"Ari has been hurt" Ziva said, stepping into Kate's apartment, Kate closing the door and quickly turning to her.

"Is he alright?" She asked, her hand gripping the material of the shirt she was wearing, a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"Two days ago, the people Ari was with, their enemies had planted a bomb in a café they frequented. He was caught in the blast. Our father requested that he be sent to the Israeli embassy"

"So he's alright?" Kate asked.

Ziva sighed "He was still unconscious the last I heard. He should be here now. I believe our father has found out about you"

Kate let out the breath she was holding and nodded slightly "We'll deal with that, but can I go see him?"

Ziva smiled slightly "Yes. That is why I am here"

Kate was out the door before Ziva could even blink.

Kate ignored the looks she got as she and Ziva walked down a hall at the Israeli Embassy. Ziva guided her into a room at the end of the hall and quietly opened the door.

Ari was sitting up slightly in the bed, a magazine in his lap, flicking through the pages, his arm wrapped tightly in a bandage.

He looked up when he heard the door opened and put the magazine on the table next to him.

"Hey" Kate smiled walking into the room "How bad is it?" She asked as she sat on the edge of his bed, Ziva leaning against the now closed door.

"Nothing is broken, just very bruised" He said "I was outside the cafe when the bomb went off. The people I was with were killed"

Kate put a hand on his bandaged arm and raised an eyebrow.

"A piece of glass" He shrugged.

"I should be going" Ziva said with a slight smile "Papa wants me back at Mossad by tomorrow afternoon"

"Thank you Ziva" Kate said.

"Shalom" Ari said to Ziva as she opened the door.

"Shalom" She smiled.

A few minutes after Ziva left, Kate poked Ari in the chest.

"You frightened me" She said "Ziva shows up at my door, and my first thought is that you're dead" She said crossing her arms. He put his hand on the back of her neck and pulled her down to him.

"You should not worry so much" He murmured against her lips.

For the next hour Kate murmured things from the case that she had worked that week, the case with the priest keeping the woman underground in a 1950's style room. Her head was resting on his shoulder as they laid on the small bed, she was making sure not to put any pressure on his bruises. He was running his hand gently up and down her arm, the bandage every now and then rubbing against her skin.

"I should tie you to the bed" Kate said after a while "Maybe then you'll stop trying to get yourself killed"

Ari smirked against Kate's hair "Yes. You do seem to like doing that"

Kate blushed and buried her face in his neck, making him chuckle.

Three days after he had left the Israeli Embassy Ari's father had requested him back at Mossad, which didn't please Kate at all. It had been 2 months since that day and she had heard nothing from him.

Until today.

"Ari Haswari's back in the country" Gibbs said with a snarl as he strode into the Bullpen late that night. Abby, who was sitting on a small filing cabinet behind McGee's desk reached forward and put a hand on McGee's shoulder.

"How do you know Boss?" Tony asked from his desk.

"Undercover FBI Agent recognized him at the airport" Gibbs said walking around to sit at his desk. "Until I say, everyone stays in the building. Got it?" He said.

After a few minutes Kate grabbed her phone and sent blank text to Ari. Seconds later she resived one back saying: Outside.

"I'm going to go down and see Ducky" Kate said standing up. Abby looked at her oddly as she walked away. Once the elevator doors closed Abby jumped up and walked out of the Bullpen and to the elevator, watching as the n umbers at the top lit up. It missed Ducky's lab and went straight to the ground floor, so Abby waited until it had come back up and followed Kate.

Abby followed her once she spotted her and followed her of the Navy Yard and out to a park across from the entrance. She hid behind a tree and watched silently.

"Ari" Kate hissed into the darkness.

Ari walked out of the darkness with his hands in the pockets of his black motorcycle jacket, his head cocked to the side and a smirk on his face.

From behind the tree Abby gasped.

"I should probably yell at you for not telling me you were back" She said stepping slowly towards him with her arms crossed.

"But you are not going to" He said, now within a foot of her.

She lifted her hand and ran her fingers from his forehead down to his cheek "Hello" She smiled.

He leaned down and kissed her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and pulling her close to him. Her arms wrapped around his waist under his jacket.

"Oh my god" Abby whispered wide eyed as she watched.

"Shalom" He murmured against her lips.

"You should go home, I'll be home soon. Once Gibbs deems it safe that you're not going to shoot me in the head" She smirked, letting him go.

He nodded with a smirk of his own and lifted her hand to kiss it before wandering back into the shadows. Abby quickly ran back to the Navy Yard and into NCIS Headquarters just before Kate did.

Kate walked down a hall in the NCIS building with a small smile when suddenly she was pulled into a closet.

"What-" Kate said as the door closed. A light turned on and Abby stood in front of her with her arms crossed "Abby?"

"You, and that terrorist! You were kissing him! What are you thinking Kate?!" She said "I mean, he shot Gibbs! And Gerald! And he kidnapped you! Twice! And-"

Crap.

"Abby. I know" Kate said with a sigh after her brain had finished having a mental breakdown on her "You have to promise not to say anything to anyone. Especially anyone here at NCIS"

"I promise" Abby said with a small nod. Realization hit her "He's your mystery guy!"

Kate smiled slightly "Yeah"

"But he's a terrorist! What are you thinking?!"

"He is not Hamas Abby! He is Mossad, undercover. He's not evil" Kate said, a hint of anger in her voice.

"Whoa. So...how long have you two..."

"How about after Gibbs lets us leave, you come to my apartment. You know too much already and Ari can explain things better"

Abby nodded, still shocked "Ok"

Kate smiled and opened the door, it felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders from telling Abby "Ok"

When they walked out of the closet, Tony was standing there grinning at the two.

"What were you two just doing in there?"
