‘stuff’: Missing scene –
Marine Down. It seemed like snow around Gibbs in the graveyard,
so I imagine it was Autumn? The lines below are from
that ep. Title: Back-up weapon On the firing range: GIBBS: Oh, we're just getting warmed
up. Gimme your
cover. TONY: What for?...right.
Oh - come on, boss, I've been breaking that cap in for three months, I love
that cap! KATE: Then don't shoot it. (taking Tony’s cap from him) GIBBS: Did you back this up? (taking Kate’s Palm Pilot from her) KATE: Oh - no, no, no, Gibbs, c'mon, my
whole life is in that thing. Gibbs, c'mon! GIBBS: Then don't shoot it. KATE: If we screw this up, I have a
suggestion. TONY: What? KATE: We break into Gibbs's basement
and we set his boat on fire. TONY: That's cold, Kate. I knew there
was a reason I liked you. ************************************* Tony stared at the small
brown cardboard box on his desk as if it might explode at any minute. Without
any labels or indication of where it had come from, he wasn’t taking any
chances. Gibbs walked past, coffee in
hand and waved at it. ‘You can open it.’ Tony tore at the parcel tape
and looked inside. ‘A cover.’ He was unimpressed. Gibbs nodded. ‘My first cover.’ ‘What?’ Tony pulled the blue
cap out of the box and held it gently, staring at it. ‘Got it my
first week.’ Tony grinned nervously. ‘And
you’re giving it to me?’ ‘Yours has holes in it Tony.
Looks like the moths got to it.’ Tony shuddered. He was okay
with most of the creatures he shared the planet with but moths…no way. Tony smiled. ‘Thanks boss.’ Gibbs nodded curtly and
looked across as Kate walked into the office. ‘What’s this?’ ‘I got a new cover.’ Tony
grinned, walking across to her desk and looking at the box, identical to the
one on his own desk. ‘Open it.’ Kate looked across. ‘Boss?’ Gibbs nodded. ‘Go ahead.’ He
slid into his chair and powered up his computer. Kate reached into her desk
and pulled out a Swiss Army knife, flicking the blade open, slitting the tape around
the box. She reached in and lifted out the Palm Pilot. Sadly she sighed: ‘I
lost everything…’ Gibbs looked up. ‘Try it.’ Kate and Tony wore identical
expressions of confusion as Kate entered her user name and password out of
habit, almost dropping the device as it displayed the familiar contents list. ‘What…how…when?’ Gibbs smiled. ‘Abbs backed
it up the day before you had your target practice.’ Kate’s eyes widened as she
stared at Gibbs. ‘You *planned* our humiliation?’ Nodding, Gibbs took a large
sip of his coffee. ‘Yup. Happy now?’
His eyes swept from Kate’s still open-mouthed amazement to Tony’s
slowly-dissolving grin. Although he was pleased with his own gift, planning his
own cover’s demise in that way was just…mean. Kate was torn between relief
and anger. ‘You really need that second ‘B’ in your name boss.’ Gibbs chuckled and sat back
in his chair. ‘Anything happens to my boat, losing your address book’s gonna be
the least of your problems Agent Todd.’ Kate gulped and looked at
Tony who was already backing away, separating himself from Kate’s idea of
punishing Gibbs in such a drastic way. End Send me feedback on these fics
