Chapter 14
(**Flashback**)
Welcome to hell!
Kate was in the bathroom and Tony was left with McGee in the office. Kate's phone suddenly starts ringing. Tony decides to pick up.
„Well, this is gonna be interesting." He says.
„What are you doing?" McGee asks him.
„What does it look like?" Tony snaps at him. He answers the phone.
„Special Agent Todd's desk. I'm sorry she just stepped away."
Kate was coming back and she saw him. She hurried to her desk.
„Dinozzo." She threatened him.
„May I ask who's calling? Um, one moment. It's Dwayne." Tony grins at her. She grabs the phone away and starts talking with Dwayne. When she finishes the conversation she says:
„You really need to get a social life, Dinozzo."
„Oh I have a social life." Tony smirks at her.
„Really? What's tonight? Celebrity Mole?" Kate teases.
„No, Made." Tony says not realizing the joke.
„Come on, people, we're going to a stake out." Gibbs says, „Timmy, you go with Tony."
„Um, boss?" Kate approaches him awkwardly.
„Problem?" Gibbs asks her.
„No. Well, yes. You really wanna do that to poor McGee? I mean,Tony's gonna eat him alive out there." Kate explains.
„Hey! McGee looks at me as a mentor." Tony assures her.
„Yeah, right." Kate says.
„Do you want to be in a small tight space a whole day with Dinozzo?" Gibbs asks her almost sarcastically.
„Now that I think about it, no." Kate says.
„Actually, you were right. McGee is new here, we don't wanna bother him now. Tony, you're taking Kate!" Gibbs yells.
„Ok, boss" Tony says now with an evil grin. Kate glares at both of them.
Later...
They arrive at the stake out house.
„Tony, I want everything clean and spotless here. Got it?" Kate already bosses him around.
„Well, I never keep promises, Katie..." He grins at her. She groans and rolls her eyes.
„I'm warning you Dinozzo, don't even go there." Kate threatened him again.
„Ok,ok..." Tony says annoyed.
„Now, who are we watching?" Kate sits next to Tony.
„We're watching Amanda Reed, the lead suspect." Gibbs says, „I'll be going now. I'm watching you both, don't do anything stupid." Gibbs said.
„We won't" Kate rolled her eyes at him. Her phone starts ringing again. She looks at the call identification and it says 'Dwayne'. She starts blushing and she says quietly:
„Just a moment, please."
„Ok." He responses while setting the sound antenna. Kate goes into a corner and picks up:
„Hallo? Hey, how are you? Yeah, I'm fine. No, it's ok. Oh, I love you too. Sorry for coming late, I promise I'll make that up for you on the weekend. Ok, Love ya'. Bye." Tony was in the background setting the antenna so he could hear her conversation. She noticed and then said:
„Tony! Stop it. Uh, you are so annoying."
„You mst really like him." Tony said dead serious.
„How do you know?" Kate asks with a waving sound in her voice.
„Because of the way you scratch or touch your hair all the time when it's about him." Tony grins at her.
„Not true!" She lies.
„Is so!" He says.
„Not!" She tries again.
„Is so!" He says.
20 minutes later...
„Uh, forget it Tony! We're gonna do this forever!" She groans.
„Sorry..." He murmured.
„I'm gonna sleep." Kate says.
„Ok. But, one problem." Tony turns to her.
„What?" Kate asks.
„Well, there's only one bed." Tony says as he grins.
„No, no, no. Dinozzo, no way! I will rather sleep on the floor, than with you!" Kate disgusts.
„Ok, your lost..." He grins even more.
„We'll have shifts." Kate says.
„Good idea" Tony agrees.
