Veron and the Director are in MTAC arguing with the secretary of the navy over holding a ship ready for a 6 month departure to Iraq for fears
the killer may be on it.
Kate and Tony are sitting quietly in Tony's car, it is quiet and Kate is struggling to keep her eyes open.
"Kate, Kate, wake up!" Tony says quielty
"I'm awake Tony!" Kate says tiredly
"Just making sure you weren't sleeping on the job" he says
"How is that possible? i have been awake since Gibbs called us in yesterday morning at 7am, i am so tired i wouldn't be able to sleep
if i could!" she says
Tony reaches over to kate and puts a hand on her shoulder and begins to massage it.
"Tony, please don't" She says
"I'm just giving you a massage, i'm not asking you to sleep with me!" Tony says
They look into each others eyes and Kate realises that Tony is actually being sincere she smiles at him and he smiles back. she puts her
hand on top of Tony's.
"Ok, thank you Tony" she says
"You really are a nice guy Tony" Kate says continuing to smile
"Why thank you Kate" Tony says his head getting bigger by the minute.
They continue to smile at each other as Tony slowly massages Kate's shoulder, they suddenly both feel something that they never thought
was possible between them.
"I wonder if Kate feels the same way i do?" he thinks to himself
"Can Tony change? i see him with so many different women, could he stay with me if i told him how i feel?" she asks herself.
They both slowly move towards each other getting closer and closer until their faces are inches apart and just at that moment Kate's
phone begins to ring. Surprized by the ringing she quickly picks it up.
"Kate" she answers
"Where are you?" Gibbs questions
"In the parking garage taking a break" she says
"Have you seen DiNozzo?" he asks
"Yeah he is here with me" she says turning a deeper shade of red.
"Well get your butts back up here we have a suspect in custody!" Gibbs informs
"We'll be right there" she says, as Gibbs cuts her off
In interrogation room 1 Gibbs is interrogating a suspect brought in by Ziva and Victoria, as Tony and Kate observe they nervously look
at each other several times but neither of them say anything untill Tony, still observing the interrogation begins to ask questions.
"Do you think he did it?" he asks
"Do what?" Kate asks thingking still about what had happened in the parking garage
"Kill those two marines, are you even listening?" he asks
"Um... I don't know Tony" she stutters
"Are we ever gonna talk about it?" he asks
"About what?" she says
"About u?" he says
"There is no US Tony!" she says angrily
The room falls silent as Gibbs slamms his hands on the table, he is interogating A local dock worker but having no luck as he seems to
have no kn owlege of the murders or the fact that Gibbs is getting even angrier as the interrogation goes on.
"I need coffee!" he says "DiNozzo?" he calls from the room
"Yes boss?" he says over the loud speaker
"Get me coffee!" he barks
"On it boss!" he says jumping to the door
He opens the door and stops turning to look at Kate she is staring into space facing the two way mirror.
"Dinner?" he asks
"Huh?" she says
"How about dinner?" he says
"I don't know Tony" she says
"Look Kate, its just dinner nothing needs to go beyond that, just give me a chance?" he says using his Italian puppy dog eyes
"Fine, but just dinner, ok?" she says
"I'll pick you up at 8?" he asks
"Yes, that would be great" she says smiling
Tony closes the door and goes to get Gibbs his coffee.
"This is your one chance Anthony don't mess it up!" his says to himself
"Maybe he has changed" she thinks to herself
