Gibbs parked at the curb in front of Leah's house and walked over to where Kate and McGee were standing. What did you find?I just got a look through the windows while I was trying to find a way in. Let's go in and take a proper look. Kate walked over to the door and waited for Gibbs to catch up.

The older man pulled on gloves and then unlocked the door. He went to swing it open and was surprised when it refused to budge. Kate? How did you and Tony get out of here last night?

The brunette stared blankly at the uncooperative door. The knob has an automatic lock on it. We pulled it shut behind us and made sure it was secure. Her eyes darted up to meet her superior's. Are you...Did you turn the key the right way? Kate eyed him carefully.

Without taking his eyes off her, he turned the key first one way then the other, trying the door after each twist. He yanked the offending sliver of metal from the knob and looking again at the door, quickly chose another.

Let's see if this is it, he muttered, sliding the key into the deadbolt lock easily. He swung a narrowed gaze to the woman next to him, certain he heard her utter the word, under her breath. Turning the key, he heard the deadbolt withdraw and he tried the door once more.

The minute it swung open the alarm began beeping. He grabbed his phone and dialed Leah's number. When there was no answer he swore, and with the disarm time slipping away, he thought for a fast second. Here goes nothing, he muttered and punched in a series of digits. The beeping stopped and the display confirmed that the alarm had been disarmed. A slow grin spread over his face as he turned to the two agents behind him.

Kate found herself smiling in response to the look on Gibbs' face.

Nothing. Now, what did you find?For starters, a locked deadbolt that Tony and I did not lock last night. She pointed to the inside of the door at the deadbolt. Whoever did lock it has a key; you need one even from the inside. She turned and moved into the house. This way.

Gibbs followed Kate into the dining room, McGee trailing behind. All three were aghast at the red words defiling the wall.

Gibbs snapped, his jaw tightening. Flash it, then get some samples of whatever was used to paint it up there.You can run, but you can't hide. Kate recited the words softly as she moved closer to the wall. As soon as McGee had finished his photos, she ran a gloved finger along one of the letters. Well, it's had time to dry. It must have been done last night. She looked over her shoulder at her boss.

What else did you find? He kept a tight leash on his anger as he followed the brunette down the hall.

I saw this through the bedroom window and got a little freaked out, Kate admitted.

Gibbs stared at the bed. A large X had been deeply slashed into it, destroying the bedding as well as the mattress. he yelled over his shoulder, clenching his hands into fists at his side.

Yeah, Boss? McGee hurried into the room, stopping short at the sight of the bed. Got it, he said before Gibbs could tell him to photograph it.

Kate turned to walk out of the room and caught sight of the mirror. She couldn't stop the gasp that escaped and her hand involuntarily curled around Gibbs' wrist. Look. That's not what the mirror said last night.

Gibbs stepped in front of the dresser and read the words that obscured his reflection. One down, how many to go? Careful who you're seen with, honey. He resisted the temptation to pluck the picture wedged between the glass and the frame. Instead, he and Kate leaned in for a closer look, both of them pulling back in shock. It was a picture of Leah in his arms on the porch last night, just as Ducky was moving Ritchey's body out of the house.

Kate watched as Gibbs paled and closed his eyes. Looking at the mirror, she realized that the words were written in the same lipstick as the ones last night. Knowing that she and Tony took that particular tube with them, she began to search the dresser for another. Unable to find one, she turned to McGee.

Flash that, too, will you? I need to get a scraping of the lipstick. She turned and headed back to the living room for a swab from the kit.

Gibbs waited until McGee had finished with the photographs. Do you have another memory card for that?I'm not sure. He looked down the hall and saw Kate coming back. Kate? Do we have another memory card for the camera?We should. There's usually two in each bag. Why? She looked at the two men.

Go check. I want to take that one back with me. McGee nodded and headed for the car and Gibbs turned to Kate. We need to know if this is more duplication of former stalking or if this is new behavior. I want those pictures now.

Kate nodded and turned to take a sample of the lipstick. Take the evidence samples back to Abby, too. I'm pretty sure this is the same color lipstick as last night, she snapped the swab lid shut and handed it to Gibbs. But Tony and I took that one with us. She met his gaze evenly.

Gibbs headed out, stopping in the living room to pick up the camera's memory card and the other swab from McGee, in exchange for the keys he been asked to bring. Kate followed her boss, holding the digital image that had been wedged in the mirror frame, studying the picture intently.

McGee looked up from his electronics kit, noting the frown on her face. Something wrong, Kate? she said slowly. Something about the angle this was taken from. Look at this, McGee. Where would you say someone had to be to take this? She extended her hand so he could see the picture.

Well... where were Gibbs and Leah standing? He looked critically at the photograph, following Kate to the porch. They could hear Gibbs' car, engine revving impatiently as he drove away.

I wasn't out here, but... She looked at the structure and then back at the picture. I'd say... here. Wouldn't you agree? Looking at McGee, she waited for his assessment.

I think you're right. We should have asked Gibbs before he left. He held the picture in front of him and looked at it again. It looks like your photographer would have to have been standing over there. He turned and pointed off toward the driveway, near where Leah's car was parked. They looked at each other and slowly approached the vehicle, checking for any sign of an intruder.

Car's locked, McGee said, trying the door.

Not surprising. I doubt she leaves anything unlocked. Kate circled the vehicle, eyeing the area critically. Suddenly she stopped, looking up. We're too far away. Look.

He did as instructed and saw immediately that she was correct. Well he, or she, couldn't have been any closer. Someone would have seen them for sure. They exchanged looks, pondering.

All right, you go back to the security system. Will you be able to tell how it was bypassed since it obviously isn't anymore? They began walking back toward the house.

Maybe. I can tell how it could be bypassed, which might give us some insight. Do you remember what you saw last night? McGee stopped at the door.

Yeah, sort of. Kate started looking around the porch. McGee nodded and continued on inside.
