Unexpected

Kate never expected the answer that was staring her straight in the face.

'Damn you Dinozzo' she thought as she threw the test in the trash and left the Ladies room. She hadn't been feeling well lately and after being sick in autopsy, something that had never happened to her, she decided with some persuasion from her sister to take the stupid test and when she did it only proved her sister knew best and to Kate that there were always consequences when being in a relationship, if you could call it that, with Tony Dinozzo.

"You don't look so good," Tony said as she came back in and sat at her desk,

'If it wasn't for you' Kate thought 'I wouldn't look like this,' but instead she gave Tony a glare,

"I'm fine," she lied as he got back to his work.

Tony wasn't convinced, but didn't wasn't to press the subject in case Kate closed up like she usually did when personal questions were asked.

A couple of minutes later, Tony watched Kate; yet again disappear, most probably to the 'head', for about the fourth time that morning.

Tony knew something was up but decided that he wasn't going to tell Gibbs or Abby but would keep it to himself at least until Kate tells him, but why wouldn't she? She was his partner and everyday trusted him with her life and above that they were secretly dating so why wouldn't she trust him with this? Tony pondered this thought until Kate came back but didn't say anything as she looked ready to shoot him, as she drank a bottle of water.

Tony was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by a rampaging Gibbs.

"Tony, Kate we've got a lead," was all he said while heading towards the elevator. The two agents grabbed their weapons and jogged to join Gibbs in the elevator.

The journey was relatively quiet, the radio had been on at the start but Tony do be in an awfully good mood and decided to sing along to almost every song driving Gibbs nuts so with a swift hit over the head Tony shut up and the radio was turned off creating silence. As they got to a small town near Charlottesville in the middle of Virginia the atmosphere changed.

The case they were investigating was Petty Officer Leann Nolan. Their first suspect was the husband but he was away on business when the murder happened two days ago. Her CO was also out of the picture as he was with his wife and now after a lot of dead ends there final suspect led into the countryside to a run down, creepy cottage where Petty Officer Nolan's sister was supposed to be staying.

As they pulled up down the street Kate got a feeling in the pit of her stomach and it wasn't butterflies.

"Gibbs, it looks abandoned she probably isn't here," Kate complained.

Gibbs stopped dead in his tracks and spun around to face Kate.

"No we cannot just go Agent Todd! Our soldiers in Iraq can't just go all because they're getting second thoughts," Gibbs said raising his voice, "I'm here to do my job and Agent Todd you should do yours!"

Kate stood still Gibbs had always told her to trust her gut but know she could trust her gut and not go in and get fired or go in and something happens. Tony decided it for her,

"Kate, come on, I've got your back," he whispered to her placing his hand on her lower back guiding her towards the old cottage.

"Ms. Nolan?" Gibbs shouted knocking on the door with one hand his gun in the other, "Ms. Nolan...NCIS...open up!"

No answer.

Tony and Kate took to the wall at the left hand side of the door while Gibbs the right. Tony nodded at Gibbs, he was ready, Kate however, wasn't but she still nodded.

Gibbs counted on his fingers...1...2...3

Tony kicked in the door while Gibbs like a flash of lightening was sweeping the small room which resembled a lounge. The trio ventured into the room guns ready to fire at anything unexpected.

"Clear!" shouted Gibbs

"Clear!" shouted Tony

They waited but Kate never answered...
