1A/N: Unfortunately I do not own anything that has to do with NCIS.
Ch. 10: Day 2 and 3 Undercover
The first morning undercover went quite well for Tony. He made it to his construction job and began working after he had been introduced to part of the workers. Unfortunately Michael Williams was nowhere to be found, at least when he got there. He did end up showing up after lunch and Tony ended up working next to him for the rest of the day. From the looks of him, Tony thought he was fairly good-looking, but not nearly as handsome as his brother Matt, which might be one reason Michael feels inferior when it comes to certain women. Now they just had to figure out why he was so interested in the navy women. Tony started a conversation with Michael while they were working.
"Hey I don't remember seeing you around this morning" Tony stated, looking over at Michael.
"That's because I wasn't" Michael responded, sounding a little annoyed.
"Oh well I am new here, so I don't really know everyone's schedule. My name is Tony, what's yours?"
Michael looked at Tony even more annoyed, but he still answered him,
"Mike"
"Well nice to meet you Mike. So tell me, what do you people do around here at night time, cause I just moved here and I have to say I'm not sure how you entertain yourselves."
"If you go to the downtown area there are a lot of bars and nightclubs. The good kind of clubs you know, the strip clubs." Mike smiled at Tony.
"Oh yeah, that sounds good to me, do the guys here usually go out after work and get some drinks or anything?"
"Sometimes"
"Well hey, you want to grab some drinks after work and show me the town, maybe we could hit the strip clubs?" Tony asked
"I don't think so, I got stuff to do, maybe another time."
"You wouldn't happen to be Matt Williams' brother, would you? Cause I just moved into his apartment building and he told me his brother worked for this construction company, and that his name was Mike."
"What if I was"
"Well then I would just like to say that your brother is a really cool guy. We hung out together for a couple of hours yesterday when we were helping a new lady move into the apartment."
"More than just you moved in yesterday?"
"Yeah, she's a navy chick. She's been gone for a year on some tour in the Atlantic and came back to find her boyfriend with another woman. She needed an apartment ASAP so Matt leased her one."
"Navy chick, huh? Is she hot?"
"Oh yeah, not anything like I expected a navy girl to look like."
"Well that's some good news. There aren't very many hot women in that apartment building."
"Well I haven't had a chance to observe the scenery, but I did get a chance to meet the woman across from me and she is a hottie too."
"Oh yeah, what's her name?"
"Becky. Tall, blonde, green eyes. But a real looker."
"Oh yeah, she's my neighbor. She's kind of slutty I think. I mean I see different guys there all the time."
"Yeah, she came off as a little slutty."
"Yeah, she hit on me when she moved in also."
"Well I have to say we are two lucky guys though."
"Why do you say that?"
"Well we have we have not only one hot neighbor, we have two. The navy chick is my new neighbor."
"Oh really"
"Oh yeah"
"Well I guess I will have to be sure to welcome her to the building, maybe tonight if she is lucky."
At that comment Tony raised his eyebrows and was beginning to get a bit nervous. 'What did he mean by that?'
"Oh yeah how are you going to do that?"
"I don't know, but she has been at sea for 12 months, so who knows what it could lead to right." Mike said a little smugly, smiling at Tony.
"Right" Tony said, managing a half smile. But in his head he was still screaming at himself for not being firmer with Gibbs on the whole undercover situation.
Tony and Mike made a little more small talk after that last conversation, but then it slowly tapered off and whenever Tony would catch a glimpse of Mike it seemed as though he were in deep concentration. This worried Tony because he assumed the worst and figured Mike was trying to figure a way to lure Kate in.
At 6 o'clock they all headed their separate ways, but Tony caught up with Mike.
"Hey you sure you don't want to go grab a couple of drinks?"
"No I'm really hungry and tired. I think I am just gonna head home and get some rest."
"Well then is it cool if I walk with you."
"I guess, but let's not make a habit out of it. I'm not big on the whole buddy system. That's my brother's department."
