Just an Ordinary (ish) Day

Part one: The Call

Caitlin Todd sighed as she looked at the enormous pile of paper work in front of her. It was going to be another extremely long and boring day. Well, at least Tony isn't being too much of an idiot today. She thought just as Tony asked her, "Hey Kate, what's with all of these creepy e- mails you keep getting?"

Ok, now he is being too much of an idiot. He hacks into my computer and reads my e-mails before I even get a chance to look at them! As she logged onto her computer she said, "Tony, do you really have to read my e-mail? There could be personal stuff that I want to keep to myself in there." He was about to answer but was interrupted by Gibbs walking into the bull pen and saying, "would you two stop flirting and get to work?"

Kate quickly looked down, relieved that she didn't have to continue her conversation with Tony. Her relief was very short lived however because she got an e-mail from Tony that said, so… who's Caitlinlover409? Kate shot a confused look at the desk across from her and wrote back, what the hell are you talking about? Tony rolled his eyes and wrote, look at your e-mails.

She looked at a couple of her e-mails and indeed, the messages were from Caitlinlover409 containing many badly written love poems for her. After looking through the rest of her e-mails, Kate found out that more than half of them were from Caitlinlover409. She glanced back at Tony who was staring at his computer screen with a shocked expression. Gee, I wonder what he's thinking about Kate thought as she wrote, Jeez, that's just a little bit creepy don't you think? A few minutes later, another message appeared on her screen. Just a little? I have the urge to track down the bastard and beat some sense into him.

This message made Kate smile as she wrote, Jealous now are we? She imagined a horrified look on his face as he wrote back, Oh yes, I'm so jealous of a man who writes, roses are red violets are blue, you're sexy and I want you. That's even worse than the original poem! Please, he's not even brave enough to talk to you in person! Kate rolled her eyes and thought, oh god… is there anything that men don't compete for? Just then her cell phone rang and she walked away from her desk to have some privacy (which was very hard to find here) and take her call. "This is special agent Todd" she said. A husky voice said, "Hello Caitlin. I've been watching you and we shall be meeting soon." With that, he hung up the phone.

As Kate walked back to her desk, she thought about the strange phone call .This phone call was creepy for many reasons, mainly because Kate knew how… 'Persistent' stalkers could be. Every person she saw could be watching her all the time. Hell, she wasn't even safe in her own home. A few years ago, she read a case file of some psycho in Vegas who hid out in a CSI's ceiling and watched him. He had even thrown the poor guy out of a window at a crime scene. God knows what could happen to her…

Kate's thoughts were interrupted by another e-mail from Tony. Are you alright? You look like you just got a call from the grim reaper. She glanced at her co-worker and was somewhat surprised to see a mask of genuine concern on his face. She quickly typed back, I think someone is obsessed with me Tony. Now it was Tony's turn to pale as he typed back, we'll talk about this after shift.

After three hours of nothing but good solid paper work Gibbs said, "Tony, Kate go home. You both look like hell." without looking up from his work. The two agents waited until they were both sitting in Tony's car before they started to talk about Kate's dilemma. "So, I'm assuming that your call was from caitlinlover409?" Kate just nodded, clearly terrified.

Tony thought about this for a minute and finally said, "Hey, you could come home with me and stay until you feel safe enough to go back home." This surprised Kate since she never pictured Tony doing something so considerate. "Umm… I don't know. I mean, I would love to but I don't think that it's really that serious." Tony just stared at her for awhile but then said, "Come on. I'm sure that you know what stalkers are capable of." Kate thought about protesting but; yet knew that Tony was as stubborn as her so she gave in. "Fine, but I won't stay for more than a couple of days."

Before they went to Tony's apartment, they stopped at Kate's apartment so she could pack some clothes. Tony waited for awhile in the living room but after ten minutes he started to get worried so he drew his weapon and opened the door to her bedroom. When the door was open, he found Kate standing on her bed inspecting her ceiling. "Kate? Are you feeling alright?" Tony asked, concerned about the mental stability of his friend. Oh god, I think she's snapped! Great, now I'm going to have to take her to the asylum. Hmm… I don't think she needs a strait jacket but you never know…

His thoughts were interrupted by Kate saying, "Nothing, I just read a case report of a stalker hiding in a CSIs ceiling and watching him from holes drilled in there. Now both of them were staring at the ceiling. After both of them were sure that there were no holes in the ceiling, they left for Tony's apartment.

