"DiNozzo, how you feeling?" Gibbs was leaning over his unconscious agent as he opened his eyes and looked around with a confused expression before rolling onto his side and vomiting up everything he had eaten earlier that evening. "The drugs will do that to you, you should have seen Kate, she wouldn't stop puking for at least ten minutes." Gibbs put a hand on Tony's shoulder and pushed him gently back onto the gurney. Suddenly, Tony became very aware of his surroundings and what had happened came flooding back to him.
"What happened, where's Kate!" Tony attempted to jump up but was met once again by Gibbs's hand pushing him back down.
"She's fine, the paramedics are still checking on her because she had a higher dose of both drugs than you did. As for what happened, something about the cases was bugging me so I decided to read over them again. And then I saw something that was common in all of the statements from the owners, there alibi's were to perfect and they co borated each other to well. Then Abby called and said that the chloroform that was used came from a specific company and she had traced that back to a faulty account owned by a Mr. Yang, which she traced back to Mr. Bontecou's accounts. It wasn't enough for an arrest but I decided to come down here and talk to you guys about it any ways. You're lucky I did."
Tony nodded his agreement. So it had been the Bontecou's all along. Tony sat up and waved off Gibbs hand, "Why?"
"Why does anyone do anything they do DiNozzo? They had been in and out of counseling for a few months before the first murder. And suddenly they stopped; apparently they found something that cured all of their marital problems."
Tony was about to ask more questions but Gibbs held up his hand and told him to lie back and relax, "You're going to the hospital over night for observations just so that they can make sure all of the drugs are out of your system. I'll be over there in the morning to pick you guys up, just get some sleep and worry about the case tomorrow." Gibbs signaled to the paramedics to put Tony into the ambulance and walked over to make sure they were doing the same with Kate. As soon as he saw the doors close and both ambulances drive off he gave a small sigh of relief, he had almost his two best agents and friends and that had scared him. Now with Tony and Kate safe and getting the care that they needed, Gibbs turned his attention onto the two people who had killed so many happy couples.
"How does someone realize that murdering people will save their marriage?" Kate was sitting on the end of Tony's hospital bed, waiting him to finish getting ready because she was more than ready to get out of there.
"According to Gibbs, the first couple they murdered was to keep them quiet and after that they got a taste for it." Tony put his gun in his holster and pulled Kate up from the bed.
"Why did they need to keep them quiet?" As they walked out of the hospital room Kate reached for Tony's hand and then stopped herself, realizing that the case was over and that she no longer had to act like his wife.
"Apparently they tried some new things in the bedroom to help their marriage since counseling didn't seem to." Tony raised an eyebrow at her and gave her a wicked grin.
"You mean," Kate looked at Tony in surprise.
"Or should I say wanted to try some new things in the bedroom, they never got around to it."
"So they got a couple staying at their spa to, experiment with them and then the couple backed out so they killed them, I still don't get it." Kate paused while Tony held the door open for her.
"Think about it Kate, would you want to go to a spa where you knew the owners were not only kinky in the bedroom but were also enlisting there members to join in the fun?"
"But why kill them, why not just offer them hush money?"
"I guess they got caught up in the heat of the moment." They had reached the taxi waiting for them and Tony held the door open for Kate before sliding in beside her. "Haven't you ever done some crazy things in the bedroom?" Tony raised his eyebrows and winked slyly at Kate.
"Was that an invitation DiNozzo?" Kate smiled innocently at him, for once she had stunned him speechless and he just stared at her wide eyed as she gave the taxi driver directions to Gibbs' hotel. "What do you think Gibbs is gonna say?"
"I only talked to him for a minute today and then someone from JAG called; we'll ask him when we get there." Tony watched Kate out of the corner of the eye as she stared out the window; he tried to forget how close he had come to loosing her. His eyes wandered down to her lips and he realized that he might never get another chance to kiss her. He never should have in the first place, because now all he wanted to do was grab her and kiss her like she should be kissed. He wondered what was going to happen now, something was different between them, not a bad different, but like something was about to happen and neither of them knew what it was.
