A/N: Hey there… yeah, I haven't died. I've just been really busy. I don't know how many of you NCIS fans watched JAG (the show NCIS spun off of). But I did. I LOVED that show. So, an idea hit me. For those JAG fans out there you'll know where I got this idea. Or, at least, you should. So, if you like this and want me to continue it please review, favorite, or alert.

Two years after Kate's death…

It was raining…again. It wasn't cold enough to snow yet. The falling water clapped against the roads and sidewalks.

A woman stood dressed in a trench coat under the shelter of a canopy. She held a steaming cup of coffee in her right hand and in her left the unopened umbrella. A sigh escaped her lips. It fogged then disappeared into the shower.

She knew avoiding it was futile. But a small part of her still was waiting for there to be a break in the downpour. She peeked out of the canopy towards the sky. It resembled the paved streets. She sucked on her lip a moment and then took a large sip of the sweltering hot liquid. She opened the umbrella one handed and left her shelter.

She went to the crosswalk and waited for the sign to turn green. She sipped her coffee again. It warmed her insides and made her shiver. The light changed. She darted carefully across the road and continued her walk against the rain to the NCIS federal building.

Tony and McGee stood by the window staring out into the bleak day. Tony sipped his coffee and let out a sigh. "Aren't you glad we don't have a case today, McGeek?"

McGee shrugged and turned back to the bullpen. "I suppose. I'm not sure I see paperwork as a good alternative."

Tony turned with him and his brow knitted together. "Where's Gibbs?"

Ziva typed a moment and then responded, "He is with the director." Tony nodded slowly and slipped back into his office cubicle. McGee walked past him and to his desk.

The elevator dinged and out walked a medium height brunette with wavy hair down to her shoulders. Her light green eyes scanned the squad room. She tilted her head slightly to the side and walked on, passing Tony's desk.

He looked up preparing to help out the lady but, as his gaze fell upon her, his jaw fell open and his voice caught in his throat. "K-Kate," he forced out in half a whisper.

"What is it, Tony?" McGee asked. Tony pointed to the woman who was climbing up the stairs. McGee followed his finger and his eyes widened.

The woman didn't notice him. She took no notice to the two men below her with shocked expressions on their face. She stepped up onto the next floor and headed for the Director's office.

Tony tore his eyes off her and to McGee. "Who is she?" he asked softly.

"I-I don't know," McGee answered. "But I'm sure we'll find out soon."

Ziva joined them. "Does she not look like Caitlin Todd, your former partner?" Both McGee and Tony turned their heads to her and nodded.

A/N: And, that's where I'm ending it until I get either positive or negative feedback. :)
