Abby had found fingerprints, ones that did not belong to the victim. Kate hurried to run the prints through all the databases she could, praying that this guy had a record or was part of a government agency. At least that way they could identify him. her fingers tapped on the desk, it was late but she couldn't let this wait. A split second later coffee was placed in front of her. she looked up in bright surprise. Gibbs was staring right at her, she felt a shiver go down her spine. She noticed in his jacket pocket he carried a letter. She was confused it appeared to be the same letter he had received a few days ago. She gave him a warm smile as he said "what have you got?" "running our perps prints through all the databases i can. He's got to have a record" he nodded and she said "thanks for the coffee gibbs" he smiled and placed the letter on his desk as he sat behind it, he took out a pen and paper and began to write. His face became serious, but with a hint of affection behind his eyes, she wished he would look at her like that. His phone rang a few minutes later and his face fell back into that practiced impartiality. "yeah?" his gaze turned upwards toward the directors office. He hung up and was back on his feet again, holding his coffee. She watched him stalk up the stairs and when he disappeared from sight her gaze was immediately drawn back to the letter. She knew she shouldn't, she knew that he would probably catch her, but she was dying of curiosity. She glanced around, making sure she was alone, then slowly she stood up. she couldn't believe she was actually going to do this.
With a quick little movement she stood behind his desk and stared down at the letter and the folded piece of paper gibbs had been writing. She decided to open the folded piece first. With trembling fingers she opened the paper and gasped in surprise.
Dear Kate,
I wondered how long it would take you to let your curiosity overwhelm you, i would assume that you have no knowledge of the letter beneath this. That is of course judging by your repetitive curious glances. Before you read it, just let me say that you can blame Dinozzo.
Gibbs
She trembled, he had addressed her a letter? With hesitant movements she touched the other letter. She opened it slowly and her mouth fell open in shocked surprise. Her own handwriting stared back at her, declaring her heart to gibbs...she felt her heart painfully thump in her chest. Then a shadow blocked out the light. she looked up in surprise and felt her heart give another painful thump, it was another agent. She smiled as nicely she could and folded up the letter sliding it away. He said "agent todd, i could really use your help" she nodded and walked with him to the elevator. She turned to the agent, she paused as she struggled to remember his name "so what did you need help with" he stepped close and said "i think i may have hit your car" he seemed nervous, she just smiled "alright i'll check the damage".
She got outside and looked confused toward her car, there was no damage, before she could react something clamped over her mouth and a strange sickly chemical smell invaded her senses, she struggled against the darkness the smell brought but before long she succumbed her last coherent thought was 'Gibbs!'
