The elevator doors opened and Tony walked out with Kate, Ziva followed behind them. all the way here she had not paid attention to what the two people in front of her had been doing but now she was watching them intently as they sat down at Tony's desk. He pulled Kate onto his lap before kissing her neck. It was when Kate tucked a stray hair behind her ear that Ziva noticed the diamond ring on her finger. She frowned and turned to her computer.
"DiNozzo what is going on here?" Gibbs asked, he watched as Tony tickled Kate and she squirmed. He then looked up as Jenny came down. she nodded at Ziva then came round to Kate knowing Gibbs was going to kill her later for what she was about to say.
"Show me this ring, Tony flatly refused to show me" she said taking Kate's hand and examining the diamond engagement ring. She smiled and nodded.
"very nice, looks very expensive, you're a lucky girl" Jen then turned to Gibbs who by now had figured out that she had known for some time about this.
"Jen you could have told me you knew she was alive, but you told DiNozzo instead why?" Jen sighed and looked at Tony who shrugged.
"I have only known for the past year Jethro and in that time we have been trying to find a way to tell you, in the easiest possible way which we hadn't found, but now that you do know we can tell you what happened and why you weren't to know" Gibbs looked from Jen to Kate.
"I told Tony because I trust him, I always have. I could only tell one person Gibbs if I could have told more I would have told you and Abby as well but I couldn't. Tony was the first person that came to mind when I was asked who I would be able to trust. I hate the fact that I had to lie to you all and I had to get Tony to lie to you as well, but it was the only way I could stay alive. We wanted to tell you we did, we tried but nothing seemed right every plan we came up with wasn't right." Kate said but the look on Gibbs face didn't change.
"I don't care I should have been told" he said glaring at them. Kate looked back at Tony and bit her lip.
"Gibbs Kate could only tell one person, and only one person she had to take on new identities, new looks. She couldn't have a place of her own, she had to stay with me. you don't have much in a way of a home a house yes but not a home." Gibbs watched as Tony wrapped his arms tighter around Kate causing her to smile. He didn't like that, that Tony the play boy had fallen for the women he had come to call a daughter. He didn't want her heart to be broken. She ment to much to him and to NCIS to lose her now.
