I was watching "Reveille" and this came to my mind so enjoy. I don't own NCIS. Just after Kate met with Gibbs in the coffee shop. This will be based on some episodes from NCIS. Even though this is a Kari fic it's focused more on Kait Haswari and her relationships with everyone but mostly Kate Todd.

Kate sighed at her meeting with Gibbs. Why does he have to be obsessed with that terrorist? Kate thought as she pushed through the shop.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry!" Kate bumped into a girl no older then thirteen or fourteen. Everything in the girls bag spilled everywhere on the ground.
"It's fine." The girl said bending down to pick up her things and Kate bent down to help the girl. As Kate picked up a photo she couldn't help but see it and she almost fainted at the smiling faces in it. It looked like a younger Gibbs he had brown hair and was holding a red haired woman and young girl.
"Here." Kate said holding out the photo and a wallet. The girl took it and put it into her purse which looked more like a huge bag overflowing with stuff.
"Thanks." The girl said. Kate got a closer look at the girl she had light brown hair, hazel eyes, and pale skin the girl was wearing dark blue jeans and a white v-neck long sleeve shirt with a bright pink shirt showing keeping the v-neck from being inappropriate.
"I'm Kate." Kate held out her hand. The girl grinned at her like she knew something Kate didn't.
"My name's Kait also." The girl said shaking Kate's hand and Kate couldn't help grinning right along with the other Kait.
"I still have grocery shopping to do but it was nice meeting you." Kait said still grinning.
"It was nice meeting you as well." Kate replied thinking what this girls connection to Gibbs could be.
The next thing Kate knows she's chasing after the terrorist that shot Gerald, getting into a car to chase him, and ends up the terrorist's captive. She watches as the terrorist protects her from Mr. Goon after she hit the stupid Mr. Goon after all Mr. Goon hit her. As the terrorist cleans up her lip she couldn't help thinking on Gibbs's words that morning could eyes really lie?
"Papa, I got the groceries but if I have to go shopping with Marta again you will only get one of us back. Oh hello, you're Kate right?" The other Kait said looking surprised when she saw Kate.
"Yeah it's Kate but what are you doing here?" Kate asked frowning at the other Kait.
"I live here, for now. What are you doing here?" Kait asked.
"I was kidnapped and am being held against my will." Kate replied glaring at the terrorist.
"You're holding a federal agent against their will are you insane?" Kait shouted also glaring at the terrorist.
"She will not be harmed, sweetheart, and she'll be returned home in a few hours." The terrorist replied to Kait.
"I'm going to start on dinner and we're not done with this discussion." Kait said not even hesitating in her glare. The teen took the groceries in to the kitchen and Kate could hear her opening and slamming the fridge, freezer, and cupboards. Kate listened as the terrorist and 'Marta' explained what they would do to Tony if she didn't tell Gibbs she had food poisoning. The terrorist and Marta went out to the barn and Kate was told she could roam as she pleased. Kate decided to talk with Kait.
"Do you need any help?" Kate asked the teen.
"Could you start on the salad?" Kait asked pointing to various vegetable on the counter.
"Yeah, sure." the two girls talked as they cooked and they found they had many common interests such as country music, CSI:NY, soccer, and even though Kate preferred sketching and Kait preferred painting neither topic was off limits, and they both had a secret love of writing. Both girls were upset when the terrorist and Marta took Kate out side to talk. After the terrorist killed Marta and Kate learned his name was Ari and he was Mossad Kate called the Secret Service and NCIS both were relieved to hear from her but for entirely different reasons. NCIS was over an hour away and so Kate had dinner with Ari, Kait, Ari's niece and nephew, Rachel and A.J. It amazed Kate how much happiness and love was at the table.
"Kate, are you okay?" Gibbs asked him and Tony running up to her as she sat on the porch swing with Rachel and Kait.
"Gibbs, I'm fine and for goodness sakes put the gun away I'm perfectly safe." Kate said rocking back and forth in the swing.
"How can you say you're fine you were kidnapped by a psychopath." Tony practically screamed.
"He's not a psychopath he's Mossad." Kait said glaring at Tony.
"I don't need to argue with a ten year old." Tony said glaring at Kait.
"I'm thirteen not ten." Kait said standing up and reaching behind her and putting her hand on her knife.
"Alright lets just calm down for a second alright Secret Service will be here soon and we'll get this all sorted out." Kate said seeing that Gibbs and Tony were not going to put their weapons down anytime soon and Kait was about ready to kill Tony.
"Speaking of Secret Service here they are now." Rachel said relieved. Kate sat through debriefing from Secret Service, congratulations from Director Morrow, and yelling from Gibbs. As Kate sat through all of these she wasn't even paying attention she was lost in thought about all she had learned about Ari Haswari. Kate couldn't believe that he had a family or that they were as kind as they were.
Flashback
"If you ever need help just call me." Kait had said passing Kate a slip of paper while Gibbs and Tony were busy trying to intimidate Ari.
"Why would I need this?" Kate asked looking at the phone number.
"People know that you lived through today so they will think you're close to us, putting you in danger." Kait whispered quickly noticing the guys were almost done with their stare down.
"Someone will always answer and trace your location you will be safe anytime you call this number." Kait kept whispering backing away when Gibbs came storming over.
End Flashback
"Kate, are you okay?" Abby asked looking at her funny.
"Yeah Abby I'm fine." Kate replied giving Abby a weak smile.
"You were kidnapped by a psychopath, Kate, you're not okay." Abby cried.
"Why is everyone saying that? He's not psycho he's Mossad, Abby! Why can't any of you understand that?" Kate was yelling by now and her eyes were filled with tears.
"Caitlyn, do you have Stockholm Syndrome?" Ducky asked walking in after hearing the yelling.
"No, Ducky, I don't have Stockholm Syndrome. I met Ari's daughter, nephew, and niece. He was gentle with them, kind, he cared what they said and did that day."
"Just because he was kind with his family doesn't mean he's kind with anyone outside his family. You should know this Caitlyn." Ducky said looking at Gibbs as he came in.
"What happened, Boss?" McGee asked.
"I shot him like he shot Gerald." Gibbs said in his no-nonsense voice.
"You've all got the week off." Director Morrow called down from the catwalk.
"In that case I'm going home and sleeping for a week." Tony said grabbing his things and leaving.
"Mother will certainly be wondering where I am." Ducky also said leaving.
"Come on, Timmy." Abby said slipping her hand through his elbow and leading him to the elevators. Gibbs watched everyone leave and as they disappeared from sight he turned to Kate his eyes cold.
"What were you thinking?" Gibbs soft his tone soft but ice cold.
"I told you what happened, Gibbs, and if you don't need anything else I'm going home as well." Kate replied her voice equally soft and cold.
