Chapter 5: When I'm Gone (Cups)

A/N: These next two chapters are songs requests fromHope'sFace. The true song is Cups (When I'm Gone), but since this chapter about Kate's death, I just named the chapterWhen I'm Gone.

This takes place a little bit before Ari shoots Kate.

For this chapter, I recommend you to look up the song and listen to it before reading the chapter. It will make more sense.

Do any of you have a line from a song that reminds you of either the team's dynamics, how the act like a family or any pair you ship at NCIS? Please put it in either the review box or PM me. Make sure you include the pairing or say "team song", the song title, who sings the song, and the line that reminds you of the pair or the team.

The characters I can write about are: Abby, McGee, Tony, Ziva, Gibbs, Kate (the person, not the fish), Jenny, Mike, Vance, Ari, Ducky, Palmer, CGIS Abby, and Fornell.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, the actors/actresses who play them, or the songs that I use.

Kate was looking through the dead petty officer's bank statements, when a paper ball was launched at her and landed on her keyboard.

"What do you want, Tony?" "Nothing. I just wanted to see what you would do."

Kate gave him a death glare.

"Well, unlike you, I'm actually working. Anyway, you better do your work. Gibbs will be back any minute from his coffee break."

"Oh, Kate," he sighed, "I did do my work. I interviewed the petty officer's mother, just like Gibbs asked. All I have to do is wait for him to come back, so I can can tell him the information the mother gave me. In the meantime, anyways, I will bug you."

"You know what, Tony? One of these days, you will miss me when I'm gone. When I leave NCIS, you will miss messing around with me, and I doubt that the next person who will sit here will not like all your fooling around while they are trying to work."

Tony had a blank stare on his face, then said, "Two things: (1) They will get used to it like you did, and (2) You might need change your plans"

"What do you mean, Tony"

Tony sighed and said, "You said 'When I leave NCIS.' That needs to be changed to 'If I leave NCIS.'" Tony gave Kate a look, then Kate said, "You're right, when working for Gibbs, you have no social life." Tony laughed, walked over to Kate desk, leaned against it, and said "If you do leave NCIS, I will miss more than just messing with you." Kate saw seriousness in his eyes and asked, "What all would you miss about me?"

"Well, I would miss your hair, your smile, your walk, your talk, and all those other little things."

Kate smiled. "You really can be sweet when you want to be, Tony. Now, let's go back to work before we totally embarrass ourselves."

"That sounds like a good idea, Kate."

With that, they both went back to work and acted as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
