Dana, Chris, Ramon, Zvi, Alexandra and Isabella were already eating, when Tony and Kate got there.
'' Sorry, we got hanged up, '' Tony apologized.
'' Oh... I get it. I hope you saved some passion for Eiffel too, '' Dana said.
'' Yeah, we have a plenty of passion left, '' Tony assured.
'' Order now, so we can go there soon, '' Dana said.
'' The Eiffel ? '' Kate asked.
'' Yeah, it's the first place, '' Isabella said.
'' So excited, '' Kate said and faked the best smile she could. Though she tried, Tony could see it is fake. He knows her.
Same time in Washington DC.
Jenny and Gibbs were sitting in her office as usual. After Tony's call Gibbs was a little angry, disappointed and not trustful.
'' I'm sorry Jethro. I should have told you, '' Jenny said.
'' Yeah, Jen. You should have. A long time ago, '' Gibbs said.
'' I didn't know she could find us. I mean, we were undercover after all, wrong names, and time has passed, '' Jenny said.
'' It has never stopped people. I killed her lover. If you would have told me, I would have killed her too, there was a rule to never let witnesses. Jen, didn't you trust me ? '' Gibbs asked.
'' I do trust you, but I just couldn't tell you I failed. Please understand me Jethro. I love you and I loved you back there, I couldn't tell you I was weak, while you were really good killer. I just couldn't, '' Jenny said.
'' I... I don't dump people just because they are not good assassins. Jenny, still you should have told me. Did you know that the guys you are after are involved with Svetlana ? '' Gibbs asked.
'' No ! If I had known, I wouldn't have sent Tony and Kate there, '' Jenny said.
'' Okay. Enough of the past, we have to figure out a way to bring Kate and Tony out of that mission alive, '' Gibbs said.
'' I know. You have any ideas ? '' Jenny asked.
'' None. You ? '' Gibbs asked.
'' No, '' Jenny said.
They shared a look full of worries and a quick kiss. Then Gibbs walked out of the room, he had other duties too, like a dead petty officer lying on Ducky's table. Gibbs walked through the squad room, without a word. He went down to autopsy.
'' Jethro, I'm sorry I don't have anything for you yet, '' Ducky said.
'' Okay. I'll come back later, '' Gibbs said and started to walk away.
'' Wait Jethro, '' Ducky said. '' Abby needs those samples, '' he said to Jimmy, who walked away.
'' What Duck ? '' Gibbs asked.
'' I wanted to ask about Anthony and Caitlin. How are they ? I haven't heard about them for a long time, since they went, '' Ducky asked.
'' They're good, '' Gibbs told.
'' Jethro did you know, they once came to me with a relationship advise, at first I thought it was a late sibling rivalry, but now I know, it was the wish to be better and show each other that they exist. It's like they wanted to impress each other, '' Ducky said.
'' They are not having a relationship, '' Gibbs said.
'' And how can you be sure ? '' Ducky asked.
'' Because DiNozzo has other things in his mind, '' Gibbs said calm.
'' Like what ? A mission ? It has to be bigger than that, '' Ducky said.
'' He has something bigger. A plan how not kill me and Jen, and stay alive at the same time, '' Gibbs said and started walking away.
'' What ? Why he has to kill you and director ? '' Ducky asked.
'' It's his mission now, '' Gibbs said and entered the elevator the same time Jimmy walked out.
'' My dear lord, '' Ducky said.
'' What's the problem doctor ? '' Jimmy asked.
'' Nothing mr. Palmer. Nothing. Let's get back to work, '' Ducky said and started working with Jimmy.
Tim was in Abby's lab at the same time. He was working on dead marine's computer with Abby. They were looking for leads, for any leads at all... or it was going to be a cold case.
'' Do you think Tony and Kate are okay ? '' Abby asked.
'' Sure, they are professional... Why shouldn't they be ? '' Tim asked back.
'' Well, maybe because they are there with terrorists and also have to be in love... Gosh, I'd be surprised, if Tony is still alive and Kate is not pissed off, '' Abby said.
'' Yeah, but maybe they'll fall in love ? '' Tim said.
'' They are not falling in love. These are Tony and Kate, if they fall in love, then something has happened in world, '' Abby said.
