G:- Were you to make love to me?
E:- If need be.
Eve gets up off the chair and crosses to Jethro, who is standing with towel round waist.
E:- Look You're a Government paid Assassin and I'm Government paid Whore, your taxes are probably paying my salary, so you want a free trick that's alright by me.
Gibbs puts his glass down and places his hands on her shoulders
G:-Ok, I only asked so don‘t start again. But I like it when you get angry.
E:- Sorry its been a long day. Either way we are in this together.
Jethro leans over and kisses Eve, and gently slips the bathrobe from her shoulders. Eve kicks off her stilettos. She loves to look her lovers in the eye.
E:- just don't say that classic line from David Bowies Suffragette City.
G: And what line would that be?
E: " Wham bam thank you ma'am" because I will personally kill you, sergeant
Jethro smiles.

E:- There's death threats and there's murder
G:- WHAT DID HE SAY EVE?
E:-There will only be you ,me and him, and before he gets you to kill me, he will break every bone in my body , slowly
Eve walks to the window and looks out. Across the road Ray stands laughing. He gestures a gun firing. Gibbs joins her.
G:- Bad move Ray , I now know what you look like.

Dead ringer for love, No? Tell me does she have a 4 inch scar down her back?. Yes? Well her name is Alice Mitchell} Run her name thro' the same computers I did with you and well………
G:- Tony translate
G:-I meant to ask you about that, the scar.
E:- No big deal it was a birthmark I had removed when I was a baby. Not a great war wound. But it was good for stories.
Jethro looks deep into Eves eyes
G: What affection did you have for Ray?
E:- I liked him enough, to tolerate the violation of my body
G:- I don't understand?
E:-What words do you not understand? Beginning to sound annoyed. Like , well, that's like, tolerate (put up with) violation ( from the verb to violate, to assault/rape), my body, ( me , my space.com).
G:-What do you feel for me?
Eve sighs, and with great emotion says.
E:-I would like to think we make love.
She turns away, and then back.
E:- So now you know what He looks like, similar height, build , just he has a bit more muscle, weather beaten . Too many years behind a desk have left you slightly………. patting his waist. Also the hair, shoulder length, you, you're so much the Serviceman.
G: Its what I do Eve.
E:- Yeh, this is what I do too, and I'm not proud of it either.

G:- We'll think of something.
Tears swell in Eves eyes.
