MOVIE MOMENT
A/N: Hope you guys enjoy this chapter, as not much thought went into it. Joking, a reasonable amount of thought went into it. I should stop typing now.
"Morning, boss," A cheerful Special Agent Anthony Dinozzo called out to his boss, Special Agent Jethro Gibbs, who was in one of his moods, as usual.
"Dinozzo, bring the car around," Gibbs ordered, "We've got a dead Marine in Whitlam Park. Where's Ziva?"
"Here, Agent Gibbs, sorry I'm late-"
"Just don't let it happen again!" Gibbs growled, leaving the room. "Tell McGee he's riding with Ducky!"
"Sure boss," Dinozzo yelled. "Whatever you say boss."
"When's he going to ease up a little?" Ziva sighed.
"Probably never," Dinozzo joked. He saw the expression on Ziva's face. "Don't take his attitude personally, he's like this with all the new people. Ask McGee."
"Tony, it's been 6 months," Ziva pointed out.
"Okay, then I'd take it personally," Tony said, "but if it makes you feel any better, I like you." Tony smiled slyly.
"Really, is that so?" Ziva grinned.
"Oh my God! Tony, thank God I caught you!" Abby rushed over to Tony. "I had the creepiest dream last night!"
"This should be interesting," Tony sat down.
"It was this kind of spiritual good vs. evil dream, except it was good and evil vs. 'He Who Must Not Be Named'." Abby explained.
"Bellisario?" Ziva questioned.
"Shh!" Tony hushed her, looking around anxiously. He turned back to Abby. "Go on."
"Anyway, I was one of 'People Magazines Most Beautiful People of 2005' and I was witnessing a debate-"
"You had a dream about a debate?" Tony asked, laughing.
"Can I finish?" Abby said, "Kate was in it."
"Kate?" Tony gasped, his expression growing serious. They were interrupted by Tony's cell phone. "Dinozzo,"
"Get your ass down here, Dinozzo!" Gibbs yelled. He hung up.
"That was Gibbs," Tony said to the two women standing in front of him.
"You guys better go," Abby answered.
"Hey, tell me about your dream later, okay?" Tony asked.
"Sure."
Tony and Ziva entered the elevator to the car park.
"How come you go all different when someone mentions Kate?" Ziva spoke up.
"What do you mean 'different'?" Tony questioned.
"You get all serious and thoughtful," Ziva pointed out. "It's just different to the Tony I know."
Tony didn't answer. The elevator stoped and the doors opened.
"Better not keep Gibbs waiting any longer," Tony said.
"You're right." Ziva replied reluctantly.
The car ride to Park Whitlam was a silent one. They arrived just as McGee and Ducky pulled up beside them.
"Where exactly is the crime scene?" McGee asked.
"A cave about 2 miles south of here," Gibbs answered, grabbing the field kits.
"This reminds me of a case I worked on when I was just starting out," Ducky said, "Two hikers had gotten lost in the woods, and when it grew dark, they decided to sleep in a cave. Little did they know that bears inhabited the cave. Needless to say, the bears didn't like this new situation."
"So, they died?" Tony asked.
Gibbs hit him over the head.
"Precisely, Anthony," Ducky stated.
They stopped in their tracks, looking around.
"This should be the spot," Ziva said, glancing at the map.
"Over there," Tony pointed to a cave, with a faint light coming out of it. "The Park Rangers must already be there."
"Crap," Gibbs muttered, "Better hurry up before they mess up the crime scene any further."
"Wait a minute!" Ziva cried out, "Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Tony asked, but was interrupted by a familiar tune.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
"What the hell is going on here!" Gibbs demanded.
"I don't know boss," McGee answered.
"That wasn't a question, McGee, just find it, and turn it off! This isn't a bloody musical!" Gibbs yelled.
"Look!" Tony cried, pointing towards the cave. The light began growing brighter, and they could make out a figure moving towards them. The music grew louder.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
The figure was a woman, in a flowing white dress. She was barefoot and her long brown hair was tousled. She brought with her a feeling of peace, her eyes sparkled and her lips curled in a smile. The NCIS team squinted, adjusting to the light. The woman looked remarkably like…
"Oh my God," Tony gasped.
"Oh my God, indeed," Ducky said, shocked.
The woman was Kate.
"It can't be!" McGee whispered.
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everythingfeels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
"Hey, guys," Kate said nervously.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
"Could we cut the damn music?" Gibbs yelled. He heard a snap in the bushes and snuck behind them. He clocked his gun. "Turn the music off!"
Two girls stood up slowly, their hands in the air.
I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Bang!
"Hey! You broke my CD player!" One of the girls cried angrily.
"You should've turned the music off when I asked, then," Gibbs snarled.
"Wait!" Kate cried.
Everyone suddenly remembered that a 'dead' Kate was standing in front of them, very much alive.
"CSIMel, Kap0w, what are you doing here?" Kate demanded.
The NCIS team turned to face the two teenage girls.
"Taking notes," CSIMel held up her notebook.
"What was with the music?" Tony asked.
"Um, for Kate's resurrection." Kap0w answered. "It's…"
" 'Iris', by the Goo Goo Dolls, which was the theme song from the movie, 'The City of Angels'."
"Wow, he's good!" CSIMel whispered to Kap0w.
Ducky took a step forward.
"Caitlin, is that really you?" He asked softly.
"It is," Kate whispered, her eyes shining.
"We thought…" McGee started to say, but stopped.
"I did." Kate replied.
"But how?" Tony asked.
"I don't really know," Kate laughed, a tear running down her cheek. "Everything is kind of cloudy right now."
Ducky gave Kate a big hug.
"Oh, Caitlin, we've missed you so much," He said.
"I don't know how it happened," Gibbs interrupted, affectionately patting Kate on the shoulder. "But we're glad to have you back."
"I'm glad to be back," Kate whispered.
Ziva stood uncomfortably to the side, watching this emotional moment. She stood silently, her hair blowing in the wind. Ziva glanced at the heavens, thinking deeply.
Why?
A/N: So there are the two chapters, complete, as promised. Sorry if you're disappointed by the resurrection, but I wanted to keep the whole spiritual aspect of it, as I plan to have Jesus as a recurring character. And if the character reactions seemed all too accepting of Kate's resurrection, be prepared for the aftermath – it'll be a beauty! (BTW – please don't interpret anything as Ziva bashing, this story is far from it!)
Please review, I can always un-resurrect Kate. Only joking, as if that'd happen. But still, review.
