I finally am putting up the next chapter. I am sorry this story is moving so slow, but writers block is hard to get out of.


"Kate! Thank God your alright. I was so worried about you. How are you feeling?" Tony ran over and gave Kate a warm, loving embrace."I'm fine Tony. Thanks for asking." She kinda shoved him away, afriad to be under Gibbs watchful eye.

"It's okay Kate... he knows."

"And just because I know DiNozzo, it doesn't mean that I want to see PDA everytime I turn around." McGee stood silently, glass in hand, utterly confused.

"God McGee. I can't believe you kept that glass." A look of disgust became planted on Kate's face.

"I told 'em to Kate. Glad to see you know how to follow order McGee. Now I have a feeling that I can trust you."

"Gibbs, if you only knew what was in that glass."

"Kate, I do know. I figured it out while walking down the hall with Tony. Now just to find out who it is."

"With Tony?" Kate laughed. "That's promising. Of all the people." She gave Tony a playful nudge and he slipped his arm around her waist.

"PDA!"

"Sorry Gibbs." Tony let his arm drop to his side, but not without allowing to slide over Kate's ass.


"Please explain to me Gibs why we are going back to HQ instead of staying and looking for Taylor. She has murdered two people." They were standing outside of the abandoned hotel, fixing to get into their cars. Kate was going to ride with Tony while McGee was going to ride with Gibbs.

"Because Tony, I have a hunch that Taylor isn't our main player. Plus, she knew we were coming. She is already gone."

"A hunch Gibbs?" Tony refrained a smirk.

"Shut up DiNozzo and get in your damn car." They all climbed into their vehicles and Tony let Gibbs pull out first. Kate was staring expressionlessly out the window as tiny rain drops began to form water puddles on the windows.

"Kate, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"She didn't kill him you know. She wouldn't do that because she loved him. I think that she was jealous."

"Kate hun. Who are you talking about?"

"TAYLOR! Haven't you heard a word that I've said?" Tony pulled away shocked. Why was this such a touchy subject for her? It scared him to see her this worked up.


"How did you find it? Where did you find it?" McGee looked amazed.

"Well, there was gravel in his hair. Plus, his ear was kinda scraped up, like he'd been dragged. It all seemed kinda hinky to me so the Duck-man and I just followed the clues and found his body behind this very building. In the dumpster actually. I never really understand what is so great about dumpsters. Now coffins... that's another story."

"Truth be told Abby, I am glad to see you work well in the field and in the lab." Gibbs had appeared in the morgue almost like magic, looking both tired and awake at the same time. Under his eyes were noticeable bags, but he walked with the posture of a man seriously caffinated.

"You know Gibbs, sometimes I think you are a wizard."

"Why is that Abbs?"

"Because a lot of times you just appear out of nowhere, scaring the pants of people, plus you are still alive after all that caffine you take in from coffee."

"Appearing out of nowhere is part of my sneaky charm and you are still alive after all those Caff-Pows."

"Don't turn into DiNozz with all those 'it's part of my charm' things."

"Forget it. Anyway, I need you to run another DNA test."

"Sure thing Gibbo. What am I working with this time? Fingernails, salivia... blood?" Abby sounded hopeful at the last one.

"You creep me out sometimes Abby. None of the above though. Try semen."

"Marvelous," Abby said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "It's things like this that really just make my day."


This chapter seemed a lot longer in my notebook. Hmm... maybe I should try to write longer ones. You think?

Please review!
