Chapter 1
Gibbs closed his door and walked to the Dodge Charger. For 4 days it was the same scenario. Wake up under his boat, take a shower, driving to his coffee shop, go to work, do some paperwork, go out for lunch. Do some more paperwork or looking in old cases files, give Tony some head slaps, go home at 5, order some take away crap and go home for working on his boat. When he started the car the radio popped on:
"Good morning Lady's and Gentleman, Welcome to Mike's morning show. I'm Mike and hear comes a song for the loved ones it's Bon Jovi with Bed of roses!"
"Not again." Gibbs growled.
It was the 4th time he heard it in 4 days. First in the restaurant, second in the bullpen, third in Abby's lab cause she was in a romantic mood and now hear in the car. 15 minutes later he stopped at the usual place his coffee shop and got 2 coffee's. Not long after that he drove in the Navy Yard. He parked his car and got in.
" Hey Gibbs!" said the security guard.
"Aah Morning Tom, how is the wife and the newborn!" Gibbs responded
"Fine almost 2 months." Tom the security guard said.
"Before you know there 18 an out house." Gibbs said with a smile.
"Yeah!" the guard said.
Gibbs pushed the elevator button and the doors opened.
"See ya later, Tom!" Gibbs said and walked in the elevator.
The guard couldn't answer any more because he was gone.
Gibbs entered the bullpen and put a coffee mug on his favorite female agent desk. Since day 1 he liked her. Nothing could destroy her beautiful smile, he loved so much.
"Morning, what's that for?"
"For holding 4 days of annoying teasing from Tony, Kate." He answered.
"Thank you." Kate said.
Gibbs hung is jacket on his chair and sat down. He looked at the space behind Kate's desk. There was a pillow, a nice perfect fold blanket and a large bag, she normally takes with her when they are on stake out,….
"Did you sleep her last night?" Gibbs asked.
"No, why would you think that?" Kate said turning read like a teenager who was caught with smoking.
"Normally, you have your bag at home." He knew almost every detail what she liked and did most of the time.
"Well,… My heating is broken and its winter and it's not really warm without any heating. So I'll stay here for a day our 2. I won't bother any one at Christmas eve." She explained
" I understand" was all he said and started working.
4.45 p.m.
"Boss, can we go?" Tony asked.
"No!" Gibbs answered.
"Come on Boss its Christmas eve!" Tony said like a stubborn little boy.
"Go, go!" was all Gibbs said.
Tony took his jacket and was gone. Not very long after that Gibbs did the same but stopped at Kate's desk.
"Grab your things!" he said.
"Why?" Kate said surprised.
"You should be home decorating the tree with some friends or family!"
Why Gibbs? Because I'm a women, I like decorating?" she said serious.
"No, you like tradition! Now grab your things you're going home with me." He said.
"Damn he knows me!" Kate thought.
