Hey guys this didn't take as long so hope you still like it sweet.

Tony looked down at Kate with a strange look in his eyes. Kate didn't recognise this look. It was almost like he was scared.

"Kate why didn't you tell me?" Tony asked Kate.

Kate had to think, why didn't she tell him? Tony was her partner. He was there to watch her back and she was there to do the same for him. Why was it just so much easier to lie to him? When there relationship relied on trust. She knew she trusts him but then what was the problem.

Finally Kate looked up at Tony. Meeting his eyes with her own.

"I don't know, I just couldn't", Kate whispered in his ear. Why she did this she didn't know either.

"Ok but from know on we tell each other everything ok"

"Ok I promise". They shook hands on it.

Tony didn't quite understand her explanation or why she had whispered it to him but never the ness he tried to. This was getting to deep for Kate's liking. Kate felt way too vulnerable. She decided to change the subject.

"Where'd you go this morning?" Kate questioned.

"I just went for a long walk, had to clean me head"

"Oh right, what time you leave?"

"About 4:30 I just couldn't sleep"

"The night mares were that bad"

"I just kept replay that one scene in my head and the look of hate in his eyes"

Kate just looked at her feet. Another awkward moment in which she had no idea to act.

"What the time?" Tony asked Kate. He knew Kate was quite uncomfortable with where this conversation was leading again.

"I have no idea" Kate replied.

So they both went to see the time was.

When they got to the clock in the kitchen they saw the time was 1:30. It was lunch time and Tony hadn't even had breakfast yet. This day has turned really tiring just like Kate had thought.

Just then Kate realised she had done any washing or dishes or anything the whole time they had been there. The house was a pig sty.

"Tony have you got any washing? I'm gonna do some"

"Um yip it's in the bedroom". Tony gave Kate a gleaming smile.

Tony I know we are a little more comfortable with each other but I'm not picking up your dirty washing who knows what I'll find"

"Don't worry Kate there's nothing in it I don't wont you to see"

"That's my point Tony, what you want me to see and what I want to see are two very different things"

"Well I can tell you my clothes don't bite but that's about it, that I can assure you."

"Oh I feel so much better", this sentence dripped with sarcasm.

Tony and Kate spend about 2hours cleaning the house up. It really was a pig sty.

When they had finished clean Kate made herself a sandwich. She decided to watch some TV well she ate. She put the sandwich down to find the remote and when she turned back around to eat her sandwich half had all ready gone. She was sure she hadn't eaten any. Then she thought Tony.

As she looked up she saw Tony munch down the last bite.

"Tony that was my sandwich!"

"Well at least I saved you half"

"That is not the point", Kate said as she elbowed Tony in the stomach.

"Ow Kate! I'll get you", Tony exclaimed as he ran after Kate. He finally caught her.

He grabbed her by the arms I little harder than intended. Kate winced and gasped in pain.

"Oh sorry Kate I forgot"

"No it's alright"

This brought Kate and Tony back to the real world.

"Lets just order Chinese food, and then we have get to work on the case". Tony said.

"Ok oh I should tell you he confessed"

"He what!"

"He confessed when he was in here this morning".

"Kate we have bugged the entire place we might just have what we need to get this guy, we'll send them to Abby see what we got"

"Yes that's great; hey how about we also have all the stuff Lucy told me the other day there might be something on that to"

So Tony and Kate got to work they sent all the bugs to Abby.

Then rebugged the house this time they put up cameras.

They ordered there Chinese and where about to sit down and eat when there was a knock at the door.

"Hey Kathy it's me Lucy can I come in?"

"Sure Lucy come in, the doors open"

Lucy let herself in, and walked into the lounge where Kate and Tony were.

"Hey Lucy me and Tommy have just ordered Chinese, how have you been"

"Good, I just finished doing the shopping for the admiral and thought I'd come over and see you"

"That nice yeh we just did some cleaning and stuff, you have to do his shopping?"

