Authors note: Hi guys, thanks for reading my story,

She was warm, she snuggled deeper into her blanket...blanket? Her mind forced her to take knowledge of this. She sat bolt upright, her fingers clutching the warm woolly brown blanket. The scent of sawdust and coffee surrounded her, she let herself inhale this scent, her mind still foggy from sleep, "nice dream Kate?" tony's voice cut through her fog almost instantly. She let the blanket drop from her fingers. Tony laughed louder and she fixed him with her most piercing glare "not that you would know tony" this however only served to increase his amusement. She decided it was a losing battle and returned her attention to the blanket 'why would someone give me a blanket?' She shook her head, and placed the blanket, carefully folded into the bottom drawer next to her picture of her mother.

Gibbs strode into the bullpen, placing a coffee on her desk as he did so. She blinked; surprised he hadn't given her coffee before. She smiled in thanks and glanced at Dinozzo the second Gibbs was facing away from them. His eyes were wide and accusing, she made a frantic shrug. He pointed at her, she shook her head. However despite his accusations she picked up the coffee and took a good long draught. She was once more stunned, how did Gibbs know how she liked her coffee?

She didn't have much time to think on this as Gibbs answered his mobile, within a moment he barked "Abby's got something" almost immediately he was back on his fee, his graceful pace taking him almost past the bullpen before she had even moved from her seat. She shook herself and leapt up, determined to keep up with Gibbs. As hurried as she was, she didn't forget the coffee and she could have sworn that as she dashed into the elevator Gibbs had the traces of a faint smile on his face.
