A/N as you all can tell this is a rewrite of one of my stories: The Necklace I felt it was way too short and didn't give enough "screen time" to our favorite agents the original story is still up if you want to compare them ( it might ruin the ending though) but it will only be up for about a week because I need to refer to it while I'm writing since my original notes for this story are 3 states away right now on my laptop with my brother. And please please please! Review! Tell what you think, give me ideas, whatever! Reviews give me motivation! So Please do, I'm working hard to not rush this story and improve my writing so if you have and pointers I'd love to hear them! So without further ado here's the story
Warring: this is a deathfic. This does have some OCs, and a McGee/Abby pairing later on
Disclaimer: I do not own N.C.I.S or any of the characters. If I did jenny and Kate would still be alive
*I know Caitlin Todd's name is spelled with a "c" but I've been spelling it with a "k" for years so it's a habit sorry!*
Prologue
Third person P.O.V
Gibbs glanced up from working on his boat when he heard his front door open. He stilled for a moment to listen. There were two sets of footsteps one light, and feminine the other was heavier and masculine, they were very different but they both had the same stride and the same confidence to them. Gibbs smiled slightly as he recognized the footsteps as his agents. "Tony! When you said 'going out for drinks' I thought you meant a bar not Gibb's house" Katelynn said her voice filling the mostly quiet house.
"We ARE going to a bar Katie, I just need to check on something" Tony said then flung open the door to Gibbs basement and bounded down the stairs. Katelynn rolled her eyes at him then walked down the stairs after him "did you finish it boss?" asked Tony his face hopeful. Gibbs just smirked slightly and jerked his chin in the direction of his work bench where his newly finished project sat. Tony flashed a winning smile and picked it up while Katelynn hovered behind him curiously. It was a small wooden box with intricate and beautiful designs carved into it.
"A jewelry box DiNozzo?" Katelynn asked teasing him. "Need a place to put all your earrings?" she continued. Tony shot her a death glare.
"You're just mad because Gibb's didn't make anything for you" Tony said then put his nose up in an exaggerated sign of superiority. Katelynn and Tony were too busy arguing to notice Gibb's sly look.
"Inside DiNozzo" he said and turned back to his boat. Tony gave him a confused look then opened the box, inside was a small wooden star about half the size of his palm and about ½ an inch thick on a simple sliver chain. Tony took it from the box and handed the box to Katelynn.
"Oh boss you shouldn't have" Tony said sarcastically "I'm not real big on necklaces, well if it had like 'Danger, good looks can kill' on it or something mayb-"Tony was cut off with a smack to the back of the head.
"Not for you DiNozzo" he said then turned it to one side and pointed to something that was carved into it. Tony peered down at it.
"Nice knife work boss must have been hard to carve these tiny letters" Tony commented then rubbed his thumb over the letters. "K…T?" He asked uncertainly. Katelynn looked up from inspecting the box
"You like stars, right Kate?" Gibbs asked and leaned against his boat.
"Well-um yeah I guess but I don't-"she trailed off uncertainly, and looked at the necklace in Tony's hand.
"Knew DiNozzo would gloat about the box so I made that for you" Gibbs said then reached around Tony to grab a sander.
"You couldn't even give me 5 minutes" Tony complained Gibbs just glared at him Tony quickly turned his gaze Kate. "Turn around Kate" he asked she complied and moved her hair to make it easier for him to put on. Tony deftly placed it around her neck then fumbled with the clasp unable to hook it back together.
"Problem Tony?" Katelynn asked teasingly.
"No" Tony muttered frustrated "There!" he said as he finally clipped it back together "see Katie no problem" he said. Katelynn looked down at the necklace the chain was just long enough for her to tuck it under her shirt, right next to her cross necklace.
"Thanks Gibbs, I really like it" she said and brushed her thumb over her initials. Gibbs nodded at her and turned to sand his boat.
"Yeah thanks Boss, gotta run see you tomorrow" Tony said grabbing the box and starting up the stairs. "Come on Kate lets go get those drinks" he said and bounded up the stairs in his usual carefree style. Katelynn once again rolled her eyes and followed after him. Gibbs could hear them bickering as they walked to the door.
"Mines better!" Tony proclaimed
"Oh grow up Tony!" Katelynn shot back
"You know this reminds of the movie where they-"Tony was cut off by Katelynn smacking the back of his head.
"One more word DiNozzo and you're drinking alone" Katelynn threatened
"Ah but my dear Katie you forget, I have the keys" he said and took off to the car
"DINOZZO!" Katelynn yelled after him.

Several years later, May 24th 2005
Kate was sitting at her desk working on one of her reports when she felt a strange heaviness around her neck. Confused she rubbed her neck but the feeling persisted, annoyed Kate rubbed her neck again she felt the chain from her necklace underneath her fingers as she rubbed. Since Gibbs had given it to her she had only taken off to shower and when undercover. On a whim she unclipped the necklace and set it on her desk. Suddenly the heaviness disappeared "weird" she muttered and placed in her drawer and locked it. Just then Gibbs strode into the bullpen "boss I have to tell you-"McGee started to say but was cut off by Gibbs.
"Yeah I know Ari's back in the country"
