Prologue
She knew exactly what she was doing.
It was only a few hours until morning.
The security guard had been sick, and it hadn't been hard to switch out the security tapes. And as for getting to the evidence garage printer- that was not difficult at all.
She knew that it would be three more hours until Gibbs arrived at the Navy Yard, and walked into the bullpen in NCIS Headquarters. That was not hard to remember.
In fact, she still had time. She looked around at the desks. Gibbs' desk.
Neat, tidy, stoic- that is, if a desk could be stoic- which perfectly summed up Agent Gibbs. The desk across from his-
Special Agent Timothy McGee's desk. Clean, covered in high-tech toys and notes from their last case. He probably still needed to file the case report as a matter of fact. Reflecting the high-tech, incredibly smart man who sat there.
Next to McGee's desk, was the desk that she knew held everything from Get Some Magazine to furry handcuffs. Which in reality, perfectly summed up Special Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo. Playboy extraordinaire. But she knew he would be the one to read the note first- if not Gibbs.
And last but not least, across from DiNozzo's desk, was the desk of interest. It had sat empty for several months before she had come to fill it. The desk was clean, only a few personal items. That desk held little surprises. Innocent and clean. Much like Special Agent Caitlin "Kate" Todd. The owner of the desk, and the subject of the note.
She assumed that Gibbs would be sure to read the note as soon as he came in, thinking it would be a note pointing them towards a dead Marine, or a Petty Officer. The Major Case Response Team (MCRT) was always looking for new cases, even if their methods of solving the aforementioned cases was unorthodox.
She dropped the note onto the desk, hoping to find exactly the Intel she was looking for by dropping it there.
Gibbs would find it, and surely question Agent Todd.
She smirked as she walked away, the note still sitting innocently on Gibbs' desk.
But what did the note say?
Take Caitlin to the next level.
