Tony woke up with a pounding head, before he realized that it was actually someone pounding on the door. 'That better be room service.' He was about to get out of bed before he realized that he was wrapped around his partner. 'O crap,' he was amazed that Kate hadn't shot him yet. He tried to untangle himself from her without waking her up but as he moved away she stirred slightly and rolled into him. 'Please don't wake up, please don't wake up.' He prayed as he made his way out of the bed, he was so silent that he made it half way to the door when she finally opened her eyes.
"Who's at the door?" her voice was thick with sleep and her eyes were fighting to stay open.
"It's too early Kate; my X-Ray vision hasn't started working yet." Tony gave her a look before opened the door and barely jumped out of the way when Gibbs came barreling in headfirst with a cart.
"Jesus Gibbs! You trying to run me over?" Tony closed the door quickly and gave Gibbs a hurt look.
"You two still asleep?" Gibbs eyed Kate questionably as she stumbled out of bed and made her way over to the cart that contained their breakfast.
"Yes Gibbs, we were still asleep. It's what normal people do on vacation, they sleep in. When was the last time you had a vacation?"
"Can't remember, and anyways, you're not on vacation." Gibbs eyed the bed questionably. "Did you two sleep together?"
"Where else were we supposed to sleep Gibbs? And don't worry Tony was a perfect gentleman. He stayed on his side of the bed." Kate pretended to be interested in the food that Gibbs had brought so that she wouldn't have to look either of them in the eye.
Tony tried not to show the grin that was about to spread across his lips and was about to pour himself a cup of coffee before he finally got a good look at what Gibbs was wearing.
"What the hell are you looking at DiNozzo?" Gibbs glared angrily at Tony, he already felt like a fool in his get-up.
Tony was grinning wickedly, "Absolutely nothing boss." He quickly busied himself with pouring his coffee so that he didn't have to look at Gibbs.
"Where did you get that outfit Gibbs?" She to had noticed that Gibbs was dressed as a spa worker, white collared shirt, white pants, and white shoes. "You look more like an orderly than a staffer." Apparently being tired made her bold.
"I had to be able to get to you two unnoticed remember? And Kate, its N-CIS not A-CIS." Gibbs motioned towards the T-Shirt Kate had worn to bed with ARMY written across it. Kate simply rolled her eyes and reached for the coffee that Tony handed her, taking a grateful sip before reaching for the file that Gibbs had brought with him.
"You two come up with any new theories last night?" Gibbs began inspecting the cabin; all of the cabins at the spa had different styles, none of the murder victims stayed in the same cabin or the same style of cabin, which meant that the killer was not territorial to a degree.
"Kate had a theory on the killer's boss." Tony grabbed a croissant out of Kate's hand before she was able to take a bite.
"What? O yea, I was thinking that maybe they didn't use just chloroform to subdue the victims; maybe they put something in their food also. It would have been too hard to subdue two people at once." Kate grabbed the croissant back from Tony and took as big a bite as she could out of it all the while glaring at Tony.
"You got anything DiNozzo or are you letting Kate do all of the work?" Gibbs had finished his inspection of the cabin and was considering Kate's theory.
"I think it's more than one person." Tony was glaring back at Kate who couldn't hide her smirk.
"Serial killers rarely work together DiNozzo, and if Kate's right there wouldn't need to be two."
"This is a rare case boss, and I'm just going with different options because there's nothing else to go on." Tony knew that this case was bugging Gibbs because they had so little to go on, but he didn't appreciate Gibbs just shutting down his theory.
"That's true, I've already been to the crime scene and there's not much to see. I've got a meeting with the locals in a half hour; can you two get away from your appointments this afternoon?"
"No problem boss, we'll just go inform everyone that we've gone back into the honeymoon stage." He winked wickedly at Kate and then moved towards his dresser to start getting ready for the day.
"I do have permission to shoot him right?" Kate was still glaring at Tony's back as he moved to the bathroom.
"After this case Kate, you can do anything you want to him."
