Sooo... I'm very excited about this story and were it stands to go. I think this story will be mostly about Gibbs and separately Kate and Tony. Of course there will be plenty of Abby and McGee and Ducky and all your favorite characters. (If you've read some of my other stories you may know I have a penchant for Jimmy Palmer) You may also know that I don't write very looong chapters, but this means I can get them up sooner.

Steam billowed behind from the pot behind Tony. He jumped in surprise as the hot vapor hit his back in a strong wave. Kate turned down the burner a little bit.

"Can't handle the heat Tony?" She smirked.

"It took me by surprise." He said straightening his dirty white apron. She rolled her eyes. In the warm kitchen people bustled all around them with trays of food, bottles of wine and even one very intimidating woman carrying a whole pig. Suddenly came into view.

"Lookin' good in that hairnet McFurry" Tony catcalled. McGee flung one Tony's general direction. Tony childishly stuck his tongue out at McGee.

"Stop joking around you to or you'll really be busboys." Gibbs crackled over their earpieces.

"Sorry boss." They mumbled turning back to their respective work.

"Have you located the head chef?"

"The head chef's name is Sahara Lee, one of the dishwashers said she doesn't come in till 20 minutes before opening." Tony mumbled so no one would hear.

The team was operating on an anonymous tip that the head chef at Blink Cuisine had murdered numerous chefs, busboys and waiters and waitresses, one of which was a marine. Now normally this would not be exactly NCIS' jurisdiction but the Marine was an ex-nephew or something of Gibbs' so of course thanks to the older man's apparently strong sense of family they were working the case. At least Tony thought it was kind of odd that he was helping one of his ex-wife's nephews. But after all it would be Gibbs, time and time again he would go to if he were ever in any trouble. So here they wore in hairnets and aprons. Kate was posing as a sue chef while McGee and Tony had unhappily become busboys. Kate was smug about this and actually seemed to be in her element having mastered the art of dicing.

The whole kitchen went silent. McGee glanced around anxiously until Kate surreptitiously elbowed him in the ribs. In the doorway a rather tall woman stood. Her eyes were cruel and condescending.

"Doors open in 20 minutes, now get to work underlings." She clapped her hands twice loudly and then the kitchen was buzzing with activity.

"That was very evil villain-like." Grumbled Tony.

It may take till the second or third chapter for this to get started. The team will investigate and possibly even act as bait for this murderer so please stay tuned. and R&R!
