-1Kate never expected the smell of fresh coffee when she opened her eyes, Gibbs standing at the door watching her. She stretched out but instantly curled back up against Gibbs in the bed.

'I could stay here forever,' Gibbs chuckled, Kate's hands reaching up and taking the mug of coffee out of his hands.

'Jen called for you,' Kate groaned, handing him the coffee back and pulling the duvet up over her head.

'You need to talk to her at some point,'

'Why? So she can yell at me for handcuffing Ziva?'

'No, so you can tell her that your coming to Mexico with me tomorrow night,' Kate pulled the duvet down slightly, showing her eyes only.

'Mexico?'

'What's wrong with Mexico?'

'Nothing…I just never imagined you in Mexico,'

'And where exactly did you imagine me?' Kate smiled seductively, wrapping her legs and arms around Gibbs.

'Many many places…'

Kate rubbed her hands together, Jen smiling broadly at her as she walked into her office.

'Kate, please take a seat,' Kate relaxed into the seat, listening to Jen talk about various awards that Gibbs was up for.

'Jen…can I just stop you…I came in here expecting to be told that I was being transferred, not that Gibbs is getting an award,'

'I just thought you should know,'

'Well I think that you should know that I'm leaving with Jethro tonight,'

'Excuse me?'

'We're going away for a while. He won't tell me how long for or where but I thought I'd better tell you,'

'You can't just up and leave Kate, you need to give me some sort of a warning,'

'That's what I'm telling you now for,' Jen stood up as Kate lifted her bag and headed for the door.

'Special Agent Todd,'

'Director, I'll send you a post card,'

Kate smiled at Gibbs as he took her bag, throwing it onto the conveyor belt. she sighed contentedly, Gibbs wrapping his arm around her waist. His cell went off repeatedly, Gibbs only having to glance at the name before turning it off.

'It would seem that our director is looking for me,' Kate put herself flush against Gibbs as they sat in the departure lounge, Kate relaxing as she felt Gibbs rubbing the back of her hand.

'You realise that when we go back she's going to kill not only you but me also?'

'So? Jen and I have…shall we say an understanding that she doesn't annoy me and I don't piss her or any other organisation off. that's the rule,' Kate sat up, looking at Gibbs.

'You have rules?' Kate took a sip of Gibbs coffee

'Yeah, like rule twenty three, never mess with a marines coffee,' Kate raised her eyebrows.

'what's the consequences?' Gibbs chuckled.

'Not a Chance,' Kate smirked.

'You can read me like a book,'

'no, I can feel your hands moving and we are not doing this here,'

'Live a little,'

'I do. I'm going to Mexico with you aren't I?' Kate nodded, sliding away from Gibbs. She lifted her bag, Gibbs looking at her.

'What? You not talking to me now?' Kate waved her hand at Gibbs, Shutting him up.

'Kate…what's wrong,'

'I have a feeling…there's something,' Gibbs stood up beside Kate, looking around the departure room. She turned smiling broadly at him.

'Nothing, I'll be back in a minute,' Gibbs sat back down, now cautious and glancing around the room to see if he could see what she was seeing, feel what she had felt.

'You look like you could use a coffee,' Gibbs turned, Tony standing holding the mug out to him.

'DiNozzo, what the hell are you doing here?'

'I have been sent to collect you and Kate and I quote…drag your asses back to NCIS kicking and screaming if I have to,' Gibbs raised his eyebrows at Tony.

'Look, just call her and stop her stomping around NCIS like a bear with a headache. She yelled at Ducky. Never saw ducky yell at someone before. That was something Kate would have loved to see,'

'I knew it…I said…'

'Kate, nice dress,' Kate threw a glare at Tony, Tony putting his hands in the air.

'Look, Jen wants the two of you back now,' the radio stopped the voice came over telling that the flight was boarding.

'You tell her that when you got here we were already on board and that they wouldn't let you get to us. She knows your lying, you tell her I said she was to fuck off,' Kate slapped the back of Tony's head as his jaw dropped

'Your going to start drewling DiNozzo. Do what he says or I kick your ass. Now if you don't mind, we have a flight to catch,'
