McGee POV
I sat on my couch in front of my television as I realized that I hadn't been there to see it all and deep down, it hurt me that I wasn't there to see Kate that one last time. Although she hadhelped Tony bug me almost every day, she had truly been one of the sweetest people I knew. Past-tense... never pretty.
The first time I saw Kate, I had been scared to death of her. Then when she found me under her desk... whew! I really never looked up her skirt; well, not purposely. I thought I was going to die when that happened. Thankfully, she wasn't as mean as I thought she was and she had spared me my life... and my manhood. But I came close to losing my ear.
Kate had this smile, that could light up a room and she always used it, even when she was trying so hard to be pissed off at me or Tony. It never worked. She always cracked. Plus, she had this way of making the rest of us smile right along with her; surprisingly, even Gibbs.
I didn't know Kate as well as everyone else, but I still felt a pain in my chest when I thought of her. A great person through and through, then all the sudden... gone. Taken away from us all just like that. As unfair as it was, we were going to have to learn to accept it and I had.
Picking myself up off my couch, I moved over to sit in my wooden chair; my typewriter on the desk before me. At first my fingers moved slowly over the old keys and then, as more memories and adventures flooded my mind, my fingers began to move more rapidly.

She deserved a great story, one that portrayed her as the hero she truly was and I was going to write it for her.
