prologue
"I need some time off." Tru said to Davis.
"Okay, how long?" He asked expecting maybe 2 or 3 days.
"A week and a half."
"What? What if someone, you know, needs your help."
"Well I need some time with Luc. He's finally coming to terms with it, like Harrison did.He's even trying to help me with it when he has time."
"That's good but were are you going?"
"D.C. If you need me, you have my cell, but please don't call unless someone's dying. I mean that metorphorically." Tru corrected herself.
"Well have fun."
"Thanks, I will." And with that Tru left to go find Luc.
"You ready?" Tru asked when she had found him. It hadn't been that hard, he was in the dark room, just like always.
"Yep." Luc picked up the bag that was sitting in the corner and walked over to Tru. He put his spare arm around her waist and lead her out to his car.
They dropped by Tru's place to pick up her bags then left for Washington.
Chapter 1 Shenandoah
"So you still haven't told me where we're going for our week and a half." Tru mentioned as they picked their bags up from the luggage carosale.
"Well I want it to be a surprise."
"Come on."
"Nope you'll find out soon enough. Come on I have a rental car waiting for us." So they headed out and were on their way. They arrived at Shenandoah State Park an hour or so later.
"We're camping?" Tru guessed.
"What's wrong, don't you like camping. I didn't take you for the hotel, pampering type. I thought you would much rather roughing it."
"Oh, I do. I love camping, it's just been a while."
"Oh yeah? How long's a while."
"Since I was twelve." Tru laughed. The truth was she hadn't been camping with anyone except her family and they stopped going after her mother died. Luc just laughed and kissed her forhead as they started to set up.
-----------------------------
They hadn't had a case in a week and things were starting to get really boring. Kate and McGee had run out of paper work 2 days ago and Tony had finished yesterday. Now his only ammusement was annoying Kate.
"Go home, don't bother coming back till I call you with a case." Gibbs told the team.
Tony and Kate grabbed there things quickly and practically sprinted for the elevator before Gibbs changed his mind.
They were going away for the weekend. Up till now they hadn't been away just with each other in months and this was a welcomed opportunity.
"Ready?" Tony asked.
"Been ready for the past 2 months." Kate replied as they drove off to Shenandoah State Park.
