Hi, here is the next chapter. Thanks for the reviews for my first chapter! :)
"Jenny, are you sure?"
"Yes Jethro. The director called me an hour ago. And he will transfer the suspect to us as soon as possible. He might even come himself." Jenny said with a sad look that Gibbs was unable to understand. The Mossad had found Kate's murderer, so why on earth was she sad about that? She had not known Kate, but being one of Gibbs ex-lovers, Jenny had to understand his need to lock this bastard away.
"Who was it? Who killed her?" Gibbs asked.

Tony walked into the squad-room heading directly for his desk. He wanted to avoid any questions but he had no luck.
"How was therapy?" McGee asked.
Tony snorted: "She said, next time I meet her in my dreams, I should try to talk with her."
Mulder looked up: "What else do you do with her, if not talking?"
Tony knew he was trapped. He had told his friends about those dreams and he had mentioned that he had kissed this woman but the other stuff…
"Well… other things. But how am I supposed to control what I do in my dreams?" Tony asked.
"It's possible. I've read an article about it. You have to concentrate on your goal before you go to sleep. If you get her into talking, you might be able to make her vanish for sure." Mulder said.
McGee was following his own thoughts: "What did you say you are doing in your dreams?"
"Mind your own business, probie. Where is Gibbs?" Tony said and tried to distract them. He didn't want to talk about it.
It worked on McGee but not on Mulder for she was still looking at him with raised eyebrows.
"With the director. Some important business."
"Director Shepard. When is he going to tell us, that they are dating?" Tony wondered still trying to distract his colleagues.
"Probably never. Cause they are not." Mulder said turning her attention back to her computer.
"TONY!" somebody shouted and he looked at a very angry Abby who just exited the elevator.
"Abby, what's up?" he asked.
"Wendy is up. She called again for another fitting! If I have to try on 10 different dresses in a pastel color, I swear that I will hurt her!"
"She is the bride, Abby. It's her special day so just play along." Mulder said.
Abby turned around and approached her desk like a hunting tiger: "Did you say anything Agent Fox?" she asked with a dangerous voice.
Mulder just looked at her: "You are not the first to make fun of my name. And if you have hearing-issues I advise you to go and see a doctor."
The only thing that stopped Abby from slapping her was Gibbs. He passed them with a stern look on his face and seemed tense.
"We have a case?" Tony asked.
"No, I want you to go home but don't turn off your cell-phones."
McGee and Tony looked at each other surprised. Mulder just stared at their Boss and Abby was kind of nervous all the sudden. Something was not right. When nothing happened Gibbs looked up at them.
"I said, go. Take some overtime. If you keep the Navy paying out those extra hours we will soon be blank." Still no one moved. "DiNozzo don't you have a wedding to plan?"
"Uhm… yeah Boss, I'll be out." Tony said grabbing his stuff.
"Gibbs, I have still some work for Agent Allisters team…." Abby started but Gibbs looked at her: "You needed to go to a fitting. Why don't you take Mulder with you? She'll be bridesmaid too."
The women looked at each other with narrowed eyes: "Sure, why not." Abby grumbled.
"Come on Ladies I'll give you a ride." Tony said.

Wendy was waiting for them outside the store. She had already picked out her wedding dress so it was okay for Tony to stay. Soon he wished he hadn't. Abby was right. Wendy had also invited her two friends Samantha and Lucia, which were now laughing and chatting and drinking champagne. He just sat there and watched them. Was this the fourth or the fifth shade of pink the girls had to try on? He didn't know. He noticed that Abby was very quiet. She put on the dresses that were given to her, tuned if she was asked to but she was not happy. And Tony knew it had little to do with the dresses.
After another hour he excused himself and drove home to fix dinner. Wendy came home two hours later. She gave him a kiss and started chatting right away.
"We found the perfect dress for the bridesmaids. Pastel yellow, with tiny pastel pink ribbons on it. Of course they need to have all light hair, so I thought maybe you could ask Abby to change her black into some warm brown or something? She didn't seem happy today so I was afraid to ask. … How was therapy?"
Tony took a deep breath. Ever since Wendy was planning the wedding she got all this ideas of how perfect it had to be. She was really overdoing it. He took the plates out of the cupboard and set them on the table.
"Good… I think we are making progress." He lied.
Wendy smiled happily. It had been a shock, when she found out the nature of his dreams. But she loved him so deeply that she'd do anything to make him happy, and how could she be jealous of some woman who didn't even exist?

McGee was home, when someone knocked on his door. He went to open. It was Abby and she was furious. As soon as she was in his apartment she started walking up and down in his living-room talking nonsense. But Tim knew it had to be about Wendy and Agent Mulder.
"And you know, Wendy is all fussing about Fox' hair. It looks so good with the dress. And she is so tall so the dress will not need to be changed and her fingernails are so perfect and her smile is so cute and her ass so small and eyes charm with the ribbon and... and…. And…"
Tim took her by her shoulders and led her into the kitchen, setting her down onto a chair.
"What is it with you and Mulder?" he asked while handing her a glass of water.
Abby looked at him sadly: "She replaced her. She replaced Kate. Now Wendy is acting as if Kate was never with us."
Tim knew what she meant. Wendy, Abby and Kate had always been good friends. They went out at night having drinks or met in the afternoon for coffee. Wendy even stopped by the Navy Yard from time to time to bring some homemade cookies. But know that Kate was gone Wendy was over that too quickly.
"Maybe Wendy is dealing with her death in working hard on her wedding-plans." He said but Abby was not really listening.
"I want her back, Tim. I want Kate back!" Abby started to cry and all he could do was hugging her.

Tony had tried to concentrate before he went to sleep. He concentrated on the woman to vanish but somehow he was not sure, he really wanted that. It was strange, he loved those dreams and it was not about the sex… or maybe it was, a little. But there was something right about these dreams.
It was black around him. There was nothing. No floor no street no trees, no sky, simply nothing. But he was not afraid. It always started like that. First there was emptiness and then a surrounding formed. This time it was a room that looked like a hotel-room. The walls had the color of sand. There were two beds in there and there was this woman, sitting in the bed next to the window, her back facing him.
"There you are." He said.
She didn't move. "Go away."
He smiled: "Why did you come here, if you didn't want to?"
"I have no choice, I'm with you every night."
He slowly walked over; she was still not looking at him. The last time she had expected him in a nightgown that left little to his fantasy. Now she was fully clothed and still refused to look at him.
He set down next to her and tried to look her in the eyes but she pulled away, so he could not see her face.
"What's the matter?" he asked concerned capturing her chin softly and making her look at him.
He drew in a sharp breath. The area around her left eye was swollen; she wasn't even able to open it. The bruise was dark red and looked ugly. Over her eyebrow was a wound, not bleeding but it must have when it was fresh.
"What happened?" he asked shocked: "Who did this?" he was going to kill the man who did this to her… could you kill a dream?
She just looked down.
"Was it your husband? No? Your father?"
"I… I just have a dangerous job and today wasn't one of my best. But you should see the other one." She said. "Now would you please leave?"
He didn't, he stayed. With each touch on her face the angry red color and the swell vanished and within minutes she was beautiful and smiling warmly at him.
As he pulled up her shirt he saw more bruises all over her body but he wanted them to go away and with every light touch the disappeared. 'Mulder was right, I can control my dreams' a voice in the back of his mind said.
The woman had kissed him to thank him. And they made love again and again. Until the alarm clock pulled him out of his sleep.