"No problem"
They walked in silence the rest of the way to the apartment. When they got to their floor Tony spotted Kate coming towards them. He looked at Mike, whom he could tell was carefully watching her.
"Hi Tony"
"Hey Kate"
"Who's your friend?" Kate asked smiling at Mike.
"Actually this is Matt's brother Mike. He works at the construction site with me."
Kate extended her hand and shook Mike's although he was a bit hesitant about it.
"Nice to meet you Mike. Your brother is a nice guy. He helped me unpack yesterday."
"Yep, sounds like my brother."
"Well I was just heading out for dinner with Matt, would you guys like to join us?" Kate asked them.
"Actually I really have to get back to my apartment. I am expecting an important phone call."
"Oh okay, what about you Tony?" Kate asked, smiling at Tony.
"I would love too."
Tony and Kate enjoyed a nice dinner with Matt, but Tony couldn't help but notice how much Matt was flirting with Kate, and it really ticked him off. But what really pissed him off was how much Kate was flirting back with Matt, it was almost like she was enjoying it, a little too much.
As they walked into their apartment building Matt began to escort Kate up the stairs when Tony stopped him.
"Oh hey Matt you don't need to worry about walking Kate upstairs. I mean I live right next to her so I don't mind walking her to the door."
"That's okay Tony I don't mind walking her upstairs. It's my honor to accompany such a beautiful woman." Matt answered, smiling at Kate.
Tony just rolled his eyes and as Matt turned his back to him, Tony began making faces at him and Kate, and luckily Kate was the only one who saw him.
When they got to her door they all stopped and then Matt turned to Tony,
"Goodnight Tony"
"Oh right, goodnight Matt, Kate" Tony replied making a certain face at Kate which luckily Matt didn't see.
As Tony was about to step inside his apartment he saw Matt lean in and kiss Kate on the cheek. He watched as Kate smiled at him and then he said,
"I always kiss a lady on the cheek on the first date."
"Well that's very respectful Matt."
"Goodnight Kate, I hope we can go out again sometime, and that way I can kiss you on the lips at the end of the night."
"Well we'll see. Thanks again for dinner, I had a wonderful time."
"The pleasure was mine." Matt smiled as he headed back down the hallway.
Kate turned to unlock her door when she saw Tony staring at her,
"What is your deal Tony?" Kate asked, looking at him a little annoyed, but with a smile on her face.
"The pleasure was mine" Tony said sarcastically, making fun of Matt, while stepping closer to Kate and leaning against the wall by her door, "I mean geeze Kate I could barely eat my dinner tonight because I had to listen and watch as Mr. Smooth Talker sit there sweet-talking you the whole night, like I wasn't even there."
"Tony"
"And to make matters worse you were flirting back with him. I mean c'mon Kate, are you saying you are attracted to him?"
"I know you did not just ask me that" she responded, a bit angrily, just as Mike came out of his apartment.
"Hey Mike, where are you heading to? Any of the bars?" Tony asked
"No, I have a meeting with someone, not that it's any of your business" he replied, passing both of them, but looking directly at Kate as he passed them. When he reached the end of the hall he turned back around again and looked back at the two of them, but Tony could tell he was looking directly at Kate.
"That guy gives me the creeps" Kate stated, when she was sure Mike was gone.
"Yeah well in case you forgot, he is the one you are supposed to be luring in, not his brother."
"Well in case you missed what just happened, I'm pretty sure he's noticed me, if you know what I mean."
"Oh I know he noticed you, I watched him kiss you just now."
At that comment Kate walked up to Tony and hit him in the side of the head,
"Not Matt you big jerk, I meant Mike. Will you focus on the task at hand." Kate said clearly annoyed.
Just as Tony was about to respond, Becky came out of her apartment and when she saw Tony she smiled,
"Hi Tony. Thanks again for helping last night."
"Oh, well I didn't really do anything."
