Protector III

The end of the work day was drawing near and Gibbs still hadn't said anything about her going home or not. She didn't really want to ask him but she wanted to know what he had to say. She decided to email him even though he was 5 feet away.

'Gibbs,

What do you think about me going home tonight? I really want to sleep in my own bed tonight but whatever you think is best…If I shouldn't go home where should I go.

Kate

Oh by the way thank you for not saying anything to Dinozzo and McGeee about this. I would never hear the end.'

SEND

As she sends it she hears a little 'ding' from his computer. She doesn't look back to see if he was reading it. She didn't want to let on it was her who sent it. She just continued to complete the loads of paperwork.

Gibbs read the email and thought for a second.

'Kate,

I have been thinking about that all day. I don't think it would be smart for you to go back to your place for a little bit. Since you don't have any family around I think the best place for you to stay would be at my place. You can stay on my couch until this all blows over. I don't think John knows where my house is but if he does I invite him to try and hurt you there. He would not stand a chance. Well tell me what you think.

Gibbs'

Right as he was sending the email Gibbs saw Kate get up and stretch. He thought she was just going to sit back down but she left for the elevator. SEND He stood up rather quickly and followed her.

She was starting to get really board so she got up. She took a nice stretch and then headed off towards the elevator. She had just gotten there when Gibbs appeared at her side. She noticed him and then realizing why he was there, she rolled here eyes in frustration.

"You don't have to go everywhere with me," she said with a hint of attitude.

"Yes, I do, with HIM still out there."

"Whatever, I am going down to see Ducky. He is showing the probies their first autopsy."

"This should be fun," he said with a smile on his face."

AN: I hope you liked it. The next one will be here soon. Please review.
