The song is called 'Swans' by Unkle Bob


Gibbs was alone in the bullpen. Ziva was being discharged today and Tony was taking Her and Natalie home. He knew that they would be a good family…Even if it was DiNozzo. Gibbs sat staring at something in his hand. Kate's Badge.

By my side,
you'll never be.
By my side,
you'll. never. be.

"We miss you Kate" He said quietly. He Put the badge back into his bottom draw of his desk, the same place where it had been for the past three years. He grabbed his things to go home.

'Cause I'm fake at the seams,
I'm lost in my dreams, and
And I want you to know,
that I can't let you go.

Gibbs stood up and began to walk through the bullpen when he suddenly stopped in the middle.

"Kate"

And you're never coming home again,
And you're never coming home again.

Kate walked through the Bullpen looking at all the desks. She could remember all those nights they had to camp out at their desks. The time Tony opened that letter with the plague. The time when she and Gibbs watched as McGee told Tony about his tattoo. She could even remember the look on Gibbs' face when she accidentally spilled his Coffee. She laughed at the memory.

By my side.
you'll never be.
By my side,
you'll. never. be.

"Caitlin?" Ari called from where he was standing near the railings outside MTAC.

"Coming" She called back

I wanted to tell you I changed.
I wanted to tell you that things would be different this time.

She started to walk back through the Bullpen and she stopped.

"Gibbs"


I see you, you see me,
Differently.
I see you, you see me,
Differently.

"Can you see them?" Ziva said, water gathering in her eyes.

"Nope" Kate said quietly with sadness in her voice. She took a few more steps before she started to cry even more "Gibbs"

"Sometimes I'll be in the same place as one of them at the exact same time and I can almost hear their voices…it's almost like I'm touching them…Standing with them" Kate said softly, then her voice started to rise "This is all you get Ziva, moments with the ones you love. That's all"

Gibbs stood for only a moment, then began walking to the elevator again. Jenny was waiting back at his house for him.

You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again.

A tear escaped Kate's eye as she felt him leave.

You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again.

"Caitlin? Are you alright?" Ari asked as he walked up to her.

"I'm fine" She said wiping away the tear. She took his outstretched hand in her own and as they walked they slowly disappeared.

You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again.
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again.
