A: Accidents happen.
"Gibbs I really don't know what this is going to achieve." Kate looked out the window as the country side whizzed by.
"Kate, he has a cabin out here so there's a very good chance he is using it as a hide out."
"Gibbs we have just gotten a possible sighting by the local sheriff 200 miles from here."
"We are still going to check it out." Gibbs watched as Kate's face contorted into a look of defeat and defiance.
Gibbs could help but give a small smile as a strand of hair fell across her face. Kate tried to blow it away but that only resulted in it falling back across her face. Clearly aggravated, she roughly pushed it behind her ear and continued to stare out the window.
An hour later Gibbs made a right turn into the suspects drive-way. It was about a 1/2mile drive from the road to the cabin.
"I think I can see the cabin Gibbs. It's to the right of the hill." Gibbs squinted to where Kate was pointing. It was starting to snow now and it was become increasingly difficult to see. Kate looked at him and couldn't help but laugh. Gibbs blushed and muttered something to himself before putting his foot down and taking off once more, in the direction of the cabin. They were within sight of the cabin when it went up in a huge explosion.
Gibbs instinctively hit the brakes, causing the car to stop hard. Both Kate and Gibbs were thrown forward; there seat belts kicking in causing them to be yanked back again.
Gibbs heard Kate moan and turned to look at her. She was rubbing her chest, pain showing in her eyes. Gibbs could see a small amount of blood on her fore-head.
'She must have hit it when we stopped.' Gibbs turned her head towards him and looked at the cut. I was only very small.
"You ok?" The amount of concern in his voice did not go unnoticed by Kate. Unable to speak she just nodded.
Gibbs dropped his hand down from her cheek to her hand and gave it a quick squeeze before attempting to drive the car. Nothing happened.
"Shit!" Gibbs yelled as he slammed his hands down on the steering wheel.
"What?"
"The car won't start." Gibbs ran his hand through his hair. It was starting to really snow heavy. "Wait here." Gibbs jumped out of the car and ran the remaining distance to the cabin. There was nothing left except a pile of wood.
"Someone got this place really good Gibbs." Gibbs turned to see Kate walking towards him.
"I can see that Kate. I thought I told you to stay in the car." Gibbs snapped irritably.
Kate shot him a disgusted 'do I look like a kid' look. "Gibbs its getting late the car wont start and the snow is getting heavier. I can see a motel just down the road. If we can make it to there then we can call Tony and get him to pick us up." Gibbs pulled out his mobile to find he had no service. Nodding he made his way back to the car and pulled out a bag and jumper from the boot.
"Come on." They started down the hill, but due to the snow they were going at an extremely slow pace. It was getting dark and Kate started to shiver, but was able to hide it form Gibbs. When they reached the end of the drive way Gibbs stopped and looked at her.
"It's to the left. It didn't look like it was to far away so we should be there before the sun is completely gone." Gibbs just nodded and kept walking. Kate was so annoyed at him. She had said this was a waste of time, that there would be nothing there. If they had been an hour earlier they would probably be dead right now, if they had been later maybe then maybe at least they would have a working car, not that any car would be able to drive in this snow.
Kate's head continued to throb as she walked. The cold was definitely not doing her cut any good.
They had been walking for quiet a while now and the motel was no where in sight. Kate's head was painfully sore and her legs felt like they were going to give way. Gibbs was still totally oblivious. When the pain got too much she collapsed beside a tree and threw up. Gibbs was at her side in an instant. He held her hair of her face with one hand and rubbed her back with the other.
"Kate what's wrong?" She had stopped now and Gibbs was holding her tight to his chest, fully aware of how much she was shivering.
"My head." Gibbs took the jumper he had grabbed from the boot and put it on her. "Hey, it can't be too far now, are you going to be ok to walk." Kate gave him a weak nod before attempting to haul herself up. She was unsteady on her feet and extremely grateful when Gibbs slipped his arm around her waist and helped her walk.
Soon after, they reached the motel. Entering the lobby, Gibbs slipped Kate into a chair and hit the bell.
