Chapter 51

At the lab...

Abby showed up a little late this time, because of all that drama this morning. McGee's coming later, she left him to rest. She was already sittingat her computer, when Gibbs showed up.

„Hey, Abbs. Put Tony and Kate on the screen" Gibbs said.

"Sure. The hotel room, or bugs and bracelets?" Abby replied, typing something at her computer.

"Bugs and bracelets" Gibbs said and sat by her.

"Got it" She said. Two different videos appeared on the screen. One was Tony, and the other one was Kate.

"Good job, DiNozzo" Gibbs muttered under his breath.

Tony and Kate…

Kate was still standing alone, waiting for Tony.

Tony moved closer to the group of people, who seemed to be very busy in a conversation. Tony coughed a little and approached them.

"Um, hello. I just wanted to welcome you guys, since I noticed you're our new neighbors" Tony finally interrupted. They all turned to him and smiled.

"Well, thank you. I'm Tina" A woman said and shook hands with Tony.

"Hi, I'm Mike" A guys said and shook hands with Tony. He had his other arm wrapped around another woman.

"I'm Angela" The woman who Mike had his arm around said.

"And I'm Harry" Another man said, offering his hand to shake it with Tony.

"Hey, nice to meet you all. I'm Mark. My wife Emma is over there, waiting for me" Tony gestured to Kate, who was a few meters away.

"Oh, great. We would love to meet you later" Angela said.

"Yeah" Mike nodded.

"Oh, thanks, guys. But, we'll probably be free tomorrow. Today we've got some work" Tony said, hoping he didn't blow their covers away.

"But you're on a vacation" Tina said.

"Yeah, but, my wife is a photographer. She has to do some work, and I'm helping her" Tony said, trying his best to convince them.

"Oh, okay then. We'll see you tomorrow, then, yes?" Harry asked, looking at the other people from his group.

"Yeah, yeah" Tony smiled at them.

"Great! Bye!" They all waved to Tony and walked away. Tony sighed and walked back to Kate.

"How did it go?" Kate asked when he approached.

"Great. We're meeting with them tomorrow" Tony replied, glancing behind them.

"Okay. Let's go back then" Kate said and turned towards the elevator.

"Yeah" Tony said to himself and followed her.

At the NCIS building…

"Wow, Tony's a great actor" Abby said enthusiastically. She took a sip of her Caff-Pow proudly.

"I know, Abbs. How do you think he got all those girls?" Gibbs smirked and walked out of the lab, leaving her alone there. She slightly frowned. He didn't get them. They offer themselves just like that She thought.

He's gonna get Kate, one way or another! Abby thought to herself. She couldn't help but smile at the thought.

"Hey, Abby!" A voice was heard after a sound of elevator opening.

"Oh, McGee!" Abby jumped.

"What's up?" He said as he sat down next to her.

"Well, they have a meeting with those terrorists tomorrow" Abby said and folded her arms casually.

"Well, that's great!" McGee said.

"I know. I hope they'll get home as soon as possible" Abby popped on her elbow.

Tony and Kate…

They arrived at their apartment. Kate sat at the computer and logged on her Gmail. Tony quietly walked into the bedroom where her bag was. He took her iPod quietly.

He turned it on and put the headphones in, with a big grin on his face.

Kate checked her mail and closed the tab. She got up from the computer and went into the bedroom. She gasped when she saw Tony lying on the bed, playing with her music.

"TONY!" She yelled. He jumped off the bed.

"What? You've got some great music here, Katie" Tony teased. Kate blushed. He grinned, on his usual manner.

"Well, why don't you just ask?" Kate blurted out.

"Because, I'm your husband. I don't need your permission" He said mockingly. She rolled her eyes with a loud groan.

"I'm bored, Tony" Kate sat on the bed, which surprised him.

"You are?" He asked.

"Yeah. Let's go somewhere" Kate suggested, smiling.

"Okay, if you say so" Tony said, still shocked. They were both already dressed, so they left the apartment immediately.

After ten minutes, they were in the car driving.

"Hey, Katie. Got some of that music?" Tony asked, while still looking at the road.

"Yeah, I do" Kate took a mix tape out of her purse. Tony chuckled.

"I was kidding, you know" Tony said.

"Well, too bad. I already inserted the tape" Kate replied. Tony sighed.

"Wow. Kate, that's sad" Tony said as he listened to the song.

"Yeah" Kate said and looked through the window.

"Why do you love sad music so much?" Tony asked when they stopped on a red light. He intently looked at her.

"I don't know" She replied, not turning away from the window.

'My shallow heart' is the only thing that's beating,

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me,

Till then I walk alone…'

"Okay" Tony nodded and started the car again when the light went green. Kate didn't know either why does she like this kind of music.

"You know, Kate, I never thought you would be an alternative chick" Tony suddenly mentioned, making Kate look at him.

"And why is that?" Kate asked while smiling.

"I don't know. You seemed like a jazz or something person" Tony replied. Kate hit him in the arm.

"Ouch! What was that for?" He winced, while trying to keep both of his arms on the steering wheel.

"Judging the book by its covers" Kate said sarcastically.

"I don't know, Kate. You seem pretty human to me" Tony joked, which earned him another hit in the arm.

