A/N; This is a tag for 'Twilight' the season two finale. Unfortunately I watched this episode out of sequence a couple months ago and knew it was coming up. Back then I didn't have the attachment to Kate that is only natural to develop after watching two season of the show. I will soarly miss the camaraderie that was shared with the whole team, no doubt it continues between the remaining members but she added something to it, that I wasn't expecting when I began watching. I watch it with my mom and she's still shocked and we can't wait for the next episode tonight. I have to add that on watching it the second time it is very interesting to notice the amount of foreshadowing they used. I will be writing a tag for 'SWAK' as well but could not resist posting this first. Despite the subject matter I hope you enjoy. :)
Blank...That was my mind after...No sarcastic comment, no wisecrack, I didn't even allow it to register as I raised my gun. It was too big, too unbearable. I aimed it at something unseen in the distance, something that I wanted to kill with a passion that scared me. I didn't want it to happen but it finally registered. She was dead. Kate Todd, my partner, my victim, my tormentor, my friend. I feel something on my face, her blood. Oh God... But I can't break down. I lower my gun and let it drop loosely to my side, as useless now as it had been moments before. Now I lower my gaze, she's lying there, eyes staring into the sky. What do we do now, how did we move on from this.
We had lost people in the past, Gibbs and I, Ducky and Abs too. We'd been on the same team for four years, that had consequences. But we'd never lost a close team member, someone who was there everyday, who we had shared a bond with, who fit into our little family perfectly. Now there's a link missing, one that will never be replaced. As I meet Gibbs' eyes over our dead comrade, for the first time since this happened, I see a rage and sadness, almost despair. A look that I know to be mirrored in my own. Ari was not going to see another sunrise if we had anything to do with it. We owed that to our friend. We owed that to Kate. Then we could mourn. Then we could cry, scream, shout. But now we had a job to do and with that, without a word, we acknowledge our deep loss and also the necessity to keep moving. We had lost her, but it would not be in vain.
Reviews will cheer me up :)
