Chapter 3:

Later at the NCIS station...

Tony and Kate are sitting at their desks. Silence is in the room. In that moment, Tony breaks the silence and says to Kate:

„That's it, isn't it? The tattoo is a heart!" Tony sad sounding somewhat proud of himself.

Kate rolled her eyes and then said: „We're back on it again, aren't we?"

„I just can't imagine you with a tattoo" says Tony surprised.

„I was drunk" Kate said.

„I can't even imagine you drunk. So..." Tony said. He knew she will tell him now, because it was so obvious she wants to end this argument for good.

„It's a rose, on my butt. Can we move on now?" Kate said. Tony really knows how to get on her nerves.

„Sure" Tony said acting 'cool' but inside he was jumping of happiness. He is really curios. And stubborn.

„So we're done with this now, are we?" Kate said feeling a little relief.

„Oh, we are done" Tony said relaxed. Then he got up from his chair and whispered to Kate:

„Kate? Which cheek is it on?" Tony needs to know all the details.

„Uh! Tony, you're disgusting!" Kate yelled very frustrated. She got up and went the lab, to meet Abby. She needed a good girl talk, and since Abby is the only girl there, two of them got really close, so they are like BFFs now. But let's see what happens to Tony first. Gibbs walked into the room and suddenly stopped. He stood and looked around confused. He only saw Tony.

„Got anything to tell me Dinozzo?" Gibbs asked Tony.

„Um, no boss. Should I?" Tony said a bit confused. Gibbs looked at him angrily and then got to the point:

„Where's Kate?" Gibbs's anger was growing. Tony looked around and then said:

„Kate? I don't know where she is"

Gibbs got closer to Tony and then said:

„What do you mean you don't know?" Gibbs had a special care for all of his agents. Because, if he loses one, the whole team goes down.

„I saw her going to the lab" Tony said scared.

Gibbs cooled off, and then said:

„And what is she doing down there?"

Tony thought a bit, and then said:

„She forgot something down there."

Gibbs gave Tony 'the interrogation look' and then said:

„Ok. She has a break then. Now get back to work"

„Yes sir!"

Down at the lab:

„Hey Kate!" said Abby enthusiastic.

„Hey Abbs" said Kate frowned.

„What's wrong? You really don't sound like you're in the mood." Said Abbby sort of worried. She hates when Kate's down.

„Oh, well... It's nothing..." Kate said trying to avoid the conversation. She sat on a chair next to Abby.

„Well, something is obviously wrong, and you're not leaving untill you say everything to me. What's wrong?" Abby said feeling worried.

„Ok, but promise you won't laugh or tease me..." Kate said worried. This is one of those moments where she wish she could bite her nails like she used to do when she was younger.

„I promise." Abby said now kind of relieved.

„It's just that... You know. These days Tony is really annoying. Hardcore. He won't stop hanging on my back. And he keeps asking me some very private stuff. It's really getting on my nerves." Kate said without inhaling.

Abby blinked two times and then said:

„Wait. I thought that you hate Tony?" Abby was surprised.

„Well, it's not that I hate him, but we're co-workers, it's normal that we should at least agree with something. There's only one thing we actually agree on. We agree that we disagree." Kate said.

„Well, girl, get your revenge on!" ,Abby said happily, „Ignore him for two whole days! Trust me, He'll be begging for your forgiveness in less than a minute!" Abby developed a plan really fast.

„Wow, Abby thanks! I'll do it!" Kate said surprised.

„Anything for my BFF! Wait, do you have a crush on Tony?" Abby said.

Kate disgusted on that fact, and said:

„Ew, Abby! You know I don't!"

„Ok, I'm just asking! See ya!" Abby said.

Kate waved and said:

„Bye!"