"Okay, sorry" Tony muttered. Kate was looking at the amazing streets of Chicago.

(AN: Take My Breath Away by Berlin plays)

"Oh, Kate. That's… That's… TOPGUN!" Tony gloriously exclaimed as the song played on the mix tape.

"I know, Tony. I watched the movie" Kate added, and laughed a little.

"Kate. That's one of the most epic movies EVER" Tony said. Kate laughed even harder.

"Hey, stop right there" Kate pointed to a big mall that was in front of them.

"Okay" Tony said and parked the car near the mall.

"We're going shopping?" Tony asked, hoping the answer was negative.

"No, no. I just wanna know Chicago a bit more, you know" Kate answered and got out of the car. Tony was relieved.

They walked in, to find a huge, crowded place, which had flashy signs everywhere.

"Pretty much looks like Washington DC" Tony added.

"Yeah, it does" Kate agreed, but they continued to walk. They bumped into a few people.

"I'm really sorry, I…" Kate started, but stopped when she saw familiar faces: the terrorists.

"Oh, hey guys! What are you doing here? We thought you had some work" Tina said, as if she was confused.

"Uh, we finished it earlier! Her boss FINALLY let us have some rest" Tony explained, trying to help Kate.

"Yeah, and we wanted to call you guys, but we didn't have the number, so…" Kate smiled angel-like and shrugged.

"Oh, well, no problem. You want to go shopping with us?" Harry asked, sounding as polite as a human could be.

"Yeah, sure" Kate said, and glanced at Tony. He slightly nodded.

"Let's go then! Girls for themselves, guys for themselves" Angela said and winked. Everyone laughed, but Kate wasn't feeling really good. Being with terrorists all alone… Not so smart.

"So, Emma. How is it with Mark?" Tina asked. Kate faintly blushed.

"Oh, well, he's really nice" Kate said, still blushing.

"I mean, men are so hard these days, you know? I would kill to have someone like Mark. But, Mike is good" Angela said and laughed. So did Tina. Kate barely smiled. The way she said kill…

"Ooh, this blouse is so good for you, Emma! Why don't you buy it?" Tina showed a purple blouse to Kate in a shop.

"I don't want to buy anything, really" Kate said and faked a smile.

"Oh, that's too bad. I wonder where the boys are" Angela said.

Tony was walking around the mall with Mike and Harry. They were in the middle of a conversation.

"Hey, forgot to ask you, Mark. How's Emma like?" Harry asked, grinning big-time.

"What do you mean?" Tony asked, slightly confused by his question.

"You know… "Mike dropped in. Tony blushed a little.

"Dude, that's private" Tony said, trying not to sound embarrassed.

"Oh, sorry bro" Mike said.

"Yeah, we didn't know" Harry apologized. Tony didn't like the way they're acting. They're up to something. Tony thought.

"Hey, guys!" Kate, Angela and Tina appeared behind them. They all turned to them.

"Hey, babe" Mike said to Tina and pulled her into a kiss. Kate felt strange when that happened. Harry hung his arm around Angela's neck and whispered her something into her ear. Angela smiled when he done that.

Tony decided to act more, so he slowly put his arm protectively around Kate's waist.

"Tony, what are you doing?" Kate hissed into his ear.

"I'm playing the part. Now, you play with me, or we'll get caught" Tony whispered trough gritted teeth.

"Fine" She replied.

"Shall we go for a drink?" Mike said after he pulled away from Tina. Kate and Tony exchanged worried looks, but they both knew they had to accept, or they would ruin the mission. Kate swallowed.

"Sure" Tony said with a faked smile.

"Lovely!" They said and Tony and Kate followed them in fear.

At the NCIS building…

"Jethro, aren't you supposed to be down in the lab, checking the camera videos? Or you came back for more?" Jenny said temptingly. Gibbs smiled.

"I think I'll have to turn you down, Jen. I came here to pick up a file I left" Gibbs replied. Jenny sighed, disappointedly. Gibbs smirked at her. She held her laugh.

"See you later, Jethro" She waved with her fingers. He smiled again and walked out of her office.

Kate and Tony…

They all settled down at a bar at the mall.

"Hello" Kate said to the bartender.

"Hello. What would you like to drink?" He asked and turned to Mike, Tina, Angela and Harry.

"We'll all have margaritas" Harry said. Kate shivered. She never drinks alcohol. Last time she did, she got a tattoo.

"Oh, I don't think I will" Kate said to Harry.

"Oh, come on. I'll pay it all" Harry assured her. She sighed.

"A shot for everybody?" The bartender asked.

"Double that" Mike ordered. The bartender smiled.

They all got their drinks. After a few, Kate had a headache, and her vision was blurry.

"I don't feel so good" Kate said to Tony.

"Yeah, me neither. I feel exhausted, and can't see well" Tony barely said.

"What's wrong?" Tina asked.

"We're going home. We've got bad headaches" Kate explained.

"Guys, you can't drive in that condition. Why don't we take you home?" She offered. Kate knew she should say no, but her senses weren't working right.

"Okay" Kate said. She gave Tony her mix tape, for no reason. He accepted it, for no reason and put it in his pocket.

They walked out of the mall. It was already dark outside. It was too late.

Kate's body completely gave up and led her to darkness.

So did Tony's.
