When Timothy McGee first walked off that elevator, clad in a grey suit and black tie, he noticed that Tony wasn't doing his daily routine. Instead, he was smiling at a piece of paper that he held in his hand.
Now this is what perked McGee's interest. Nothing ever made Tony smile, unless it was dirty. Thinking that it was some sort of dirty letter from his new flavour of the week, he looked over Tony's desk, and looked down the letter from in front of Tony.
Well, he tried.
McGee was rewarded with his actions, by a glare from Tony. "Something I can do for you, McGee?"
McGee noticed Tony's tone of voice, and realised that if he kept on attempting to see what Tony was hiding, then sooner or later, Tony would become royally pissed off. And that's not something McGee generally liked.
Tony's glared followed McGee, as he trudged off to his desk, and sat down at his computer, booting it up. That's when he noticed an envelope, placed downwards. Completely forgetting about the whole 'Kate and Tony going into quarantine' situation, McGee flipped it over, and read the front. His eyebrows shot up, as he recognized the familiar feminine writing, that wrote 'McGee (Probie)' on the front.
He tore the left side of the envelope, and let the letter spill out of the side, before he tossed the envelope carelessly out of his way. After unfolding the letter, he smiled. Kate.
Probie -
I know, you're probably sick of people calling you that, but hey - it's kind of like my mother calling me Rosie. I'll always hate it, but when she doesn't call me that, I get hurt.
If you ever tell ANYONE that my middle name is Rosie, trust me, I will find you - or come back from the dead, which ever has happened - and murder you. Don't even think that I won't.
Lol. That's computer speak, isn't it? That's what I like about you, McGee. You're so smart with computers, and you don't let it get to you when people don't always appreciate that.
Like me and Tony. I really don't mean to be mean to you when I play tricks on you. It's all just for fun. You know that if I ever have a chance to take a bullet for you, then I would in a heartbeat, right?
McGee shook his head slightly. Of course he knew she'd take a bullet for him. Kate would take a bullet for anyone, without a second thought.
Don't let Tony get to you, you know that he thinks of you like a younger brother - that's why he's always teasing you. We both think of you like that. Probie, you're a part of this team, whether you like it or not. Just like me and Tony are the big sister and older brother, you and Abby are the little ones.
So keep on keeping on. Lol. Hey, I'm getting the hang of this computer-speak.
Love,
Kate
McGee set his letter down gently on his desk. He had always known that beneath the sarcastic remarks towards him and his interests that they truly did like him for who he was. They being Tony and Kate of course. But now that Kate actually said that… It just seemed more real to him. He glanced over at Tony, who had now begun his morning routine. He had funny suspicion that Tony had gotten a letter from Kate too.
