Chap 3
On the side lines McGee and a still panting Tony had found a seat on the boards where they watched their boss and co-worker take one hit after another. Tony turned towards McGee and got out his wallet.
"I bet you a 20 Gibbs takes her down." He fished out his twenty-dollar bill and showed it to McGee who merely stared from the note to Kate and Gibbs.
"I don't know man she has a lot of rage…I take that bet." He got out a matching 20 and they shook and sat back to watch the show. "You do realize if Kate wins then that would mean she could beat the shit out of you too." McGee said taking a sip from his water bottle and re-placing it at his feet.
Tony's eyes sprung open and he glared at McGee.
"She could beat you too Probie."
"Yah but I'm willing to admit it, but would you admit it to Sarah you got beaten by a girl half your size and weight?" Tim smiled at his own input he liked decking McGee, and if he was lucky he'd deck Tony's trust funds too. They washed the group bounce in place concentrating on what to do next. "I'll raise you another twenty?" McGee asked adding another note to the stack.
Tony shrugged. "Couple more lap dances tonight." He added his remaining twenty to the pile.
Gibbs's back was turned to hers when he fetched his water; she remembered the cheap shot he did on her at the beginning. She ran towards him, at the least minute from behind Gibbs grabbed her arm and sent her flying in front of him, landing on her back. She cringed in pain upon landing on a hard surface, matted it may be it still hurt like a mother. She stayed there breathing hard, not moving.
"Way to go Boss!" Tony yelled from the sidelines, McGee was about to give him the money when he saw Kate outstretch her leg and brought it slamming behind his keen joint. Gibbs fell down beside her and also yelped in pain. They just stared at the ceiling breathing simultaneously, her leg under his and his arm over her chest.
"You go girl." McGee shouted and grabbed the 80 bucks on the stand and folded them to pocket it. Tony's grin fell as he and McGee jogged into the ring. Tony went to help Gibbs up but Gibbs shook his head, he couldn't move, nor did he want to, he had a reason to be tangled up with Kate. Kate rolled away to the side and groaned out loud when she struggled to get up. She leaned on McGee for support as Tony confronted Gibbs.
Author's Note: Sorry about the wait, and the length…had to find it in my files…and once again there's a little Miss congeniality and a phrase from SWAT. Read and Review please. No heat!
