 Anthony DiNozzo[/b][/size] So Kiss Me Goodbye.
Honey, Im Gonna Make It Out Alive.
So Kiss Me Goodbye.
I Can See The Venom In Your Eyes.
Goodbye.
Snakes On A Plane - Cobra Starship.[/center] It was getting late at the NCIS headquarters which meant that a night shift was looming for a certain Tony DiNozzo. It was quiet around the bullpen, just the dimming light on DiNozzo's desk to keep him company... oh and his pizza! His large pepperoni sat on his desk, wide open as he took a slice, sliding it into his mouth as his other hand scanned over the keyboard. He wasn't working on his current case. Addy was down in Abby's lab, sleeping away quietly. He didn't want to think about Jeanne, he kinda knew it wasn't going anywhere - according to her. He needed a little time to himself, with his time. Nothing passed the time like taunting McGoo and his other cronies. He needed a good laugh round about now and he figured the others had picked up on his tense nature lately... ((sorry it sucks but am leaving soon!)) |

The vending machine started grunting and hissing after Kate inserted the money. She rolled her eyes and leaned against its glass while muttering to herself, "This might take a while." She started tapping her fingers impatiently. Finally the cereal bar she had asked for budged a millimeter. Kate straightened herself and at last the bar fell from its perch with a soft thud. She reached for it with a small smile and started peeling off the wrapper while she made her way towards the bullpen.
As she rounded the corner, her eyes fell on Dinozzo who was gulping down a slice of pizza. "You really should consider a salad every now and again," she broke the silence. Kate slipped in her seat and bit her bar with a satisfied expression. She leaned back in her chair and eyed Tony with narrowed eyes. He hadn't been acting like his normal self lately and she kind of missed the old Tony... not that she would ever admit that. |

Tony's eyes left his screen and landed on Kate as she sat proudly with her prize. Sorry Kate but I don't eat Rabbit Food... plus what would be the fun in eating a sal-ad! He pulled a little face at her playfully. He could still be his old self... just not completely. Not just yet anyway. He needed this case to just disappear but it was HIS team and therefore HIS case. He needed to sort it himself rather than handing it over to someone else. It was personal to him, especially with Addy around. He lifted up another slice, eyebrowing Kate at the same time. Sure you don't wanna join me? It's a biiiig pizza! He was being nice tonight, which would probably worry her more, she was used to him checking her phone and emails, teasing her over whichever guy appeared on the call list last!

Kate rolled her eyes and replied, "It's not rabbit food." She paused long enough to swollow another bite and added, "Salads are like an explosion of colour... and believe it or not, they are surprisingly tastey." She watched him pick another slice and wrinkled her nose. The pizza's smell was making her feel queasy. She leaned further back and reached for her water bottle. Kate took a small sip and shook her head at his words, "Oh no thank you. I'm fine with this." She raised her bar slightly and then took another bite. Kate was now eyeing Tony suspiciously. Why is he being nice? she thought to herself. "What have you done DiNozzo?!?" she demanded with narrowed eyes. |

Tony rolled his eyes as she tried to lecture him on healthy-eating. Funny how both Ziva and Kate were always on his case about his diet! Maybe to you... You know what? Tomorrow, I'll get a vegetarian... just for you! he mocked playfully. No way he'd eat a salad unless it was in a burger or on a pizza! He shrugged when she denied his offer. Your loss!
He watched her shifting eyes as she suspected something of him. He let out a little sigh, she'd just returned from vacation so she knew nothing of the current case in hand. Can you remember the undercover case I did for Jenny back when she was Director and I had to get close to La Grenouille's daughter Jeanne? Well she was attacked by her boyfriend over her 5-year old daughter.... which it has been 5 years since we... He raised his brow to her, Kate's sharp thinking could fill in the gaps.

