“What?!” Gibbs asked, eyes narrowing.
“I am wearing a tracker. Both Anton and Whiskers have the ability to track it.” Kate stated evenly, refusing to get upset at his tone. “I’m sure if you ask nicely, Anton would give you the ability.” Kate stressed the word nicely. Kate chuckled then and turned to put up her new picture. “Thank you, both Tony and Gibbs, for my new art work.”
Gibbs and Tony saw the picture and scowled.
“I think Abby’s touch just enhances it.” Kate smirked. Abby had added Kate’s words to it before printing both herself and Kate a copy.
Anton whistled. “Nice dress.” He was looking at the proofs Kate had. “Now this one is worth hanging.” He turned it to show Kate the one he was talking about. Both Gibbs and Tony saw it too.
“Whoa, Kate!” Tony’s grin turned wolfish.
Kate blushed and shook her head, rolling her eyes at Tony. “Thank you,” she said.
It was Gibbs who surprised her. “This goes up on my cube.”
Kate raised an eyebrow at his words and nodded. After all, turn about was fair play. With a half smile, she promised, “I will give you a copy when the come in.” Her eyes sparkled when she commented, “You like that one, huh?”
Gibbs didn’t answer her question, but told her, “See to it. I’ll get it from Alex if you don’t.”
“By the way, Kate, you are looking better today. I take it you actually go some shut eye last night?” Tony stated and then winced at how his words sounded.
Kate just grinned. “Thanks, Tony, and yes, I did. Someone gave me an order to go home and sleep so we can go on the offensive instead of staying on the defensive.”
By the time we came back from lunch, Kate’s desk was buried under files.
“Jesus, Kate! Who’d you piss off?” Tony’s eyes bulged at the amount of paperwork on her desk.
“A few government agencies,” Kate responded. “These are all the files on Manning that any and all government agencies have. You are going to at least skim the ones I mark.”
It took Kate almost three hours to highlight parts of Manning’s files. She knew Gibbs would read them completely that night. She herself had them memorized. Plus she had written almost three quarters of them.
