"Ok, Tony, that was, well, fun but don't you think we should better try to get out of here? At least it's nearly three AM and nobody had shown up!"
"Yeah, you're probably right."
Tony and Kate stood there unmoving.
"Call Gibbs!"
Kate finally said and Tony turned shocked to her.
"Why me? You call him!"
"You call him!"
"No you!"
It took at least twenty minutes of arguing before Tony went over to his own desk. He picked up the phone and dealt Gibbs' cell phone number.
One ring...
Two rings...
Three rings...
Tony looked pleading at Kate.
"DiNozzo? I hope it's important."
"Em, hey boss,..."
"We got a case?"
"Well, em, actually..."
"DINOZZO!"
"No, we don't have a case but you see, the prob-"
He looked at the phone.
"He hung up on me."
He said shocked to Kate. Not that it was shocking that Gibbs hangs up without saying good bye or anything but at least normally he listens when you say something.
"Well, it's three am!"
"He haven't slept Kate."
" Yeah, but he had a date! What do you think he was doing?"
Tony looked at her and they both shuddered at the thought.
"Ok, next topic!"
It took more than three hours before they realized, or accepted that they wouldn't get out of here soon.
Kate came back from the bathroom but there was no sign of Tony.
"Tony??"
"Huh?"
He looked up from behind his desk where he was sitting on the floor back against the wall.
"What're you doing?"
Kate looked at the magazin and the pen in Tony's hands.
"Crosswords."
He bit on the pen looking extremly concentrated. Kate looked around for something to do and sat next to him.
"Can I join you?"
Tony looked into her eyes.
‚Wow! I never noticed how intense his eyes are.' Kate thought as they brightened with a smile.
You could think crosswords would get boring soon but Tony made a huge fun out of it. Crosswords are boring, to be honest so he decided to make a game. Everytime they had found a word the one who found it or whose turn it was had to make up a story with that word.
Well, yes, Tony's stories had nearly every time something to do with sex but they were funny, too.
Very soon Kate was more than happy to be stucked with Tony, who made everything to fun, instead of McGee or worse Gibbs. Well, the possibility that any gateman could forget Gibbs was against zero but hey, they also forget them...
They sat there for quiet a while now. Kate couldn't remember what time it was and actually she didn't care.
She had to admit that she had had no idea that Tony could be that much fun. For the past ten or fifteen minutes he was telling one of his made-up stories for their little game but she didn't hear a single word. All her mind was bound by his full, soft lips. His white teeth when he smiled. The sparkle in his eyes when he looked at her.
This sparkle wasn't really new, she had seen it often, actually everytime he looked at her. She just had never recognized it. It was somethinng she only saw in his eyes when he looked at her. It was his special "Kate-look" and he had reserved it for her.
Kate smiled softly at that thought. It was cute. Special "Kate-look".
Maybe, Kate thought, just maybe Tony isn't all that bad...
Tony kept telling. He had forgotten what his story was about long ago but Kate didn't seem to mind.
The reason why he was still talking was that little smile of her. A bit sleepy, a bit sheepy but honestly. He liked that smile but they, Tony inspecial, didn't recieve it often.
Maybe he should tell her the truth about all those girls. He was dating, hell yeah. He had never made up a date but he just didn't sleep with everyone of those women. His sexual partners were always a bit more special to him. It even could be that one or two, maybe more, really started to mean something to him but he always broke up right then or even before. He never let anybody near enough to hurt him and all those years he lived after the rule: kill or get killed, well more like hurt or get hurt...
Kate eyes were half close but he could see her gaze on his lips.
Maybe, Tonby thought, just maybe Kate would make a difference...
