I guess my flow is down since I have so much in my head. I wish I could write several stories at the same time without thinking I might confuse them all. Besides one KIBBS story at a time seems right. Well, except my small stories. This chapter is ok. For some reason I seem to screw up my English lately. I do not know why though. I never had problems with it. I mean spelling mistakes sure but you know, nothing major. Enough of this chit chat. I hope you will Enjoy!

She straightened her skirt and made sure she looked her best. "Ok, here we go." She walked down the stairs as memories flooded her mind. Memories she wouldn't mind if they were to be repeated. She watched him as she got closer. The man could still make her heart beat go faster.

"Jethro, you have a minute?"

Gibbs looked up to see Jenny smiling at him.

"Yeah." He threw down the pen glad to get a little brake.

"I was thinking, how about we have dinner tonight? Catch up on some old times."

Gibbs studied her. Kate's voice echoed in his head. 'I think that she still harbors feelings for you though. A woman knows these things. Trust me she wants to continue your non-working relationship.' She had been right. Jenny had been a bit too attentive to him lately.

"Can't." He rubbed his eyes wishing the day to go faster.

"Come on. You never have anything else to do." That perhaps was too much so she backtracked a bit. "Besides we need to talk about work too." That was a lie but for now let him believe that.

He did not believe her but perhaps they should talk. It would seem that he needed to set her straight.

"I am only asking for one dinner Jethro. Is that too much to ask for after all we've been through?" She would only need one dinner to make him hers again. She was sure of it.

He sighed. "Fine." It was out before he realized it. "Right after work and I don't have too much time." He picked up the pen and went back to his papers.

She knew she had been dismissed but she was ok with that. She wouldn't need much time anyway. "Ok."

He watched her leave wondering why he had agreed to this in the first place. He picked up his cell phone. He waited as he tapped his fingers on his desk.

Hi, Gibbs."

"Hey, Kate. I know I said I'd come by after work but have to go to dinner with the Director."

"Have to?"

He heard the amusement in her voice. "Yeah, have to but I'll make it as short as possible so I can hurry over to you." There was a small laughter and it sounded like music to his ears.

"Ok, see you later."

"Bye." As he hung up he couldn't help thinking he should just have said no to Jenny. Then again it was one dinner, what could it hurt?

Kate wasn't sure how she felt about Gibbs going to dinner with Jenny Shepard. She was sure the Director wanted more from Gibbs then just his friendship. However Gibbs could handle it. She went back into the living room watching her kids gather their things.

"Oh mom, don't look so sad. I told you when we get back I'll stay around and we will all spend some time together." Marcy said as she stuffed her backpack with some clothes.

Kate did not say anything but just kept watching them pack.

…………….

Finally Gibbs was done with all the boring paper work. He looked over to Kate's empty desk. Work was more interesting when Kate was there. He then saw Tony still working on his computer. Tim had just gone home. They had all worked a little extra when Kate had been home but no one had complained. "Dinozzo! Go home."

"Yes, Boss." Tony didn't need to be told twice. "Have a good evening."

Gibbs grimaced a bit. He did not know why but suddenly he felt something. Something just felt so wrong. He shrugged. It was probably him not looking forward to having dinner with Jenny. It was not that he didn't like Jenny but he would rather be spending his time with Kate. Why was Jenny staling? They should have been going to dinner over an hour ago. His phone rang and he answered. Jenny's voice floated over the line.

"Jethro, I am sorry but this conference call took longer then I realized. Just give me 15 more minutes then I'll be down."

The line went dead as he cursed. Now what?

Kate checked her watch. Gibbs sure was taking his sweet time. No, she trusted him. He probably had a good reason to be late. Maybe they both got caught up in work. Kate took a sip of her coffee when she thought she heard something. She put the cup down and listened. Only silence. When she took another sip she heard it again. She got up and walked over to the window. What was that? She walked to the hall and made sure to grab her gun and cell phone on the way. She opened the door and peered outside. She heard a scream and hurried in the direction where it came from. Another scream and she picked up her pace. She rounded the corner and there she saw a man on the ground. There was another man on top of him. She took out her gun and yelled for the man to freeze. The man on top stopped and turned to her.

"Kate!"

She couldn't not believe who was staring back at her. "David?" She knew her gun would be useless on him.

He stood up and started to walk over to her.

Kate quickly looked at the man on the ground. She did not to look twice to see who ever it was he was already dead. She turned and made a run for it.

………………

12 minutes later Jenny walked up to Gibb's desk. "See, actually less than 15 minutes."

Gibbs noticed her work clothes were gone replaced by a tight silver top that showed plenty of cleavage. He got up and took his jacket. "Let's go." As he walked around her he saw she had a long black and tight skirt on.

"Wait."

He stopped but did not turn to look at her. "What?"

Jenny was disappointed. She knew he had seen what she was wearing but there was none of the usual hints of amusement or approval on his face. "Don't like what I am wearing?" When did she get this needy?

Gibbs sighed as he turned to face her. "I am surprised you would dress like that here."

