While Gibbs is away I think about the time that I surprised Kate by knowing more information than her, especially since she thought that I was asleep all morning. That case was so much fun, for many reasons and Kate and I got to bond while we were down in Paraguay.
"You miss her that much huh, Tony?" McGee asks as he stops searching his computer for leads in the case files.
"Yeah, McGee I do," more than anyone will ever know. I continue to peruse the case files, and than an idea hits me, Ari has a GPS locator in his phone, all we would have to do is call him and keep him on the line long enough to take him and the cell by surprise.
I think about telling Gibbs, but then as he re-enters the bullpen, from MTAC he says, "Get your gear we're going to Newport News, make sure you grab vests."
"You found Ari, boss?" I ask even though I know the answer.
"Yeah Dinozzo, Fornell is joining us, along with two other teams and one FBI sniper. It's about time I get top kill the bastard."
McGee and I grab our gear and as I pick up my bag I am hit with the loss of Kate once again, knowing she will never be walking out besides us. I swallow the lump in my throat and for the first time follow McGee into the elevator. We ride down into the garage in silence, and as we exit the elevator we see Gibbs and Fornell waiting by the car.
"Get in boys we don't have all day. Tony are you sure you're up to this?"
"Yeah boss I'm sure, this is for Kate."