It was Kate's turn to roll her eyes. She threw away the wrapper and said, "It's still classified as greasy food in my book. Tomorrow I'll take you to a place where they prepare superb salads." She raised an eye brow, "Sure thing. My loss, your gain... isn't it?" She closed her bottle and replaced it on the table. Tony's serious expression caught her attention. She furrowed her brows and stood up. Kate walked up to Tony's desk and sat down across from him. She rested her elbow on his desk and leaned forward as he spoke. She just nodded and only spoke when he allowed his voice trail away. Kate's frown deepened and she gasped silently before asking, "Are you saying what I think you are Tony?!?" |

Tony pulled a disgusted face at her, sticking his tongue out like a child who'd been presented a plate of greens - whic wasn't far of truth! If it's anything like those tofu wraps, I think I'll pass on that one Kate! Those wraps were insanely disgustiong, even McGoo and Gibbs had thrown theirs in the trash - whereas Tony decided to empty the contents of his mouth into the trashcan!
He gave a little smirk at her reaction to his report. He loved shocking the girl before him - though grossing her out was much more fun. Tonight he'd suffice with the shock treatment. What do you think Im saying, Kate? He mimiked her childishly, leaving silence between them before resolving her question with a sigh. Jeanne is pretty sure I'm the father. I know Gibbs and the Secnav will want paternity. She's sleeping down in Abby's lab with Jethro... He pulled a little secret smile as he remembered seeing her cuddled up to the 'deadly' Shepherd who'd attacked McGee years back. Was he going soft on this one? Was he actually warming up to being a father?

Kate raised an eye brow. She grinned and in return stuck out her tongue at Tony. She brough her arm up to her forehead dramatically and said, "Tofu wraps are good and healthy... but don't worry I will only be feeding you rabbit food."
She was still looking shocked when Tony smirked at her. She folded her hands over her chest and rolled her eyes at him, wondering why he couldn't be more serious for more than 5 seconds. She shrugged at his question and replied softly, "That she's yours?" Her inquiry was answered by his next words. Kate could see something different in his expression. After a coule of seconds she asked, "What's her name? Do you have a picture of her?" |

He pulled a facewhen she insisted on him eating Rabbit Food. A smirk shone through the thick fog of unregrettable anticipation of tomorrow's events. Alright but next time, it's MY turn! I'm thinking of a giant Calzone pizza and it's got your name written all over it Katie!
He nodded slowly as she ticked all the boxes. Apparently... He grabbed the camera that lay on his desk, chucking it lightly her way, letting her see the photos from the crimescene. Her name's Addy. Just excuse the blood from her. She was obviously trying to help.... she's the one who called us, not Jeanne... obviously He knew Jeanne hated him for his undercover case and there was nothing he could do about it.
Just that moment, the elevator pings open and the small child wandered in, rubbing her eyes. Tony... Can I have a drink pwease? Tony walked over to her, bending down to her level. Sure. hy don't you go back down to see Abby and get some sleep. I'll bring it down for you. Jethro'll be getting cold down there. She nodded, turning around and walking back to the elevator. He threw a look to Kate before walking over to the small water cooler, normally for the visitors. He didn't speak, just looked at he. He was waiting for some smart comeback from her - as she always did when it got personal such as the transvestite or the ex who decided to put his picture on a Herpes website. He knew she found great pleasure in it.

Kate made a face and muttered, "Ugh... no thank you." She then chuckled to herself and rolled her eyes before adding, "Ok, I get the point... no salad for you. Even if it would do you good." Kate took the camera and started shuffling through the photos. When she was done, she handed the camera back to Tony and with a slow smile said, "She looks adorable."
She peered over her shoulders when the child walked inside the bullpen. Kate stood up and watched Tony deal with Addy with a small smile. After the girl had left, Tony gave her a look she knew too well. Kate just shrugged and followed him to the water cooler. She placed a hand on his shoulder and said softly, "You will make a good father Tony." She shifted her position and leaned against the wall. Kate scrunched her nose and asked uncomfortably, "Where is Jeanne now?"

