Chapter 5

In the office

Kate, Tony and Gibbs are sitting at the office. Kate looks at the clock waiting for the break, so she could go to the lab again. She looks down to her cell phone and decides to text Abby. She looks around her, just to make sure nobody's watching. She looks at Tony first. He's too busy with playing crossword puzzle. She looks at Gibbs. He's focused on his computer. She looks again at both, and then silently takes her cell phone. It's on silent mode. She's lucky. She goes trough her contacts, so when she finds Abby, she chooses the 'message' option. She types in a message:

„ Meet you at the lab"

At the lab

Abby is listening to her favorite music 'Dominic Kelly' off course. While she's trying to sing a long, she hears a very familiar sound. She looks at her phone and sees a new message from Kate. She smiles and reads the message. She decides to reply by saying:

„Ok. Can't wait ;)"

In the office

Kate is now really nervous. Aldo there are almost less than 2 minutes, she's flipping. She needs to see Abby. After a million times looking at her phone, she finally sees a message. She reads it. It cheers her up a bit. She looks at the clock again and whispers:

„Come on clock, hurry up"

Tony lifts his head thinking he might heard something, but after seeing Kate and Gibbs acting completely normal, he gets back to his crossword puzzle. Finally, the break can begin. Gibbs stretches a bit, and then says:

„I'm gonna get myself some coffee. You two have 10 minutes free"

„Ok" Tony replies. Kate is already at the lab. But she forgot her phone.

At the lab

„Hey Abbs!" Kate says.

„Hey Kate! Tell me everything" Abby says grabbing Kate's hands excitedly. Kate replies:

„Perfect! He totally fell for this! I think he's already feeling bad!"

„Yes! I knew it!" Abby says proud of what she did.

„But..." Kate says kind of sad.

„What's the matter Kate?" Abby asks.

„Well, it's just that... I think this is kind of childish." Kate says.

„But why are you feeling guilty? You wanted revenge" Abby says.

„Yeah, but I think I should apologize to him" Kate insists.

„Ok... I think that's the best." Abby says.

„See ya' later!" Kate says.

Abby waves and says „Ok!"

At the office

Tony is sitting wondering what's up with Kate. He notices that she left her phone on her table. He was tempted to take it, but he still couldn't. He looked around and concluded that he's completely alone. He slowly approached Kate's table and took the phone. He guessed that Abby was probably involved too. He went trough her contacts and found Abby's number. He chose the option 'messages' and then to the folder 'sent'. When he saw their chat, he got really angry. He left the phone on Kate's table and acted like nothing happened. Suddenly, the elevator opens and Kate appears. She walks out of the elevator and sees Tony. She approaches to him so she could apologize for her silly behavior. Kate starts her sentence:

„Hey, Tony! I just wanted to say that..." But he quickly interrupts her:

„Was that all really necessary, Kate? I can't believe it! Even Abby was a part of your little conspiracy. I read your messages!" Tony was really angry. But he didn't know he just really pissed off Kate too.

„You took my phone!? And read my messages? Oh, My God, and I came here to apologize to YOU..." Kate says angrily.

„And what did I do wrong Kate? Come on, tell me, I really want to hear it." Tony says ironically. Kate rolls her eyes and yells:

„You pig! You're acting like you have no idea what happened, when actually, you just don't want to says sorry! In fact, I think you don't even know how to say sorry Tony!"

„Oh, and I'm the bad guy here now, huh? That's right Kate, blame Tony, always blame him!" Tony says defending himself.

„Oh, and now you're the good guy? Why am I even bothering to talk to you Tony? I don't have to talk to you!" Kate says really pissed off.

„Fine, I don't have to talk to you either!" Tony yells.

„I hate you!" Kate says angrily.

„I hate you too!" Tony says walking away.

„Uh! Fine!" Kate yells and walks away.

„Fine!" Tony yells.

They both knew they don't mean this words.
