NOTE: I don't know Spanish at all, I used Babel Fish. So if it isn't right, it's the fishes fault, not mine! English translates are located at the end of the story with something else too. No peeking! Read the story first.
Gibbs sat in the dimly lite office and went online. Gibbs wanted to say something, but his....pride or something was getting in the way. Well if Kate could write her feelings about him, he would do the same to her. He didn't know French, though. He did know a little Spanish. So going to Babel Fish, he wrote his thoughts to Kate. He couldn't let it just lay around, though, someone else could translate it and tell her.
No he had to be as tricky as Kate. Looking around the almost empty office, Gibbs smiled and pulled up Kate's employment file. Caitlin Lily Todd was listed as Kate's full name. Now he knew what her full name was, and he now knew why Caitlin Rose was named that way.
Well that made Gibbs' night. Now he needed to look up a couple of other things and he would be ready. Saving the thoughts, Gibbs closed down everything and went home. He knew he was going to have to write a whole lot more tomorrow.
Gibbs was at the office at his regular time. He had a couple cups of coffee with him. He sat down and turned on the computer. As the computer booted up, Gibbs spread out envelopes on his desk. They each were a different color. He had found a twenty-four hour Kinko's, and had gotten four different color envelopes. A color for each person he wanted to leave a message to.
Kate's color was peach, Abby's black, of course, Tony's baby blue and Ducky's was green.
Gibbs got online and looked up everyone's name. Caitlin Lily, Anthony, Abigail and Donald. He was going to make each a bit more personal.
Gibbs opened up the file that he wrote for Kate in last night, added what he just got, and then printed it out.
As Kate's paper was printing, the ex-Marine started on next one. Gibbs smiled and now he was ready to have some fun. Taking the paper out of the printer, Gibbs looked at the writing once more.
'El trabajo es todo lo que he dejado. Aunque sé debo parar el ocultar detrás de él. Oculto porque es más seguro entonces amando a alguien como usted, flor floreciente pura. Usted es la respiración del aire I y una vida que es larga y olvidada.'
Gibbs folded it up and put it in Kate's envelope.
Printing up what he didn't Ducky to know,
'Líder del mundo, usted es mi más viejo amigo aquí. Espero que usted perdone mi necesidad de decir o de no decir las cosas que usted sabe. Usted sabe dónde se entierran los cuerpos y las gracias por guardarla a se.'
Gibbs folded the paper up and put it in Ducky's envelope.
The agent started working on what he wanted to not say to Tony. 'Digno de alabanza, nunca le he dicho apenas cómo es bueno de un agente usted es. Mientras que sus medios del nombre, usted deben saber lo que usted vale. Usted necesidad de don't mi alabanza.' After it printed up, Gibbs folded it up and placed it in Tony's envelope.
Gibbs sat there for a moment and thought what he didn't want to say to Abby. He had to keep it simple.
'una alegría de father's, usted es un amigo más verdadero. Usted es el único la otra persona que sabe dónde se entierran los cuerpos y estoy alegre usted estoy en mi lado.' Printing it up, Gibbs folded it up and placed it in Abby's envelope.
Gibbs put all four envelopes into a bigger envelope and taped it up so no one could break into it with ease. Writing "death comes with opening it" and then tacked it up on the side wall of his cubical. He knew that when Tony saw it, Tony would work on trying to get in to it. That was why Gibbs taped it.
He still hadn't figured out what he was going to do about Kate. He really needed to think about this a little more.
Kate was the type of woman that should be given jewels and houses in Paris, New York City and D.C. She sure in the hell didn't need an old fart like him. Hell, anyone that saw them as a couple would have thought she was out with her father. She deserved to be with someone young like DiNozzo, but if Tony ever touched her, Gibbs was going to skin the boy alive!
Gibbs didn't know why that thought bothered him, Tony and Kate together. Not that she would take the goof ball. Kate needed someone with a bit more honor to himself. Gibbs just wished that he could be the one, even without his rule 12, it still wouldn't work. Kate worked under Gibbs and he wasn't going to send her off to another team. Gibbs wanted her close to him. He wanted to protect her and train her to be the best agent on the planet next to him and Tony. That boy was coming along nicely too. He was going to be a great agent some day. Gibbs really needed to tell that to Tony some time. In time, Gibbs would get around to it. Didn't want the boy's head to get too big now.
The elevator pinged and Gibbs came back to reality and got to work on his job. Enough of these emotions stuff. He would think about it tonight while he worked on his boat.
Kate walked to her desk, "Morning Gibbs," said Kate as she put down her purse.
Gibbs picked up his coffee and sipped it as he watched her. Kate had been working for him for almost a year now. She had changed a lot in that time. She was surer of things. Even more then she was before. That made Gibbs smile. "Morning Kate," said Gibbs finally.
The elevator pinged again and Tony stepped into the bullpen. "Morning Kate," said Tony. "Morning Gibbs." Tony put down his backpack on the floor behind his desk.
"Morning Ton," said Kate. She smiled this little secret smile at the younger man. Gibbs caught it. Sitting up straight in his chair, he almost choked on his coffee.
"DiNozzo," said Gibbs as he choked. Kate moved over to leader and lifted his arm up in the air.
"Gibbs, are you alright?" asked Kate. She had let go of his arm when he stopped choking.
"I'm fine, Kate," said Gibbs. "The coffee went down the wrong way."
"You sure you alright, Gibbs," asked Tony as he moved closer to the other members in his team.
"I'm fine," said Gibbs as he cleared his throat.
As Tony stood there, the young man noticed something at the back of Gibbs cubical. "Whatz that boss?" asked Tony.
"What is what?" Asked Gibbs as he smiled at DiNozzo. He knew what Tony was talking about. But he was in a playful mood for once.
"That thing back there," said Tony.
Gibbs turned to look at what Tony was looking at. "Oh you mean my envelope?" said Gibbs.
"What is that, Gibbs?" asked Kate. Now she was curious.
"Oh that is something for you all to read when I die," said Gibbs with a smile.
"Ummm, what?" said Kate.
"Don't worry about it," said Gibbs. "I'm not planning on dying anytime soon. I was just getting some things ready. Don't worry about it." Gibbs just kept smiling. "Oh and DiNozzo, don't even think of B&Eing it, I have it booby trapped to keep you out."
Tony looked surprised and then hurt. "Boss, what do you mean?" said Tony like he was really hurt.
"Tony," said Gibbs. "You have the worse case of having to know what is what. You have a habit of sticking your nose in other peoples stuff. Kate's purse, packages on my desk. So I made it so you can't get into it. I will know if you get into it. Not only will I shoot you, but I will stuff your body and leave it in the lobby of this building."
"BOSS!" said Tony. "How can you say that?"
"Easy, with my mouth," said Gibbs. "Now you two get to work or I will shoot Tony now and make Kate do the stuffing."
Both Kate and Tony moved back to their desk.