Not even ten minutes after arriving at the apartment, Kate and Tony were engaged in what they would call conversation but what everyone else would call bickering. Tony was trying to rationalize. "No, you're the guest so therefore you get the bed." Kate countered this with, "Yeah but it's your bed!" This banter continued for at least five minutes until Tony finally gave in and let Kate sleep on the couch.

By the time Kate had settled in it was only eight o' clock so, surprisingly, Tony suggested that they watch a movie, which just so happened to be The Silence of the Lambs. Towards the end of the movie, when Buffalo Bill had cornered Clarice in the dark, Kate buried her head in Tony's shoulder and thought, great, now I'm scarred for life. Why doesn't this bother him? She glanced over at Tony and found him staring intently at the screen.

Just then, a gunshot rang out and Kate's head went quickly back to Tony's shoulder, stifling a scream. Tony laughed and said, "Relax, Clarice killed the bad guy and the girl is safe. Are you like this with every scary movie you see?" Kate, being very careful not to look at the screen, said, "No, it's just that I've been a little bit edgy lately." Oh shit… Tony had forgotten about the stalker thing. "Sorry Kate. You have to admit though, this is a classic!" Kate rolled her eyes and said, "This movie has to be the most disturbing thing that I have ever seen. It's no wonder why you like it so much."

Tony flashed his famous grin but soon the comfortable silence between them became awkward and Kate found herself getting lost in Tony's green eyes. Before she knew it, he started to move towards her. Their lips were less than a breath away when they were interrupted by the shrill ring of Kate's cell phone.

Dammit! The thought ran simultaneously through their minds as Kate answered the phone. "What?" She asked irritably. "Hello Caitlin, it wont be long now." and hung up on her. Tony, who had overheard the voice, put his arm around Kate's shoulder and said, "Ok… we are both sleeping in the bed then." Kate was terrified but, being Kate, she didn't show it and just nodded in agreement.

Twenty minutes later, they were both lying in Tony's bed being extremely careful to stay on their own sides. "Well, goodnight Katie and don't forget to put the lotion in the basket." Tony said, attempting to make light of their current situation. Kate wasn't in the best of moods so she replied, "One more word DiNozzo, and I'll tell you where you can put the lotion." Somehow this didn't come out as threatening as it was meant to and Tony just laughed and said, "Sweet dreams Kate."

After a surprisingly dreamless sleep, Kate woke up and found herself a little too close to Tony. They had both moved in the night and now his arms were around her waist and her head was resting on his chest. Once the daze of sleep had worn off, Kate realized her position and quickly moved to the other side of the bed preventing any more awkward situations. Hmm… this might be the excellent time to take a shower.

Ten minutes later, Tony was awake and wondering what the hell was going on. Why is my shower running? Maybe there is a stranger in my apartment! Wait a minute… why would a stranger be using my shower and not robbing me? Maybe they're a bum taking advantage of my water supply… Then he remembered that Kate was staying at his apartment. Tony looked at the clock and saw that there were still two hours until work so he could make breakfast.

Another five minute went by before Kate appeared behind Tony and asked, "What are you doing?" Tony turned around to face her as he answered, "I happen to be making waffles." This made Kate laugh as she said, "Ohh… so that's what is burning." Realizing that he hadn't checked on the waffles for quite awhile, Tony cursed and opened the waffle maker revealing very black, smoking waffles. Quickly turning the machine off, he got out two bowls and said, "Well, cereal was my second choice anyways."

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. Tony looked through the peephole and said, "Hmm… I wonder what my neighbor wants." as he opened the door. The second after it was opened, the dead body of Tony's neighbor fell to the ground and revealed what had been behind it, a large man who was holding a gun. A sickly sweet smell filled the room accompanied by a heavy silence which was soon broken by a single gun shot.

A/N: Oh my god! Who was shot? Did anyone die? What about the waffles? Find out tomorrow (or the next day… it depends on reviews). Mwahaahahahaha… I know I'm so evil. This is just like going to a commercial break when the show is getting good (like when they had Nick buried in the box on CSI and we didn't know whether he was going to live or not and they went to a stupid commercial break! And you think I'm evil…) so… review away and… I don't know stand in front of a large crowd and do the disco (yes I have done that before… leave me alone I have no life) All I have left to say is … you can dance you can jive having the time of your life ooo ooo ooo see that girl watch that scene digging the dancing queen…. AMANDA OUT!
