I don't own any of NCIS!
After the case was over, Tony went to find out about the President's men.
"Hey, Katie, what are the other men like?"
"The President's other guards will tell you. I have to go." That was the last time Tony talked to Kate while he worked on this case. She started to ignore that he was around. She would leave notes and things if she needed to talk to him or if he needed her but that was it.
Tony didn't have to stay with the President long, but his time there, he made many new friends. Including Agent Gibbs, President Jim, and all of the President's Guards and other men.
The man that was behind the attacks on Jimmy's men was found and arrested.
"Thanks Tony for all you have done. You did great for me and for your country."
"Thank you, Jim."
"No, thank you. Are you going to disappear like all of you CIA people do?"
"Probably, why?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to contact you sometimes. I guess not."
"Hey, I'll contact you."
"K, I'll miss having you around."
"Why?"
"You are really nice and cool."
"Ok, my flight leaves now. Bye." Tony ran towards the helicopter that landed.
"Hey Tony?" a woman yelled from behind him.
"What do you want Kate?"
"A second chance at a friendship."
"I have to go Kate. I can't…" Tony was interrupted by Kate's lips. They kissed for about twenty seconds before Tony pulled away.
"Kate, I have to go. I'll be in touch." Tony ran the rest of the way to the helicopter and jumped in. He watched as his new made friend and Kate, a woman he knew he was falling for, grew smaller and finally disappeared.
Two years later, Tony was called Thomas Douglas and is President Johnson's Secretary of Defense. Jim knew who he really was but couldn't tell anyone. Tom was still in contact with the CIA and with his fellow government worker, Gibbs but he lost contact with Kate.
"You must not ever be Tony DiNozzo until formally told. This means you can't see Kate," Tom's head leader explained. This depressed Tom because he was in love with her and wanted to see her again.
Tom also didn't look quite he same. His face has gone through plastic surgery after he was attacked by a mad citizen, in Russia. He sustained it on his left cheek.
Tom walked out of a meeting and into his office. Sitting at his guest chair was his CIA boss.
"Tom, I need you to close the door. Thank you, now to business. I need you to play Tony and go to NCIS. You will be made and agent and I need you to spy or figure out Kate and Ziva. You don't need to become romantic with either but it makes it easier.
I know you were romantic with Kate but you are a spy. I can't loose that from you. At least not yet."
"How long Josh? How long before I can be me forever and not someone else?"
"After I say you are done. You are almost there."
"Good."
Tony walked into NCIS and up to Gibbs' floor. Once he arrived, he was met by Kate; two mystery people, and man and a woman; Gibbs and the person that must be Director Shepard.
"Welcome to NCIS, Mr. DiN…"
"Miss Shepard, he has been here before on official CIA business and he has worked with us too." Kate ran to him and pulled him towards a desk. On it was all the stuff he left behind with Jim, a picture of Tony in Australia, a baseball signed by Alex Rodriquez, the fake gun used in the Bourne trilogy, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets movie.
"Thanks Kate."
"Thank Jim, I heard…"
"Hey Tony, I'm Abby, I work in the lab. This is McGee, he is my assistant and he works up here. Over there is…"
"Ziva!" Tony sat down at his desk and tried to access his CIA site but he wasn't allowed to.
"How did you know it was Ziva?" Abby asked.
"I was informed earlier."
"Oh, ok."
Tony walked to his 'apartment' and went in.
"You need to find the dirt on Ziva. Kate is clean and please just leave her alone. Pull it all out on Ziva. We need to know about the terrorist in her family. Who is he and where is he?"
"But Kate?"
"She isn't a target and…"
"I love her, Josh."
"Tony, you need to follow orders. You belong to the CIA still. You have to do as we say."
"I'll loose her, Josh. After I am through with Ziva, I will have lost Kate."
"What would happen if I was your boss and I just ordered you to become romantic with Ziva? What would Beth do, Josh? She would leave you and you would never see her again. Do you want that?"
"It's not the same."
"Darn right it's the same! Kate is to me what Beth is to you. You are just engaged. I haven't been able to yet. Let me think why? Oh right, my boss and friend hasn't found someone with connections to do this case and I have not been able to have a free moment."
"I'm sorry Tony, but there is nothing I can do. My boss ordered me to tell you. I don't have the authority to make decisions. I'm truly sorry."
"No you're not and darn right you do have the authority. Give it to one of your other agents."
"Tony, you are my only agent. I didn't want to tell you but I'm retiring after you finish this job. You could be either let go or promoted."
"Josh, why?"
"I'm being forced because the big boss doesn't want me to be a married agent and I'm close with you, sorry."
"Hey, that's ok, I'll probably retire too."
"You are too young to. You will probably get my job or be moved to another branch."
