For ncisdrabble challenge #3 angst.
Kate sits on the edge of her bed, trying desperately not to think about the events of that afternoon.
How cold it was in the freezer.
How sick she'd felt seeing Gerald's injury.
The terror that filled her when she heard the shot and thought Gibbs was dead.
Kate hugs herself, trying to stop the shaking. She remembers Ari grabbing her, holding her close, and knowing he found her attractive.
She's holding the phone but can't recall picking it up. With trembling fingers, she dials.
"Gibbs."
She hangs up.
The phone rings. Gibbs.
"Katie, are you okay?"
No, she thinks.
