Chapter 4:
It wasn't usual for Kate to get this angry with Tony. But the whole situation had a reason. She broke up with her boyfriend. No matter how hard she tried not to mix her private life and job, she couldn't handle it this time. But only Abby and Kate know this.
At the office:
Tony is sitting at his desk thinking about Kate.
„I wonder what took her so long?" Tony said to himself. He sees Kate walking into the room, taking a seat at her desk. Tony notices awkward silence, and then says:
„So... What took you so long Katie?"
Kate isn't responding. She hid her face behind her computer so he wouldn't see her smiling. The plan was already working. Tony tries again:
„Um, Kate?"
Again, no sign of answering. Kate is already feeling better. Tony is starting to get confused. He calls her:
„Caitlin? Are you playing some sort of game?"
Kate was nearly laughing at this point. She couldn't believe Tony has fallen in the trap. Tony rolls his eyes and tries with the strictly professional way:
„Excuse me? Special Agent Todd?"
Kate finally lifts her head, but slowly.
„Yes, Special Agent Dinozzo?" she says trying to keep the smile.
„Well, is everything alright?" Tony asks trying to be as polite as he can.
„Yes." Kate says flatly.
„Ok, I'm just checking" Tony says shocked. Something wasn't right. Silence began. Kate hid her phone under her table and wrote a message to Abby:
„It's working! He's buying it! Thanks, this really got my mind of my ex. You're the best Abbs."
At the lab
Abby's doing some analyses when suddenly she hears her phone. She sees a new message from Kate, and then reads the message.
„Oh yeah! I am always right." She says. She decides to reply to Kate by saying:
„No problem! I told ya' it will work." She puts her phone away and keeps on with her work.
