Kate stretched out in her bed, only to hit something large on the other side. Puzzled, she sat up to see something, someone lying there in the dim light of 6am. She turned on the light and the person groaned. She leaped out of bed and the person shot up.
"What's up babe?" said the smirking face of the one and only, Tony DiNozzo.
Kate shot up, breathing hard. She quickly looked beside her to find the side of the bed empty. She glanced at the alarm clock, telling her it was 3 am.
"How am I meant to go to sleep after that!" She sighed, switching of the alarm set for 6 and got ready to go to work.
The sound of her shoes as the echoed through the silent car park, she walked to the elevator and pressed the up button. The car park was empty except for one car; which many believed lived there. It belonged to Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
Stepping out of the elevator into the quiet bullpen. Her fellow co-workers were not expected to arrive for another two and a half hours. She walked to her desk and sat her bag down. She was flicking through some new paperwork when a voice behind her made her jump.
"Couldn't sleep Agent Todd?" Gibbs questioned her, holding a cup of coffee.
Regaining her composure and smiled. "Nightmares, though I may as well get stuck into the never ending mountain of paper work…"
"Well, it also saves me a phone call. DiNozzo will be here in half an hour, McGee 12 and Abby in 30. We have a case…"
An hour later they were crowded around Gibbs desk. Kate glanced over at Tony. The dream haunted her, puzzled by what it meant. He just grinned he goofy, schoolboy grin. She couldn't help but smiling back.
"Right, we have finally have a lead on the Back Ally case. Two men, Jason Stakes and his brother Marcus 'Mark' Stakes. Both have no record of whereabouts during the time of the murders of the 3 Petty Officers and one Lieutenant Officer…" He handed out pictures. "The men both live in the same apartment buildings. Now, we will be sending Agent Todd and Agent DiNozzo undercover for surveillance. You will go to Abby for you new identities and back ground info"
"I better not get Galbert Briimer again… that was the worst" He shuddered, walking to the elevator with Kate.
"Oh, I thought it was rather hmm unique, just like you Tony" She said, glancing sideways smirking as Tony walked on without a word, scowling.
They walked into Abby's office. It was only 4 in the morning and her heavy metal rock music was already pulsing around the room. Abby turned it down as they walked in.
"Hey Kate and Tony. Spoze you're here for you new identities?" She asked.
Kate nodded "Yep, fire away"
"Kate you will be Lieutenant Officer Katrina Parker, you've been in action in Iraqi for 3 years and have just returned. We have rigged it so you leasing the apartment next to the brothers. And Tony…" She grinned.
Tony eyed her "I don't like the looks of this"
"You are Mike Barbarow"
"Not bad" he grinned at Kate.
"You've applied as the job as the apartment's cleaner and fix-it man"
Kate cracked up laughing as Tony's face dropped.
"Oh no…"
