Nowhere To Go: The Next Day
Kate woke up and found herself on the couch. "Stupid Tony!' she said. She had a backache from sleeping on the couch. Next to her was her dog, which heard her name being called out, she barked.
"Not you, the other Tony" said Kate and got up. She got her dog on her lap and said "You hungry? Mummy will feed you later, ok?"
Tony, the dog, barked and wagged her tail. "I'll take that as a ok" said Kate and put the dog down and went on to her room.
"Tony!" she called out as she walked to her room. "Tony, get up! It's time for work" she called out again
She went into her room and got to her cupboard and brought out her clothes. She lay them on the bed. Then she called out for Tony again. Still no response
She walked over to her bed and pulled the covers. Tony was not there. There was only a bunch of pillows underneath the covers which made her thought it was Tony.
"Where could he have gone?" she asked herself
Then she went out to the living room and found that Tony's bags were gone.
"He left just like that?" she asked herself again
She was in a way relieved that Tony was gone. But at the same time, she wished he didn't go.
She went back to her bedroom. And got a sketchbook from under her mattress, she took a pencil that she had on her table, which was next to her bed, and begins to draw. This time she drew the sleeping Tony she saw last night.

"You're so dead" said Kate to Abby on the phone, she was driving and had an earphone in her ear that was connected to her cell. She was on her way to work.
"Oh, come on, Kate! I know you want to thank me!" said Abby cheekily
"Since when did I authorized you to tell him any of my personal stuff" said Kate, she was talking about Abby letting Tony know that she didn't have a date for the reunion last night
"Well, he asked…so, what happened last night?" asked Abby
"Nothing happened… how many times do you want to ask me that?" said Kate.
"Oh, please! Tell me, I know something must have happened" said Abby
"Nothing happened! Hey, don't try to change the topic… as I was saying, you're so dead!" said Kate
"Fine, I'll make it up to you, I'll buy lunch" said Abby
"For a whole week" said Kate
"A whole week… Ok, ok, but only if you tell me what happened," said Abby
"But nothing happened" said Kate
"Yeah, yeah, sure… I'll only believe that when I see flying pigs" said Abby
"Hey, I'm going to work now, talk to you at lunch!" said Kate
"Ok, see ya later!" said Abby
Kate parked her car and went on the lift to the bullpen
……………………………………………………………………………….
"Ding" Kate got out of the lift and saw that McGee was already at work.
"Hey, Kate!" he said. She nodded.
"Where's Tony, shouldn't he be with you?" asked McGee as Kate took a seat behind her desk.
"I don't know, he left real early this morning," said Kate
"Woke up early? I had to wake him up when he was staying at my place," said McGee
"Yeah, he left before I woke up," said Kate
"Did you hear him snore?" asked McGee
"I don't know, I didn't hear it" said Kate
"What!" said McGee out loud.
"He's out to get me isn't he…why am I the only one to suffer him" said McGee
"Well, it's not that great for me too" said Kate to herself as she thought back about the dress she bought for the party that now had vomit on it.
…………………………………………………………………………………..
"Ding" the lift door opened. Tony walked into the office and saw McGee and Kate. "Hey" he said
Then he threw a piece of paper to Kate as he walked to his table.
"What's this?" asked Kate as she opened it up and looked. It was a dry cleaners receipt.
"Pick it up later, it'll be done by 5" said Tony. Kate was kinda amazed that Tony would be so thoughtful, but then Tony interrupted her thoughts.
"Probie" Tony called Kate watched what Tony wanted to do.
McGee didn't bother to respond. He was still pissed about Tony breaking his records.
"Probie" said Tony as he threw a paper ball at McGee
"What?" said McGee in an annoyed tone
"Cool down, Probie, I just wanted to talk to you about your record that I broke" said Tony
"Well, Tony, if you want to apologize, could you at least do so without calling me probie?" said McGee
"Well…Mc Mc Mc" said Tony as if struggling to say McGee
"McProbie" he finally said. McGee was not amused.
"Just catch" Tony said and got something out of his bag, it was big, square and flat and threw it at McGee. McGee caught it. He opened it up and found that it was the record he broke. But this wasn't his. This was another one.
"Where did you get this?" asked McGee, happy that he had found a replacement
"I've got friends" said Tony, feeling really smug. Just then, he felt pain at the back of his head. He turned around and saw that it was Gibbs, who had just hit him at the back of the head.
"Ouch Boss! What was that for?" asked Tony
"For not telling me that you got evicted from your place" said Gibbs and walked to the front of Tony's table. Tony looked from Gibbs to Kate then McGee. His eyes narrowed on McGee.
"I didn't say anything I swear" said McGee
"Ducky told me," said Gibbs
"This is still your fault," said Tony to McGee. After all, McGee did tell Ducky about it.
As Tony was facing McGee. Gibbs gave Tony another whack at the back of his head.
"What was that for?" asked Tony as he rubbed his head. Kate laughed. She loved watching Tony getting whacked.
"For getting evicted and for not telling me" said Gibbs
"Great…anything else?" said Tony
"Just one more" said Gibbs and whacked him again
"And that was for?" asked Tony
"For making me clean up after you" said Gibbs
"What do you mean?" asked Tony
"You can move back in tonight," said Gibbs. Tony jumped out with joy.
"Really?" said Tony
"Yes" said Gibbs
"Aw… you like me! Someone wants a hug" said Tony as he playfully tip toe over to give Gibbs a hug.
"Any closer and you are dead, get back to work" said Gibbs in a serious tone. Tony immediately sat back down.
McGee and Kate went back to work too. Gibbs walked to his table. As he sat down. He looked from Kate to Tony to McGee and he smiled as if they were his children and were proud of them.
