"It Starts With a Look"
Chapter 10
Okay, I know this chapter is super short, but I'm trying to work out several different story lines and I have major writer's block. Any feedback is appreciated...I live for cool reviews:)

Once they were headed to the office, Tony and Kate started up with their usual banter.
"I can't believe that's one of your favorite movies," Tony teased, "I didn't figure you for such a sap."
"You're calling me a sap?" Kate protested, "It's your movie."
"I told you, I keep that movie for when I entertain other guests." He said sheepishly.
"Like McGee, right?" Kate asked.
"Right." Tony said as they both laughed.
Kate smiled. She was relieved to be settling back into their normal routine of teasing one another. It was comforting to know that some things never change.
"So I was meaning to ask you," Tony began, "How did you slip past me this morning without waking me up? What are you, part ninja or something?"
Kate laughed. "Ninja? What are you, four years old?"
"Hey, do not knock the ninja. The ninja is a classic staple of numerous foreign films and is still a revered icon of the orient." Tony said, defending himself. "And you didn't answer my question."
"Was that a question or a history lesson?" Kate asked with a smile.
Tony glared at her, prodding for a response.
"I guess I'm just stealthy," Kate replied. "You know, from all the ninja training in the secret service."
"I never realized you were so funny Kate." Tony said, his voice dripping of sarcasm.
"The things you don't know about me could fill a book Dinozzo." Kate smiled.
"Really Kate?" Tony said as he raised his eyebrows. "Enlighten me."
"Not a chance Dinozzo."
