Wow! Amazing! It's two chapters in one!
I don't really want to put a disclaimer.
Abby cell phone went off as the foursome made their way to the lions.
Tony was eating a hot dog and the lion was staring intently at him. Nervously he swallowed the remaining bits of meat and begun eating the bun.
The beginning of Abby's ring sounded like a lion roaring and this sent Tony into hysterics.
"Nice kitty." He coaxed. Gibbs and Kate who had not heard Abby's phone stared at him blankly, thinking up ways to leave without being associated with Tony.
"Hello?" Abby questioned into her phone.
"This is Deputy Carlson, Am I speaking to Abigail Sciuto? A man named Ducky told me this was her number." Deputy Carlson was not inclined to believe a man who said his name was Ducky.
"Yes… it is I." Abby had absolutely no idea why the police would be calling her.
"Your neighbor saw a man break into your house."
"What!" she yelped, making Tony, Gibbs and Kate hurry over.
"He claims to know you, but if you could come down to the station…" Deputy Carlson paused
"I'll be their A.S.A.P." Abby hung up her phone.
"What's going on?" Kate asked seeing Abby's face.
"Apparently someone broke into my house. They have him in custody, and he claims to know me. But, they want me to come into the station for some reason." Abby looked at them, "So, you guys enjoy the zoo and I'll call myself a cab."
"Nonsense. Gibbs will give you a ride!" Tony piped up. "Kate can stay here and I'll ride back in case you need someone to rough up the intruder a bit?" he asked hopefully.
"I'll give Abby a ride back, but Tony, you can Kate stay here." Both started to protest. "Here's cab money. Since if I came to get you you'd be home in about 9 hours, but you'd have to go straight back to work…"
"Here's a leash." Abby handed a black leash and collar to Kate, "You can use it on Tony." Abby looked at Kate's face. "You know, to keep him from running away…" she explained.
Kate gave a sigh of relief.
"Come one Abby." She and Gibbs left the zoo.
TBC…
Disclaimer- Hee hee hee. Once again I am NOT putting a disclaimer.
Abby and Gibbs had left nearly an hour ago and there had been no exchange of words between Kate and Tony.
Tony did not want to be at the zoo and Kate did not want to be at the zoo with Tony.
"Let's leave." Kate said getting out her cell phone and calling a cab. One was in the area so it would only be a five minute wait.
They sat in front of the zoo throwing peanuts at each other, for no apparent reason.
The cab pulled up and they got in.
"So, where too?" Asked the driver. He had random straggles of hair all over his visible body, and smelt like beer.
"Um.. NCIS headquarters." Kate replied, not wanting to give the man her home address.
"You two going to the same place?" the driver asked Tony spurting up a bit a spit when he said 'going'. It drizzled down his chin, but he paid no heed.
"Yup! Were together." He scooted closer to Kate for a dramatic effect.
"And you make a cute couple." He was met with stunned looks from both agents, "you know," he continued, "I was an agent once. My boss was a man named Gibbs. You, ever heard of him?"
"He's our boss." Kate told the man.
"Wow! Well, you two better be wary of Rule number.. What is it? 12?"
"Were not dating!" Kate shot back at him.
"I thought we were." Tony joked as Kate opened the door and stormed out.
"We won't be needing a cab." Tony told the man as he jumped out after her, thankful that the car had not been moving.
"What are you doing?" Tony asked Kate frantically.
"I'm walking." she told him, turning onto a side street and heading in the direction home was.
"Why?" He asked her , "You know, skipping works much better."
Kate rolled her eyes as she turned a corner.
"You can't walk back to Norfolk, ya, know." Tony thought he was stating the obvious.
"Watch me." She growled.
They heard a honk from behind them. It was the cab driver. He had been following them
"Have you changed your mind?" he asked pulling up to them.
"No." Tony shooed the man.
"I could use a drink." Kate sat down on a conveniently placed bench, "And I don't want to walk." She whined.
"I can cater to your needs." Tony smiled, "I have many contacts. Stay right here I'll be back in a second."
He was gone for four minutes, but Kate was still sitting there when he returned.
"It's a 30 minute wait, but it'll be worth it." he said looking down at her.
"What's a 30 minute wait?"
"A ride and drinks." he gave her an odd smile, "In the mean time, let's go to Tofu Palace." Tony was to dim to know what he had done to upset her, but he was going to fix it.
They sat eating tofu until Tony's phone rang.
"Hello?" He questioned. And responded "mmm-hum. Be right there!" Turning to Kate he said, "Our ride awaits us!" He put thirty dollars on the table and the two left.
Kate was feeling a bit better but what she saw next astonished her. In front of the Tofu Palace was a black limo.
"This isn't ours Kate." Tony turned her to the left, where a stretch limo was waiting. "This one is."
They climbed inside and the driver took off.
"And now for your drink?" Tony grabbed a bottle of wine and poured them both a glass.
TBC…
What will happen when they are drunk?
Why did I stop asking questions?
How many people will review?
Seriously, I need ideas, what should happen when they are drunk?
Should I make McGee stay in jail?
And…
What is the last question?
P.S. Unfortunately, It had to come to an end, and that end it coming near. There will only be a few more chapter of NA, so, I am looking for something to write. As a side project I will be doing an NCIS crossover with CSI but, I plan to write that one out completely before I post it so that I can add chapter at a reasonable pace. (Like every other day. I HATE having to wait for chapters on stories.) Kate's alive in the story, I already have the first two chapters and they are pretty good length. Anyways, so I was thinking about doing a series of either, a) Drabbles, that are not connected in any way or b) Gibbs' doctor orders him to not drink coffee for two weeks. Anyway, let me know which one you thinkI should do. Thanks!