"Yeah but just the fact that you came over and looked at my pipes to try and help was really nice of you."
"Don't mention it. Ever." Tony replied
"Well I got it fixed so they're working great just so you know. Oh hi, I'm Becky." she said as she looked at Kate.
"Kate, I just moved in here." She told Becky, giving her a half smile.
"Well Tony here is a really nice guy, and I'm sure he will help you with anything you need." Becky smiled as she headed down the hallway."
"I'll see you later. Don't forget my little offer Tony, it always stands, no matter what." she smiled as she went down the stairs.
Once she was out of sight Kate turned and looked at Tony with wide eyes and her lips were tight, and Tony knew he was in for it.
"So I see our little disagreement last night didn't stop you from enjoying yourself." Kate said, raising her voice..
"Kate c'mon" Tony said, reaching for her arm, but she jerked away.
"No, I'm glad to know that I'm easy to replace. At least now I know if anything ever happened to me the kids would have a new mother in no time." Kate said harshly as she turned to unlock her door.
"You can't be serious. Kate give me a break, you're blowing this way out of proportion. Nothing happened between me and Becky."
"Not yet anyways" Kate replied, as she finally got her door unlocked.
"That's not fair, we are undercover." Tony said, whispering the last part even though nobody in their hall was home, "I didn't want anyone to get suspicious, I was just being polite."
"I bet you were, and what was her offer she was referring to."
"It's not important, I mean she is a very attractive woman and she doesn't need me to remind her of that." Tony replied, instantly regretting what he had just said.
Kate had a very pissed off look on her face and said to Tony,
"Well then why don't you just ask her out if you think she is so beautiful, I mean we don't want you to blow our cover so you should probably go ahead and sleep with her so she doesn't get the wrong impression about us."
"Kate I didn't mean it like-"
"I don't want to hear about it Tony. I mean I should have known we wouldn't make it ten years before you found someone else, or cheated on me. I mean I'm surprised we made it the first five years."
"Well if that's how you feel then I will ask her out, and when I bring her home I'll be sure to give her a goodnight kiss in front of your door so you can watch through the peephole." he told her, his voice raised and highly pissed off.
"Bite me Tony" she replied, opening her door to step inside.
"With that attitude I just might. It's not like you haven't been flirting with Mr. Nice Guy downstairs." he said to her right before she slammed the door in his face as loud as she could.
When he finally got inside his apartment he felt bad about the whole argument, but she did blow the whole thing out of proportion. He decided to call her and try to apologize but instead of answering the phone she threw something very large at the wall between their apartments and Tony heard it shatter to pieces. He knew she was upset because she only threw things like that when she was extremely angry. And the last time she had thrown something big and breakable at him was right after they were married and he was undercover and this woman almost kissed him. But what Kate didn't realize was that he never let the woman actually kiss him. Needless to say there was much making up later that night. This time however Tony knew it wasn't going to be easy. He knew it was a bad idea to go into Becky's apartment, but of course he never listened to his brain when it came to women. He knew Kate was insecure about their relationship, she had been from day one. But it had been eleven years and Tony had never once intentionally cheated on her, and yet she still somehow didn't believe that she was pretty enough, or smart enough, or even funny enough to keep him around. Every time Tony thought about that it kind of upset him, he had given up everything to be with her because she was pretty enough, smart enough, and funny enough, and because he loved her, more than he had ever loved anyone else, ever. The trouble was she didn't always believe it, and he knew he was to blame, because he never cared about relationships, he was usually a one night kind of guy, a month tops, but for some reason Kate still didn't believe that he had changed and was totally dedicated to their family.
Meanwhile Kate was next door trying not to cry. She did believe Tony when he told her that nothing happened, but she didn't know how much longer Tony was actually going to keep saying no. Just the fact that Tony thought Becky was attractive bothered her because she didn't know how much longer he would stick around before he got tired of her and wanted someone younger and prettier.
