I am soooooo sorry I haven't updated for so long!! I had writers block. You can kill me if you want but at least let me finish the story.
Disclaimer: I didn't get the characters for my birthday. :'( But if you feel like giving me a belated gift I'd be happy! Sure you missed my birthday by 112 days but I'll forget about that for the characters! :)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Kate smiled, if you looked close enough, you could see the sadness in it. Everyone was so happy that Kate and the director were back noone even noticed, and if they noticed they didn't notice it much at all. If they asked Kate if she was okay, she flashed her big smile and said "I'm fine! Just a little tired, I guess." as sincerly as she could. Everyone, except Tony.
"Kate, why won't you tell me what's wrong." said Tony when everyone else had left the bullpen. "Nothing." Kate said. "You're not." "I'm fine! Jus-" Tony cut her off "Just a little tired, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know you've said that to every person who's asked. What is wrong?"
"What's wrong with you? I'll tell you. You keep asking me what's wrong." and with that Kate walked out. She walked back in. 2 mintutes later. "I forgot my... bag?"
Tony was picking through her bag. "Oh, hi. I, uh, dropped my pen in your bag and I needed to get it." Kate raised an eyebrow. She snatched the masacara bottle out of Tony's hand. "Oh, yeah and while you were looking for your 'pen' you decided to sift through my stuff!" Kate was now furious. Kate grabbed her coat, bag, and laptop and she left
Tony there feeling like an idiot when he saw her laptop. "Laptop! Ugh! Why didn't I think of that!" he yelled to noone in particular.
"Director, shouldn't we tell Gibbs?" Kate asked. "It's none of his busness." Director Shepard said. "Director! It involves his family! I think he would like to know that Shannon and Kelly are alive!" Argued Kate angrily. "Calm down, Kate. I understand that it is his family, but if-" "When." "When we find them they might be dead. Why get his hopes up? It wouldn't be right. Jethro loves them so much, I think he's been holding on to that last glimmer of hope since he found out they died. He blames himself. If he hadn't been away, they would still be alive, that's what he thinks, Kate. Do you really want to take away that last glimmer of hope? How would it affect him? He might never recover!" Kate was defeated and she knew it. "I, I hadn't thought of that." Jenny nodded her head "I know. Kate, We have to work fast." She laid out a map on the table, then stuck pins in it. "We know that Zahiv Alam and his partner, Christopher Santon were last seen at these places going under the cover names of Mohammed Jimmar and
Zachary Jackson." "Director, Gibbs is coming down the hall!" Cynthia said quickly as she poked her head in the door. "Stall him Cynthia!" Jen replied while she was quickly putting the map and such away. Kate took the photographs of Zahiv and Christopher down and hit them in the director desk drawer. "Hide Kate!" Jenny said quickly. "In the..." Jenny's eyes darted around the room and rested on the closet. "Closet!"she said quickly but quietly for by now you could hear Gibbs telling Cynthia to let him in. Kate ran in the closet. "Cynthia, please stop gabbing with Gibbs. He must have some reason to be here." Jen said. "Something is wrong with Kate."
