Yea, this is chapter ten. I don't know if I like it, but I think it does what I wanted it to do. Enjoy.

Spoilers: None

Disclaimer: If I owned it would I really be sitting here writing fanfiction.

Kate struggled for a moment before she realized that Zombies were not holding her. Jenny's hand was resting gently on her shoulder. Quickly Kate sat up, and folded her hands in her lap. "I'm sorry about that," she said quietly looking down at her hands.

"It's fine," Jenny assured her, "Do you want to talk about it?"

Kate looked up at Jenny a little surprised. She had been alone for nearly three years. Literally alone, she had never had any friends for fear that they would find out things about her. She had been alone and scared for three years and was still trying to trust again. "Sorry," she told Jenny shaking herself of her daze, "I am just so used to no one caring."

Jenny looked at Kate curiously, "I hear you."

"You do?" Kate said a little surprised.

"Yes," Jenny told her with a small grimace, "Want me to tell you?"

"Sure if you want to," Kate told her hoping that she didn't sound too hopeful.

"You sound hopeful," Jenny teased her.

"Sorry," Kate told her.

"Caitlin if you say sorry one more time," Jenny looked around the room for a threat good enough and her eyes landed on Ziva's sleeping figure, "I will wake Ziva up and frame you for it."

"I have never witnessed that, but I sincerely doubt that it would be good news," Kate told her with a small smile.

"Pain…Serious injury…Death…" Jenny suggested.

"That sounds very likely," Kate conceded.

For a while there was silence and both women sat looking at the demons that the darkness held. Then Jenny started to speak, "I had been an agent for about five years when I was stationed on a team the would missions abroad. We worked several missions allover Europe, then we came to Paris." Jenny paused squeezing her eye shut for a moment. "I had done the one thing that you are supposed to avoid at all costs."

"You fell for you partner," Kate said.

"Yes," Jenny confirmed even thought it hadn't been a question. "The worst bit was that when out mission was over in Paris I left him. I said I had to advance my career, but that was only a part of it."

"Why?" Kate asked her.

"I was scared," Jenny told her, "scared of being hurt. I thought that if I left him then I couldn't get hurt. I couldn't have been more wrong. In that action I opened the door to everything that I had ever wanted, but I closed the door on everything I ever needed."

"Night spent in the dark, wondering where it all went wrong. Not sure who you are, no one to belong to. Try to live a lie, but you're so unallied. If you could only make it through, another day," Kate told her with a small smile.

"Now, that sounds like it should be a song," Jenny told her.

"It is," Kate told her shrugging, "I have spent my last three years with no friends in a country where I speak very little of the language. I spend a lot of time on the computer."

"Ah, good song," Jenny commented.

"I liked it," Kate told her shrugging, "What was the name of this man?"

"Leroy Jethro Gibbs," Jenny replied causing Kate's jaw to drop.

"Our Leroy Jethro Gibbs?" she spluttered, "he actually dated someone?"

"Yea," Jenny said smiling a little dreamily.

"In the dream I had he was kissing you senseless," Kate told Jenny smirking.

"Is there any chance this dream can come true?" Jenny asked.

"I hope not," Kate said shuttering, "Everyone was shot except for McGee and myself. Then your corpses all came to life and killed McGee and left me all alone." There was silence as the unspoken word hung in the air, 'again.'

"Okay just the part about me kissing Gibbs," Jenny corrected, "Was anybody else kissing?"

"Tony and Ziva," Kate said and both she and Jenny glanced towards Ziva's sleeping form.

"That sounds plausible enough," Jenny concluded.

"And McGee was hugging me," Kate admitted.

Jenny looked at her curiously for a moment, and then spoke, "I am not sure I can see that one."

"It's never going to happen," Kate told her shrugging.

"Doesn't mean you wouldn't like it to," Jenny added.

"McGee and Abby are perfect for each other," Kate told her without a hint of jealousy.

"You're a good person," Jenny told her, "I want to take every woman I see

Jethro dating and rip her into little tiny pieces."

"I've had three years," Kate reminded her.

Jenny laughed derisively, "I've had nine."

There was silence for a while then Kate spoke again, "When we get out of this mess, you need to tell Gibbs how you feel."

"What if he doesn't still love me?" Jenny asked Kate.

"Seriously Jen," a voice from across the room said, "What kind of question is that?"

"A legitimate one Ziva," Jenny said sadly, "I betrayed his trust more times than I can count and then I left him. Would you take me back after that?"

"No," Kate answered, "but we are not him. I'm sure that if Tony did that and he wanted to come back, Ziva would let him do it in a second."

Ziva looked at Kate for a long moment trying to assess was lying would gain her. The only reason not to tell her was that Ziva tried to deny it, and telling someone made it real. "Yes I would," Ziva said, "but it would be him who would say no."

Jenny looked at Ziva; "he has been head over heels in love with you for three years."

Ziva shook her head, "Just before we left he told me that everyone would be better off if I died."

"He will pay for that," Kate muttered under her breath.

"I am not going to do anything if that is what you are suggesting," Ziva told Kate.

"It wasn't."

I know it was a little weird but the story will get going a little faster soon. Please Review.

Note: I was original going to work McAbby as a couple and pair Kate up with someone who came up later in the story. What would you think of me switching it so that Kate and McGee end up together and Abby ends up with someone else? Tell me.
