Less than 24 hours after she watched that plane depart for Washington D.C., she already compiling intel from what Michael left off in his last mission. Mentally, she made timelines and composed contingency plans, supporting them with what she already know from her previous email correspondences and comparing them with official Mossad records. There were too many unknowns, and even fewer leads, but it was not the first time that she had to make do with less. Like Michael, she would begin in Yemen. But, what she would find was unknown, she could only pray that she would return alive.
Prompts: Challenge #65, team, from ncisdrabble100

Her father had granted her request to assemble a team that would accompany her on her mission. The circumstance were already volatile, but the objective could only be entrusted to a limited circle. In the end, Ziva had chosen two others.
The first was an easy one: Shmuel Rubenstein. He did not work for Mossad despite their shared childhoods. He specialized in linguistics and technology at the Bundesnachrichtendienst, the German foreign intelligence agency. He also had contacts and security clearances for various organizations that he wouldn’t name. They collaborated before where they both came out with multiple contusions, lacerations and broken appendages. She ended up with a coma in a German hospital, but they got the job done. Unlike some of her other partners, Shmuel’s presence was calming one. It was reminiscent to working with McGee at the NCIS.
Her second choice was a more complicated one. Amit Hadar without a doubt, was a skilled officer, honed by years of experience both on the field and within the confines of the director’s office. She was correct in her accusation that he had her father’s ear. Though she could not necessarily access the inexplicable knowledge which Hadar possessed, it was still invaluable resource at her disposal. Not to mention, despite any past grievances that she had with him, Hadar had been always a voice of reason. He was almost the equivalent of Gibbs; Hadar’s words were brusque and firm, but also protective and affectionate. When she made her request, his eyebrow arched not in reproach, but in silent understanding.
So, she journeyed to Africa accompanied by Hadar. Shmuel would rendezvous with them once he established connection with a few contacts in that region. Fingering her Star of David, she turned to one third of her team and said, “Watch my six.”
