Gibbs rushed into the bullpen; with an invisible puff smoke in his trail.

This was a say no-one was going to mess with him.

Tony was at his desk, his attention glued to the glowing computer screen in front of him, utterly unbeknownst to Gibbs' sudden presence.

However, suddenly there was an eerily silent calm as Gibbs noticed a vacant desk across from his.

Kate's desk.

His mind suddenly lurched into a thousand possibilities. Ever since that damned terrorist had taken her away from him all those months ago, he couldn't go without the reassurance that she would be at her desk every morning.

"DiNozzo, where's Kate?" Gibbs asked, with a silent hint of concern.

"Uh... I dunno boss. It's only 8:10, she should be here soon…" The younger agent replied, and flashed his million-dollar grin before shutting off whatever was going to earn him a pink slip if Gibbs ever found out what was formally on the screen.

Gibbs glanced at his watch. Every ticking second made his brow furrow deeper and his eyes dart quicker.

At 8:13am in quickly strode the female agent, without a breath of concern.

Gibbs glanced up from his paper work to see her finally relieve his anxieties.

He was sure that he had read the paper work for the one thousands time, so he grabbed another one that was placed on the corner of his desk. He was slightly confused.

"That wasn't there before…was it?" Gibbs questioned himself, but quickly dismissed it as he assured himself that Agent Morrow had handed it to him before his… cough… distraction.

Gibbs quickly scanned over the file, "Hhmm…a navy lieutenant involved in smuggling…illegal…body found at pier…"

He could faintly hear Tony and Kate's usual banter… "Well, if you knew anything about women Tony, you would know what she meant…" Kate stated.

"Ah…but as every guy knows, women never want the real answer, they just want you to tell them what they want to hear…" Tony gimmicked.

"Tony…women want honest relationships, you have to always tell them how you feel and the tru…"

Though before she had a chance to finish

"Alright, enough of that…" Gibbs stood up from his desk and narrowed his eyes at the two agents. Whilst purposely avoiding the eyes of one in particular.

"Get your gear… we've got a case. DiNozzo, get Ducky. Kate…" Gibbs paused and threw his coffee cup in the trash by her desk.

"…you're with me." He finished and strode out of the bullpen and into the elevator.

Gibbs instantly breathed a sigh of relief as the two sliver doors clammed shut, hopefully in his mind as well so he could keep out one other distraction.