She had just thrown a vase against the wall and watched it shatter into a million pieces and she felt like her life was doing the same thing.
The next day Tony went to work and he couldn't find Mike anywhere. He started asking around and he found out that Mike had called in sick that morning. This bothered Tony a little because last night he seemed fine. He thought about Kate, but she was supposed to be gone all day for a check in with the navy and in order to keep their cover Gibbs called in a few favors and she became part of the navy, so everyday she reports to her base where she "works" for the day.
When he got off work he went straight back to the apartment and when he got to his hall he saw Becky and she stopped to talk to him just as Matt passed him in the hallway heading towards what looked like Kate's apartment.
"Tony, how's it going?" Becky asked him
"Actually I'm doing okay, but I heard Mike was sick today. Have you seen him?" Tony asked, stealing a glance up at Matt and seeing him stop and knock on Kate's door.
"I haven't seen him today, but you should ask Matt."
"I think I will. Will you excuse me for a minute."
Becky nodded and watched as Tony met Kate and Matt halfway down the hallway.
"Kate, Matt" Tony said with a smile, "I was just wondering how your brother was doing. He called in sick today, but when I saw him last night he seemed fine."
"Oh I haven't talked to him since yesterday afternoon, but it's probably just a cold or something." he told Tony.
"I think I might check it out just to make sure he doesn't need anything" Tony replied walking towards Mike's door.
"Umm Tony I don't know if you have noticed, but my brother is a pretty private person and I'm not sure he would enjoy you checking up on him" Matt told him.
"Okay well maybe I will check on him before work in the morning." Tony replied "Where are you two off to?"
"I'm just taking Kate out for dinner."
"Didn't you two just go out for dinner last night?" Tony asked, looking straight at Kate with a look she knew all too well, which told her he was not at all happy about this.
"Yes we did, but I find Matt to be excellent company and seeing how I've been gone for a year, he's helping point out which new places are good to eat at." Kate told him, slanting her eyes at him and pursing her lips.
"Okay well you kids have fun, but not to much fun. Don't stay out too late and don't do anything I wouldn't do" Tony told the both of them, smiling at Kate.
"Okay then, we should really be going" Matt told Kate, as he looked suspiciously from Tony to Kate, and then turned to escort her down the hallway.
Tony stood there watching them and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He knew Kate would never let anything happen, but he was still jealous. Now he understood somewhat of what Kate felt whenever a beautiful woman would flirt with him. He usually didn't get jealous when other men would try and flirt with her because she would usually just rub it off and not flirt back with them, and Tony on the other hand would always be one to flirt with the women that came by, it was just part of his nature. And so it didn't bother him when when a man did flirt with Kate because he had nothing to worry about, until now. Now he was a bit worried, because he thought Kate might be out to prove to him that she can still get any guy that she wanted.
He turned around to find Becky still standing there and so he walked up to her and asked,
"Would you like to go to dinner. Nothing fancy just the little diner at the end of the block?"
She smiled and responded, "I would love to, just let me change real quick."
"It's no hurry. I'm going to grab a quick shower and then we can head out." He told her, as she opened her door and went inside.
Instead of going into his own apartment he walked up to Mike's door and knocked. After a few minutes the door opened and Mike was standing there and he looked fine.
"Hey Mike, I was checking to make sure you were okay and didn't need anything. They guys at work said you were sick."
"Actually I just had too much to drink last night and I didn't feel like going to work with a hangover."
"Oh yeah I know how that goes."
"If you'll leave me alone now, I'm kind of in the middle of something." he told Tony as he shut the door. Tony reached up and stopped him, recieving a very evil look from Mike.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Well I figured since you are feeling better and since I am here, maybe I could come in and have a drink with you or something?"
"I don't think so. Like I said I'm busy. Why don't you go ask that hot navy chick out for a drink"
"Well I would, but your brother beat me to it"
"Yeah he is pretty good at stealing women away from other men. My advice, jump in as soon as you can." he told Tony before he shut the door in his face. Tony gave up and decided to go get ready for his dinner.
