The plane landed in Paris. Everybody rushed out of the plane. Tony and Kate were pulled with flow. Soon they got their luggage and Tony was a gentleman by taking Kate's things too.

'' Give me my things, I don't need you to carry those, '' Kate protested.

'' We are in Paris Kate. Relax, beside what kind of boyfriend doesn't carry bags ? '' Tony asked.

'' You are not my boyfriend, '' Kate said.

'' Sorry, Katie. We are here as boyfriend and girlfriend. And you don't have to like it all the time, but now I am carrying your things, and you are allowed to play loving girlfriend and do your thing, '' Tony explained.

'' Sorry, I guess you are right, I am just used with carrying my own things, '' Kate said.

'' Not with me, '' Tony smiled.

'' Wonder where they are waiting us ? '' Kate asked as they walked through the airport.

'' I don't know. Maybe outside, '' Tony guessed.

'' Maybe. Then we hear about this mission that made Gibbs mad, '' Kate said.

'' Well, yeah, but Kate... We are in Paris ! '' Tony cheered.

'' Yeah, '' Kate said and smile appeared on her lips.

They saw Chris and Dana waiting for them in entrance.

'' Others took a taxi and they are in hotel already. We are going together, since you are new to this thing. I'll explain things, when it is time, '' Chris said.

'' And we are going shopping with girls later, '' Dana said to Kate and she sounded excited.

'' Yay ! '' Kate said and forced a smile.

Tony gave her a look that said, it's okay. Kate smiled to them and they sat into taxi and drove to hotel.

Back in DC...

Jenny looked down from stairs and saw Gibbs working with McGee and 2 new agents. One of them was Ziva David – she took over Kate's place. Ziva is Mossad officer working in NCIS for awhile, and the other new agent is Michelle Lee. Agent Lee is temporary here to make Gibbb's team here also efficient. McGee was temporary senior field agent and he took over Tony's desk. And Gibbs was still working behind his desk, Abby was still in lab and Ducky in autopsy with Palmer.

Jenny walked to bullpen and saw that everybody looked at her.

'' Any news about the case ? '' Jenny asked.

'' David and Lee are looking for leads, right now we have nothing. McGee is checking phone records and bank account, Abby hasn't called me yet and Ducky finished, shot to heart was the killing one, his record should be on your table, director, '' Gibbs said.

'' Thank you for update agent Gibbs. Do you have any news on DiNozzo and Todd ? '' Jenny asked.

'' They should land soon. If they call, I let you know, '' Gibbs said.

'' That would be good. Let me know if you know more, '' Jenny said and she turned to leave.

McGee's phone rang.

'' McGee, '' he said.

'' Tim, I have something, '' Abby said.

'' I'll be right there, '' McGee said and hang up. '' Abby has something, '' he said to Gibbs.

'' Director, I know something more, '' Gibbs said.

'' Let's go then, '' Jenny replied.

Ziva and Lee stood up to be ready for following.

'' McGee, come, '' Gibbs called instead.

McGee ran to elevator and they went down.

Lee and Ziva looked at each other with distinguish in their eyes, then sat down.

'' They have like a secret code or anything. McGee is inside and we are out, we are the ones who do the work and they grab the glory, '' Ziva said.

'' I agree. We are not even invited to Abby's lab or autopsy, only this paper thing, and just some field work, '' Lee said.

Paris.

Tony and Kare were in hotel. They had a room with kitchen corner, bathroom, TV and one huge bed. They were both lying on bed, exhausted from flight.

'' Should we call Gibbs ? '' Kate asked.

'' We should. But what if we call Abby ? She wants to hear about us too for sure, '' Tony proposed.

'' Yeah. Let's call her first, '' Kate said and took the phone.

'' I'm gonna shower, you can handle Abby by yourself, I'll support you with Gibbs, '' Tony said and went to bathroom.

'' Great, '' Kate said and dialed Abby.

'' Kate ! How are you ? How is Paris ? Is Tony annoying you with those stupid movies already ? I miss you so much, please come back soon, this place needs you two back here. Do your undercover thing really fast and then come back and then you'll gonna tell me everything... Kate, are you still there, you haven't said a word, '' Abby said.

'' Hey Abs. I am still here, you just didn't give me a chance to talk, '' Kate said.

'' Sorry, I just missed you so much. How is Tony ? Where is he ? '' Abby asked.

'' He is okay. He is taking a shower, he says hi, but he promised to support me with Gibbs, since he is not very happy about this Paris thing, '' Kate said.

'' Sorry Kate, '' Abby said.

'' Gibbs is there ? '' Kate asked.

'' Hey Kate ! How is to be in Paris ? '' Gibbs said and answered Kate's question.

'' Gibbs ! Hi ! Paris is good, warmer than DC, but we only arrived. I think boys are running some business today, but I don't know really, Chris promised to let Tony know when it is right time or something, I guess this time I am not helpful, '' Kate said.

'' When Tony is ready, let him call me, I need a word with him, '' Gibbs said.

'' Let him know. So what have we missed in office ? '' Kate asked.

'' First Hey Kate, you are missed. Second there are new agents Ziva David from Mossad and agent Lee came from other department. They are your replacements and I have to say that you are so much better, '' McGee said.

