Disclaimer: I wish I owned NCIS because if I did I would be darned if I killed off Kate, and I would have gotten her and Gibbs together ((blushes)). If I had to own something it would definitely be Gibbs's eyes. D

Spoiler: See mo evil (only in the first chapter though)

Chap 1

Kate sighed and rolled her eyes for the 6th time that morning. Tony had started to pick a fight with her on this particular day when some sleaze ball cutting her off on her way to work, horrible traffic and plus her alarm clock didn't ring until 5 minutes before she was due to be out the door.

And to greatest dismay; on the hottest day of the year the air conditioning stops working and she's wearing a light blue blouse and a knee-length black skirt. Across from her Tony was standing up ranting on and on about the girl he scored last night. His grey muscle top had a sweat circle over his chest; she just couldn't hold it in.

"Have you been working out Tony?" She asked getting up and walking over, tucking a strand of moist hair behind her ear.

"Yah all summer, glad you noticed." Tony said puffing up his chest little.

"No I mean just now because you're covered with sweat and it's not very attractive." She smiled at the look on his face. They were nose to nose now and throwing insult to insult back and forth. She had won at the end and headed over to her desk. She was about to sit down when out of nowhere McGee peered out from under her desk; head directly below her skirt.

"McGee what the hell are you doing under there?" She yelled; as Tony laughed across the room. "You have 5 seconds." She started lifting up her fingers one by one.

"I was just…."

"Time's up!" She bent over and grabbed McGee by both ears and pulled him up.

"Oww owww owww." Timothy whined. Just then the elevator dinged and they all turned their heads in confusion, it was already 9:30; a half hour after they started; it threw them more away when they saw their boss walk in without his normal coffee and his face rather pale.

Kate let go of McGee's ears as they all turned towards their boss. Gibbs was dressed in a grey sports coat and black dress pants, his shoes which were usually impeccable had scuff marks here and there on the prestige black suede.

"What are you looking at, don't you have paperwork to do!" He snapped McGee jumped at his tone and headed over to his desk immediately; Kate and Tony however slowly approached their mentor.

"Hey boss, you okay, you don't look so hot." Tony said standing beside Kate, still in his sweaty tee-shirt.

"I'm fine, and for god sakes DiNozzo put on a shirt, this is a federal building not a gym!" Gibbs retorted and pinched the bridge of his nose in agony. Truth be told he wasn't 'fine' he was nauseous, his head was about to burst and the simple light from the sun was blinding him like never before.

Tony hurried to get his shirt and tugged it over his head hastily; backwards. He got back to work on his own problems.

Kate however never faltered.

"Is there anything you wanted Special Agent Todd?" He said not quite meeting her eyes, but not able to meet anything else.

"Gibb, you sure you're okay, you don't look to good." She took a chance and placed the back of her hand on his forehead, making him jump.

Secretly Gibbs liked the feeling of her hand on his forehead but right now in his condition he couldn't concentrate.

"Like I said before I'm fine!" He raised his voice but was thrown away at the fact that Kate didn't leave.

"Gibbs….Gibbs look at me." She whispered softly so only he could hear, she knew that Tony was leaning over his desk to catch any snippet of what was being said.

Gibbs slowly looked at her, trying desperately to focus on her beautiful brown eyes, but she was a mere blur. She smiled a bit looked in his eyes. They weren't stable; her smile fell. One second later Gibbs collapsed on his desk; his forehead leaning on Kate's; she blushed and used her hands to put his head on her shoulder while she straightened him.

"Tony, McGee help me Goddamnit!" They shot out of their seats and rushed over. McGee took one arm and Tony the other, and they carried Gibbs heavy body to the elevator. Kate briskly walked behind them into the cubicle and pressed the basement button to go visit their trusted friend Dr. Mallard.

Author's Note: This is my first NCIS fic so please hold back on the heat…what I would appreciate is for you to tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I should change. Brit -xox-
