So I'm taking a story that's been done, and twisting it a little bit, I hope you enjoy it.

Why Him?

"Are you talking about me Elmo?" Kate, looked up at the sound of the familiar voice, but that was not the only familiarity that caught her attention.

'Sawdust' she thought, sawdust and Ducky could only mean one thing. Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

"He air expressed him steaks?" the FBI guy, Fornell or something like that.

"It's a big state, look how long it took him to get here." Kate said trying to keep a straight face, she knew Gibbs and she knew how NCIS played.

Kate escorted the FBI off the aircraft and then charged back up the stairs.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"We flew down here to take over the investigation." Gibbs told her smirking at her.

"First the FBI tries to muscle in on the investigation and now NCIS." Kate sounded exasperated

"Well I do believe this is a dead Navy officer." God she wanted to slap that smirk off his face.

"Who died on AIRFORCE ONE after having lunch with THE PRESIDENT!" Kate continued to make her point "who it's my job to protect."

"OK we can share jurisdiction. You can be on my team." She knew he was enjoying every moment of this.

"Why should you have the investigation?" Kate demanded.

"Have you ever worked a crime scene agent Todd?" He asked sarcastically

"I am a secret service agent."

There it was, she thought, that smirk again "I thought not."

She felt herself getting angry. "Wait don't dismiss me like that. I earnt my jockstrap."

"Yeah? Does it ever give you that empty feeling?"

"What?" Kate asked

"Your jockstrap."

"No. Like some species of frogs I grow what I need." He was looking right at her now, a small smirk on her face. Damn it Kate, don't give in to him again there's a reason you didn't work the first time.

"Gibbs!" One of the guys who came aboard with Gibbs and Ducky called as he came down the stairs. "The pilot won't take off until the secret service chick gives us the thumbs up."

"Guess that makes it my team now." Kate said smiling it felt good to get one over on him.

Kate stood in the middle of the NCIS bullpen listening to a gothic forensic scientist tell her to throw herself in front of the Presidents diet. She turned to leave, following Fornell out when she heard it.

"Kate." She turned to find him holding out a packet of gum, she smiled, he remembered that she hated it when she didn't get a chance to go home freshen up and brush her teeth. "When's the President returning."

"Tomorrow." She hesitated briefly "Noon. I'm flying out tonight to rejoin the detail."

"Mind if I tag along." Kate cocked her head to the side.

Gibbs smiled, he knew that move "Please."

"You can." She was enjoying this. "Your sig sauer can't we have a rule on Air Force one no weapons onboard unless they're secret service."

Bastard. He always had to be right. The one movie she thought he'd enjoy more than the romantic comedies she usually made him watch, had come back to bite her on the ass. Well not really, he'd help save the President, but he was still right and that what bugged her.

"Pull that crap at NCIS and I won't give you a chance to resign." He called as went past her on his way to the gate.

"Wait! Is that a job offer?" Kate called after him

'What are you thinking Kate, you couldn't live with a relationship what are you going to do now he's your boss?'

TBC...

This is a pretty short chapter, just meant as an introduction, if you think I should keep going just let me know.
