I sat frustrated at my desk a few minutes after Ziva left. I can't believe they transferred her! I was happy to be back at my old desk, but the look on Tony's face was killing me. Sighing I walked over and cleared my through to announce myself.

"Oh, hey Kate." He muttered taking notice of me. "You okay?" I asked.

He looked up at me and pretended like he didn't know what I was talking about. "Yeah, I'm fine." He lied. "Tony, common tell me whats going on." I have to admit I was really getting worried about him now. His face looked so, well hopeless, and sad.

He sat there for a moment, probably thinking about what to do. Then his eyes stole a look at Ari who was sitting in the desk behind McGee's. The one Tim used before he joined our team.

Now I got it, he didn't want Ari overhearing anything he said. "Is it Ziva?" I whispered. He nodded. "I take it you're in pretty serious with her then?" I asked softly. "Well, we're ah, dating." He muttered.

I gasped. I have never, ever seen Tony DiNozzo head over heels for a girl, not because of her ass. I giggled.

He looked irritated now. And now he knew that I knew he really liked her. "Shut up." He growled in response to my giggle. "No I don't think I will, in fact I'm going to see how much Abby knows about this!" I said. "No!" Tony shouted. That caused Ari to become more alert, and for him to stare at us. I continued to smile as I headed for the elevator. "Tell Abby not to tell anyone else!" Tony called after me as the elevator doors closed. I shook my head and tried to imagine Tony and Ziva together. Normally I'm not one to gossip but this was unbelievable information.

"Abby!" I shouted as I ran into her lab. "Yeah Kate?" She asked as she turned off her music. "How much do you know about Tony and Ziva?" I asked. She gasped at me. "They didn't!" She yelled. "They did." I said. "Ohh, Boss man is going to kill them!"

"I know, whatdya say we get Tony down here and tease him." She wrinkled her nose. "Common Kate that's mean." She said as she went back to work on her computer. I resisted the urge to pout.

"But Abbs!" I started. "No buts Kate, how would you feel if it was you being teased?" She asked. "But that's different I'm not with anyone like Ziva!"

"Oh really?" She asked, a mischievous grin appeared on her face. "What about you and badass mossad boy?" She asked. I feel myself go beet red as she howled with laughter. "Abby!" I yelled.

"Oh, Kate admit it, you've always been a sucker for the foreign, bad, tight ass, unbearably cute type!" She laughed again as I felt my face go even deeper red. Ziva was right! It seemed everyone knew about Ari and me.

"You know Kate, seems like a little more than a one night stand to me." I really didn't think I could get any redder. That's when I heard the elevator ding and Gibbs, Ari, McGee, and Tony step into Abby's lab. "What's going on?" McGee asked when he saw Abby unable to stop laughing and my red face.

"It's nothing McGee." I growled. Abby stopped laughing and thankfully didn't say anything. "What's up Boss man?" She asked Gibbs. Any news on Eli?" He asked. "Nope nothing." She answered.

Suddenly the phone went off. "Maybe I spoke too soon." Abby said as she picked it up. She listened for a while before saying 'sure' and hanging up. "That was Ziva, apparently form now on she's only going to call us at night, and the FBI thinks Eli is somewhere within a 20 miles in any direction from this agency." She reported.

"20 miles?" Gibbs asked angrily. "Yep." Abby answered. "Well have to wait until tonight for mo-

Suddenly a sniper bullet went right through Abby's window and past my face and then landed in Abby's Major Mass Speck. "Oh, crap!" I shouted. "Down!" Gibbs yelled and before I could blink Ari was on top of me and we were laying on the ground with everyone else.

I head Gibbs yelling into his phone, I heard McGee yelling Abby's name, and I felt Ari's eyes melting into mine as several bullets now shot through the windows and glass falling on us. Ari broke eye contact with me and shielded my head from the falling glass.

I squeezed my eyes shut and grabbed a fist full of Ari's shirt. He comforted me by wrapping one around around my waist while the gunfire was still going on.

Suddenly there was more gunfire and glass stopped coming down on us. I lifted my head up and looked around, then armed NCIS agents stormed into Abby's lab. "Clear!" One yelled. "What's going on?" Gibbs demanded.

"Why don't you take a look for yourself?" An agent suggested and motioned that it was okay to stand up. Ari got off of me and helped me up. I turned to the shattered windows to see Eli David and six other men cuffed while several others lay dead.

Think it's over? NOPE! We still have to see what happens to Ari and Kate! Review please!
