Pairings: Kari and Tate
--- ---
Kate went to unlock the front door after she had picked up little Martin and Alex from day care. She went to the front door with Martin leaving Alex in the car, but the door wasn't locked. Kate assumed Tony had left it unlocked for her. Though she was still a little paranoid about her safety, which caused her to grip her gun.
With her right hand on her gun (you can never be to careful), her left hand holding Martin's small hand, she opened the door. The lights were off. Kate could only see shadows. There were at least half a dozen people, who by the looks of it were heavily armed.
"Lose it Caitlin," said a very familiar voice from behind her. Only one person said her name in that unusual distinctive tone, Ari Haswari.
Kate defiantly didn't want to drop her gun but she weighed up her odds, if she didn't get rid of her gun they would most likely kill her. She held onto Martin tightly as she slowly placed her gun on the ground, but this wasn't good enough for Ari.
"I'm not stupid Caitlin, kick it away." Kate did as she was told, still tightly holding her son's hand. Ari turned on the lights revealing several armed men, before squatted down to Martins height though he kept his distance, "Hello Martin, would you like some jellybean?" Ari asked.
Martin tried to go to Ari but Kate held on, Ari just laughed and answered his ringing phone, listened for a little, then replied in a language Kate did not understand. Obviously the other did because they looked pleased.
Kate turned around to see a Tony being pushed in the front door blind folded, with his hands behind his back and duct tape over his mouth, closely followed by a screaming Alex attempting to escape the clutches of the short man carrying her.
Kate knew she had a very little chance of escaping, as she was being tied to the chair. She was opposite Tony who was now also tied to a chair and had his blindfold remove, but was still gagged. Ari was doing all he can to aggravate Tony firstly by picking up and giving Martin a cuddle, the resemblance was obvious especially when Martin smiled. At this the tiny little two-year-old Alex bite hard on her captors hand causing him to let go of her. She ran over to Ari and kicked him in the shin as she demanded "Give me, NOW", it didn't hurt Ari the slightest. Ari laughing gave the tiny girl her beloved brother then told them to go away for a moment, and Alex walked to the corner with her older shyer brother in hand, and sat down on the couch.
Tony sat still in the chair he knew very well that Ari was trying to aggravate him, cuddling Martin that way, so he tried to remain calm. Kate had no way to communicate with the gagged Tony, so they had no chance to form an escape plan.
Kate could tell even though he was trying to hide it, that Tony was angry. What Ari did next pushed Tony over the edge. Kate starred at Tony as Ari leant down and kissed her lips, she felt a familiar swooping sensation. Instinctively she closed her eyes and kissed him back.
This made Tony go berserk. He was thrashing around, madly trying to free himself. This had been Ari's desired effect, you could easily tell by the cocky Tony-like smile.
"Ah why did you hate that so much Special Agent DiNozzo, I'm sure Caitlin here didn't hate it!" Ari asked Tony, who stopped thrashing around and looked at Kate, who avoid his eyes and looked very guilty. As he could not speak Tony stared at her with a question in his eyes, what does he mean? Kate just nodded and sobbed quietly while she watched two of the men put earplugs in Tony's ears, then put head muffs over the top.
