Chapter Eight
Landon's lifeless body stayed limp against the ground. Kate's pale face grew paler with each tick of the clock. She pulled the trigger. She killed her first love. Kate dropped lifelessly to the earth, sinking in through the dirt, her heart pounding in her head. Nothing she had ever done, had caused her so much pain as this had. Tony stood their still trying to recollect the events of the last ten minutes. Kate's sobbing grew harder and harder until they were uncontrollable. Tony replaced his gun to its original location in his back pocket and slowly gathered up the courage to go to Kate. He kneeled beside her, letting her know that he was there for her to cry on. Sure enough, Kate collapsed into his arms, crying deeply. "He was going to kill you Tony. I could tell he was about to pull the trigger. I couldn't let that happen." Tony looked at her lovingly, but surprised too. "I know Kate, I know." "This wasn't supposed to happen." She sobbed over and over again not fully understanding what had taken place. "I killed him again. OH GOD! I killed him again." Her voice cracking at this realization. The two silhouettes were hugging each other, until the brunette cried her self to sleep an hour later. Tony lifted her weightless form and carried it to the house.
"Kate?" A soft stroking woke her up. "Hmm?" "You ready to go home?" Tony stated by her bedside. Flashing lights surrounded the house. Police sirens drained the conversations encased throughout the 50 yard range now taped off. Gibbs entered the room just as Kate staggered up and threw herself on the chair, her headache increasing. "All right. Um… Kate I owe you an apology!" Gibbs scratched out heavily. "You do?" Kate and Tony said in unison. "I shouldn't have put you in this danger." Kate held out her hand to stop him, overwhelming Tony and Gibbs. "Don't worry. It wouldn't have happened sooner or later. Do I need to get you a statement?" She added upon seeing the cop along with Tobias Fornel. "Yeah if you don't mind doing that now?" The cop said sincerely. She would have never gotten this much courtesy if she wasn't working at NCIS. She walked out the door, her face still tear-stricken but she acted like nothing happened. Tony and Gibbs glared at her through the broken glass window. Her clear vision was so indifferent to all the other victims they had talked to, and that wasn't natural. After a few minutes, Kate turned to see Tony leaning on the inside panel of the window gleaming at her. She gave him a little smile before getting attacked by Abby. "Kate. I can't believe it. How could that happen are you okay?" Abby stuttered through. "Abs. I'm fine. I'm fine." Her voice began to crack once again but before she could start the water works again, Tony jumped over the windowsill and put his arm around Kate's shoulder. "Tony! Thank god everybody is okay." She stopped suddenly looking at Kate. Kate looked like she was in deep shock all of a sudden. Her memoirs to Rick, her goodbyes to Rick, and her condolences to Rick, all speeding through her mind, racing each other in a vortex of unhappiness. Gibbs appeared by their side, not daring himself to comfort Kate, said that they all needed to go to the van so they can be dropped back to the NCIS headquarters. "Gladly!" Tony tugged on Kate's short sleeve shirt to move her along. With one last look to the woods, she saw the paramedics carrying Landon's body on a stretcher into the ambulance car as if erasing him from the face of this earth. "I'm sorry!" Kate chocked out before moving to her respective area of the van.
Throughout the whole ride, nobody said a world although Tony tried a buncha times to get some conversations. He even started one with Probie, but was cut off by Gibbs's dare to say one more word look. The van sped through cars and trucks, dangerously pushing it's way through the packed street, searching for an empty spot to squeeze through. Soon, the van pulled to a jerky halt and the passengers were thrown out. "Kate. I just want to say that I'm really sorry." Gibbs said when he took Kate aside while everyone piled up in the elevator inside. "WOW! That's the second time you've been nice to me Gibbs. Were gonna have to change your name now. That second b is gonna have to go." Kate laughed out. "No no Kate! That b is staying. Just wait till your back at work in a couple days and your going to have to do nothing but paperwork." Gibbs growled playfully and rushed in the elevator. Kate stood for a second and then was ushered in by Abby.
Kate sat in her seat, happy to finally be at her home away from home, with Tony sitting across from her, and Gibbs and McGee in their usual spots. "Katie!" Abby called climbing away from the elevator a huge tub in front of her face. "What's going Abs? Whatcha got there?" "Kate. You've had a hard day. All hard days require ICE-CREAM!" Kate laughed whole heartedly for the first time in the last twenty-four hours. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Tony perk up at the words. "NO TONY!" Abby said automatically not even looking at Tony. "But I had a trying day too remember." He pouted. "Fine." So together, Kate, Abby, Tony, Tim and even Gibbs along with Ducky polished off a whole tub of double chocolate fudge ice-cream. Looking back Kate knew in her heart that this was her family. The place where she belonged.
At around 10, Gibbs told everyone to leave, and he left himself. Right before they left, a messenger brought Kate a note. Scribbled in recognizable letters by Rick himself, were the words "I'm Sorry! Love the reincarnation," The messenger said that this was delivered a few hours ago, and he was told by a guy to only give this when Kate got back. That's what he did. Kate felt her heart pounding faster then ever and could seen feel Tony's presence looming over her. "The pain never goes away does it Tony?" Kate turned around. "No I don't believe it does." Then, she willingly let herself fall into his arms. "I love you Kate." "I love you too Tony!" Kate finally was swept off her feet. Finally let love in after six years. Finally admitted to her fantasy of her Tony getting married. Voluminous cheering erupted all around them. Staff and team mates were clapping loudly. "ABBY!" Tony and Kate yelled together and then burst out laughing. They were each others. No one else's but each others. The following week, Tony proposed to Kate at a candle-light dinner with champagne and everything. Two months later, they got married and they lived happily every after.
The End!
