New chapter! Be pleased, please? This is going to be slightly out of character for Gibbs and Ari, well, mainly just Gibbs, but most likely a few parts Ari. Review!
"I finally got him." Gibbs hissed under his breath as he rose up out of his chair.
"Who?" Kate followed Gibbs with her head.
"That terrorist bastard who held you hostage!" Gibbs said as he left the squad room.
Kate hadn't seen Ari since that day a few weeks ago, but she knew he was still in the country, since he had called last night to say he loved her. Oh no, did he kill himself or something? Kate jumped out of her chair and ran after Gibbs.
"Gibbs! Where is he?" Kate slipped into the elevator as the doors closed.
"Waiting downstairs, bastard decided to do a good deed and turn himself in." Gibbs said triumphantly.
Kate turned away and inwardly panicked. How were they going to act around each other? Would he really try to blow up this building, if he is even going to? Would he kill her for Hamas?
Kate's thoughts were interrupted as the elevator doors opened and Gibbs stepped out.
"Aren't you coming Kate?" Gibbs turned back around.
"Uh, no. I'm going to go tell Tony and McGee." Kate closed the elevator doors before Gibbs could respond.
-
Kate stared at Ari as he sat in the interrogation room. He hadn't tried to blow anything up so far, but there was no way he would willingly turn himself in. Tony was leaning against the wall and watching too. Gibbs threw the door open and slapped a file on the table Ari was leaning against. Tony jumped, which made Kate laugh for the first time today.
"What's your name?" Gibbs demanded. Ari just stayed silent and smirked.
"I'm not going to ask you again, what is your name?" Gibbs shouted.
Ari's lips curled into that all too familiar smile as he replied, "I would like to speak to Special Agent Caitlin Todd."
Gibbs grabbed the file and left the room. Kate stared at Ari's face, what the hell was he planning? Tony stared at Kate, trying to read her mind.
"Kate, you're not going in there." Gibbs stated as he entered the viewing room.
"Gibbs, he isn't going to talk otherwise." Kate reasoned. She knew she shouldn't go against Gibbs, but she trusted Ari and he was planning something, she knew that.
"Can you handle that?" Gibbs asked, sounding like a concerned father.
"Could you?" Kate challenged as she left the viewing room and entered the interrogation room.
-
Ari smiled as he saw Kate enter the room, "Caitlin, how nice it is to see you again."
Kate knew he was saying it so Gibbs would think he was referring to the autopsy situation, but she knew he was actually referring to seeing her in person and not on the phone.
"Why did you want to talk to me?" Kate sat down across from him.
"You are the only person in this building who trusts me. And I need you to trust me, Caitlin. I know it may seem like a bad idea, but I need you to, please." Ari looked straight into Kate's eyes.
"Trust you for what?" Kate held Ari's stare.
Ari lowered his voice so only Kate could hear, "My position in Hamas was compromised. The only safe thing to do was to turn myself in here. I need to go to Israel and warn my father. There is no way I can return though."
"What do you want me to do about that?" Kate asked, genuinely curious.
"Call him. Tell him I got you pregnant, but I left. If I know my father, he will come over and demand a DNA test. You will tell him face-to-face when he gets here what happened, and he will find a way to get me out of this."
"I'm not lying to your father." Kate almost said Ari, but caught herself; no one knew his name yet.
"You aren't." Ari smirked.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Kate hissed. She had just found out this morning that she was pregnant; the mailed doctor's test results were sitting on her…damn it.
"You don't give me very much credit, do you?" Ari kept smirking.
"I could lose my job over this!" Kate hissed, close to tears, why the hell was he choosing here of all places to tell her that he knew she was having his baby?
"Caitlin, please? Just please do it for me, okay?" Ari begged. Kate knew she shouldn't do this, but she loved Ari, she really did. Just right now, she wanted to shoot him.
"Fine." Kate nodded as she left the room.
-
"What the hell just happened?" Tony stared at Gibbs.
"For the first time, DiNozzo, I have no clue." Gibbs shook his head as he went to find Kate.
-
"Deputy Director David?" Gibbs stopped when he heard Kate's voice around the corner.
"My name is Kate Todd, I live in Virginia, and, um, your son got me pregnant." Kate's voice lowered.
"I know it isn't your problem, but he left, and I need to know where he is!"
Gibbs was very confused. Why was Kate negotiating with a terrorist?
"You'll be here tonight? Okay…I'll have someone waiting at the airport, Deputy Director."
Kate sighed as she rubbed her head. Lying to the Deputy Director of Mossad was definitely not something she had planned on doing today.
"Care to explain what the hell just happened?" Gibbs asked as he stepped in front of Kate.
"Not really." Kate glanced at him.
"Agent Todd, you just broke a rule. Not only of mine, but of the agency as well. So if you value your job, you'll tell me what's going on right now." Gibbs struggled not to yell at her.
"He isn't a terrorist, Gibbs." Kate turned to look at him. "He is Mossad. He is working undercover in Hamas."
"And you know this how?" Gibbs narrowed his eyes at her.
"I've, we've, I,"
"Spit it out Agent Todd!" Gibbs was getting really annoyed now.
"It's not really your business, Gibbs." Kate whispered as she walked away.
-
"He's coming. Tonight." Kate said as she stood just inside the interrogation room. Ari stood and went over to her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"What is wrong, Caitlin?"
"I lied to my boss, Ari! I am going to lose my job, you are going to get killed, either by Hamas or by Gibbs, and then I am going to be unemployed AND pregnant." Kate started crying.
Ari sighed as he wrapped his arms around her, "I would never leave you like that, Caitlin."
-
Tony's jaw dropped as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. Gibbs came back in, with a new cup of coffee.
"What?" Gibbs asked as he stared at Tony's gaping mouth. Gibbs stuck a finger out and closed it.
"They're…sleeping together?" Tony wondered out loud as he stared. Gibbs turned and glared at Kate and Ari through the mirror.
Kate was crying into Ari's shirt, and Ari had his arms wrapped around her.
"Damn it! She lied to me!" Gibbs shouted as he stormed out of the viewing room.
"You better run, Katie." Tony warned Kate through the glass, not that she could hear him.
I have the next chapter written, but it won't be up tomorrow, sorry! I have plans all day and night, so maybe on Wednesday! Review! If I don't come back on Wednesday to twelve reviews, bad things might happen! I am also working on the Asfar From Afar update, so no worries about that either!
