Elara turned immediately and saw Ziva kneeling close to her while holding onto her shoulders weakly. There was already a bruise forming across her forehead and her whole body was trembling badly.
Seeing that, Elara immediately reached for the coat around herself intending to place it over Ziva instead.
But Ziva quickly grabbed her hands and stopped her. "It's alright," she muttered weakly. "You're shivering too."
Before Elara could argue, Ziva suddenly gestured forward with her chin. Elara followed her line of sight and her heart almost stopped for a reason herself couldn't even name.
A familiar figure stood beside a black car a short distance away, rain falling heavily around him. Because of the darkness and rain, she couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Mr. Vale," Ziva muttered softly. "He came not long after Carris arrived."
Elara stayed completely still, part of her waiting to see what Adrian would do after seeing her in such a state.
