Sorry it's taken a week but with school n all… well I'll try get as many chapters up as possible this weekend to make up for it. Hope this is going the way you guys want it to. I still haven't thought much ahead of the next couple chapters so if you want your say just email me. Adios!

When Kate arrived in the bullpen early the next morning she was surprised to find Tony sat at his desk, already working away.

"Wow you're keen," she greeted him and yawned as she set her things down at her desk.

"I didn't think it was possible for someone's records to be this clean," he murmured.

"Haven't found anything huh?"

"Not a speck of dirt in sight," he sighed. "We're gonna have to go about this a different way. Official records are a no-go."

Kate sat in her chair and turned her computer on. "Well, I have an idea, but I don't know if it'll work."

"Lets hear it."

Kate opened her mouth to answer, but was cut off by Gibbs' deep voice behind her.

"Morning Agent Todd."

"Good morning Gibbs. Any work today?"

"There's always work Kate."

"Yeah but any interesting work Boss?" Tony asked hopefully.

"There are no new cases yet, but people don't die by your schedule DiNozzo."

For the next hour, they each worked silently at their own desks. Tony was itching to know Kate's plan and Kate was going over tactics in her head. The elevator doors dinged and McGee walked out and to his desk.

"Morning Boss, Kate… Tony."

"Morning McGee," Kate smiled politely, though all the while she was cursing him for making her life so bothersome.

"They want to see you in MTAC," Gibbs told him. "I'm going for coffee."

The two headed off to leave Kate and Tony alone in the bullpen once more.

"You could have said good morning to him!" Kate hissed. "You have to be civil!"

"I think saying 'Good morning Timothy, how are you today?' may be slightly suspicious in Gibbs' eyes Katie."

She glared at him. "Well you'll have to be nice to him later on. You're buying him drinks."

"I'm what?"

"You're going to take McGee to a bar or a club or something after work and buy him drinks. Then you are either going to get him so drunk that he does something ridiculous and you get evidence, or your going to get him so drunk that he spills a few secrets to you without realizing it."

Tony groaned, but then considered some of the interesting facts he could learn or the embarrassing things he could potentially witness and chuckled.

"And what are you going to be doing?" he asked.

"I'll be at Abby's. It's not going to be fun, but I should be able to get some Goss from her in exchange for some of my own…the Sherman file, DiNozzo."

Tony picked up on Kate's hint that someone was within earshot.

"Sure Katie," he got up and handed her a manila folder. He saw Gibbs a few desks over and went back to his desk.

He began pondering how he could gain the best information from the probie when his computer made a ding noise to indicate he had a new message.

Don't get carried away at the club Sex-Machine. You're there on business, not pleasure.

He smiled to himself and typed a reply.

Wouldn't be pleasure unless you were there Katie.

Ding

Yeah, yeah save it for someone blonde DiNozzo

Ding

Have fun at your sleep-over… don't forget "you're there on business, not pleasure"… although…

Ding

Get your mind out of the gutter and back onto your work. Gibbs is looking at you and you're smiling like a doofus.

Tony cleared his throat and got back to the files. After he was sure Gibbs wasn't looking at him he poked his tongue out at Kate. She mirrored the action.

"Would you two grow up and get back to work!"
