Growing closer
Tony ran up the beach laughing he looked back at Kate who was chasing him. "Get back here DiNozzo your gonna pay for that" Tony laughed and kept running.
"Catch me if you can Katie" Kate rolled her eyes and chased after him.
Tony ducked behind a life guard stand, he watched Kate run past then stop. She spun around looking for him, he waited till she had turned around again and ran up behind her picking her up and spinning her round. "Got ya"
Kate screamed she placed her hands on the hands that were wrapped around her waist, she tried to move them she then realized it was Tony.
"Shit Tony don't do that" she yelled he laughed and placed her down gently, but he left his arms wrapped around her, he lent next to her ear "oh get over it Katie" she elbowed him in the ribs making him fall over gasping for breath.
"Ouch"
"Serves you right"
"Cow"
"That's a lovely thing to say to a friend Tony"
"Who says I'm your friend?"
"Gee thanks"
Tony got up and they made their way back down the beach. Tony bumped Kate with his hip. "Hey" she laughed.
"We leave tomorrow how you feeling about going back?" Kate looked up at Tony as she asked the question. He shrugged he'd been avoiding this topic for the last couple of weeks he wasn't sure if he wanted to go back he'd been totally different since leaving DC. He didn't want to return to the playful frat boy he liked the new side of him.
"You don't have to change back just because your back in DC you can be who ever you want to be if your friends think its weird well they'll have to just have to get used to it" Kate said as if reading his mind he smiled and bumped her again.
Tony and Kate walked out of the Airport at DC this time both of them were dressed for the DC weather. "Ok one thing Kate did you even think of where your going to live?"
"Yes Tony I did I have a flat about ten minutes away from NCIS"
Tony laughed and rolled his eyes.
"Ok then Katie want some help setting up?"
"I think I can manage"
"Ok but the offers there if you want it"
Tony walked into NICS on Monday to find Kate arguing with James he chuckled before going to help. "Is there a problem here James?"
"Yeah she reckons she works here now on your team funny hey?"
"Not really she does James this is Kate Todd she transferred here from California"
"Oh"
Tony laughed as he and Kate walked off. "Don't worry about James he was here with a terrorist who got in a couple of years ago been jumpy ever since" Kate nodded.
They entered the elevator together. Tony laughed Kate turned to him "what?"
"Few rules you should know about first don't ever drink Gibbs's coffee. Learn all his rules know them. If you ever want to talk in privet this is the only room that is privet."
"Oh and Kate don't be afraid to break rule 12"
"What's rule 12?" The doors opened at their level Tony smiled and walked out.
