Gibbs rolled over and reached for his cell phone that was ringing to close to his head.

"Gibbs."

"Morning Gibbs, you sound chipper." Abby's voice was slightly too perky for this early in the morning.

"Abby, I just went to bed a few hours ago, you mind telling me what this is about?"

"Of course, I retested everything from the crime scenes. Believe it or not the FBI did a decent job. The only thing that isn't consistent was the blood tests. I found trace amounts of Clorazepate Dipotassium. It's a type of sedative that when used with food can make you extremely drowsy and slows your reaction time. Because there were trace amounts I think that the victims ingested it through there food."

"Why didn't the FBI catch this?"

"Cuz, I don't work for them Gibbs." Abby smiled into the phone as she heard Gibbs chuckle. "How are Kate and Tony doing?"

Gibbs sighed, "Well you know Kate and you know Tony, so how you think they're doing?"

"Frankly I'm surprised that Kate hasn't killed them yet. You want me to call them with what I've found?"

"No that's ok I'm going to call them in little while so I'll tell them then." Gibbs hung up the phone and pulled himself out of bed. So Kate had been right, the victims had been drugged before to make it easier to subdue them. Gibbs took a good look at himself in the mirror before turning on the shower, he wondered if he sometimes didn't give his team enough credit, but he was a marine and praise was not so easily given.

"Someone was watching us last night Gibbs." Kate sat on the edge of their bed talking to Gibbs on her cell phone. When Gibbs had called they had already been awake for an hour and had just finished breakfast.

"How?" Gibbs had an eerie feeling about this. If someone was watching them then they either knew who Tony and Kate really were or the killers had chosen their next victims.

"Tony and I sleep with the windows and curtains open to let fresh air in. We think someone was behind the trees right outside our windows last night. Tony's out there checking right now."

"I found a set of footprints by the trees; they look like someone was standing there for awhile." Tony had returned and placed his camera on the table. "Tell Gibbs I took pictures and I'll upload them to Abby in a minute."

"Damn it, you two be careful today, just act like normal spa members and go to all of your appointments. Kate, you were right Abby found traces of a sedative besides chloroform in the victim's blood, which means they were drugged before hand."

Kate looked up at Tony and gave him a wicked grin, "Thanks Gibbs, I need to get dressed so Tony will tell you what we found last night." Kate handed her phone to Tony all the while grinning at him.

"Boss, what'd you do to make Kate grin like that?"

"Nothing DiNozzo, what'd you find?"

After Tony got finished explaining what he and Kate had discovered last night, they headed up to the spa for their treatments that morning. Mud wraps, manicure and pedicures, and then hot stone massages. In the afternoon Kate was off to learn about makeup and Tony swam laps in the pool. They met afterwards at their cabin and Kate sank, exhausted onto the bed.

"Don't get me wrong DiNozzo, I'm a girl and I love makeup, but that was too much. Those women, they don't think about anything else except clothes, makeup, and their little circle of friends."

Tony sank down beside her, "why did they schedule my massage before my swimming? My muscles are all tight again."

"You that out of shape DiNozzo?" Kate smiled innocently at him and was shocked when he hit her with a pillow. "DiNozzo!"

"What?"

"You just hit me with a pillow!" Kate was sitting up glaring down at him.

"No I didn't"

"Yes you did."

"What ever you say Todd, what do we have to wear tonight for dinner?"

"Nice casual and I hate it when you do that."

"Do what?" Tony stood up and walked over to the closet.

"Change subjects like that, it drives me crazy." Kate followed him and bumped him out of the way to get to her clothes.

Tony leaned in closer to her, "Maybe that's why I do it."

"I have no doubt." Kate took a step closer to him before sidestepping around him and making her way towards the bathroom.

Half and hour later they were walking up the path to the main building, Tony held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze before pulling her closer and wrapping his arm around her shoulder. "Nervous?"

"What that we'll blow our cover if it already hasn't been blown and that the killers may already have or have chosen their victims?"

"Yea that"

"Not at all, you?"

"Please Kate." Tony gave her another reassuring squeeze before releasing her as they entered the dining room and began to face the evening ahead.
