Chapter 12: Doubts

Gibbs wasn’t completely shocked by Tony’s words, but he was a little taken aback. He wasn’t blind or heading that way, contrary to popular belief. At least, not blind enough not to notice Tony and Kate’s incessant flirting and what Gibbs took to be sibling-like bickering. But never had Gibbs suspected that Tony’s feelings for Kate ran that deep. ‘I just assumed it was another one of his hormone-driven infatuations. Damn it, I know better than to assume things! And now look where it’s landed me. What the hell was I thinking in the elevator? How could I even for the slightest second entertain the thought that she might be interested in a grumpy old nice guy like me?’ The pessimistic thoughts flowed ceaselessly through Gibbs’s silver-mopped head. But still, a tony, optimistic, hopeful voice somewhere in the corner of his subconscious made its plea to the jury...
‘But she kissed you back...”

* * * * * * *

Abby’s not-so-little pep talk had boosted Kate’s confidence, but doubts kept running through her mind, despite efforts to restrain them. ‘What about Rule 12? Gibbs would never go against his own rules, no matter how much he breaks other people’s. Maybe we shouldn’t go against his rule anyway. After all, he said himself, “Romance between agents Kate, it never works.” Was he talking from experience? Had what he said to me been meant as a warning of sorts? Besides, what had happened in the elevator was probably just a fluke event. He must have been delusional, an after-effect of no morning coffee. Even if he had been completely in control of himself in the elevator, how could I do that to Tony? Tony...I never knew, never suspected. God, what am I going to do?’ As much as Kate’s mind was focused on the negative, the doubts, her heart hadn’t yet given up yet. Not by a long shot. ‘Get a hold of yourself. Forget about what might go wrong. You love him. That’s all that really matters. You love him.’

* * * * * * *

Tony’s mind was reeling. He didn’t know what to do. What he had said to Gibbs was true, he had never before felt what he felt for Kate. But what was he going to do about it? It’s not as if he could go against Gibbs, or else he would seriously regret it. ‘On second thought,’ he thought, ‘if I ‘stole’ Kate from Gibbs, I would probably wouldn’t live long enough to regret anything.’ Tony’s mind was in turmoil. Whenever he’s confused, unsure if what to do, or just in the mood to bug Kate, a movie emerges in his mind. This was the case at the moment. “Sabrina,” he said quietly to himself. “The 1954 version, not the new one. Humphrey Bogart. William Holden. Audrey Hepburn. Mmm did she look fine! A girl loves this younger guy, but she can’t have him. She goes to Paris and come back looking stunning. The young guy wants her. She still loves him, but she also loves the older guy that’s also interested in her. In the end, she goes for the older guy. God, I hope that’s not the case with Kate...

Chapter 5: Time

Meanwhile, at the NCIS building

After being checked out by paramedics at the crime scene and declared that he was fine, except for jelly legs and jittery nerves, McGee headed back to the NCIS building to write up the incident report. As much as he wanted to be att the hospital, someone had to write up the report, and he knew that Kate should be the one there. Besides, he needed to be with Abby. No doubt she would be freaking out and she needed s shoulder to lean on in times like this.

So, Tim was sitting at his desk, typing furiouslt on his computer. Abby was sitting with Bert the hippo at Gibbs’s desk. She was probably one of few people who could find hugging a farting stuffed hippo comforting, but hey, it takes all kinds.

“This is so frustrating!” Abby fumes while squeezing Bert. “I want to be able to help instead of sitting on my butt! I want to go to that alley and find some evidence, something, anything. There has to be something left.”

“Whoa, slow down,” said McGee, who had stopped typing and was looking at Abby, brow furrowed. “You can’t go there. What if the perp is still around? He could hurt you. Plus, everything is taped off. It is a crime scene. Nope, I can’t let you go.”

“Timmy, I can’t sit here doing nothing. Tony and Gibbs need me. Kate too. I’ll be fine, with all the cops around, the dirtbag will be long gone. And I can get access to the alley by flashing my NCIS id. No problemo. You worry too much Timmy,” she said, taousling his hair affectionately.

“It’s too risky. Why don’t you go up to your lab while I finish up typing the report?”

“Fine,” Abby said dramatically, and started to stomp off.

“Hold on!” McGee called out to Abby. “First, you have to promise me that you won’t go anywhere near that alley.”

“Fine Timmy, I promise.”

“Good. I’ll see you when I’m done.”

The elevator dinged, and Abby got on, looking defeated. The doors shut, and smiling, she uncrossed her fingers.

* * * * *

Back at Bethesda

Kate knew that she had to leave the hospital, that Gibbs and Tony needed her to be out there, searching for the nice guy. However, she couldn’t let herself leave, not while Tony was in surgery. What if there were complications? No, she had to stay, at least until he was out of the O.R. and into Recovery. Still shook up from her visit to Gibbs’s room, Kate opted to wait in that wretchedly cheerful waiting room. Fortunately, according to a nurse she asked, she wouldn’t have to wait for too long. The surgery was a relatively short one, and as soon as Tony was in Recovery, Kate’s conscious would be clear and she could get out of there and do what needed to be done. That is, put a bullet in the heart of the person responsible.
* * * * *

With every second that ticked by on Its Rolex watch, It became more and more impatient. Sunset was rapidly approaching, and there was much to be done, none of which could be accomplished while sitting in a traffic jam. Damn rush hour, it always took more than an hour. An hour?! Each second that passed was vital to the success of The Mission.

However, It decided, the time lost would be time well spent. Absently drumming Its fingers on the steering wheel, the next stages of Its dark plot were hatched. All the while, the seconds ticked by, a monotonous, methodic countdown.
