Part 7

The evening out with Tony, Max and Kate had been fun, Gibbs thought. Especially with Kate. He liked her a lot, but after three divorces he wasn't sure about his feelings. Even he knew for sure that he felt more than friendship for Special Agent Caitlin Todd. He ever thought Tony and Kate would come together, even with Rule 12. But now, Tony had had his true love back in his life and Kate was still alone. As much as he knew.

This evening would be a great change to test the ground. Gibbs opened the door for Kate and let her enter the room. When he was in, he locked to door. One unannounced entering by Tony was enough.

Kate looked kind of tired. She had sat down on the sofa, in front of the TV.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" Gibbs asked. "I'm sure there is a good one running."

"I don't know. There is just one good movie. But it is a bit funny romance."

"Go ahead and watch."

"Will you join me later? I'm sure there is a movie you like better."

"I take just a quick shower and then I will join you. I like a good laugh. Why do you think I wouldn't watch something like that?"

"Well, most of the men I went to a movie with, like action or horror. Nobody went to a comedy or romantic one with me. So I thought all men would like them." She said kind of apologizing.

"That doesn't work for me. I think we have enough action and horror at work. I don't need this on TV. So what movie do you want to see?"

"You've got mail."

"Good choice, when I saw the movie first I liked it much. I'll be back in a few." Gibbs went to take a shower. Only ten minutes later he came back, sat done next to Kate and opened a bottle of wine from the mini bar. Kate took the offered glass and snuggled up against the corner of the sofa.

"So Gibbs, tell me why you like this movie." Kate asked.

"I like it because of the story. Two persons who do hate each other fell in love without knowing it. It shows how you can be wrong about a person."

"Yeah, it is just like real life."

"What do you mean, Kate?"

"I think you know it, Gibbs. Look at the two of us. At home we don't speak much and now we are here, watching a movie together, sharing a bottle of wine and having a nice evening. I don't think we would have done this in Washington."

"But I would have liked that. I really enjoy this night, Kate. The best I had in many years."

Kate looked up at him. His face showed an expression she had never seen with him before. She wasn't sure if she liked that. Gibbs sat to her more closely now. Kate wasn't sure when he had moved. But now he was close, almost too close. Gibbs bent down to her and kissed her carefully, not sure about her reaction. To his surprise she kissed him back, passionately.

Gibbs couldn't believe it. Here he was, with Kate, the woman he was in love with since she started to work for him and she kissed him back.

Kate had similar thoughts.

As the night moved on, so did Kate and Gibbs. Gibbs finally carrying her to the bed, where they explored each other…

At the next morning, neither Gibbs nor Kate was sure if it had really happened. But Gibbs was lying next to her in the bed. The night before he had spent on the sofa, being totally Gentleman.

"Did it really happen, Gibbs?" Kate asked sleepy.

"I think it had! Any regards?"

"No! You?" Kate smiled.

"Only one. For waiting this long. This was definitive the best night of my life."

"Same here. But we have a problem now!"

"Rule 12?" Gibbs guessed. Kate just nodded.

"I don't see a problem. I'm the team-leader and I promise you not to fire you because you got involved with one of the team."

"That's great, but what about Tony?"

"Tony? You want to invite him?" Gibbs smiled at her.

"I didn't know you were this funny, Gibbs. I just mean shall we tell him or are we going to hide our relationship."

"Well, I don't think I can hide my feelings for you, not when I know you that you are at least a little bit interested in me. Let him figure it out alone. So, ready to start the day? Wake up Tony? Finish this case?"

"Sounds good. You shower first." Gibbs got up and went to the bathroom. On his way he took Kate with him.

Tony and Max were already up. They met in front of their doors, each couple on their way to get the other. Together they went for breakfast. Gibbs and Kate holding hand all the time.

After breakfast they went back into Gibbs room to call Abby.

"Both of them had been there, even they had been in water this long. But luckily up there is a very rarely mineral both of them had in their lungs. And I got another result. Alec was the father of Claire's baby. Such a tragic."

"Thanks Abbs. See you in a while."

That was good news. Now they know they could follow other leads as well.

"So, what's next? We know they had been here but we have no way to arrest Lydecker. There is no connection between them." Kate asked.

"We need to go in. That's the only way to gather information." Max said.

"No way. You are not going inside this compound." Tony said in a voice no arguing allowed. That didn't matter to Max.

"You know I'm the only one of us who is capable of going inside. Lydecker will love to see me. He is still looking for me, you know."

"No Max. You are not going inside. There is no way to get you back. I don't want to loose you."

"You have already freed me once out of Manticore. You can do this again."

"No, I can't. Back then I had friends who helped me getting you back. They aren't here now. But there is another way. I will show my presence to Lydecker. He knows that we are friends and that you would do everything to free me. That would be his chance to get you. Not that I would allow that. But you with Gibbs and Kate on the outside can free me. I believe in you."

Gibbs and Kate looked unbelievable. Tony was ready to put his life in danger to save other lives. That was something they imagined he wouldn't do as the playboy he was for them.

"I don't like this plan. It's your choice if you do it. Everything you do is fine with me. This is a case we never had before and I think we won't solve it on ordinary ways." Gibbs said.

"Thanks Boss, knowing that you are here to help Max getting me free is a good thought. Just don't take to much time."

"Logan, you don't have to do that. I'm sure there is another way." Max tried to change his mind.

"I don't think so. Max you know, Lydecker hates me because of my connection to you and 'Eyes Only'. With getting me he gets the change to get to you and 'Eyes Only'. What does a guy need more? And I'm not afraid. I know you will get me free."

"Of course I will get you back. I have some friends, too. And they would love to kick Lydecker's ass." Now Max smiled again.

"Good, so we need a way to get his attention. I think 'Eyes Only' is back from holiday leave."

Max and Tony went to their room. There he began to put a short spot together for Lydecker. This time he was only going to reach him, not the whole city. Tony kept the spot running for 24 hours, so he could be sure the Colonel got his message.

On the evening they had dinner with Gibbs and Kate and the night he spent with Max. Tony didn't know when he was going to see her again.

So what do you think? Like the Kibbs part? Tell me about it.
