Chapter four-Desmond Delati

Hours later, at around 11 p.m., the building was cleared and checked out. Security was still poised at every door and window in case the threat came back. Back in the bullpen, nothing seemed different, except for a few scattered papers that were tossed when they were running out of the building. On Kate's desk, lay one file that seemed different from the others stacked off to the side. A big red stamp, To Kate Todd, was on the file diagonal taking up the whole cover. Before she could touch the file, Gibbs slapped some gloves onto her desk. "This is a case. Use the gloves." Snapping the latex rubber on, she picked up the tan file. Flipping through the pages, and noticing highlights here and there, she realized this was all about her sister. The last page was the most startling of all. There sprawled across the white paper in green ink were the words, "sorry Catlin. U know the drill. She lied and tried to trick me." Kate slammed the file back on her desk and ran up the stairs to MTAC where Gibbs was currently working on a video conference. "Gibbs...it's.." Before she could say another word, Gibbs whispered Ari out loud, and with no stopping him, he stormed out. Kate stood there for a brief moment, still stunned at how quick Gibbs was to know the truth about people.

Abby quickly did a spot check making sure nothing was missing, broken or lost in her lab. Everything seemed in order, except for the scattered papers across her floor. Someone was looking for something, but apparently they didn't find it. A thought suddenly hit Abby in the face. Picking up the receiver to her phone in the lab she dialed. "TONY! Kate's in danger…he might… she might… if he…and then…" She spurted out shambles of words, clearly not making any sense. Tony on the other side of the phone was holding the phone a foot away, trying to make out at least a few words from her jumbled up word structure. Gibbs walked past him, heard Abby's frantic voice on the phone and snatched the phone out of his hand. "Abs…speak clearly." "I think Kate might be in danger. He might come after her now that he knows she has the code file. I mean…he knows like everything. We got to get her outta here." After those few words, Tony and Kate couldn't make out anything, as of Abby's voice suddenly getting soft.

A couple seconds later, Gibbs slammed the receiver back down, he'd been doing a lot of slamming lately, and turned to his team. For the first time, in a the longest time, he looked worried. This was his team. His team was a potential target. His team meant his family. His family was a target…namely his daughter named Kate.

"Abby is right. We need to get Kate out of here…which also means undercover for the two of you." Saying this, he pointed to Kate and Tony. Bad thoughts ran through his head. He needed to figure this out…and he needed to figure it out right. "Boss?" "yeah Tony?" Gibbs spoke in a hushed tone. "He's seen Kate…and you." "I know DiNozzo." "Boss…can I talk to you for a quick second?" Tony walked to a corner by the windows, followed by Gibbs. "This mean your setting up Kate as bait?"

Kate and McGee could see that this was a heated discussion. This was possibly the first time, DiNozzo got fired up about anything…and showed it. They exchanged glances at each other and went back to their respected desks quietly when Gibbs and Tony came back.

"Looks like we're going undercover Kate." Tony said quietly to Kate, his eyes not meeting hers, and she understood. She was bait…
