This is just a short little piece that came to me after watching Dead Man Talking last night. I'm in Australia so that is why we're just seeing that episode. Now okay this piece is very, very pro Tony as the title suggests but I can't help myself so cyber shoot me if you like. I showed it to a friend of mine who also watches NCIS and was told that yes I should share it for better or worse. So here goes nothing!!
Okay I deleted the original because after sleeping on it something didn't strike me as right. So here goes again.

She had to do it, she just had to go and do it, didn't she. Oh yeah right there in the office in front of everyone. Gibbs, McGee, Abby she just had to go and say it and in such a snide manner as well.
Of course my reaction left a lot to be desired but God, not only was I nursing a headache that would have killed and elephant I was damn embarrassed by the events that had just unfolded. I mean it was something that Kate was never going to let me live down, kissing an incomplete sex change person, would that be the right term? Oh hell how could I have not known? I mean Amanda was technically a woman, a real woman from the waist up and she was so damn sexy and.... stop it Tony she was a he and you kissed him, ah her, no him, and Kate had to be so damn bitchy about it, the way she asked so sweetly and innocently what it was like to tongue it with a guy.
Okay I know my reaction didn't help the situation and now so many snappy retorts fill my head replies like gee Kate you have to ask me that question? Don't you know? But I just retreated like a startled rabbit muttering that I couldn't take it because while I'd been prepared for good natured ribbing that comment had hit way below the belt.
Tony, I hear her call my name and wish I didn't have to reply but she knows I'm here.
'What are you doing in here this is the men's room Kate.'
Tony come on we're going for Chinese.'
'No thanks,' I flush the toilet and exit the cubicle to face her. 'I've got a headache, being knocked half unconscious will do that to you and I think I'll have an early evening.'
'Tony I,'
I wave whatever she's about to say off. 'No it's fine Kate,' I walk past her. 'I over reacted out there and besides it was a natural question because the only way you're going find out things is to ask I guess. Doesn't say much about Dwayne and your past dates hey.'
I know without seeing her face that she's shocked. 'That is low DiNozzo' Somehow I expected far better then that from her by way of reply.
'Yeah Kate 'I pause but don't look back at her. 'It was wasn't it?' I'm not referring to my comment. It was delayed response and not my best effort but Kate knows exactly what I mean by it being low. Then I continue my way to the bullpen not proud of myself at all, however I can't stop the small smile touches the corner of lips. Not proud of myself? Well maybe just a little.
