Tony and Kate smiled and made small talk at dinner, all the while observing everyone around them. Unfortunately for Kate, they had been seated with two of the women from her makeup class that afternoon and would not stop chattering away about eye liners and lipsticks. When Kate noticed Tony surprising a chuckle, she slid her hand down his leg and pinched his thigh. Tony jumped slightly and leaned closer to her to whisper in her ear.
"I warned you Kate, you get me I get you." He flashed her killer grin before starting up with a conversation with one of the men at the table.
"It looks to me that the Orton's have taken a leaf out of your book my dear." The redhead from Kate's class had leaned over and lowered her voice so that only Kate could hear her. "I haven't seen Mrs. Orton all day and my husband tells me that Mr. Orton wasn't in any of his classes today either." She winked knowingly at Kate who forced herself to smile shyly, all the while trying to keep a worried expression of her face. She turned to see if Tony too had heard what the redhead with to much eye makeup had said but he was deep in a conversation about baseball statistics.
'The Orton's haven't shown up for their classes today and no one has seen them tonight either.' Kate was terrified that they were too late and that the killers had already found their next victims. She was about to interrupt Tony with another pinch on the leg when the band started up.
"Tony, you promised that you'd dance with me tonight." She grabbed his arm and pulled him out onto the dance floor where other couples were already gathering. "Did you hear what that woman was saying?" Kate pressed herself against Tony's so that no one else would be able to hear their conversation.
"That the Orton's didn't show up for any of their classes today and no one's seen them all night either?"
Kate looked up at him in surprise, "How did you know that?"
"I can listen to two people at once Kate, besides with that guy all I had to do was smile and nod and agree with him. I feel kinda sick though because, man I hate the Cubs."
"I don't have a good feeling about this Tony; I think we should go check on them."
"Kate, it may very well be that they're simply doing what everyone thought we were doing yesterday." He gave her a wink before spinning her gently and pulling her back into his arms.
"Where did you learn how to dance so well?"
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me Kate." He grinned at her before pulling her closer, he told himself that it was because the owners of the spa were dancing right next to them, but he knew he would have to admit that he loved the feel of her body against his.
"I think we should check on them as soon as we get outta here."
"I think so to, one more dance and then we'll say our goodnights."
Twenty minutes later Kate and Tony were walking arm and arm down the path that led to different cottages.
"I'm glad we decided to take a walk tonight, its so pretty out." Kate winked at Tony as they made their way along the path. She began to chatter about her 'sister' and how excited she was about becoming and aunt to twin girls, and how she hoped that they would be identical. Tony was shocked at how easily it all came to her, if anyone over heard their conversation they would think that Kate really was about to become and aunt and that she and her sister talked about the medical aspect of the pregnancy constantly.
"Makes you think about us starting a family to doesn't it?" He stopped her fifteen feet away from the Orton's cottage, once again her body fit against his and he leaned down close enough to kiss her, "You ever make out in the woods before?"
It took Kate a minute to find the words that wouldn't come up; he was so close to her right now, too close. "Yes, but I haven't done it in some time." She winked at him before grabbing his hand and leading him into the woods.
Even with the cover of the trees Kate stayed close to Tony as they made their way through woods toward the Orton's cottage.
"How are we supposed to get a look in their cottage without anyone noticing?" Kate whispered as they came up on the back of the cottage.
"Well the lights are on; I can't decide whether or not that's a good sign or a bad sign." Tony and Kate crept up to the window and peered inside, what they saw made them both duck a little too quickly, causing Tony to bump his head against the wall. They heard Mr. Orton say something to his wife, with one look at each other Kate and Tony shot off through the woods.
They were still running as they ran into their cottage, locking the door behind them.
"Oh my God, oh my God. Do you think they saw us?" Kate had collapsed onto the floor in a fit of giggles, all the while trying to catch her breath.
"I hope not, how many people actually get up and leave the room while having sex?" Tony was lying next to her on the ground, laughing just as hard as she was. He rolled over to look at her and found her just as close as they had been earlier that evening.
Kate realized that they shouldn't be this close, that they shouldn't be so close together, but she couldn't roll away.
"We should call Gibbs and then get some sleep." Tony was trying to get his mind off of her, and the best way to do that was to think of Gibbs, who would fire him if he knew what was going on in Tony's mind right now.
"Yea right, Gibbs." Kate smiled weakly and rolled herself up off the ground, she was just thankful that this was their second to last night at the spa and that the Orton's were safe and sound in their cottage. She paused as she reached for her phone, of course that meant the killers were still hunting for their victims, and it wasn't in their profile to wait much longer.
