I know, I know. It has been like forever since I updated and I am really sorry. I wrote chapter 12 last night or actually about 3:30 this morning, but I guess I was so tired that it eithergot saved to the wrong folder or I just didn't save it at all. That's okay though because it sucked. Trust me... this version is better.

Also, I might be motivated to update chapters sooner if some of you guys visit my home page. You have to take the polls and sign the guest book too or it doesn't count.

Kate looked at him across the table. He looked so gorgeous that she just... she just couldn't think about anything else. She saw his mouth moving, but for some reason, she heard nothing. It was as if seeing him meant that she couldn't hear him.

"Kate? Kate? Am I boring you?" Andy waved his hand in front of her face to try and snap her back into reality.

"Huh? Andy, oh no. I am just... the case. Lately, it is all the occupies my mind," Kate lied defensively.

"Oh. So you know Nick pretty well? I mean, did you?"

"I knew him, but I didn't like him. I mean at first he was okay, but then after what he did to Abby, I hated him." Kate took a bite of her salad. "Did you like him?"

"Yeah, he was a pretty decent guy. Never had any complaints from neighbors, never too loud, usually paid his bills on time," Andy explained.

"Usually?"

"Well lately I had started to recieve his payments later and later. The letter that was up in his room with just the date on it was like a final notice."

"Why didn't it say final notice on it?" Kate questioned, curious.

"Because technically it was kind of a final notice of his final notice. Like a reminder. I had already given him a final notice, but a few months ago he began requesting that I send him a reminder or whatever. Nothing special, just to let him know that the payment date was coming up. I already explained all this to Agent Tibbs or whatever his name was."

"Gibbs," Kate corrected.

" Right, Gibbs. Anyway, so enough about the case. How about you?"

"What about me?" Kate asked, flirting slightly.

"How old are you? Or is that question a no no?"

"You can ask, but I may not tell the truth."

"You would lie to me?"

"Twenty-nine," Kate answered honestly.

"Really? That the truth?"

"That's the truth. So, how old are you Mr. Hallot?"

"Twenty-eight. I'll be twenty-nine in a few days."

"Wow, most of the guys I date are older than me."

"Really Agent Todd? You have never robbed the cradle?"

Kate lay curled in her bed, her blue and green sheets wrapped around her. Rolling over she saw the face of Andy Hallot. God, he is handsome. Normally, she waited awhile before sleeping with a guy, but she had a feeling that Andy was different. There was just something about him that made him all the more desirable. Maybe it was the fact that he respected that she worked a lot. He already knew first hand how crazy her hours were. Or maybe it was becuase he held a striking resemblance to someone else that she knew. Who it was, she couldn't place. But as Andy opened his green eyes and ran his hand through his dark brown hair, she realized that maybe she just liked him for him.

"What time is it?" Andy asked groggily, placing a hand on her side.

"About 2:30... AM."

"Ugh," Andy groaned.

"Tired?"

"No way. You?" Andy asked, lifting his eyebrows suggestively.

"Not in the least," Kate replied as she kissed him on the lips and rolled on top of him.

I know that Tate shippers may not be happy with this whole Kate and Andy thing going on, but it all fits nicely into my plot. Oh and I know that in real life Sasha is actually thirty, but I wasn't sure how old they made her on the show so I just took a year off.
