AN: Hope you like it. Bummer if you don't. It's my story so, Nana nana boo boo. :D I also have 3 other stories in the works. Two humors and another dark one. Oh yeah, and TPTB stole my murderer! I was gonna use a SEAL! grrrrrr. Ah well, I have a long list of more stuff like that. Fun ways to die too. :D Unless you happen to be the deceased. Heh. 'Kay. On to the story. Oh yeah, I finally got to see Minimum Security. :D I loved the iguana and the wink. I hate Bitch Cassidy though. That's what I'm gonna call her from now on. :D

Um, yeah. The story...

Tony urgently knocked on Kate's door. He waited two seconds before jiggling the doorknob, which to his surprise gave. He stuck his head through the door and started to call her name. Then he saw her lying on the floor.

"Kate," Tony choked out as he ran over and checked her pulse. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found it to be steady.

"Kate, wake up." He gently shook her and she quickly rolled to an alert sitting position, her hand going to her gun. Her eyes softened when she realized who it was.

"Tony, what are you doing here?" she mumbled as she wiped the sleep from her eyes.

"I came to talk to you. And then I found you... You scared the hell out of me, Kate."

"Sorry. I -fell asleep."

"On the floor, I know." Tony paused. "Why?"

"I was just tired."

"Kate," Tony started.

Kate stood up. "Do you want coffee? I need some caffeine. I know it's not really good f-"

Tony stood up and spun her around to face him.

"You were raped, Kate. You need to talk to someone."

"I wasn't raped," she said with her eyes downcast.

"I saw the paper, Kate. That poem you wrote. I-"

Kate jerked her arm loose. "You went through my stuff?! Of all the inane bullshit-" she sputtered.

"I didn't go through your stuff." Tony corrected. "The notebook was left open on your desk." Tony waited for her to say something. When she didn't, he plunged on. "Do you wanna talk about it?" he quietly asked.

"It's not that." Kate dropped down on the couch and peered up at Tony with tears threatening to spill. "I can't, Tony. I can't-"

As the tears began to fall, Tony sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her. She sobbed uncontrollably as she leaned into him, and he rubbed her back and kissed her hair until they both fell asleep.

*********************************

Tony woke up two hours later to find Kate lying on her back with her head in his lap. He softly smiled as he stared down at her face, angelic and unmarred in sleep. He gently drew a hair away from her face. Then his stomach growled and he tentatively stood up and placed a pillow under her head.

'Let's see what Kate has to eat', he thought as he walked over to the fridge. Opening it, he snorted in surprise. All Kate had in her fridge was chinese food, beer, and ground beef. In the freezer he found frozen pizza, waffles, and ice cream. "And behind door number three..." Tony murmured as he opened the pantry. "Linguini, coffee, popcorn, chocolate," Tony chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Kate asked with a yawn. Tony grinned as he turned around. "You eat like a college student...I didn't wake you up, did I?"

"Not by being loud. I sensed you were gone."

"Sorry. Why don't you go take a shower while I fix dinner?"

"Alright. I'll only be a minute though."

"Suit yourself." Tony replied as he got out the tomato sauce and spices.

"Hey, Kate."

"What?" she yelled from the bathroom.

"Where are the pans?"

"In the cupboard beside the oven."

"Thanks."

"Need anything else?"

"No I got it from here."

Kate turned on the shower and Tony started dinner.

"Damn shirt," he muttered as he opened the basil. Exasperated, Tony stopped to remove his suspenders. He set them on the coffee table and rolled his sleeves up before washing his hands again and putting the pasta on to boil.

***********************

20 minutes later, Kate emerged from the shower in a softball jersey and black shorts with her blown dry hair up in a pony tail.

"Dinner's ready," Tony announced as he set their plates on Kate's dining room table.

"Wow. Tony, this is- I thought you'd make pizza."

Tony raised his eyebrows. Would you prefer pizza?"

"No. I just didn't know you could cook."

"I'm the son of an Italian woman who had no daughters. Go figure... Sit. Eat."

Kate sat down and Tony helped scoot her chair in before taking his place across from her.

Dum Dum Dum! Hehehe. Part coming soon. Hopefully. There's alot more coming and I swear that Kate WILL deal with what happened. Chapter 6 is just twice as long as all of my other chapters, so I've broken it into 2 parts. Sorry.

Did you guys get the joke in Minimum Security? Kate was wearing a UCLA jersey and Mark Harmon used to quarterback for their football team. :D
