"Gives you a warm feeling doesn't it, knowing Gibbs trusts us with a contaminated crime scene?" I ask Gerald, and he laughs, but I've got to admit that I'm wondering why Gibbs is trusting Kate to work the boat alone. Come to think of it, Officer Dimbulb probably messed with that scene too, seeing how he was too stupid to wait for an ME. Still, Kate's a newbie. It's not like she's got the routine down pat, even if I did brief her on the procedure.


I don't know whether I'm hoping she doesn't screw up or hoping that she does.

"Can't work a field in high heels," Gibbs says, and leads me off to his car in search of socks.

I've got a feeling he's never going to tell me how he knew that I wouldn't take the time to go home and change into something more sensible after dumping my date. Or how he knew which size boots to bring along. One thing's for sure, it wasn't a lucky guess.

The hat fits too.

"Like certain species of frogs, I grow what I need," she told me, and I was hard put to keep a straight face. But she's good, and she's dedicated, and she's pretty damn tough as well as being damn pretty. The five minutes when I wasn't sure of her were hard, but she recovered from the news of her lover's death fast enough to help me, and I know plenty of people who wouldn't have. Between us, we kept the situation from turning into a disaster. Thank God the Secret Service was dumb enough to accept her resignation.


She's mine now.
