"What does he want with me Gibbs?" Kate looked at Gibbs, there was something in her eyes he didn't like.
"Kate, I'm not sure exactly what this means. He let you go, last time you were with him. I don't know if this means he intends to harm you or not." Gibbs watched as Kate struggled with this new bit of information. "We're going to have to keep an eye out for him."
"Is this ever going to be over?" Kate said. Gibbs could see the wheels turning in her head. "I don't think he would harm me. Last time he was mad at the men that brought me to him, for hitting me. And he let me go last time."
"That doesn't make him incapable of hurting you Kate." Gibbs started.
"I think he has a thing for me…"
"He what!" Gibbs voice began to raise. Gibbs started to pace and throw his hands in the air. "Why would you say that? What did he do? What did he say?"
"Whoa Gibbs, calm down." Kate moved closer to Gibbs and put her hand on his arm, to stop him. Gibbs stopped pacing and looked down at her. She could see the anger boiling in his eyes. "I just mean I don't think he will harm me. He was nothing but nice to me when he held me."
"You call holding you hostage nice? Kate, what is it with you and him. You couldn't stab him and now you have something for him?" Gibbs was yelling by now and he watched as his last words registered on Kate's face. She looked as if he'd slapped her.
"Gibbs, you..you..have no idea what you are talking about" Kate turned away from Gibbs and started to walk away.
Gibbs reached out and grabbed her arm to keep her from leaving. "Kate, wait." Kate still didn't turn to look at him. "I'm sorry…this situation is getting to me, I didn't mean like that."
Kate turned and gave him a little smile "Never apologize..or I may have to get my pillows to remind you."
Gibbs smiled a little at her comment. "Kate I think you should stay with someone. Do you have anyone you can stay with here?"
"Gibbs, I can't stay with anyone. Remember I have Toni at home. I can't just leave him there without anyone to feed him. Maybe I could have someone come stay with me. Maybe Abby will come stay with me. Or maybe Ducky"
"Abby wouldn't be much protection Kate, she could be in danger by staying there." Gibbs didn't like that idea.
"Oh my god, I didn't think about that. Nobody's safe staying with me Gibbs. I can take care of myself."
"No, Kate, someone needs to be with you. You are not staying by yourself"
"Well who? Tony? I would probably kill him in the first five minutes " Kate wants Gibbs to stay with her, but she can't figure out how to ask. "Maybe McGee…" Kate yawned, it is getting late and she's exhausted.
Gibbs looked at Kate and could see she was exhausted. She needed to go home. All this couldn't be settled in one night, but he needed her safe. "Kate, how about I come home with you tonight and we'll figure out everything else tomorrow? You look exhausted."
"Gee, Gibbs, you sure know how to make a girl feel special." Kate laughed at him. She yawned again and unconsciously leaned closer to him. "I am tired, and starving." Kate playfully smacked his arm. "I guess you'll do for tonight, but I don't have a basement with a boat, What will you do?"
Gibbs laughed and playfully put his arm around her shoulders. "I guess we'll figure out something." He led them toward the elevator. "So Kate, what are you cooking me for dinner?"
Kate pulled away laughing and playfully hit him again. "I'm not cooking, we're ordering out and your buying." Kate stuck her tongue out at him as she got on the elevator.
Gibbs just stared at her. Things he could do with that tongue were his thoughts as they headed up the elevator to the bullpen.
"Tony, you find anything on the dead guy yet?" Gibbs barked as he came off the elevator. Kate followed behind him and sat at her desk.
"No boss, nothing so far. Ari did a good job of picking a nobody." Tony got up and walked over to in front of Gibbs desk. "I did find out that the bullets used were purchased from a store over off of 5th avenue"
"Go to the store and see if you can get a description from the person who sold them. We need to know if it was Ari or if it was someone else. Take McGee with you"
"On it boss." Tony said as he grabbed his coat and headed for the elevator. McGee followed quickly behind.
"You guys go home after your done there. Be back tomorrow at 7am sharp." Gibbs yelled after them, just as the elevator doors closed.
"Kate, grab Ari's file and we'll head out also. We need to get your apartment secure." Gibbs stood up from his chair and put his coat on. He walked over to Kate's desk and grabbed her coat from her chair.
Kate looked up at him and smiled as she slipped her arms into the coat.
"Let's go" Gibbs guided her to the elevator. "We'll grab something to eat on the way to your apartment."
Kate smiled as the both got on the elevator, she had a feeling tonight was going to be a very interesting night.
