NCIS:
EVERYONE'S THOUGHTS OF KATE AND KATE'S THOUGHTS...
DISCLAIMER:
NCIS and characters do not belong to me.
SUMMARY:
Chapters will be told from Rachel and Gibbs team members. As well as Kate's replies to each of them from beyond the grave.
CHAPTER 4: I DIDN'T KNOW YOU, ZIVA...
KATE'S P.O.V.
Ziva,
I never knew you...
I know it was hard on you when you killed you half-brother.
I know there was a point when you trusted him...
Only to have your trust betrayed in the end.
No matter what happened he was still your family and I cannot begin to imagine the pain you felt.
However, I am also glad you were also able to save, Gibbs. The team just lost me and to lose, Gibbs so soon after my death...
It would have destroyed them further.
As you have learned by now when I began to work with the team...
You did not only join NCIS or a part of Gibbs team...you joined a FAMILY!
It took time, but I am glad they finally accepted you and were able to move on after my death.
I know Tony is who he is...
The juvenile of the team most of the time.
I think that's just his way of protecting himself and since my death I have been watching over the team.
I have seen you two around each other...I know that you love him and he seems to feel the same about you, but at the same time...
You have both been badly burned in the past. Trust is hard, but you need to take a chance and tell him how you feel.
Think of Gibbs rules...think of:
Rule 8: Never take anything/anyone for granted.
Abby was my best friend and like a sister. She loves Tim and years ago when he asked her for a commitment...
She thought he was being insecure. In truth, Abby was afraid of Tim hurting her and that fear drove her to break up with him.
As I just said though, Abby loves Tim and I know you've seen the connection that they share.
Maybe in time she will be able to get over that fear.
Tim - I'm sure has become like a brother to you...fun to pick on, but he is also a wonderful friend. He loves Abby, but is afraid of telling her, because she broke up with him and he is afraid she will reject him again.
Ducky - Has great stories that sometimes have a meaning. He is a great man himself and is like a grandfather.
Gibbs - What to tell you about him? Well, you have learned more about him in the past seven years and probably know him better then I did. He may have his head slaps, but you know he is a great boss and loves his team like a family.
I resigned from the Secret Service and he told me, he 'Wouldn't give me a chance to resign from NCIS.'
You joined that family. I know you came into their lives at a difficult time, but I am glad you stayed.