She shrugged. "I knew you were alone."

So this was for his benefit. This really had been a bad idea. He took a few steps closer to her. "Listen, Jen."

He didn't get a chance before her lips were on his.

Kate tried to slam the door shut but she was out of luck. It flew open hitting her right in her face. She fell back with a force and hit the back of her head on the floor. Her head was pounding as she tried to stand and she knew he was near.

"Kate!"

She jerked away from the hand that tried grabbing hold of her. Knowing where he was she took a hold of his sweater and kicked him hard between his legs. He fell over as she felt for her cell phone. She flipped it open and tried to see what she was dialing as she on unsteady lest made her way to the living room. Before she could make a call he grabbed her feet and she feel once again. The phone fell out of her hand and she tried to get away.

"Damn it Kate."

She kicked at his head and got out of his grasp. She got up but soon he was behind her and together they fell on the table that broke under their weight. Then everything went black.

……………….

Gibbs abruptly pulled away from Jenny. "Stop. STOP!" He repeated as Jenny tried yet again to move in. He saw by the way she looked at him that she was a bit shocked.

Jenny knew there had been a chance for rejection but had not expected him to be so forceful about it. "You used to like this Jethro."

"Used to Jen. Past tense." He put his jacket on. "I think we should skip dinner."

She knew she couldn't argue so she simply nodded. "Ok." As she watched him walk away she couldn't help but to wonder why he had been like this. She would talk to him later. Really tell him how she felt. She was sure he had some feelings for her left. He only needed some more time to remember those feelings. With new confidence Jenny decided it was time to head home.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

On his way over to Kate's apartment that feeling that something was wrong came back to him in full force. It lasted the entire time he drove and was still with him as he walked towards the apartment. Then he saw a small crowd of people. He ignored them as he continued on. It was when he saw the police outside Kate's apartment he really began to worry. He hurried forward only to be stopped by a man in uniform.

"Sorry Sir, you can't go in here."

He fumbled for his ID badge and waved it in front of the man's face. He was about to say something when he noticed a man emerging from inside of the apartment. "MIKE!"

Mike Towers turned around. "It's ok Dave. Let him through."

Gibbs pocketed his badge and walked briskly towards Mike. "What is going on?"

"Caitlin Todd. The name sounds familiar. You know her?"

He swallowed hard. "She is one of mine."

Mike nodded. That's why he recognized the name. That meant this investigation would now involve Gibbs. "You noticed the crowd of people back there?"

"Yeah." Gibbs eyebrow shot up. What did that have to do with Kate? Please god! Do not let it be.

"Apparently a man named…" Mike checked his notes. "Karl Groser was killed over there and your agent saw it happen. Witnesses say the killer chased Agent Todd back to her apartment and forced his way inside. She is nowhere to be found so the killer must have taken her with him."

Gibbs ran his fingers through his hair and tried really hard not to explode in anger. "Why the hell didn't anyone help her?"

"You know how people are. They don't want to get involved. Several know what she does for a living so they figured she'd be ok by herself. Some said they did help by calling the police."

Gibbs was working hard to remain in control. "Oh and that really helped didn't it?" He needed to work to find Kate. "Whatever you find I want to know about it and I'm going to bring my own agent's in there." Not waiting for an answer Gibbs headed towards the door. He stopped abruptly when he noticed the blood on the door. Looked like a handprint. Carefully he opened the door even more to look inside. Clothes were on the floor and there was a small pool of blood next to the clothes. He shut his eyes briefly and took another deep breath. Focus, he needed to focus. He opened his eyes and continued on.

Gibbs walked in to the living room ignoring the curious looks he received from the men working the scene. The table was broken and books were on the floor. Something caught his eye and he saw Kate's cellphone. He swallowed hard as he picked up his own cellphone. Within seconds he heard Tony's voice greeting him. "Dinozzo, Kate's is missing so grab your gear and get to Kate's apartment NOW!" He hung up the phone not waiting for an answer. He dialed again as he looked around for clues but at the same time was careful not to disturb the crime scene. "McGEE, Kate is missing so I need you to grab your gear and get to Kate's apartment NOW!" Again, he hung up not waiting for an answer. They both knew not to question his orders.

Suddenly it hit him. Could he have prevented this? If he had not been waiting for Jenny could he have prevented this? At that moment he bolted from the apartment. Fresh air, he needed fresh air.

As he staggered outside Mike saw him coming to a halt a few steps away from the door to lean heavily on the wall with one of his arms.

Gibbs suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

Mike knew Gibbs well enough to understand the state he was in. "She's more than just a coworker isn't she?"

Gibbs didn't feel like lying but he could barely just nod.

"We'll find her." Mike patted his shoulder one more time before leaving him alone.

Gibbs ran a hand over his face. "We will find you Kate. We will." He had to believe that. He knew she had more things going in her favor then many others but God only knows who had her and what this person could do to her? He straightened up and pulled himself together. He couldn't be like this. Kate needed him and he needed to find her. With determined steps he walked back towards the crime scene.
