A/N: Please read and review!
By the time the agents took their lunch break, Gibbs still wasn't back. Kate was getting really worried, but she knew that Gibbs could take care of himself. Kate ate her lunch quickly, then went onto her computer and printed out five invitations. She then ran up to the morgue and gave on of her make-shift invitations to Ducky, who accepted it graciously while saying,
"Thank you Caitlyn, I would be honored to attend your birthday party. I will see you tonight."
"I can't wait Ducky," Kate said over her shoulder as she headed to the forensics lab. Abby was htere and Kate gave her an invitation. Once she had read it Abby exclaimed,
"I'd love to go Kate. This is gonna be so cool and hinky!"
Kate left the lab in search of McGee. Even as she retreated into the elevators she could hear Abby talking about how much fun the party was going to be. Once she was in the bullpen Kate found McGee and Tony sitting at their desks eating their lunch. She went to McGee first, saying,
"McGee, I'm having a birthday party at my house tonight at my place, and Ducky and Abby are coming. Would you like to come?"
She handed him the invitation. McGeeread it and replied,
"Ok, Kate. Thanks. So I'll see you tonight then.
"You can count on it."
Tony perked his head up. He had only heard the last part of the conversation, where McGee had told Kate that he'd see her that night. Were Probie and Kate going on a date? He had to find out. Smiling his most charming smile, Tony walked up to Kate and asked,
"So, what about me? You're gonna see Probie tonight and not me?"
"If you really want to Tony, you can come to my house tonight."
Kate sighed as she pulled out her invitation and handed it to Tony. He read it and said, "Whooo hooo! Party at Kate's everybody!" He shouted to the empty bullpen. Nobody was there, they were all out at lunch, a luxury that McGee, Kate, and Tony didn't have because of all the paperowrk they had to do. "See ya tonight Kate", he added before heading back to his desk and the mountain of paperwork that awaited him. Gibbs still hadn't arrived, so Kate just left his invitation at his desk, then went back to her desk to finish her paperwork, wondering all the while where Gibbs was.
