"Gibbs, its nearly midnight and we have a three hour drive to get back to the base. Can't we leave the scene for the night?" I can see Tony motioning for me to shut up, I know he wants to go somewhere to sleep as well. McGee is just standing there looking at me as if I'm crazy.
"Good idea agent Todd. We can all sleep after the three hour drive to the base, I'm sure being beck here at six would mean we would get not even an hours sleep. You all of coarse could sleep in the car, unless one of you wants to pay for the hotel rooms?"
"Fine I will." I of coarse just had to volunteer to pay for four hotel rooms. "Fine, all agreed, lets go find us a hotel."
Finally we find a motel. We looked for a half-hour. We go up to the desk clerk and I ask for four rooms. "I sorry, we only have one room that is free." At that moment Gibbs pops in. "We'll take it."
We finish up and get our keys. Heading upstairs and to our room, Tony starts to complain. "How are we all going to sleep in one room? It's impossible, unless we double up." "You volunteering Dinozzo?" "No boss."
We get to the room and go inside. McGee chooses that time to be the one to point out a little problem. "Ah, guys there is only a couch, a queen-size bed and single bed in here." "We noticed that probee. Good job for noticing a very obvious fact." "Shut up Tony. " I say this just as Gibbs hits him over the head.
"Kate gets the queen size bed. She chooses where the other we sleep On the floor, the couch or the single bed. That is how we are going to do this, no buts." They all look at me. "McGee, you can have the small bed. Tony you can take the couch..." "Kate, you can't put Gibbs on the floor..." "I never said that, I was going to say he had the choice of sleeping on the floor or in the queen size bed with me."
"Kate, you sure you don't want the bed to yourself." Gibbs looks as if he actually wants to, but doesn't want to automatically say yes. I want him there, sure, but the other two won't let us hear the end of it. "It will be warmer..." "Oh, Kate wants to cuddle with Gibbs now does she." I'm closer to him so I hit Tony instead. "Look at the heater, its looks broken, the windows' seal is gone so cold air will come in over the bed. Use your head Tony the only reason I'd move closer to him tonight would be for heat, the heat you both wont have tonight."
They look around and see that I'm right. I grab my stuff and head into the bathroom to change. I come out five minutes later to go over to the bed and lay down.
The boys all go to their beds. Gibbs lies down beside me. I roll over to face him. We look at each other before I close my eyes to sleep. I hear him fall asleep just before I follow.
We all wake up to hear people yelling, "I hate you" "I hate you more" and so on.
A few minutes later the voices stop. Tony and McGee are back asleep. I start to shiver.
Gibbs must have noticed because he lies down on his back and tries to get me to lay down closer to him. I do and he pulls me into his arms. "Go to sleep Kate, wake me up if you get cold again, okay?" I nod into his chest.
I can feel his bare chest through my thin tank top. All he's wearing is his sweat pants he brought with him. Well I'm also wearing my sweats as well, but he isn't wearing a shirt. I do have to mention that I'm glad about that.
"Kate?"
Great, Tony's awake.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Yes!" "In Gibbs' arms?"
Everyone else is awake now.
"Yes."
They all heard that part.
"Show me."
"Show you what?"
"That you like being so close to him."
"What are you talking about?"
"If you like where you are, kiss him."
"Very funny."
"Kiss his chest if you love him."
He turns on the light and the room is showered it it.
"Why do you want me to?"
"Office pools"
"What office pools?"
"You wouldn't know about them because it's about the both of you. It's about how long you two last working together before sharing a bed."
"Why would you want to bet in a pool like that?"
Tony pulls out his phone, pushes a few buttons, then puts it down on the coffee table.
"By tommorow afternoon, everyone at NCIS will have seen that picture I just took. Unless you kiss his chest."
"Don't threaten us!"
"I will, I swear I will."
"You'll drop this if I do, right?"
"Yes."
I move closer to our boss and kiss his chest. Exactly at tha same time as the flash from the crime scene camera goes of in McGee's hands.
"Push this little button here and send. There, everyone at NCIS will get an e-mail tommorow with the last two pictures on it. Oh, and if you try to distroy the crime scene cameras film. We loose evidence. It's raining, the scene is compromised and all we have is the baged evidence and the pictures that are on that roll of film."
"I hate you Tony! You too McGee!"
