Hey,

I forgot to do a disclaimer at the beginning so here it is:

Disclaimer:

If I did own NCIS, which I don't, all y'all TATE fans would have something to smile about, you get my drift? But unfortunately I don't! The legendary Bellisario does. That man's done some damn good work, he deserves to own it!

P.S. I wrote this BEFORE that S.O.A.B agreed to kill her off!

(Well I gotta blame somebody!)

Anyways here the next chap for you (It gets better I swear you just gotta wait mwhahaha!) :

They stepped out of the elevator and walked through the glass doors to be deafened by music.

"Hey Abs, you seen Gibbs today?" he yelled over the music.

"Nope, which is weird 'cos…"

"Abby!" he cut her off gesturing to his ears.

"Oh!" she paused the music.

"I said it's weird 'cos he always drops in in the morning to give me my caffeine boost."

"You do love that 'caff-pow' don't ya Abs."

"Yup!"

"Thanks anyway Abby." They both took the elevator back to the bullpen.

When they got back to their desks, they found Gibbs sitting in his chair with fresh cup of coffee, talking on his cell.

"Yah, ok we'll be there in 15 minutes." He said shutting his cell phone.

"Where have you two been?"

"We've been looking for you all morning boss, where the hell were you?" Tony asked.

"Right here."

"But when Kate came in…"

"I was probably in the head now grab your gear we gotta go!" He cut him off, throwing him the keys to the truck.

He slowly turned to Kate.

"Did you know?" he pointed to her accusatively, the key bundled on his finger. She simply shrugged her shoulder with a devious look in her eyes and picked up her bag from beside her chair, following Gibbs to the elevator.