Tony laughed as she gave up trying. He had won. His feet rested lightly on his desk, arms behind his head as she spoke of salads being good for you. I'll have you know, I've been the same weight since college! He took the camera back, shoving it in a drawer so he wouldn't absent-mindedly go through them again. He heard her comment and smiled Yeah... just like her mom.
He was already at the water cooler when Kate joined him. The gentle hand on his shoulder woke him up from his thoughts. He laughed when she spoke. Ha ha! Very funny Kate! But thanks for trying to make me feel a bit better. He was thankful that he could rely on Kate for a good laugh - even if it was at himself! He secretly hoped Addy wouldn't be his - he didn't want to screw up the child's mind, having a father as a "spy" - though having your child think you're James Bond was appealing to him... He turned around with two cups of water, one for himself. She's still in hospital. She's stable but she's in for obs. The knife went pretty deep. He took a sip of water, eyebrows raised. Why is she being so nice to me? Thought she'd have a great laugh at this! Transvestite... now with a child to an undercover case. Only DiNozzo would be so stupid! He felt like headslapping himself, save Gibbs the favour!

Mick heard squabbling from around the corner and poked his head out. He'd only just began working in the office for a couple days, but any gossip was good gossip. He headed down to the water cooler where the two were conversing quietly. Not very skilled at eavesdropping on co-workers, he decided just to head down and talk to them. He tucked the ever-present peppermint in his cheek so he could talk.
"Hi Agents...umm..." he trailed off, drawing a blank on their names his hand hanging still in the air for a handshake. He blinked owlishly a few times, suddenly embarrassed.

Kate rolled her eyes and peered at his stomach, "That's hard to believe DiNozzo." She quietened at his words about Jeanne and looked at him sadly. His sudden burst of laughter made her jump. Kate withdrew her hand and folded her arms over her chest. She shrugged and muttered, "I was not trying to be funny Tony." She leaned against the wall and replied solemnly, "Sorry to hear that." She wanted to ask if he had visited Jeanne yet, but Kate didn't think it would be a good idea. An uncomfortable silence followed.
Kate shifted her position and looked up at him with a loopsided grin and said, "A child? Really DiNozzo? I never heard of someone screw an undercover mission so badly." Her expression softened and she pointed at the cups, "Do you want me to take it down for you?" She could see someone walking in their direction, but Kate only looked up when she heard him greet them. She exchanged a look with Tony and said, "It's Agent Todd. And you must be the new probie... Kingsley, isn't it?"Her eyes shifted down momentarily to his extended hand. |

His mouth dropped slightly, pretending to be offended. Ofcourse it didn't offend him in the slightest but he was acting, something Kate never grasped in his eyes! He smirked when he made her jump, the regular old Tony shining through the doom and gloom. He liked the old Tony, it masked a multitude of sins and thoughts. He knew the "new Tony" made people worry. McGoo wouldn't leave him alone, newboy Jack was edgey and now Kate was pussyfooting around him! He shrugged off her last statement, he never understood why people apologised when things weren't their fault.
He smirked again when she mocked him, THAT was the Kate he loved... in a brotherly kinda way ofcourse! It was successful Caitlin, if you can recall. He killed himself remember? Job done. Though he had trauma to deal with because of it but he was strong and he'd get through it. He had his "family" around him and thats what he needed: his team. He shook his head at Kate's kind offer. It's alright. I'll only be a second... He left Kate breifly as he disappeared into the elevator with the remaining glass.
When he returned, another agent was standing with Miss. Todd. He strode over in his usual swagger as he usually did when he was either a) Bragging, b) In company of new females or c) Cautious of a new male. He managed to join them just as the new guy introduced himself to Kate. He looked back at his senior, raising his head to the agent. DiNozzo.... take it you're one of Jack's new agents? He wouldn't have been hapyy that Gibbs' hadn't informed him of the agent if it was to be on his team! He had worked with the same agents for over 5 years - Kate even longer! Oh all 3 could grate on his nerves from time to time and him onto them but he wouldn't swap them for the world!

"Agent Todd," he said, trying the name. He sucked on the peppermint in his mouth, almost pensively. His face suddenly broke out into a grin. "Yeah, I'm the newbie around here, under Agent Harkness. Just started." He turned as another man approached, with a dominant swagger. He blanched a little.
"Agent DiNozzo, I'm Mick Kingsley. Yeah, I'm assigned under Agent Harkness. Pleased to meet you both," he said, giving them both nods.
He made a face, before looking around. "Where is he, anyway? I'm supposed to report to him, but I haven't seen him since I've started."
