Kate's Apartment 18:30 hours
Kate had finally gotten all of Vince's stuff settled down in the spare bed room. Vince was in the living room watching Bob the Builder when Kate came out of the spear room. She decided to make dinner. She had just put the noodles on when the phone rang.
Ring…Ring…
"Hello?" says Kate.
"Hi Katie" replies Tom.
"Tom, Where are you?"
"I'm at the airport"
"Where are you going?"
"Away Katie"
"Why?"
"Kate I didn't call to play twenty questions with you. I wanted to talk to Vince."
"Ok, hold on" says Kate.
"Vince, daddy wants to talk to you"
"Yay, daddy!" says Vince as he reached for the phone.
"Hi daddy"
Kate watches Vince but turns away when the water in the pot starts to overflow. She turns the element off and gets a strainer. She strains the noodles then puts them into a bowl. She can still hear Vince talking in to the phone. Kate puts the sauce into another bowl and places them on the table trying hard not to ease-drop on what Vince is saying. Kate grabs the pates when she hears Vince say goodbye. He walks over to her and hands her the phone.
"Daddy said he wants to talk to you again." Says Vince as he goes back to watching Bob the Builder.
"Tom, please tell me why you are leaving." Says Kate.
"Ok, Kate I guess you deserve to know at lest that. Don't tell anyone but I owe a few guys a lot of money. Now they are looking to collect. Vince might get hurt if he stays with me." Explains Tom
"Tom, I can help you pay them."
"No Kate you can't get involved."
"But Tom…"
"Kate the reason I wanted to talk to you was to say that I'm sorry for not being there when you needed me and for not backing you up when you joined the secret service."
"No Tom I'm sorry for not believing that we could make it and just giving up on us."
Flight 92 to Las Vegas is now boarding.
"Ok, well I have to go Kate. Take good care of Vince."
"I will"
"Kate"
"Yes?"
"Just remember that I will always love you both no matter what."
"I will"
"Good-bye Katie"
"Bye Tom" she says before she hears the disconnected tone.
Kate hung up the phone. Vince walks over to her and gives her a hug. They sit down at the table and ate their food making small talk. Vince would ask questions about Gibbs and Tony. After dinner they decided to watch the Wizard of Oz before they went to sleep. Halfway through the movie Vince was fast asleep. Kate stopped the movie and turned the TV off. She picked up Vince and carried him to the spear room and tucked him under the blankets. Kate went to her own room and got changed and laid under the blankets thinking about Tom had told her about it not being safe for Vince anymore. He couldn't be in that much trouble could he? Kate thought to herself. She thought about it for a while until sleep finally claimed her.
