Kate woke with a start. She was sweaty and had tossed around most of the night. The clock by her bed read 5:30 am. She decided that she wasn't going to be able to get back to sleep so slowly she rose from the bed carefully not wanting to wake Tony. She was successful; as she walked out she thought she heard something in the kitchen. She walked towards it carefully. She peeked around the corner; it was to dark to see anything so she quickly turned the light on…no one was there. Sighing heavily she made her way over to the sink and poured herself a glass of water. Drinking it down she turned to go have a shower, hoping the hot water will sooth her nerves. After showering and getting into her work cloths she headed out to where Tony was eating some breakfast.
"You ok? You were tossing and turning a lot last night?" Tony said looking up at her.
Kate swallowed because muttering "Yeah. Yeah I'm fine, guess it was just one of those night."
Tony could see how much she forced those words and knew she wasn't fine at all, but also knew if he was to push the fact she would get more distant but if he was to sit and just be patient there was a better chance she will go to him. Deep down he was truly concerned for her though. Never had he ever seen her look that shook up, and after a lot of thinking last night she would never pull a gun on him. Whoever was trying to scare her, it was working. He sighed getting up he walked over to her and just smiled, they had known each other as partners for a long time, they were in tricky situations where neither of them could talk, so it was something between them, they didn't need to use words to communicate, they seemed to be able to talk to each other threw their eyes, and Tony was telling her simply, I'm here if you want to talk.
The ride to NCIS was in silence. Tony was driving and Kate was just sitting there looking out the window. Tony glanced over at her several times. She would be in the same position. Tony sighed and decided to try to talk to her.
"Hey, do you know when you get the stitches out of your arm?" Tony asked his eyes still on the rode.
"What? O sorry Tony…um I think in Wednesday they are going to have a look and see if its come right." Kate said before looking out the window again.
Tony sighed not knowing what to say. Kate had totally zoned out again as they pulled up to NCIS. Slowly they made it up to the bullpen and sat down at their desks.
Kate looked through a few old files. Tim came in a few minutes later and said hi in a usual cheerful manner. Kate and Tony simply said hi as Tim went and sat down at his desk. Jacob and Ziva arrived a few minutes later and Gibbs wandered down from MTAC. It was being a pretty ordinary day, no case, so they all worked on paper work for now. It was 12 when Kate started getting messages from an anonymous person, but it didn't take her long to know whom it was.
'Well, I guess Agent DiNozzo got home before I could visit.' Kate turned off the beeping noise that goes off when she has a message. Kate looked around making sure no one was watching her, the only person who was was Jacob, but he quickly looked away when they caught eye contact.
'What do you want?' Kate sent back.
'Well since you were so rude last time I think that you should pay a bit of a price, now as a doctor I am not going to kill you, but it will hurt.' The threat didn't bother Kate.
'I am in a Federal Office building, you couldn't get me in here.' Kate said simply.
'I was able to get past Gibbs when he thought I was dead. Now I have gun that will easily get you easily, of course if you just stay still I will be able to get you somewhere that will be painful yes…but it wont kill you' Ari stated but Kate still wasn't worried.
'The glass on the windows wont let bullets get through them.' Kate stated easily.
'You think I don't know that? While you were all away playing happy holiday I decided to play with the window where I now have a clean shot of you.'
'Your lying.' Kate said looking out the window slightly.
'You want to take that chance? 1 2 3…'
Kate quickly jumped off to the side landing hard on the ground.
"Kate?" Gibbs asked looking down at her.
"Sorry, just kinda slipped." Kate lied getting up and sitting back in her seat.
Gibbs nodded going back to his work. Kate looked at her screen but Ari said no more…
