Thanks to everyone who reviewed the first two chapters. I know that it seems confusing but hopefully you'll soon understand.

Opening his eyes, Tony stared at the glass ceiling of the isolation room. Why do I keep dreaming about Kate being dead? he wondered. Slowly he began to sit up, knowing full well that he was still weak.

"Hey, sleepy head. I never thought you'd wake up?" Kate said walking into the room carrying a tray with some food and orange juice.

"Here, you should eat something or at the very least drink some juice." She hands him the orange juice and Tony smiles at her.

"Thanks Kate."

Kate notices the sad look on Tony's face. She wonders if he is still upset from the nightmare he had earlier. "Tony, are you ok?"

Tony gives Kate one of his signature smiles and nodds his head. "Boy if I didn't know any better, I'd say that you love me Kate."

In Kate's mind, she was thinking Is it that obvious?, but after many years as a secret service agent and two years with NCIS, she was able to hide any feeling that she didn't want to have shown. Smiling and playfully slapping Tony's arm, she replied, "Only in your dreams DiNozzo."

Tony finished the rest of the juice and ate some of the food that Kate brought him. When he was finished Kate went to take the tray out of the room. She ran into Gibbs just as she was outside the isolation room.

"How is he?" Gibbs asked.

"Physically he's getting a lot better, but ..." Kate wasn't so sure if she should tell Gibbs or not, but she wanted to make sure Tony really was ok. For some strange reason she had this weird feeling that he wasn't. And it scared her.

"But what?" asked Gibbs.

"Well...he said that last night he had a nightmare about me dying and he seemed really upset about it. Then when I brought him some food, I got the feeling that he isn't completely ok."

Gibbs knew exactly what to do and walked into the room. The nurse was in there taking Tony's blood pressure.

"Hey Boss" Tony greeted.

"DiNozzo...how are you feeling?"

Nurse Emma gave Tony a smile and walked silently out of the room.

"I'm great Boss."

"That's not what I heard." Gibbs replied back, giving Tony the look that meant I won't leave until you tell me.

Tony sat silently, trying to plan out what exactly to say. Gibbs could see the wheels turning in DiNozzo's brain and knew that it must be important if Anthony DiNozzo was thinking before replying.

"I had a bad dream about Kate."

"What happened?"

"Ari"

At the sound of his name, Gibbs automatically tensed up. "What about Ari."

"He killed Kate." Tony continued to tell Gibbs about his dream. At the end, both men sat quietly. Tony looked at the floor, worrying about what Gibbs would say. There was rule number #12 to worry about: NO DATING OTHER AGENTS.

Gibbs slapped Tony upset the head.

"OUCH! Boss, what was that for?"

"Just tell her DiNozzo." And with that Gibbs left the isolation room with a stunned Anthony DiNozzo staring after him.
