'Breath Kate breath.' I told myself as I take the elevator to the director's office. Getting off on the top floor I walked into the office and met Cynthia at the desk. "Hey Kate the director and the rest of your team is waiting on you. You can go right in." She tells me. I took a deep breath before knocking.
"Come in." The director tells me. I open the door to find Gibbs, McGee and Tony glaring at Ari while Abby and Ducky looked rather upset.
"You're late to the party Kate." Abby tells me.
"I had a hard time deciding if I should take leave or not." I told her and Tony grinned. Ari rolled his eyes. "Wonderful to see you again Caitlin." Ari said to me as if we were friends meeting on the street and not a federal agent and a mossad officer.
"I wish I could say the same." I replied grimly. He smirked.
"I'm not taking him on my team!" Gibbs tells the director. "You have to Gibbs it's a direct order."
"He was sent here to kill my agent for compromising Hamas ops!" He yelled. Ari wrinkled his face in disgust. Lucky for him I'm the only one that saw.
"I was not sent here to kill Caitlin." Ari said forcefully. "Jethro he is to be on your team and given the same amount of field work as everyone else, not always put on desk duty, oh and any "accidental" injuries that Agent Haswari happens to get you will be taking full responsibility for them." You could here the quotation marks in his voice as he said this.
"Now I have picked out Agent Todd to train him." "What? Why!" I demand.
"Well seeing as he'd most likely kill agent DiNozzo, Agent McGee is a junior, and Agent Gibbs is being uncooperative right now that leaves you."
Angrily Gibbs storms out and the whole team but Ari and me followed him. "Good luck with Gibbs." The director tells us. "Thanks." I say as I lead Ari to the Bullpen, when we walk out of his office Gibbs and the team are in the elevator and he is cussing about something and said something about Abby's lab.
Sighing I continued to lead Ari to the Bullpen. "This is the Bullpen and that is your desk." I point to an unoccupied space. "That is mine, Tony's, McGee's, and Gibbs. If you know what's good for you, you won't sit in his chair ever." I said playfully. He chuckled. "I'm pretty sure you know the morgue,the garage, the evidence locker, and Abby's lab." I tell him jokingly.
"You can get settled in at you desk if you want while I go see what Gibbs is yelling about thought I already have a good idea." I say as I head for the elevator. "Caitlin!" He called stopping me.
"Yes?" I ask sweetly.
"I wanted to tell you I am not here to harm you and that I am sorry for the kidnappings. Also I look forward to learning under you."
"So am I. Oh, and Ari don't apologize in front of Gibbs according to him it's a sigh of weakness, one of his rules I'll teach them to you latter." I smile at him and he smiles back as the elevator doors close.
Suddenly I thought of being kind to Ari for some reason I mean the team was probably going to treat him like trash do why don't I try and be kind to him? It couldn't hurt could it?
Still smiling when the elevator got off on Abby floor it quickly disappeared when I heard Gibbs yelling, and then saw the look on his face. Then my thoughts wondered back to Ari.
I mean even if Ari did kidnap me twice it couldn't hurt to try to be kind, he was going to be apart of this team anyway.
"Hi Abby." I greeted her. "Hey Kate." She replied.
"I came down to see what all the yelling was about though I have a pretty good idea." I said in Gibbs direction. He turned to me.
"That bastard didn't try anything did he?" He asked.
"No Gibbs." If I told him about being kind to Ari I don't think he'd take that well.
"He's getting settled down at his desk." I tell them all. RING RING! Gibbs phone went off. He stopped yelling about Ari for a minute to answer it.
"Dead marine. Kate get Ari." I nod and head for the elevators. I sigh and think of everything I had to teach him. But who knows maybe it could be fun. 'Yeah fun.' I think sarcastically to myself.
It had been a long day for the team. I had taught Ari most of Gibbs rules, how to sketch crime scenes, how to be observant and pay close attention to suspects. We had just finished the "Red Cell" case of some nut jobs that run around half naked and play with paintball guns that have a weird way of almost killing someone.
Smiling happily I sat down at my desk I thought of the smart ass comment I just told Tony a few minutes ago, making him look like an idiot in front of the team when he made a rude comment to me. Frowning he sat down at his desk and started typing and suddenly a grin on his face appeared.
This couldn't be good. Suddenly everyone's e-mail in the entire room when off. Quickly moving my mouse across the desk I gasped and snarled at what I saw snarled.
"Kate Todd Agent of the month." And below was there the wet tee-shirt picture of me. "Courtesy of Anthony DiNozzo."
Angrily I hiss and everyone has there eyes on me as I throw my badge in my desk and grab my backup gun before I storm out of there.
Slamming the door of my car I march up to my apartment and throw my things on the floor which is not something I usually do. Throwing open my closet I angrily search for it. Grinning when I retrieved my black bikini.
Looking out the window I thought of how cold it would be. Oh well, I was in the mod to do something stupid, something like jumping off a cliff in the forest area where some teenagers jumped off for fun.
Taking my close off I put it on and look at myself in the mirror. Beautiful. It looked wonderful on my body. Smiling I put a sexy black leather jacket on and take a scarf to tie it around my waist. Tonight was going to be fun, cold but fun.
Smiling like wild when I drove up to the dark cliff in the middle of the night. I was so exited I forgot about my cell phone in the car as I run up to the cliff. I hadn't noticed a black car drive up across the cliff and I hadn't noticed the people that recognized me.
Tacking off my jacket I untied to scarf and let it fall to the floor no in nothing but my bikini. 'God it is so cold.' I think as I start shivering and step near the cliff not wereing any shoes. Smiling again before I threw myself off the cliff. God it was so dangerous and so irresponsible but oh well I was upset.
The icy water hit me and all I could think of was cold, freezing, and ice. Because the water was all of those things.
I saw Caitlin take off a jacket and a scarf from her waist and let them fall and I saw the most gorgeous sight I've seen so far, she was wearing a black bikini in the middle of the night on a cliff!
Shaking her beautiful sight out of my head I think of how dangerous this was in weather like this in the dark! Of all the irresponsible and stupid things to do! She decides to pick jumping off a cliff in the middle of the freezing night in a bikini! I guess Agent DiNozzo really upset her.
Damn that Agent! I hated to see Caitlin upset. She looked like she was going to kill someone when she stormed out.
Gibbs gets out of the car with the others. Somehow we managed to cram Abby with us, and Agent McGee had got a trace on her cell phone.
Abby gasped. Agent DiNozzo and McGee stared, and Gibbs looked straight down furious like me. I couldn't help but feel concerned for her because I had feelings for her and if she didn't live... I didn't want to think of that when she did live I had to tell her how I feel.
Abby howled when Caitlin threw herself off a cliff. We all sighed in relief when she came up. I took off toward the beach underneath that she would climb onto when she got out of the water. Gibbs follows me and the rest of the team looks confused for a minute before taking off with us. Caitlin would get the biggest scolding of her life from her "father" by the looks of Gibbs's face.
So what do you guys think? Ari and Kate will start dating in the next chapter!