Him and Becky left around 7 PM and decided just to walk down to the little diner. When they were eating Tony got a call on his cell phone. He saw that it was Gibbs calling so he excused himself and went outside to talk to him.
"Tony where's Kate?"
"I don't know. Having dinner somewhere with Mike's brother Matt."
"Well she isn't answering her phone and I need to let both of you know we found another body."
"What, Where?"
"About twenty miles from where you are. Her body was dumped at a local park next to a pond. We think he might have been trying to dump it in the pond, but got interrupted. So we might have a witness if they aren't already dead."
"Did you ID her?"
"Yeah, 35 year old female navy officer. Just came back on the tour of the Atlantic."
"The same one as Kate?"
"Yeah, and Tony"
"What"
"She had brown hair, brown eyes, and she was 5'7"
"Are you saying he's onto us and maybe he is trying to tell us something?"
"I don't know, but you and Kate need to be extra careful."
"Okay. Do you know when she was killed?
"Sometime last night. Ducky said probably around 4 AM. Why?"
"Well Mike didn't show up for work today because he called in sick. But when I went to check on him about an hour ago he looked fine and he told me he just had a hangover and that's why he didn't show up for work. Then when I tried to go into his apartment he said he was in the middle of something."
"Okay, well see if you can get in there somehow and search it, and keep an eye on him and Kate."
"Will do Boss"
Tony ended the conversation and then tried calling Kate, but she didn't answer so he left a message about the woman that was found, and he told her to call him or Gibbs back.
Once Tony and Becky finished eating they walked back to the apartment and once they got inside Tony saw Kate coming out of Matt's apartment.
"Goodnight Matt. Thanks for dinner. I had a wonderful time." Kate said as Tony and Becky passed her. Tony gave her a look which she ignored.
"I had a great time as well. Maybe we can do it again soon." Matt replied
"I would love too" Kate answered with a smile
Tony watched as Kate moved closer to Matt and kissed him on the cheek. He was shocked to say the least, but at least she didn't kiss him on the lips.
He noticed Kate followed him and Becky up the stairs to their apartments and Tony stopped outside Becky's door. He glanced in Kate's direction and noticed she was conveniently looking through her purse for her keys.
"Thanks for dinner Tony. It was nice." Becky stated, smiling up at him.
"Sure. Maybe we can do it again sometime?" Tony questioned, receiving a nod from Becky.
"That would be great"
"Well goodnight then" Tony said, as he leaned down and kissed her cheek. Becky however had different plans, and just as he was leaning back up she grabbed him around the neck and kissed him hard on the lips. He tried to steal a sideways glance at Kate, and he caught her staring with her mouth agape. He pushed Becky away as soon as he could, but obviously it wasn't soon enough. Right after he did, he heard a door slam shut, and when he turned around Kate was gone. Obviously she was the one who slammed the door.
"Thanks again for dinner Tony. Would you like to come inside?" Becky asked, a little too seductively. Tony swallowed hard, and croaked out,
"No, I don't think so, at least not tonight. It's kind of late, maybe another time."
"Okay then, but you have no idea what you're missing. Goodnight." She said seductively before opening the door.
"Oh believe me I do" he replied before turning and entering his own apartment.
He picked up his home phone and dialed Kate's apartment, but of course she didn't answer. So then he tried calling her cell, again no answer. So he called her apartment and left a message on her machine,
"Hey I know your pissed but I was just making sure you got the message from dad."
He hung up and waited for a response.
Kate heard the message and smiled, Gibbs was going to kill him for calling him their dad. She had gotten the message and was just about to call Gibbs because she didn't want to talk to Tony. After Gibbs filled her in on what was going on she called Tony's apartment phone, hoping he wouldn't answer, but he did.
"Hello Kate"
"Yes"
"Yes what?"
"I got the message and already talked to Gibbs about everything. Goodbye."
