Chapter 26
It was a normal day in Washington D.C. Many people were driving their cars they always did. But, then suddenly… BOOM!
Some cars flee from the explosion, some people did it to and some cars exploded. A U.S Navy Petty officer was really worried. His name was Clark Deacon. He thought he saw someone on a rooftop. Then again… BOOM! Now a building exploded with some cars. Then BOOM! Clark flew away from his car and fell to the sidewalk.
"Ah… It… Hurts", he said he's last words and died. People shouted and screamed in panic. In a few seconds, the street was completely clear.
A man was walking by. He was actually wondering why there is no one on the street. He saw Clark, laying there, on the ground. He panicked and called the police as he ran away.
At the NCIS building…
Kate, Tony, McGee and Gibbs arrived at the bullpen. Kate dropped her stuff on her desk and sat down. She was still upset by yesterday. From the moment she sat down, everyone started gazing at her. She felt kind of pressured. They all wanted to help, but glaring didn't help at all. She continued her report from the last day. She wasn't able to finish it.
FLASHBACK…
'Next time, I'll be quicker' She said.
'Oh, well. Don't you wonder why you weren't this time?' He said mockingly.
This situation kept running over and over in her head. Why didn't I stab him? She thank.
Gibbs's phone suddenly rings. A new case was coming. He picks up.
"Hello?" He says into the phone.
"Aha. Yeah. Okay, we'll be there in a minute" He continued and hung up afterwards. Kate, McGee and Tony lift their heads slowly.
"Get your gear, people; we've got a dead Petty officer. Big explosion happened" Gibbs said and took a sip of coffee.
"Again? Seems like Petty officers die all the time" McGee says.
"You got that right, Probie" Tony gets up and takes his gear.
"Kate, you coming?" Gibbs calls.
"Yeah, let me just take my bag" She replies and sighs. She picks it up and hurries with them to the elevator. They all arrive at the NCIS's parking and get into Gibbs's car. Gibbs drives them to the crime scene.
At the crime scene 20 minutes later…
They get out of the car and take their gear. McGee and Gibbs hurry up, but Kate and Tony take their time. They both take their bags and hurry behind Gibbs and McGee.
"Kate, I've been meaning to ask you something for a while" Tony says suddenly. Kate rolls her eyes.
"And what's that? Gonna propose me?" She mocked.
"Cute. No. Actually, I was wondering. What do you do with your leftover cereal in the morning when there's too much to eat? Because, this morning, I was eating Captain Crunch and I…" He starts talking, but she interrupts him.
"Tony. I'm not really in the mood today" She was still angry.
"Sorry, I was just trying to take your mind off him" He shrugs.
"Who, exactly?" She asks.
"The One That Got Away" He says.
"Do I look like Katy Perry to you? I'm not thinking about the damn terrorist, Tony, God Damn it!" She nearly yells.
"Someone's moody" He mutters.
"I'm not moody!" She exclaims.
"Yeah you are! Every time you're like this, you use the word damn too much" He teases.
"Just shut up, please" She rolls her eyes again.
"Sorry" He mumbles.
"Look at Gibbs. He's been growling like a wounded bear since last night" She whispers.
"Well, he is wounded. And he always growls like a bear" He jokes.
"Hah, yeah" She laughs.
"Hey, you two! Stop joking around and get your butts here!" Gibbs interrupts.
"Sorry, Gibbs" Kate says. She gives Tony the death glare afterwards.
They approach the body. Gibbs, as usual, says:
"Kate, photos! Dinozzo, you come with me. I need to investigate the crime scene" Gibbs orders.
"On my way, boss!" Tony yells.
"Gibbs!" Kate yells.
"What?" He goes back to Kate.
"Did you hear anything about Gerald and Ducky?" She asks.
"Um, Ducky will be here in a minute, so he can tell you the details" Gibbs pats her shoulder.
"Oh, okay" She says. Her voice sounded very annoyed, even when she's feeling happy. The terrorist from yesterday was in her head.