"Can I help you?" Gibbs stared at the man that was behind the counter. He was a short middle aged man that was going bald and had what Gibbs believed to be a beer gut.
"We need to use a phone."
"You got a room?"
"No listen, our car has broken down and we need to get someone to come and pick us up, ok. So can we use a phone or not?!"
"All roads out of here have been blocked, so unless you're a local I don't think anyone's coming to get you."
Gibbs just stared at the man. "Fine, then we need 2 conjoining rooms." Gibbs was not in the mood for any nonsense. All he wanted was a bed to put Kate into. She hadn't said a word since she was sick and was now looking of into space. Gibbs saw the man look at Kate then himself then smile.
Typing something into his computer, he looked at Gibbs.
"We only have one room left and it's got a double bed." He said with a smirk.
"Just give me the keys to any god damn room!" Gibbs snarled at the man.
"Room 205. Down the hall, up the stairs and to your right."
"Fine. The key?" Gibbs held his hand out.
"You need to pay first."
"Well then maybe you could tell me how much it is going to be!" It was taking Gibbs a lot of self restraint to not strangle this man. He heard Kate chuckling in the background and smiled at the thought of this amusing her.
"$150 a night Mr?"
"Gibbs."
"And you have to fill out these forms too before I give you the key." The man waved a few forms around as he said it. Gibbs snatched the forms and a pen and went and sat next to Kate.
"Wow Gibbs, you really know how to bring out the best in people." Gibbs chucked as he completed the forms. Handing them to the guy he paid him the $150 dollars.
5minutes later Gibbs had Kate's hand in his and was leading her towards their room.
"Here we are." Gibbs let them in and watched as Kate sat down on the bed, holding her head. He walked into the bathroom and found a first aid kit. Coming back into the bedroom he cleaned the cut, applied antiseptic and gave her some asprin.
"It's not bad. You won't need stitches. Probably just a good nights sleep." Kate nodded as he continued. "In the bag I grabbed I have a spare change of clothes. Do you want the shirt?" Kate nodded again and gratefully accepted the dry clothes. Walking into the bathroom, she stripped out of her clothes and put on Gibbs's shirt.
Once Kate had shut the door Gibbs pulled off his clothes and slipped into a pair of track pants. Slipping into bed he felt his whole body relax.
Kate looked at herself in the mirror. Gibbs top hung loosely off her. She had nothing but his shirt and her undies on and the thought of laying next to him in only that scared the hell out of her. The man who she had been suppressing feelings for the last 2 years was laying out there wear probably little more than herself. Sighing she pulled her fingers through her hair attempting to make it look a little more presentable. Finally giving up she flicked the light off and made her way back out into the bedroom.
Gibbs was watching T.V, but when she returned he turned it off. Kate could feel his eyes on her as she walked around the bed to her side and climbed in.
"Night Gibbs."
"Night Kate." As Gibbs turned out the light, all he could think about was Kate lying next to him.
The next morning Gibbs woke up with a pressing feeling on his left. Sometime during the night Kate had curled up into his left side, arm draped around his waist and one of her legs wrapped around his.
Wrapping an arm around her and pulling her in close, Gibbs couldn't believe how great it felt to have Kate laying in his arms. He just laid there watching her.
Kate woke up a few minutes later. Gazing up she saw Gibbs staring down at her. Kate took in their current position and felt her face go red as she muttered a good morning.
Gibbs, unable to resist any longer, leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on Kate's lips. When Kate didn't respond he pulled back to look her in the eyes. He could see how shocked she was and instantly regretted it.
"Sorry." He muttered as he got up and made his way towards the bathroom.
Kate jumped out of bed and hurried after him. Ignoring the dizziness she was experiencing she grabbed Gibbs's arm and spun him around, pulling his lips down to hers. The kiss started out slow but soon became more heated as Gibbs pulled Kate flush against him.
Breaking apart for air, Gibbs looked down and saw Kate smiling up at him.
"Never say your sorry Agent Gibbs."
Gibbs smile. "Trust me, never again." Kate laughed as Gibbs pulled her into a strong embrace.
