Undercover Hallucination

As Jenny checked us in with the concierge I had noticed the same look on Tony and McGee’s faces they had when Jenny came back to the agency. But this time Abby and Jethro had the same look on their faces.
“What’s wrong with them?” I asked.
“I’m not sure. I don’t like seeing that look on Tony’s face.” Ziva answered.
“Watch it Ziva, your concerned girlfriend side is showing.”
“I don’t like seeing that look on Dad’s face either.” Ziva said
“Better sis.”
“Jaylyn did you say something to me?” Jenny asked.
“No, I didn’t mom.”
Jenny turned her attention back to the concierge.
“This is going to take some getting used to.”
Minutes later we were in the living room of our three bedroom hotel room.
“What did you guys see that caused the deer in the headlights look?” I asked.
“We saw someone that was a part of our team a few years ago.” McGee said.
“Who did they see?” Agent Vaile said in our earwigs.
“Kate?” Ziva asked.
“But she died six years ago when Ari shot her.”
“We all thought the Director was dead and you brought her back.” Abby said.
“So you think Kate faked her death like Jenny did.”
“Pretty much.” Tony said.
“But you and Gibbs were there when Kate died.” I said.
“Yeah, I remember.” Tony said as he remembered Kate taking a second bullet from Ari and being sprayed with Kate’s blood.
“You guys keep tabs while you are there and we’ll look into it here.” Agent Blye said.
“Thank-you Kensi.” Jethro said.
“Your welcome, Gibbs. And please all of you keep to your covers.”
“We’ll try, Agent Byle.” Jenny said.
Jenny and Jethro snuck off to their room for some alone time, Tony sat down to watch TV, McGee decided to listen to a MIT lecture online. Ziva, Abby and I went to our room to unpack. Jenny and Jethro took their wrist microphones off along with their earwigs before anything started.
“Just like Marseilles?” Jethro asked.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way, Jethro.”
Meanwhile in the room I was sharing with Abby and Ziva we were bonding. Just like my sister and Jethro we took out our earwigs and removed our wrist microphones.
“I don’t know the whole story of what happened when Kate died.” I said.
“What is there to know? My brother attempted to shoot Gibbs; Kate took the bullet to protect Gibbs, then Ari shot Kate and I killed my brother to protect Gibbs.”
“Still a sore subject?”
“Yes.”
“Kate was family, Jay. Just like you are.” Abby said.
“If Kate is really still alive, I might get the axe.”
“You are not going to be fired, Gibbs wouldn’t fire you and Jenny wouldn’t allow it.” Ziva said.
“I know that, but if Davenport says to fire me Jenny and Gibbs have to follow orders.”
“It won’t come to that. Gibbs will fight for you and so will the Director.”Abby said.
“Okay, I think I am going to go call Balboa.”
Back in the living room McGee looked up from his laptop to see Tony thinking about something,
“What are you thinking about, Tony?” McGee asked.
“Kate.”
“Me too.”
“Kate is dead, I was there when the bastard shot her. There is no way in hell Kate would be alive after taking a .308 round.” Tony said.
“Six years later and you remember what the round was.”
“Kate was my partner, Probie.”
“I know.”
“If Kate is alive, I wonder how Ziva is going to handle Kate being around. And what is going to happen to the team.”
“All I know is that I would love to be around when Kate and Ziva meet each other.” McGee said.
“So would I.”
After Tony spoke there was a knock at the door. Ziva came out of our room with her gun drawn after she told Abby to stay where she was. Tony and McGee both had their guns out as well. Tony and McGee were a few steps behind Ziva. I quickly got off my cell with Balboa and joined the others. As I walked by Jenny and Jethro’s room, I could hear Jethro stumbling around as he told my sister to stay put.
“We’ve got it out here, Dad. Stay in there with Mom.” I said.
“Where is Abby?” Jethro asked in a hushed voice.
“I told her to stay in the bedroom.” Ziva answered.
“Are Tony and Tim with you two?”
“Yes.” I answered.
There was a knock on the door again followed by a voice.
“Open up Tony, its Kate. I know you and the others are in there.”
Tony looked through the peephole and saw Kate on the other side.
“Come on Tony.”
At that point Tony opened the door as we all holstered our guns.
“Miss me?” Kate asked once she came into the hotel room.
