chapter 3 (dun dun dun...)
The next morning, they decided to go out to breakfast because Tony didn't have anything remotely edible in his apartment and he could actually move again. After some mindless conversation, Tony came to a realization.
"Hey, how many days did Gibbs let you have off?" he asked.
"He told me to take two weeks off. Apparently he's bringing in the special agents we met awhile ago, Kelsie, Laura, Sara and Lauren to help him catch that bastard Ari." She quickly added, seeing the look on Tony's face. It didn't make him feel any better.
"Two weeks? I really look that bad huh?" He was a little offended that Gibbs thought he was so weak. Kate rolled her eyes at his reaction. Men are so dense. She thought before she said,
"Tony, you had a fifteen percent chance of surviving the plague, you came back a week early from sick leave, and you almost got caught in a car explosion. I'm surprised that you aren't completely bed ridden."
He considered this for a while before saying, "Yeah, I guess you're right." After they ate and paid the bill, Tony suggested that they go for a walk because he had been spending too much time in his apartment lately. They walked in silence for awhile until Tony asked, "Kate, why did you pretend to have the plague?"
She looked away and answered, "Because I didn't want to leave you." He was about to pursue the matter more but Kate's cell phone started to ring. "Hello?" she answered. "It's me." Gibbs said, sounding pained. "Ari is dead but he shot me and killed one of the fill-in agents, Kelsie I think." Kate was shocked, Kelsie had been such a good friend and she couldn't imagine that she was gone, but she still had to ask, "Are you alright Gibbs?"
She knew that she really shouldn't have asked that question but she was worried. "Of course I'm alright. The bastard got me in the arm and they forced me to go to the hospital." He said, followed with some unpleasant words describing the medical technicians. "Well, at least you're alright. Tony and I will be at the hospital in about twenty minutes." Gibbs started to protest but Kate hung up on him.
She quickly filled Tony in on the situation and they headed to the hospital. When they got to Gibbs' room, he was yelling at the doctor for "Not knowing what the hell he was doing." And Kate had to struggle not to laugh which was better then Tony, who was laughing hysterically. Gibbs finally realized that his co workers were there so he started to yell at them. "What the hell are you two doing here? Tony, you look like hell, go get some rest. What are you two staring at? I'm fine!"
Then Abby walked into the room and Gibbs visibly relaxed. It was weird how Abby could calm him down. Kate wondered how she could have this effect on their boss. Maybe it was because she was a Goth… oh well, the world would never know. After making sure that Gibbs was fine (according to him at least) Kate and Tony went back to his apartment. It was only twenty hundred when they got back so Tony suggested that they watch a movie (what a surprise).
The movie was only half way through when Tony asked, "Kate, were you telling me that you wanted to stay with me even though you could have also gotten the plague?" Kate sighed and thought dammit, I thought that he would forget as she tried to explain. "Well, you know we've been working together for awhile and even thought you annoy the hell out of me, you're one of my… closest friends."
She was going to say more but she couldn't remember what it was a second later because Tony had gently put his lips on hers. For a second, her mind drifted to rule number twelve, no dating in the office, but then she thought oh what the hell… and let him kiss her. After a minute he carefully pulled away and whispered, "I've wanted to do that for the longest time." She searched his beautiful green eyes with her brown ones and finding no evidence of the chance that this was a crueljoke in them she smiled and replied, "What took you so long?" This made him smile and kiss her again deeply and passionately before carrying her to his bedroom, the movie long forgotten.
About a year later, Tony and Kate got married and went on their honeymoon in the tropics. The warm breeze gently brushed her face as she walked down the beach hand in hand with her husband. "This is a little bit better then Paraguay huh?" he asked, making her laugh. "I don't know, they don't sell L-pods here and the hotel doesn't have giant cockroaches around every corner." She added. "Well at least there's one good thing about this place; we know that Gibbs isn't watching us." She laughed again and looked back on the events that had led to their relationship. She realized that she didn't regret being with Tony instead of staying at work. Kate thought about the agent who had been killed and a shiver ran up her back. What if one of us had been on that roof instead of Kelsie? She quickly got that thought out of her mind and thought about the new life she had in front of her with Tony. She looked up at him and smiled, never really knowing just how lucky she was. The End
So… what do you think? It's corny I know andIkinda gave up on the spacing at the endbut whatever. Mwahahaha… my twisted mind has no end.
