Kate sat on the couch of the apartment. The night had really taken a lot out of her. After everyone was cleared Gibbs told them all to go home, get some rest and they could do all the after action report in the morning. Tony walked through into the living room with some Chinese. He had some slight burn marks and his face was still kind of dark from the smoke. Kate had stitches in her arm and she had to wear a sling for a few days just to let everything set in place. It was etching close to two in the morning. Kate and Tony silently ate and then got ready for bed…leaving the dishes for the morning. That night they slept in the same room, happy to be next to each other and feeling happy that everyone was safe. Kate sighed and leaned into Tony's chest.
"You ok?" Tony whispered.
"Yeah." Kate replied.
Tony kissed the top of her head and finally fell asleep.
Kate woke up and next morning and stretched, everything in her body ached. Her arm still throbbed as she got up and made her way into the kitchen to find Tony cleaning up.
"Tony? What are you doing?" Kate asked looking at him.
"Cleaning." Tony said.
"It was my turn to clean." Kate said walking up to him.
"You're hurt." Tony said looking at her.
"I guess I will have to make it up to you." Kate said stepping even closer.
"Really?" Tony asked before she pressed her lips onto his.
"Better?" Kate asked smiling at him.
"Maybe." Tony said laughing.
"Another time Tony, like you said I'm injured." Kate said turning around walking to the bathroom.
Tony smiled to himself and continued to clean. Kate was stronger then he had expected. This made him laugh. She had also risked her life to try and save him the night before and Tony wanted to talk to her and ask her never to do that again.
Tony and Kate drove to NCIS mostly in silence. Kate fiddled with her sling.
"Tony, I was too tired…did you hear how long I have to stay in this thing?" Kate asked breaking the silence.
"Um anywhere between two or three months." Tony said.
"WHAT?" Kate yelled.
"I'm kidding Kate, only a couple of days and you'll be fine. If you are careful you can probably get the stitches out by the end of next week." Tony said.
Kate hit Tony playfully.
"Agent Todd…none of that now." Tony said smiling.
"I don't know about that Agent DiNozzo." Kate said.
They arrived at NCIS and walked up to the office.
"You two are late." Gibbs said looking at the pair.
"Sorry Boss, Kate had some trouble getting changed so I had to give her a helping hand." Tony said smirking.
"TONY!" Kate said. "O that is it." Kate said running after him.
Gibbs watched them, rolled his eyes and shook his head. This was starting to feel like a pre school not a federal building.
"Agents Todd and DiNozzo get back in your seat and do some work" Gibbs said looking at them.
"Yes Boss." They said and returned to their desk.
McGee suddenly ran out of the elevator and into the bullpen.
"Boss I am so sorry, my sister took a while to get here and I didn't want to leave Abby and Rebecca by themselves just in case something happened." McGee blurted out.
"It's ok Tim, I understand, now go sit down." Gibbs said leaving everyone else staring at him in utter shock.
Everyone was writing his or her reports until lunchtime. Kate and Tony finished first and went for lunch.
They went to a simple café and had a simple lunch, nothing fancy. They talked about anything that doesn't have to do with the case. After lunch they went for a walk and talked some more. Nothing to special just some stuff to kill time before they headed back to base. Kate sighed and turned around to face Tony. Tony looked down at her and smiled.
"We should go out for the weekend. It would be a nice simply get-away." Tony said.
"That would be nice." Kate said turning around leaning into him.
It was half an hour later they walked back into the office. Tim was just leaving. He finished his report during the lunch hour and was now heading back home to Abby and Rebecca.
"See you later, Tim." Kate said.
"Bye Probie." Tony said as he walked by.
"See you guys later." Tim said entering the elevator.
Ziva and Jacob still were not back from lunch yet. Gibbs was nowhere to be seen, probably getting coffee, or up in MTAC. It wasn't unusual so they thought nothing of it. They sat there in silence, which was unusual, but also wanted to get the work done so they could head home for the weekend. Suddenly Tony broke the silence.
"I found us a place for tomorrow night Kate." Tony said.
"I thought you were working." Kate said as she got up and walked over.
"I am." Tony said smiling at her as she walked behind him looking at the hotel he found. It was about a 2-hour drive away and had nice reviews. With a spa and heated swimming pool it only added to the resorts luxury. It offered massages and had a very nice restaurant by the water, where there was a peer that went a bit out to see where there was a small bar and a place for people to dance.
"Tony, that looks amazing." Kate said her mouth slightly open.
"My treat. You need it." Tony said smiling again before planting a small kiss on her forehead.
