I am feeling bad about myself, since I strongly disliked Kate and was happy when she died, now I love her. Same with Jenny, I didn't like her and was sort of glad when she died, now I love her. Since I was missing Kate, I was very happy when I went to see Yes Man and noticed Sasha Alexander and Rocky Carroll are in it. I recommend seeing it! Anyway, review!
Gibbs leaned down in front of his two agents as they slept in the plane. Tony's arms were wrapped around Kate and her head was resting on his chest. Gibbs brought his hand up and head-slapped Tony. Tony jumping awake woke Kate, who fell out of her seat and into the aisle.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Gibbs asked. But before the two could respond, Gibbs had left the plane.
"I guess we're here." Kate said as she grabbed her bag from the floor. Tony placed his hand on the small of her back as they stepped out onto the steps that led off the plane. Jenny was walking away already, with Gibbs a few feet behind her.
"Welcome to Paris, Katie." Tony smiled.
--
"Gibbs, I am not sleeping in the same bed as Tony!" Kate said as she stormed into the hotel room Gibbs and Jenny were staying in. She stopped arguing when she noticed they only had one bed as well.
"The whole hotel has one bed in each room, Agent Todd. Unless you personally would like to pay for another room for just you, I recommend you suck it up." Gibbs ordered.
Before Kate was out the door, Gibbs' voice made her stop, "You may want to buy some anti-bacterial wipes and wear gloves. Just in case."
--
Jenny threw her bags on the chair in the corner, "You're sleeping,"
"On the floor, I know, Jen." Gibbs finished for her as he took a pillow from the bed.
"I was going to say out in the car, but that works too." Jenny retorted as she grabbed her purse and jacket and headed towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Gibbs asked as he headed after her.
"Places and you are not coming with me. Agent Todd is."
--
Kate slipped her jacket on and holstered her gun as she left the hotel room with the Director. They had walked around the streets for about five minutes in silence.
"Director…can I ask you a question? A, a personal question?" Kate asked as they headed into a park.
"Depends on the question, Agent Todd." Jenny looked over and studied Kate's face.
"What happened between you and Gibbs?" Kate asked as she joined the Director on a bench.
"You didn't hear the story during the plane ride earlier?" Jenny asked, surprised.
"Tony heard more of it. But I want to know what really happened. I mean, if it isn't too personal."
"I guess I should clear the air on what really happened before DiNozzo spreads rumors around."
"It would probably help, Director." Kate smiled.
"Well…I don't know where to start. I was on Gibbs' team. We were assigned to go undercover together in Europe to infiltrate a spy ring. We had months on end where we wouldn't do a thing. One thing led to another and we ended up having sex, a lot. Things got serious, but I left."
"What went wrong?" Kate looked up at the sun.
"He didn't fit in with my five-point plan. I felt really guilty every day after I left. I, I was planning on apologizing whenever I saw him next, but that just so happened that next time I saw him, he was below me in ranking. It was and still is against the rules."
"You're the director, isn't it your choice who you date?" Kate asked as the pair stood and walked back towards the hotel.
"SecNav chooses who I date, it is against the agency rules to date an agent, especially for the director."
"I know this isn't my place, but I see the looks you two give each other. If I were in your place, I wouldn't let anything come in between me and who I choose to see." Kate smiled at Jenny as she entered her hotel room.
Jenny stood in the hall and thought about what Kate had said. She hadn't really talked to Kate much, but she had some damn good advice.
--
Kate sat on the bed and stared out the window after her talk with the Director. Tony came and sat down beside her, "Something happen with the Director?"
"I don't even know what to think of her anymore." Kate stood up and started pacing.
"Do explain." Tony leaned back against the backboard of the bed.
"She and Gibbs worked together, obviously, and they went undercover in Europe together. They had sex."
"I knew it!" Tony interrupted.
"Not the point DiNozzo! She just up and left one day because he didn't fit in with what she wanted for herself. Then instead of listening to her heart, she listened to the rules. Now she is unhappy."
"Well, why don't you let her figure it out? It is her problem, after all."
"Tony! Do you really want Gibbs to be unhappy this whole trip, and possibly the rest of our lives?" Kate stared at him.
"Ooh, you're right. How about we think of solutions as we take a walk down to the coast to watch the sunset?"
--
Jenny entered the hotel room, surprised to see Gibbs lying on the floor, asleep.
"Okay…" Jenny whispered as she stepped around him and into the bathroom to shower.
When she came out half an hour later, Gibbs was gone. "Damn it, Gibbs. Some security detail you are."
"Thought that was Kate and Tony's job, Director?" Gibbs questioned as he came in through the door with two cups of coffee from the coffee shop they had visited everyday when they were undercover.
"They aren't staying in the hotel room with me, now are they?" Jenny shot back as she took a cup from him.
"You want them to? Because that can be arranged." Gibbs sat on the bed and sipped his coffee.
"That isn't what I meant, Jethro."
"About earlier," Gibbs set his coffee on the nightstand.
"Don't start, Special Agent Gibbs. It will not end in your favor, I guarantee." Jenny placed her hands on her hips.
"Hey, Director, you think Jen could talk with me for awhile, and not the Director?" Gibbs stood and stared into her eyes.
"I am one person, Gibbs. Not two."
"The Director part of you builds up walls, kisses ass, and doesn't let anyone in. Jen on the other hand, is fun, carefree, and she lets people in. Come on, let Jen talk this over with me, please?"
"Jethro…I have fought myself on this so many times over the last few years, you saying please isn't going to change me decision. Sorry." Jenny turned to go back to the bathroom, but Gibbs grabbed her elbow.
"Don't apologize,"
"I know your damn rules, Gibbs! Now let go of me before I have Agent DiNozzo arrest you!"
Gibbs stared after Jenny as she left the hotel room.
--
Kate walked in sync with Tony along the water. Her pants were rolled up to her knees, and Tony was getting his pants wet.
"What are we going to do about Gibbs?" Kate turned her face up towards Tony.
"That's his problem." Tony grinned back.
"DiNozzo!"
"Let's give them a day to figure it out themselves, if they don't, then we will step in, okay, Kate?"
"Why didn't you tell me that in the hotel room, Tony?"
"I wanted to do this." Tony bent over, and Kate stopped walking and glared down at him.
"What are you doing?" Kate yelped as Tony slipped an arm under her legs and another around her waist. Then he started jogging into the waves.
"Tony! What the hell are you doing, DiNozzo?!" Kate shrieked. Tony just laughed as he fought off Kate's attempts to hit him.
"You aren't being very nice, Kate!"
"Me!? DiNozzo quit it!"
"Okay, you told me to." Tony stopped walking and sat down in the ocean with Kate still in his arms. The waves knocked them both backwards. As she resurfaced, Kate contemplated getting mad, but she decided against it and instead laughed as she held Tony's head underwater.
--
Jenny sat on the stonewall bordering the beach and watched Tony carry Kate out into the water. When Kate held Tony's head under, she laughed, causing a few people to stare at her oddly. When Tony finally helped Kate out of the water, Jenny quickly stood up and took the shortcut back to the hotel.
I will not confront Gibbs tonight, or tomorrow morning. Maybe after the conference, unless he says anything before then. God, why do I always screw things up in my love life? Jenny was too busy thinking to notice Tony and Kate following her.
Sorry for the lack of Jibbs, but you're welcome in advance for the Tate! Review! And may I say, I was shocked at how many reviews I got, keep it up!