"Yeh, I do all the bastards house work, I practically do his job, I really hate men", Lucy gave Tony a look he didn't like.

Tony walked out he didn't wanna stay to Lucy talk about how evil and stupid men where he just didn't need it. Plus he just didn't fell like being nice right now. A bad mood had just crept up on Tony, well more like smack him in the face.

"Tommy where are you going" Kate asked Tony. Obviously something was wrong.

"For a walk"

"Ok what I'm will you be back"

"Later"

"Sorry about this Lucy, Tommy can I talk to you in the kitchen, now!"

"Fine"

In the kitchen

"Tony what is the matter with you?"

"Nothing I'm just going for a walk" Tony shouted at Kate.

"Well you don't have to yell at me I'm not deaf"

After that Tony just walked out.

"Don't you walk out on me?"

"I'll do what I like thank you very much"

At that Tony left.

Kate came out of the kitchen then went and sat on the couch.

"What happened Kate?"

"I don't know, he just got angry and started to yell at me"

"Well he is a man, what do you expect?"

"You seriously think Tommy is as bad as the admiral don't you?"

"No of course not"

"Then you don't like him do you? Not all men are like the admiral, Tommy's a great guy he's my rock, we may fight a lot but I still care for him very much"

"Kathy I didn't mean to upset you, I just haven't had very good luck with men you see"

After they had straightened out there little tiff. Kate and Lucy talked. They eat the Chinese food but Kate did save a little for Tony he hadn't eaten much all day which was probly one of the reasons he was so grumpy. He will be really hungry when he got home.

Kate was getting really worried about tony he still wasn't home yet.

Kate and lucy talked about the admiral attacking Kate again that morning and how Lucy did all and admiral's housework and they also talked about stuff that wasn't as intense like food, cloths and girly stuff.

Lucy left at around 10 pm. And Tony still hadn't come home yet. By this time Kate was getting really worried about tony. He had been gone over 6 hours.

At last Kate heard the door open, he was home, thank god he was safe.

"Hey Kate what's the time and I'm starving"

"hey Kate, that's all you say after yelling at me storming out then not coming home for 6 hours" Kate screamed at Tony, "I've been so worried anything could have happened to you, why do that to me all I'm try to do is help"

"Kate I'm sorry I just couldn't handle Lucy with her men are such asshole, I didn't mean to take it out on you I'm just so stressed and tired I can't get to sleep because of the nightmares, plus I haven't eaten all day"

"And now I just suppose to forgive you for walking all over me"

"I don't blame you for being mad, I'm am true fully sorry and I know I wouldn't have gotten through this with out you"

"Tony I am mad at you but I except your apology and we will get through this you are not alone remember that"

"I know Kate thank you"

Tony hugged Kate and placed a kiss on her forehead.

Kate was getting really tired she decided to watch some TV to calm down then she would go to bed.

Tony was so hungry he found the Chinese food Kate have left him, she was a saint. He was much to tired to cook anything now. He joined Kate on the couch and eats his food. When he had finished he remembered they had to up date Gibbs he decided just to give him a call and say everything was a.o.k and that they would give him the rest of the information tomorrow and that Kate had been attacked by the admiral and they would be coming home tomorrow after noon. Gibbs agreed he has all the evidence they needed to get the admiral.

"Ok see you tomorrow"

"Bye boss"

"We're going home tomorrow after noon they have all they need so we aren't need here any more we got him Kate"

"Oh that's great news Tony"

"Yeh, well I'm going to bed I don't know about you but I'm exhausted"

"Yip I'm gonna go to bed as well"

So they both went to the bedroom and Kate got into her pj's. Tony slept in his boxers so he just got undressed. Tony got in rolled over and tried to get some sleep. Then he felt Kate trying to snuggle up to his back. So he rolled over to face her and she snuggled right up into his chest, he put both arms around her. He could understand she was feeling very vulnerable and that she needed to feel safe.

"Night Kate see you in the morning"

"Night Tony" a muffled sound came from his chest.
