Told You So

Title: Told You So
Pairing/Warning/Rating: NCIS fandom, no pairings, rated G
Word Count: 200
Summary: Tony was right and Kate was wrong, and he's not going to let her forget that any time soon.
Author's Note: Written for the [livejournal.com profile] ncisdrabble100 challenge: bad idea

“I hate to say I told you so, Kate... but I told you so.”

“Fine. You were right. Is that what you want me to say, Tony? That you were right and I was wrong?”

“I told you it was a bad idea, Abby told you it was a bad idea even Ducky told you it was a bad idea, but you-”

“Ducky didn’t say it was a bad idea!”

“Fine, my mistake. Ducky told you it ‘might not be the smartest way of celebrating such a momentous occasion’  which boils down to pretty much the same thing.”

“But I thought...”

“Thought what, Kate? Thought that you knew better than we did? More like you didn’t think. For heaven’s sake, the man’s a marine. A marine!”

“I know that, Tony. I do. I just didn’t expect...”

“If you didn’t expect this kind of reaction then don’t know the marine mindset at all.”

“No, I guess I don’t.”

“But I guess you know better now, don’t you?”

“I definitely do.”

“Good, then you can get this mess cleaned up while I go find something patch up the bullet holes. And Kate?”

“Yeah, Tony?”

“No more surprise birthday parties for Gibbs, okay?”

either flat out torture or just coercion, which isn't much better.

And if you're forcing an answer, how do you know they're saying something truthful and not what you want to hear?

you don't. but if you're using torture to get the answer in the first place, are you honestly going to care about truth?

good point. probably not- but it leads to a vicious cycle- you get info and run with it, and arrest someone else who then says stuff to get you to leave them alone and you run with that etc etc...
