So sorry for the late update! My summer has been crazy with soccer workouts and Driver's Ed. I missed writing! Please enjoy! This chapter is interesting!

Kate entered the camp showers and crinkled her nose in disgust. They were dirty and smelled awful, not to mention the bugs and that the doors were curtains so they didn't lock. There wasn't much of a point to shower because of how gross it was… She peered inside one of the curtains but it was littered with empty soap bottles and a loan sock. She moved onto the next one which was considerably better and pulled the curtain firmly shut behind her. Kate hung up her clothes so they wouldn't get wet and set her soap in the shower before stripping off her clothes, careful not to let them touch the ground or get wet. She turned on the shower and stood under it but gasped because of how cold it was. She moved out of the water and waited for it to heat up. It did, but only by a few degrees.

Five minutes later she hears the door open. She had been the only one in the bathroom.

"Kate? You in this one?" She sees her curtain move as it is knocked on and his bare feet underneath it.

"Tony!" This is a women's bathroom, and I really don't think you are one…"

"Kate! Let me in, please! There are other women coming."

"You're joking."

"I'm gonna come in if you don't let me in." He threatened.

"Tony!" Kate got out of the shower and grabbed a towel. She heard voices and then Tony barged in. Tony DiNozzo. She just stood there and looked up at him, water dripping down her face. "What the hell!" she whispered.

"We need to talk. I just saw two suspicious guys walk into the men's room, and then I heard muffled screams."

"You better not be lying or I will castrate you! Go back to Gibbs and tell him. I'll be right there."

"No." Kate scowled and glared.

"Tony." She said warningly.

"There are other women in here and I want to shower and there is no way I'm going in the men's room and I'm not leaving you alone." He said extremely quickly.

"Well how is this going to work?"

"Ill shut my eyes and then you will do the same." She laughed at the statement. The door opened and the women left.

"No way."

"You don't trust me? I'm dead serious!" she could tell by his face that he was indeed serious. For once.

"Fine." She said sharply. She took his towel from him. "Turn around and sit." She ordered. He did and she tied the towel around his head, covering his eyes. "If your head turns this way, so help me…"

"I won't look!" He sounded sincere so Kate reluctantly turned around and put her towel on a hook. She shampooed her hair and soaped her body all at once and rinsed off. It had to have been a minute shower. She stepped out and got her towel. Luckily Tony hadn't moved. Then they heard the door open again, but the voices coming in were men's voices.

"Shit." Tony said as he turned around and pulled the towel off his face. Kate was shocked, and glad she had a towel on. He walked up to her. "That's them." He whispered.

The steps came closer. Tony's face became serious and cold. "Secure that towel so you don't have to hold it up. I have a plan, just go with it. I'm serious." He whispered, this time even softer. This has to be the first time she has even seen him like this and it scared her. But she did as she was told. Then he pulled off his shirt to reveal a very well tony body. Kate tried to keep from blushing.

Of all the things to think about right now.

They heard the curtain next to them get thrown open. Tony stepped closer to her and gently forced her against the wall. He looked into her eyes, almost looking for permission. She knew what was happening and gave a small nod as he closed the gap between them.

Kate was shocked but quickly responded and circled her arms around her neck. They broke apart and he looked in her eyes again. The steps neared so he leaned in again. Then he felt her towel start to slip so he wrapped his arms around her to hold it up. The curtain was yanked open by two men in their mid 40's. They were defiantly suspicious looking. Kate saw one slip his hand to his back pocket, probably hiding a knife.

"Ummm. Excuse you." Tony said. He kept his arms around Kate because her towel would fall otherwise but she moved her left hand to his bicep while her right hand clutched his shoulder. How was he so calm? She was terrified and shocked. She could hardly remember the kiss, which was awkward. She wanted to smack Tony but at the same time he was saving her.

"Sorry, we were looking for his umm, dog." Said the shorter one as they quickly turned and left, basically slamming the door on their way out.

Tony looked down at Kate. She looked so small and scared. She loosened her grip and went to wipe her face. Her hand was trembling so badly. She was about to burst into tears. Tony pulled the curtain closed again with one hand and sat on the little bench, holding Kate on his knees. She was so tense and he felt so awkward touching her, especially since she was only in a towel, and one he was holding up. But he knew she needed someone right now.

He pulled her head to his chest and she let loose. She cried onto his bare chest while he stroked her back. She knew it felt wrong but she needed someone and Tony was there. He had just saved her life with… the kiss…

Her crying subsided and she just sat on his lap. "Sorry Kate." He said gently.

"You saved us Tony." She said looking up.

"Yeah. I do that. But hey, I get you sitting on my lap in a towel." He grinned. The only Tony was back.

"DiNozzo…" she hissed; he stopped stroking her back. "Let's not tell Gibbs about this part, or the kiss, even though it was for cover."

"Sure, but was it just for cover?" he said, waggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Yes!" He still hadn't let go of her. "Ehh, Tony?" she said, trying to pull away?

He stood up with her, still holding her close to him. "Your towel is going to fall off…" he said.

Kate blushed. He was being sweet, the normal Tony would never hold her towel up, but then again, she had threatened him… "Right. Thanks." She held it up and Tony closed his eyes and turned around without her having to ask. She quickly dried and pulled on her shorts and t-shirt. "Alright Tony, I'm going to go out and brush my hair and stuff where the mirror is while you shower. She gathered her things and left.

Tony showered as fast as he could but somehow it wasn't as fast as Kate had been. Luckily there was no one in the bathroom so Tony exited the shower stall. Kate was leaning against the wall.

"Let's go find Gibbs." She said. "Tony? What are our stories, since we are under cover?"

"I don't know, but I know Abby made them… Gibbs will give them to us soon though. And we should hurry; our half hour was up about 15 minutes ago. "

They hurried back to find an unhappy Gibbs and a nervous McGee waiting impatiently at the campsite.

"DiNozzo, Todd!" He barked. Even though it was almost a whisper, it still had the same intensity his orders in the bullpen. "Where have you been?" He eyed them suspiciously.

"Well boss…" Tony began. "We have identified some suspects."

Hope you liked it! I love review too! Hope TATE fans are liking the tension and there is more to come. REVIEW!
