"Kate! There you are. I've been waiting for you." Abby shouted across the room upon seeing her friend.

"What'd you want Abby?"

"I just wanted to know if you were doing anything tonight. Cause I thought maybe you could come over, and finish watching Jaws, last time you conveniently fell asleep watching it."

"Oh Abby, as much as I'd love to, I've kinda got a date tonight?"

"A date? With who?" Abby asked, playing dumb.

"Tony, actually."

"Tony? As in our Tony?"

"Yes, our Tony. And don't play stupid. I know you had something to do with it."

"I did not!" She pleaded innocently. "So where's he taking you?"

"That new Italian place I think. He said 'new' and 'Italian', so I kinda figured."

"Ah, you wanted to go there too."

"Mmm, I wonder how he knew? Maybe an inside source helped him?" She said, raising an eyebrow. This just screamed 'Abby did it'. Or helped in some way at the bare minimum.

"Or maybe he planted a wire on you."

"Doubt it. Anyway Abs, I still got that paperwork to do so.."

"Yeah ok. Call me tonight after you get home. That is IF you get home." She retorted playfully over he shoulder.

Kate just looked at the other woman as If she were mental.

"What?" Abby asked, noting Kate staring at her.

"You, you're relentless. You know damned well I'm not going to sleep with Tony. That infamous 'DiNozzo Charm' won't work on me!"

"Yeah, you say that now."

"Abby!"

"Fine, subject dropped. Don't you have paperwork to get back to before Gibbs gets back from MTAC?"

"Yeah, well I think they may have kidnapped him, or taken him hostage for something. He's been gone for almost and hour and a half."

"Yeah well, don't get your hopes up!"

before Kate could reply, out came the devil himself.

"Gibbs! Kate and I were just talking about you."

"Really?" He murmured.

"Kate was just telling me how she thought MTAC had taken you hostage for ransom or something."

"I wish."

"Why what's happened?" Kate asked, suddenly serious.

"Director Morrow's being an outright dickhead, once again."

"Ok, well I got paperwork to do. Bye Abs."

"C-ya Kate. And don't forget to call me!"
