A/N: Wouldn't we all want a man like Gibbs to come and fix our leaky pipes? ;)

/ /

Friday afternoon Kate sat alone in the bullpen, she looked out the window and saw the sun was begining to set. She aimed to demolish the never ending stack of paper on the corner of her desk.

"You still here?" asked a familiar voice sending ripples of pleasure through her body.

"Just finishing some paper work" she groaned looking at the stack.

"Go home, it's late" Gibbs said walking around to stand in front of her desk.

"I think I might stay here until it is done" she said burying her head in the file.

"Kate…" Gibbs barked making her look up.

"For the past few weeks you have stayed here well past office hours. Why are you afraid of going home?" he asked leaning slightly over her desk.

"I'm not afraid!" she snapped.

"Ok, why don't you want to go home?!" he demanded.

"I can't" she whispered turning her head away.

"Why not?" he answered quietly

"Because a pipe in my bathroom is leaking and I rang the plumber but he said he would come as soon as he can. That was three weeks ago" Kate confessed.

"Why don't you just ring a different agency?" Gibbs asked

"Because it's in the contract we use that plumber" Kate moaned thinking of the useless plumber that her apartment provides.

"I could fix it" Gibbs offered.

"You?" Kate chuckled

"Yeah, me" he said narrowing his eyes,

"What wrong with that?" Gibbs cried.

"You would have to come around to my apartment" Kate said raising an eyebrow to see his reaction.

"So?" he shrugged.

"Ok, but I don't have any tools" Kate mumbled putting the pen down and put her hands behind her head.

"I can pick some up from home then drive across to your flat" Gibbs suggested.

"Sounds good." Kate replied and quickly wrote down her address.

"Where are you going? I thought you wanted to get all your paperwork done?" Gibbs called out watching Kate pack up.

"I have to go home. My apartment is just a bit messy" she said and rushed off to the lift.

Gibbs shook his head. 'Finally, I get to see her outside of work!' he rejoiced. 'I wonder what her apartment would look like? I bet there isn't any pink in her apartment. Kate isn't the girly girl type' Gibbs thought and noticed that she had left her PDA sitting in the middle of her desk. He looked up at the lift wondering if she knew she left it behind. Gibbs decided to what a few moments before picking it up, 'After all I am going over to her place. I'll just say I noticed she left it behind' he thought causally. Several minutes past and there was no indication that Kate was coming back. Gibbs stood up and picked up the PDA. Holding it in the palm of his hand, all he had to do was flip open the top and he could enter a whole new to Kate. 'Just one little look wouldn't hurt' he thought reaching for the cover. 'No I can't! That would be invading her privacy, plus I have no idea how to use it!' he argued with himself. 'Although, how hard can it be?' he mused. Grumbling to himself Gibbs stood up heading to the lift and his car; he drove off towards his house. Arriving twenty minutes later, Gibbs let himself in. he ran up the stairs and grabbed a couple of spare t-shirts. Walking back down he went into his basement and organised all the tools he thought he would need into a bag.

He sat in his car and pulled out the piece of paper with Kate's address on it. Suddenly he remembered back to a week ago when he had overheard a conversation between Abby and Kate.

"Gibbs, yeah who wouldn't? He is kinda cute I his own little way" Kate said. Gibbs could imagine her smiling.

"What if the situation was different?" he heard Abby asked holding her breath.

"Possibly" Kate thought.

"What about now?" Abby asked again.

"Depends…" Kate paused.

"On what?" Abby shrieked

"Well, if he wants to. And if he does, then yeah I guess I could make it work. Though probably best to keep it a secret from the other, especially Tony. Just imagine how he would torture me" Kate groaned.

"Yeah, but you would have Gibbs to keep the hounds at bay". Gibbs looked down at the PDA lying on the passenger seat.

"No, Kate is expecting me" he told himself firmly and drove off.

Kate heard someone knocking on the door. 'Oh god, he is here already' she thought as she scanned the room.

"Hang on!" she yelled running around and picked up the loose clothes lying around. She dumped them into a closet and walked over to the door.

"Come in" she smiled swinging to door open. Gibbs nodded and walked into the hallway. The hallway led out into the kitchen on the left and the family room.

"So, is it your bathroom, or the spare room?" Gibbs asked seeing two different sets of door on the other side of the room.

"Mine. This way" Kate said.

"Just through here" she said entering her bedroom. Gibbs bent down and pulled open the cupboard doors.

"I don't see a leak" he said checking the pipes.

"That's because I asked the managers to turn off the water to my flat. But it's basically this pipe" Kate said crouching down beside him and pointed. Kate looked up at Gibbs as they were extremely close.

"I bet you want something to drink" she mumbled standing up.

"Coffee would be nice" he nodded. "Cream and sugar?" Kate asked at the door way.

"No thanks" he said and turned his head just in time to watch Kate walk away.