"Wait Kate, I have to figure out a way to get in that apartment and check it out."
"Fine. How do you want to do it?"
"Well which one of us is going to distract, and which one of us is going to break and enter."
"You know him better, so you distract and I will search."
"Fine"
"When is a good time?"
"I suppose when we are at work because everyone else in our hall is gone as well. It will be easier for you to sneak in."
"Okay, Tomorrow?"
"Yeah, how about around 1PM? That way I know for sure Mike will be gone. But I will call you and confirm when he is there."
"Okay, sounds like a plan."
"Kate I'm sorry about tonight, but it didn't-"
"Tony I don't want to talk about it. Let's just concentrate on the case." she replied gruffly
"But I-"
"Tony I don't want to hear your idiotic excuses. I am obviously not attractive to you and I am probably a bore to you, and so you decided to go for someone younger and hotter. It was only a matter of time." she told him harshly.
"Kate I-"
"Goodnight Tony" she said before hanging up.
'What have I gotten myself into' Tony thought to himself as he hung up the phone. Kate was pissed at him and he wasn't sure how he was going to fix things this time. I mean he would never intentionally hurt Kate. He knew Becky was attractive, but he would never leave Kate for someone like her. She didn't have the depth that Kate did. And he was disappointed that after the last ten years she still had doubts about how much he loved her, and about how long he would stick around. Tony got ready for bed planning the events of the next day.
The next day Tony went to work and luckily Mike was there. Tony stuck close to him all morning and at lunch. After lunch, around 1 PM Tony called Kate and gave her the okay.
"And make sure you're careful"
"Tony I can take care of myself, just make sure you do your part" she told him before hanging up.
Kate snuck out of her apartment and over to Mike's and picked the lock, just as Tony had taught her. It didn't take her long to get inside and once she was in, the scenery surprised her. As she looked around his apartment she could tell he was actually a clean person. He had a nice couch and coffee table, and a big screen TV, and everything was spotless.
When she opened his refrigerator she found many different foods and Kate assumed he could actually cook, but she also noticed the whole bottom shelf was packed full of beer. As she searched his bedroom she saw the only thing in there was a bed and a dresser. But on top of the dresser was a picture of Mike, Matt, a woman, and a child. Kate noticed the woman in the picture looked to be about 5'7 or 5'8, and she had brown eyes, and brown hair. The little girl in the picture looked to be about five or six years old and she had the same brown hair and eyes as the woman, so Kate assumed them to be mother and daughter. As she looked closer at the picture she saw what looked like a wedding band on a chain around Mike's neck. Kate decided they needed to do a lot more digging on Mike and Matt because she didn't remember finding anything about either of them having been married.
As Kate was searching the living room, she got a call from Tony on her cell phone,
"Kate he's on his way back. I tried to distract him, but he got really pissed off."
"But I'm not finished searching the living room."
"Who cares, just get out. He got a call right before he left and that's when he got so angry."
"Okay"
"Call me to let me know you got out."
"Kay"
As soon as Kate got off the phone, she headed for the door, but just as she was about to open it she heard voices in the hallway.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me at work." Kate recognized the voice as Mike's.
"Hey I didn't want to have to wait until 5 or 6 o'clock to talk to you." 'Matt' Kate thought to herself. She stood there for a minute listening, until she heard a key in the lock.
'Shit' she thought to herself. She ran into Mike's bedroom and quickly slid under the bed. She listened as they both came inside.
"Well what am I supposed to do. She wants more money." Matt told Mike
"You should of thought of that before you got her pregnant three years ago." Mike commented
"Hey I can't help it women find me irresistible." responded Matt
'Ugh, so Tony' Kate thought to herself.
"Yeah except in the end when you can't help but be a jerk" Mike replied
"Hey don't hate me because you can't get the ones that are beautiful" Matt laughed, "And besides I had told her it was just a one night thing. She's not someone I want to spend the rest of my life with."
