Kate Todd groaned as she rolled out of bed. She had a splitting headache, so she walked into the bathroom to get an aspirin. That was when she noticed the bruise on her jaw and and the purple handprints on her shoulders. And the events of the night before flooded back to her. She'd been raped. No, almost raped. He'd only gotten her pants unzipped and ripped her shirt open before she'd kneed him in the groin and tore off toward home. She shoved it toward the back of her mind though. Caitlin Todd's job was calling.
Gibbs greeted Kate with a cheerful, "Mornin' Kate. You look like hell."
"Thanks Gibbs, you too." Kate replied as she sat down at her desk.
She scooted her chair in, and shrieked.
Tony yelled a curse as he hit his head on Kate's desk.
"Tony! What the HELL are you doing under my desk?"
Tony backed out from under the desk and sat up, rubbing his head.
"Damn Kate. You put the fear of God in me."
Gibbs smirked. "Someone needed to."
Tony turned back to look under the desk.
"Aha!" He declared. "I was looking, for this."
He turned around and showed Kate a small blue gelatinous looking ball.
"I bought it for you." He grinned. "I thought it was cool lookin, the way the milky stuff swirls around.
Kate's expression had softened. "Thanks." she murmured.
Tony looked over at Gibbs, concerned. Gibbs only shook his head and looked toward Tony's desk and back again.
Tony nodded and got to work.
