The ride had been very quiet. Gibbs had kept checking on her several times just to make sure she was still there. He knew it was silly but he couldn't help himself. Sometimes she would look back at him and tell him to stop worrying. That she was fine.

"I thought you were taking me home?" Kate said as she got out of his car.

"I did. I didn't say which home now did I?" He waited as she came to stand next to him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and felt her arms do the same around him. "When you were taken I almost lost it." Those lovely brown eyes seemed surprised. "And that DVD we got. It hurt to watch."

Kate didn't know what to say. She was getting used to this new side of Gibbs she had never seen before but to hear him admit he almost lost it. That was something completely different. She cupped his face with one of her hands. He kissed her palm as she did.

"When you said how much I meant to you all I could think of was if you knew how much you mean to me." He waited to get her reaction.

"I do know and back then, I did know." She hoped he would believe that.

He nodded right before he leaned in and kissed her. It was supposed to be a quick kiss but it deepened as she hungrily bit lightly on his lower lip. He opened his mouth to greet her tongue with his own. It was a passionate kiss then suddenly her head moved and his nose hurt like hell. He drew back and without even thinking about it one of his hands moved to his face.

"Sorry, sorry." Kate backed a step away feeling ashamed to have forgotten about that Gibbs was hurt.

He didn't want her to feel that way. Not about this. "It's fine Kate."

"I just got so lost in the kiss." She looked down at the ground feeling incredible embarrassed. She raised her head when she heard him chuckling.

"So did I." His lips twitched upwards and as he had hoped a small smile soon was then on her lips as well.

He slid an arm around her and together they walked to his house.

Abby made sure her lab was just the way she liked it before going home. She had a day off. What was she going to do? She wanted to spend some time with Kate but wasn't sure of Gibbs would like that. However, no one had said anything although now it was pretty clear there was something going on between those two. She heard some noise and turned to see Jimmy walking in. "Where were you? I thought you were going to talk to Kate when she got back?"

"Yeah but wanted her to have some time with you guys first. I'll talk to her on Monday."

"Jimmy, Jimmy." Abby took a few steps closer to him. "Don't be nervous. Just tell her how you feel. Remember what she said?"

He should have known Abby would see through him. "I know I know."

"I am going over later today so why don't you go with me?"

"You are going over to Kate's?"

"No, I'm going over to Gibbs." At the small but still surprised look she got back she figured that maybe not everyone had figured it out. "

"Ah well, I am sure he want to make sure she is going to be ok." Another thing Jimmy should have known. Of course Gibbs would want to make sure himself that Kate would be alright.

"Ah but Jimmy, it's more than that. They are so into each other." This time the response she got from Jimmy was a very surprised if not shocked face. "But no telling anyone. They haven't said anything so ssshhh." She put a finger to her mouth to make her point.

"I won't. If I can keep her other secret I can keep this." Jimmy felt really privileged to know about Kate. Sure Gibbs had objected but only once. Gibbs had also warned him about saying anything to anyone but not anymore then he had done with the others so he felt honored to know.

"Yeah, isn't it amazing? Who would have thought that Kate was a vampire?" Abby beamed at him. "I wonder if she transforms into a bat to."

Jimmy couldn't help but to laugh. "And if she does?"

"That would be so cool. Still, just the fact that she is a vampire and …." Abby stopped herself. She was going to say 'drink blood' but wasn't sure if all the details really needed to be told. "..and that alone is just huge!"

He had to agree with that. "It's different. Makes you wonder though doesn't it?"

"Wonder what?"

"If we have met other vampires before and just didn't know it." Jimmy found it rather amusing how big Abby's eyes grew. Something she hadn't thought of.

Could she have met other vampires before? Damn, what if she had? And she had missed it. "No thinking about that now. We got Kate." She smiled at him again as she took her box. "Come on Jimmy. Let's get go."

Abby linked an arm with Jimmy and they made their way over to the elevator. "Want me to give you a call before I go over to Gibbs?"

Jimmy really didn't need to think about that for too long. "Yeah, I'd like that."

The doors opened and soon the pair was out of sight missing the figure that stepped out of the shadows.

She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Kate Todd was a vampire? Those existed? This was more then she could ever have hoped for. Jenny Shepard smiled to herself as she walked away.

As he got back to the couch he halted. Kate had closed her eyes as she was resting hear head and she looked so peaceful. He really didn't want to disturb her. One of her eyes opened and he knew he was busted. "I just couldn't resist looking at you." He said as he walked and sat down next to her. He gave her a glass of water as she leaned forward.

"Thanks." She drank it down in one fast motion.

"You want more?"

"I'm good." She sat the glass on the table. "What will happen to the DVD?"

He knew what she was talking about. "Abby's is taking care of that. No one else needs to see it."

She nodded. Suddenly she felt him touch her forehead. "What?"

"On that DVD, you had a bump on your forehead. It's gone." He stroke gently with his right thumb on her skin.

She didn't say anything. She just enjoyed his touch.

"However, you still look a bit worn out and Ducky did say you need some more rest. I know you've been 'resting' already but Doctor's orders." He removed his hand only to have Kate grab it and give it a light kiss.

"Since when do you obey Doctor's orders?" She winked at him.

"Since they concern you I do. Come one, you take my bed and…." He didn't get very far with that scenario.

"No, will not. You look tired as well. I can take the couch." She stood up and started fixing his couch.

He knew better then to argue with her when she had that voice. "Ok, you win." He stood up as well but embraced her from behind. "You need anything. Anything at all you know where I am."

She leaned in to him savoring the moment. She knew if she brought it up he would gladly let her sleep in the same bed as him but he was right. She still felt a bit exhausted. She felt him gently touching her under her shirt where he had shot her. "You don't have to feel guilty about shooting me. Remember, I told you to."

She knew him all too well. "I know but it was difficult. I hope I never have to do something like that again." He tightened his embrace and for a moment they stayed just like that.

Jenny wasn't sure what to do with the information she had just heard. So, Kate Todd was a vampire. If Abby and Jimmy knew then the odds were Gibbs knew too. So that way she shouldn't go. There had to be some other way. She wasn't going to fire her. She had no reason too besides Kate was a good agent. She drummed with her fingers on her desk. Since this was a secret so maybe simply tell Kate that she knew and Gibbs had told her. Perhaps that would rock Kate's trust in Gibbs a bit. That wouldn't do it alone thought would it? Maybe there was some undercover work she could send Kate on to get her away a bit? No, that would be too soon and Gibbs would get suspicious. Jenny just wasn't sure what to do. The only thing she did know was that she was still in love with Gibbs and wanted him back. She just wasn't sure how to go about that. There had to be some way.

''''''''''''''

Oy, I am actually not sure what to have Jenny do here. I had ideas but well, not sure if any of them will work. I am really unsure now. So if anyone out there has any Jenny's-plan-to-get-Gibbs-back ideas then send me a message. I'd love to hear them.