'' Hey McGee !! Good to be missed. Now only director is missing from this... She also knows about the mission … And Ducky too, I guess he knows too, '' Kate said.

'' Hello agent Todd, I am not missing anything. How are you and DiNozzo getting along ? '' Jenny asked.

'' Director ! Hey. I am getting with Tony nicely, he is a good agent and a good guy, '' Kate said.

'' Kate !! '' Gibbs yelled.

'' Ouch, that was my ear, Gibbs. What did I say ? '' Kate asked.

'' Tony is a good guy, '' Abby said.

'' Gibbs. He is a friend, this is it, no worries here. He is just a nice guy, but don't worry – today I am going shopping and Tony is doing that business thing, '' Kate said.

'' Okay. Then get me Tony right now, he is clean enough, '' Gibbs said.

'' He is on shower and I should disturb him ? '' Kate asked.

'' Just get him ! '' Gibbs ordered.

'' Yes, Gibbs. Wait, I have to get him out of shower first, '' Kate said and left the phone on bed. She walked angrily to bathroom and opened the door.

'' Tony, Gibbs is mad, because I said that you are nice and then he asked me to get you out of shower, '' Kate said.

'' Now ? I am washing my hair, and shampoo is all over my hair and body, '' Tony protested.

'' Make it fast, I can't stand my boss anymore. He is too into this mission, first when we had to live together and then Paris. I am not facing him alone, '' Kate said, she was getting more angry.

'' You are not facing him, it's just a phone Kate, '' Tony said.

'' You have a minute to get out of there, '' Kate said and shut the door.

She waited behind the door until Tony came out. He was still wet and only had towel around his waist. They walked to bed and Tony took phone, but it on speaker and took a breath.

'' Hey boss. What was so urgent ? '' Tony asked.

'' DiNozzo !! What did you do to Kate ? '' Gibbs asked, or more like yelled.

'' I did nothing. We are friends and partners, this is it, '' Tony defended himself.

'' I am not buying it. When you get back I'll have a talk with you. Now talk to me about this mission, I am beginning not to like it, '' Gibbs said.

'' I know nothing. I will know it on the way, when I have to know, but I'll let you know, '' Tony said.

'' And it better be like that. If not... '' Gibbs warned.

'' Yeah, I got it boss, '' Tony said.

Before Gibbs could tell anything they heard a knock and then door was opened.

'' Bye mom, dad, Abs and Timmy, I'll call you later, '' Tony said and hung up. It was Chris who entered.

'' Hope I didn't disturb, but we are going in hour, '' Chris said.

'' I just called home. I'm gonna change and then I am good to come. I'll see you downstairs ? '' Tony asked.

''Yeah. Kate come with Tony, you are going shopping with girls, I assume. We are going on same time as usual, '' Chris said.

'' Okay, I'll get ready, '' Kate said.

'' See you down in hour then, '' Chris said and left.

The door shut, Tony ran to bathroom and changed clothes, Kate looked for her things and then she went for a shower. Tony sent McGee a text, saying that business trip starts in hour. They had time to chat a bit and Tony calmed Kate down, since she was worried about this mission thing. Then they went down, others were waiting already. Tony kissed her cheek for goodbye and then he sat into a car with Chris, Zvi and Ramon, when Kate, Isabella, Alexandra and Dana took a taxi and drove to Paris center. Kate had her fingers crossed when they drove, just in case for Tony.

In Washington DC.

It was night already. McGee was in lab with Abby as usual, they sat on couch and chatted. Mostly about Paris and then computer things. They talked about Gibbs also, how he was about this Tony and Kate mission.

After awhile, when they had nothing to talk about anymore they sat there quiet. Finally McGee took all the strength he had and kissed Abby. Abby took it as a surprise, but she responded to him fast. They kissed on that couch until they had to catch their breath.

'' Timmy... '' Abby almost whispered.

'' I know, I am so sorry Abby, I don't know what I was thinking, '' Tim started rambling.

'' What ? Why ? You don't like kissing me ? '' Abby asked.

'' What ? Of course I do, '' Tim said.

'' Then no need to apologize, '' Abby smiled.

'' I like you Abby. A lot, '' Tim said.

'' I know. I like you a lot too, '' Abby said.

They smiled and kissed again.

In director's office...

Gibbs and Jenny were finishing their dinner. They said no words mostly because Jenny was still mad at Gibbs and Gibbs was worried about Kate and mostly Tony. He never admitted it though, but he was really worried about his senior agent. So they ate and stared table together there. After they finished neither of them moved or said anything for awhile.

'' You are worried, '' Jenny said finally.

'' I am not. They are not worth worrying for, '' Gibbs said and looked at her.

'' I have always known what you are thinking of, '' Jenny said.

'' Not always. I am not worried about them, I am worried that they are going to get caught, '' Gibbs said.

'' You are not so good liar. Admit or not, but you are worried about them, '' Jenny said.

'' I am scared that they will fall for each other, '' Gibbs admitted.

'' Jethro... '' Jenny said, realizing why he was against it all, why Tony had to hug walls and why he warned him so... He was scared Tony would do the same he did once...
