd squeeze him therefore causing him to make noise and Ziva could tell by that she should change subjects or her wording.

"*Yumi, do you remember anything distinctive about this person, any unique features?*"

"*He did say he was a marine, and he kept flaunting an identification card, I don't remember the name, I never actually got a good look at it*"