'' Yeah, you're right. But you like me, and I think it is pretty amazing too, '' Tim said.
'' I know Timmy, '' Abby said.
Abby leaned over to kiss Tim, while the doors opened and Gibbs walked in.
'' McGee, what the hell are you doing ! '' Gibbs yelled.
'' Don't blame Timmy, Gibbs. It was me, '' Abby said.
'' McGee, upstairs ! NOW ! '' Gibbs yelled.
McGee disappeared really fast from the lab.
'' What are you doing Gibbs ? '' Abby asked.
'' What are you doing Abby ? You are not having a relationship with one of my agents, '' Gibbs said.
'' I can quit if you want me to, but I am not giving up Timmy, '' Abby said.
'' I don't want you to leave, but keep it out of the office, '' Gibbs said calming down.
'' How are Tony and Kate by the way ? '' Abby asked.
'' They are fine, still alive and soon back home, next week I think, '' Gibbs said.
'' Oh, they have directions from someone ? '' Abby asked, eager to start working.
'' Yeah. Tony has a assignment. He has to kill 2 people in D.C. He has 2 months, '' Gibbs said.
'' Oh, and who are the lucky ones ? '' Abby asked.
'' Me and Jen, '' Gibbs said.
'' Oh, Gibbs... You have to get him out of there, '' Abby said and hugged Gibbs.
'' I know Abby. I am doing my best, '' Gibbs assured her.
'' And let me know if you have a plan and I can help, '' Abby said.
'' I will Abs, now do your job and I will do mine, '' Gibbs said.
Abby let him go and he went back upstairs while Abby went back to her work.
Paris... A while later...
They came out of the taxi in front of the Eiffel tower. It was beautiful night – stars were shining and moon was looking over the Paris. Kate was holding Tony's hand as they walked.
'' Are you excited ? '' Dana asked Kate.
'' Very, '' Kate said ironically.
'' Don't worry it's not that bad, beside you are a couple after all. I get that you are scared, if you weren't a couple, but you are, so nothing to worry about, '' Dana assured.
'' Yeah, '' Kate said and faked a smile.
Ramon came back, he had gone to buy tickets. He gave everyone a ticket and they entered the towel. First they took stairs until they had to take the elevator. Tony and Kate both took a deep breath and Kate squeezed his hand.
'' Ready for the elevator love ? '' Isabella asked.
'' Like you wouldn't believe, '' Tony said and Kate elbowed him.
'' Ouch, '' Tony groaned.
'' Okay, you wanna know, what elevator love means ? '' Dana asked.
'' Do we have a choice ? '' Kate asked.
'' Um... no. Tony and Kate. You have to step in the elevator and we'll get you a place on the wall. You have to kiss, but not like you usually do in front of us or anyone. It is the kiss or kissing before you start having sex. And it is not only the kissing thing, the touching... everything like you do, when you are in the bedroom, or in living room, doesn't matter. The point is, that it has to look real, and while you kiss, we film, everything, if it is not real, then we ride with elevator until it is real, okay ? '' Dana explained.
'' It's like out personal life in front of you and the camera ? '' Kate asked.
'' Something like that, but we are not seeing anything else, beside it's fun. Trust me, you'll love it, '' Isabella said.
'' Yeah, I think so too, '' Kate said.
They heard a ''ding'' – elevator was there. Tony and Kate both took another deep breath, looked at each other and entered the elevator. There was no-one else beside them. Dana had a video camera out already and they were ready, except Tony and Kate of course.
'' We can do this, '' Tony whispered, Kate gave him a slight nod.
'' Game on, '' Ramon said and smiled.
Tony and Kate shared a look. The elevator doors closed. Tony looked at Kate, she looked back. The elevator started moving. No-one was making a move.
'' Come on, '' Dana tried to cheer.
No moves.
'' You know, you have to do it anyway, '' Chris said.
Tony took a step closer to Kate, she warned him with her look. Tony smiled, and pushed Kate to the elevator wall. He kissed her neck and then lips. She wasn't responding, but she noticed camera and responded, while Tony's hand were running on her body. Suddenly the elevator stopped. They were on half-way.
'' This is not good enough, you have one more elevator to prove, but we are not enjoying the view, until you have done it, '' Dana said.
'' It's fun, just relax, '' Ramon assured them.
