Okay, a long time later, and I finally have another chapter for you guys! Sorry it took so long, real life got in the way, but I'm ba-ack! And maybe, just maybe, the mystery of Kate's "name" will be revealed…along with someone else's…muahahaha.

A big thank you to all the reviewers of the previous three chapters! Y'all rock!

Chapter 3 – Sasha

They walked back down the hallway, Tony avoiding Dr. Pitt's puzzled glances at him. Gibbs knocked softly on Kate's door.

"Come in," they heard Kate call. Tony walked into the room, followed by Gibbs. Tony opened his mouth to say something, when there was another knock at the door. Abby poked her head into the door, before pushing it open wider.

"Oh, thank God you're okay," Abby hugged Kate. Kate hugged her back, but there was a slightly confused expression on her face.

"Kate, you remember Abby and McGee?" Tony asked. Kate nodded uncertainly.

"I remember Abby, but…" She looked at McGee again, then shook her head.

"Well, it's a start." Tony grinned devilishly at McGee. "Don't take it too hard, Probie. I'm sure she'll remember you…eventually."

"Tony?" Kate said softly. Everyone watched her expectantly.

"Yeah, Kate?" She shot a familiar glare at her former partner.

"Shut up."

Abby and McGee grinned, and even the corners of Gibbs' mouth twitched.

"I remember somebody under my desk," Kate said suddenly. McGee blushed.

"Uh, yeah, that was me." The others laughed.

"Could I have a couple minutes with Kate?" Abby shot a pointed look at Gibbs, who nodded. Both women glared at Tony, who was still smirking from Kate's memory of McGee.

"Not like that, Dinozzo!" they said simultaneously. Everyone filed out of the room, leaving Kate and Abby alone. Gibbs shut the door behind him.

"Kate." Abby said, sitting down on the edge of the bed. "How much do you actually remember?"


Kate refused to look at Abby.

"Kate." Abby said insistently.

"Some of it," Kate finally said quietly. "I remember being on the rooftop, getting shot by Ari, then waking up in the hospital. Nothing about my job before that, though, and nothing after it. But for some reason I remember you," she frowned.

"Yeah, I have that effect on people." Abby grinned. Kate smiled, looking truly happy for the first time since waking up.

"This…Tony doesn't sound like a very mature person." Sasha commented. A smile of remembrance crossed Anthony's face.

"He wasn't, that's for sure."

"Were you friends with him?" Anthony closed the notebook, making sure to replace the faded ribbon in the spot they had stopped reading.

"You could say that. I knew him very well." Sasha looked puzzled.

"Knew? What happened?" He shrugged slowly.

"He had to grow up sometime." There was a pause, then Sasha leaned forward again.

"Tell me a story about Tony." He looked at her, smiling at him, waiting. Anthony nodded.

"All right. What would you like to hear?"

"Hmm," Sasha said thoughtfully. "How about one of the stories where Tony has some sort of immature moment?" Anthony couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, there were a lot of those." He sat back in his chair and thought for a moment. "Okay. I've got one. This was around…two months after Kate joined NCIS."

"Morning, everybody!" Tony said cheerfully as he walked out of the elevator into the squad room.

"Morning," Kate replied slowly. "Why are you in such a good mood?" She paused. "Wait. I don't want to know."

"I found out something very interesting last night," he grinned suggestively.

"I'm not listening, Tony." Kate sat down and started to go through the stack of files on her desk.

"Something about a certain co-worker of mine…something interesting, even intriguing." Tony smirked, but it quickly turned into a frightened expression as Kate quickly stood up and went around his desk to glare down at him.

"Ooh, big word, Tony," Kate retorted. "Would you just tell me already?"

Tony faked offense.

"Okay, okay. What is the one thing that women keep a mystery?"

"You already know how old I am," she rolled her eyes, sighing exasperatedly.

"Fine. The second thing that women keep a mystery, for some strange reason, except for celebs like Sarah Michelle Gellar, or Neil Patrick Harris?"

Kate leaned forward so she was face to face with Tony.

"How did you find that? What did you do, go through my personnel file?" Kate demanded.

"He went through your personnel file." Gibbs said as he walked by, coffee in hand as usual.

"It got faxed over." Kate shot a deathly glare at Tony, who attempted to look innocent, but failed miserably.

"What's that supposed to mean, Tony? And what gives you the right to read my personal, confidential file?" She walked forward, causing Tony to quickly take a step backwards.

"Well, as senior field agent, Kate, it's my job to make sure everyone who joins the team isn't, you know, a psycho. Or a Celine Dion fan. Still not sure which is scarier."

"No, Tony, your job is to investigate crimes in the Navy," Kate glared at Tony again.

"Relax, Katie. I think you have a perfectly fine middle name. Caitlin…Sasha…Todd. It suits you." Tony spread his hands out like the name was on a marquee at a movie theatre. "It's…interesting, to say the least. What's the origin of it?"

"Greek, actually. I'll have you know my mother picked it out. My dad wanted it to be…" she paused, then shook her head. "Never mind."

"What?" Tony insisted. "What was it?"

"Forget it, Tony. I don't know you well enough to reveal that piece of information about me. I just started working here, and already you know too much."

"Oh, come on, Kate!" Tony was really curious now. "We're teammates now. We tell each other everything! Besides, it can't be any worse than Sasha."

Before Kate could reply to the insult, Gibbs hung up the phone, took his gun and holster out of a desk drawer, and grabbed his coffee cup off his desk.

"Tony, gas the truck. Kate, grab your gear." Tony didn't move. Gibbs strode past Tony's desk, hitting him upside the head.

"Dinozzo, let's go, before I tell Kate your middle name." Tony's eyes widened, then he quickly took the car keys.

"Where we going, boss?"

"Norfolk. Petty officer was assaulted in her home." Gibbs kept walking towards the elevators, leaving Tony and Kate to catch up.

"Oh, don't worry, Gibbs, I already know Tony's middle name," Kate smirked. Tony's eyes grew even bigger.

"How'd you find that out?" he snapped, his good mood instantly disappearing.

"I have my sources." Kate grinned, enjoying watching Tony squirm uncomfortably. "Oh, relax, Tony, I'm sure Gibbs already knows what your middle name is."

"A family secret I was going to take with me to the grave," Tony sighed. "My mother named me after the lead male character of her favorite book."

"I think that's sweet," Kate smiled. "I loved reading Anne of Green Gables as a child." The elevator stopped, the doors sliding open to let Gibbs, Tony and Kate out. Kate smirked as she walked out to the parking lot. "Anthony Gilbert Dinozzo. Fitting, except for the fact that Gilbert was way nicer than you'll ever be."

"Yeah, but he did tease Anne to show his affection for her. Kinda like you two." Gibbs added as he walked around them to get to the driver's side of the truck. Tony and Kate just stared after him.

"Since when does Gibbs read books like Anne of Green Gables?" Tony wondered out loud, exchanging a look with Kate.

"Must be an ex wives thing." They hurried to get into the truck, trying not to think about Gibbs' comment about their similarities to the teasing and banter of Anne and Gilbert.

Okay, well, that's it for now. (snicker) Anthony Gilbert Dinozzo. Classic. Revieeeeeeeew!
