With You Forever-Part Two
Lincoln Memorial.
Tony Dinozzo sat at the steps that led up to the Lincoln Memorial. He was anxious to find out what was going on, and why Kate had directed him to this place.
He looked at his watch again. The bright blue display read 20:58. Two more minutes, he thought. He looked out at the night sky as it darkened, the stars growing brighter every second, winking at him.
"Have you been waiting long?" a female voice asked him.
Tony stood up and turned around. He was greeted by the sight of a very much alive Kate in a slinky black dress. She was breathtaking. All Tony could do was stare until he managed to find his voice.
"Kate? Kate!" he yelled out loud. Happily, he ran up the steps, picked her up, and spun her around once. Laughing, Kate hugged him back.
"In the flesh!"
Smiling like an idiot, Tony gently put her down and kissed her on the lips. It was long and full of passion. Running out of breath, she laughed out loud and said, "I guess you got my message."
"What happened? Where have you been?" Tony had so many questions to ask her that he sounded like a curious kid.
She grew serious, "I was in danger. You were in danger. Everyone I love was in danger. I had to leave so that no one would get hurt."
He looked into her eyes, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want to see you or anyone else get hurt."
"But we did. Your 'death' hurt everyone."
"I know. I saw."
Tony looked at her as she continued, "I was at the funeral. I saw and heard what you all did. I'm so sorry-"
He cut her off with another long kiss. "Do you have to leave again?"
She nodded, "Tomorrow. But as for tonight, well, let's just say there's only one person I want to spend it with." She led him back to his car and they took off.
Tony's apartment.
Hours later, they lay in Tony's bed, breathless and tired but happy. She had explained during the car ride that she would have to leave before the sun came up. That event would happen in only a few short hours, and Tony didn't want to waste any time.
"You know," he said in-between kisses, "It would be a lot easier if-"
Kate cut him off, "No, Tony. I can't stay, I already told you."
"I know. I was actually suggesting something else."
"Are you talking about-?"
"Vegas."
"We can't."
"Why not?"
"It would be hard on both of us. We should think of the time we have together now, not the time we wish we had." She started kissing him again.
"Fine. But-" he was cut off by her mouth on his.
They spent the last few hours they had together in his bed. When 0500 rolled around, they got up, showered, dressed, and had breakfast. Tony drove her to the airport, and they said their final good-byes.
"And remember," she said before they kissed each other good-bye, "No one is to know about this until the time is right and the government feels that it's safe enough for me to come back."
"I know, Katie. I know." He kissed her one last time and waved good-bye as she went through the automatic doors.
He knew that she would always be with him. Forever and for all eternity.
The End.
