When Gibbs saw the light come on, he moved quickly over, but stayed in the darkness. He watched the bastard place two chairs in the middle of the light. Moving back to a door, Ari opened it and Gibbs watched him bring something in.
"What are you doing," said a familiar voice to Gibbs.
It was only then that Gibbs stepped into the light to see Kate standing there next to Ari. She was alive. "Kate?" said Gibbs. The woman he hadn't seen in five years, the one he thought was dead.
"Gibbs," said Kate back. "Ari what is going on?"
"You're going home, Caitlin," said Ari. "I'm tired of hiding from your Sherlock. I just want to rest." Turning away from the two people who knew him the most, Ari walked away into the night.
Gibbs pulled Kate into his arms. He needed to have her as close to him as he could to get. Her face was buried into his chest. Not a lot of air, but warmth and comfort that both felt from each other.
"What is going on?" asked Gibbs. "Why did you pretend to be dead?"
Kate pushed herself out of Gibbs embrace. "I was asked to go undercover with Ari," said Kate. "I wasn't given a lot of notice. They rigged the bullet holes on me and sent me back to you. I was told not to say anything to you."
"Where have you been?"
"Spent the first six months training to be a computer geek," said Kate. "Plus I had to learn how to be Ari's wife."
Gibbs moved Kate over to a chair and had her sit down. "His wife?"
"Yes," said Kate. "How to sleep in the same bed with him, to know what his favorite food is. You know stuff like that."
This time Gibbs sat down in the other chair. "And?"
"And what?" said Kate. "We got along fine together. Though we are legally married, that was the one thing we couldn't fake. Having miscarriages was easy to fake. Having fake depression over the miscarriages, that was easy. Learning both Arabic and Hebrew at the same time was treat." Kate let a breath. Looking Gibbs in the face, she said "Could we get out of here?"
"Yeah, Kate we can," said Gibbs. The two got up and left the warehouse. Getting into Gibbs car, he said "You do realize neither DiNozzo nor Abby are going to believe you if you tell them you never had sex with Ari."
"I know," said Kate. "It will be good to see them too."
