Chap.8
Kate hummed lightly as she waited for her elevator ride to cease. In the back of her mind she quickly wondered what Tony was coming through at this very minute. She shrugged and shut the mental box where she kept that thought and pushed it into a far corner in her mind.
The elevator dinged indicating her arrival and she stepped on the plush grey carpet and headed for Gibbs's desk seeing the empty coke bottle and crumpled up sandwich wrapper she tossed both items in the bin and turned over to see McGee walk off the elevator, his eyes raised up when he heard her mumbling curses under her breath.
"Hey Kate, I just got off the phone with Tony, he said if you value his life in any way to call him as soon as possible. There was some kind of rumbling in the background though I wasn't able to identify it." McGee headed back to his desk printed off his report and slid it in a slip and placed it on Gibbs's desk. Kate rolled her eyes and went over to Gibbs's phone and dialled Tony's cell phone and while it ringed she pressed the speaker phone button. McGee's eyebrow raised in pure amusement as he took a seat on the corner of Gibbs's desk listening intently to the conversation to come.
On the third ring Tony picked up out of breath. His breathing so high you would have thought he had just ran a 50 k run.
"Kate! You said he would be okay! You said just feed him, pumping him with liquid…I WANT TO PUMP HIM WITH RIDLIN!" Tony yelled, Kate flinched at the increase of volume and let out a little chuckle. Outside the building Kate heard the screeching of tires and a door slamming.
"Anthony DiNozzo, if that's you that just pulled into the parking lot I swear on every fibre of my body I will make your life hell on earth!" She said as she jogged over to the window and looked the handful of floors. She was surprised it wasn't Tony's red mustang but Gibbs's black Taurus.
"That would be impossible seeming he handcuffed me to my steering wheel and tossed the keys in the flower garden now would it Kate!" He spat out venomously. Kate dragged a hand down her face and went across the room and slammed the receiver against the cradle. She walked all the way towards the elevator and stomped her foot against the grey carpet, her arms were crossed against her chest and a stray strand of hair snuck out of her pin's grasp and fell the length of her cheek giving her an air of frustration. The bell rang and she squinted her eyes when the doors open and Gibbs took a step to get but found himself face to face with a fuming Kate.
"Not now Kate." He sighed and massaged his temples. Kate put a hand to his chest and pushed him lightly back in the elevator. She punched the door shut. As the doors were imprisoning him she threw a little wave at McGee and told him he might as well head home.
Once the doors were shut she whirled around to face Gibbs who was for his part standing on his own but leaning all his weight against the wall. She sighed and tapped her foot not taking her eyes off him.
"Why'd you send McGee home? The days not over and I'm just about to start." He stated quietly from the lack of breath. Kate laughed out loud and held on to his elbow as she led Gibbs outside.
"The hell you are Gibbs. I sent Timmy home because no one is going to be there so he might as well go home. Tony thanks to you is tied up at the moment, and when we get you home, you are going to untie him and WE are going to have a Very long talk." She said emphasizing the 'we' and the 'very'. She opened the door to his car and pointed her index finger to the passenger seat and gritted one word between her teeth. "In!" She said. Gibbs huffed and made a little pout as he took another moment and shot his gaze back up the building, he met her serious gaze and complied, pretty damn sure he wouldn't be able to take her in his current condition. He sighed again and stepped into his car ducking his head. Kate slammed the door behind him and made her way to the other side of the car mumbling under her breath and swearing at the whole situation. She stepped in to the car and gunned the ignition.
"Kate I-" He started but Kate out her and on his mouth freezing his lips in place.
"Don't start Gibbs, because I have half the heart to toss you out right now." She said and withdrew her hand from where it was on his mouth and made a tight turn towards Gibbs's townhouse. Gibbs turned towards the window and let out a little smile. This was a side he'd never witnessed from Kate, the dominant and controlling side, and truth be told like all her other attitudes he grew to love it too. He was too observed in his little fantasy to see Kate smiling and staring at her hand where it came in contact with his lips. She droved down the road leading to Gibbs's townhouse and parked right beside Tony and lowered her window.
Tony looked up and a smile overcame his features but quickly turned into a frown when he came in contact with her glare.
"I'm in shit aren't I?" He said lowering his gaze down to the ground then meeting her eyes again as she got out and went on the other side of the car to help Gibbs get out. But this time when she went for the elbow he grabbed her hand and kept a good grip. She met his eyes a brief moment and offered him a little smile before they walked towards the house.
Tony stared from where he sat on the pavement and yelled over his car.
"HEY GUYS WHAT ABOUT ME! COME ON IT HOT OUT HERE! KATE?" He yelled from out of no where a set of keys sailed over his eyes and landed just the extra length away that he couldn't reach it. "THANK YOU…for nothing." He mumbled as he stretched out his leg as far as he could hoping to bring the keys closer but all he managed to do was kick it further. He sighed and tried to look over his shoulder towards the house.