"Oh and that navy chick is?" Mike questioned
"Hey you stay away from her, okay. I really like her. Maybe I'll marry her and bring my son to live with us."
"Yeah right. I'm sure Chelsea would go for that."
"Well she's the one who keeps asking for more money. She complains about how difficult it is to raise a child, so I will just take him off her hands."
"Like you would know what to do with him"
"Hey I've taken care of him on my own before"
"Yeah, what two weekends out of the year" Mike spit out, a little harshly
"Hey they live in New York so those two weekends are the only times she can bring him down here."
"Whatever, here just let me get the money." Mike said as he walked into his bedroom. Kate saw him standing by his closet and then stand on something. Then he got down and walked back into the living room.
"Here, don't say I never gave you anything. Just stop bugging me while I am at work."
"Fine, but you stay away from Kate. I've already got my eyes on her" Matt told Mike
"Well then I guess you better watch her carefully" Mike replied
Those words cause Kate to shudder. What had she and Tony gotten into. She waited there for another 20 minutes before she got out from under the bed. Then she found the chair Mike had stood on and she checked up in the closet. As she felt around the wall she found a little hidden plate that popped off. She couldn't quite see inside so she stepped up on the back of the chair and looked into the hole. She reached in and pulled out nothing but cash. She figured there must be over $100,000 there. She put the plate back on and quickly got down and put the chair up. She went to the front door and quickly left making sure to lock the door behind her. Then she went back into her apartment and took her phone out to call Tony. She saw that she had 3 missed calls, all from Tony. 'It's a good thing I remembered to put my phone on silent before they came into the apartment.' she thought to herself, as she dialed Tony's number.
"Geeze Kate, what took you so long?"
"Oh nothing, I was just taking my time and decided to grab myself a little snack before I called you."
"Kate that's not funny. I was worried."
"Oh really, Are you sure you weren't busy daydreaming about miss perfect to even notice that I hadn't called you."
"Kate would you drop it already."
"Oh sure, let me just erase the image of you, my husband, kissing another woman who is obviously more attractive than me."
"Kate I never said-"
"Tony just forget it okay. Let's just stick with the case."
"Hey you are the one who brought her up in the conversation"
"Fine, okay so I did, but let me just say it's hard to forget when you see your husband kiss a beautiful woman who is nothing like yourself in looks or personality."
"Kate, you don't know her personality"
"No, but obviously you do. Damn it Tony, how would you feel if you saw me kissing another man."
"I would beat the crap out of him. But it doesn't matter because I know you would never do that."
"Oh really"
"Yeah"
"Fine, let's just get back to the case"
"Okay what did you find?"
"Well there was a picture of Mike, Matt, a woman, and a little girl on his dresser. And I think Mike might have been married because it looked like there was a wedding band on a chain around his neck."
"We didn't find anything about a family when we ran him through the computer."
"I know. Then when I was hiding under the bed I heard-"
"You were hiding under the bed? Kate I told you he was coming."
"Yeah well he got there a lot faster than I thought he would. I mean you didn't give me much warning."
"Well I had to go on a break and sign out before I could call you."
"Anyways, I heard Matt asking Mike for money to pay one of his one night stands for their son."
"Wait, Matt has a kid also?"
"Yeah with some woman in New York named Chelsea. Supposedlyl he only gets to see him twice a year, but he is thinking about taking full custody of him because he is tired of Chelsea complaining."
"Wow"
"Yeah so after I was sure they were gone I found Mike's stash. He must have over $100,000 stashed in a secret compartment in his closet."
"Damn, that's a lot of dough for a construction worker to have stashed in a closet."
"Yeah it is. I'm going to call Gibbs and fill him in on what I found."
"Okay well then goodnight" Tony said halfheartedly
"Goodnight" Kate responded in the same tone.
After she filled Gibbs in he told her to relay to Tony that they should lay low for awhile until him and McGee found out more information on Mike and Matt.
