Signed, GallopGirl.

They walked up to the roadhouse where they'd be staying. Tony was still giving Kate funny looks and Kate ignored him. They walked in and stopped at the front counter.

"Hello, how my I help you" Said a beaming, roundish lady. Here name tag said "Howdy there, I'm Judith!"

Gibbs smiled his charming smile "We have three rooms booked, under…"

"Caitlin Todd" She quickly added, her being the one who booked the rooms.

"Sweetie, we need you middle name too… and ID to make sure. Can never be to sure ya know," She said, winking at Tony. He gave her a quick smile.

"Ah um Caitlin Ann Todd" She said quickly, hoping Tony had caught it. But the jab in the side quickly told her she was not so fortunate. She turned around and glared at him.

"I'm afraid we have a problem… you were 20 minutes late and we only have the two rooms. Duck shooting season" She added with a smile.

-

Just as Kate had unlocked the door, Tony barged past her, nearly knocking her down.

"Watch it Tony," She snapped.

Tony ran it the bedroom then came back smiling.

"King sized bed Katie Ann Todd, maybe our weekend inst ruined after all," He said with a cheeky grin.

Kate threw key at him, it hit him on the shoulder. "Keep it up Tony, and you'll be sleeping on the couch" She sighed, dumping the stuff in the room. She stood disapprovingly at the bed. At that moment Tony tackled her down onto the bed.

"Ah, so you don't disapprove of us sleeping together…"

Kate suddenly grinned, "We've done it before"

"Ahhh there's the Kate I know and love"

Kate hit him "Are you saying you don't love me all the time"

"Of course I do, its, well you've been quiet snappy lately and hitting me a lot" He said now serious, propping his head up. He fiddled with her hair.

"I know… I haven't been feeling my self lately. Tired and stuff"

"And what about this morning, what was that all about?" He questioned.

"Stomach flu I think… something like that," She said, I little too reassuringly.

"Well maybe I should let you have the bed and I'll sleep on the couch," He said, going to get up.

Kate pulled him back down. "Not a chance in hell, Anthony DiNozzo!" She said, kissing him.

-

Kate sat up, head spinning. It was 2 am, the unfamiliar alarm clock. Tony moaned in his sleep. She turned the alarm off, stumbled as quietly to the toilet, and vomited.

Tony woke up and felt over to the other side of the bed. It was empty. He shot up, looking and seeing nothing. A figure crept in, a sweet smell of soap and shampoo followed.

"What time is it?" He mumbled.

"3 am" She said, fumbling around for cloths. "You might want to get up, I can hear Gibbs bustling around already…"

Tony went a little pale "Do you think he heard us?" he said in a whisper.

He couldn't see her face, but he knew she have that mystifying, cheeky grin.

"Don't you mean heard you… I was quiet"

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Crap, Tony you better get it and I'll get dressed…"

-

They all sat together at the roadhouse diner, Kate had only ordered a coffee, Gibbs gave her a worried look, but Kate didn't notice.

They had decided that they were going to have a talk to a Margaret Louise, daughter of Officer Derrick Louise, who had been found strangled and dumped in Lake Mildred of the little town, San Ablest. She had claimed she had heard her mother, Rhiannon say she was going to kill him. A lot of the evidence matched up, but something, one thing, kept popping up. A single strand of golden hair, just like Margaret's, found in the dumped car, hooked on he shirt pocket, caught on the rope used to straggle him.

Rhiannon was yet to be charged, but after some questioning, Gibbs was sure Margaret was the one going to jail.

They spent the day questioning Margaret; Tony had pleaser watching the beautiful 20-something, blonde hair girl squirm. That was until Kate almost shoved her elbow through his ribs. After half a day of questioning her, they went back to the car, Tony rubbing his ribs, Kate glaring at him.

They were going to see one witness before they called it quits. This one was another 20-something, brunet, slimmed and tanned. Her name was Amber. She could be a model. She flirted with Tony and he played along with her, smiling his charming smiling, telling jokes not that funny and she would crack up laughing.

Kate kept elbowing him till you elbow was numb. She then chose to ignore him almost hear-broken.

-

Back at the room, Kate threw the keys, A LOT harder this time.

"Ow!" yelped Tony.

"You were staring right at her breasts Tony!" She shouted, not caring if Gibbs, or the whole world herd.

"Was not! I was looking at her necklace…" He said in his defense.

"Yeah right!" She snapped, throwing a pillow at him. "And what about Amber!"

"What about her?" He snapped back.

"Don't tell me you didn't know. Her flirting around with you…" She said with a shuddering breath. "And you flirting back" She said red-faced, walking into the toilet and slamming the door and locking it.

"Kate…" He said quietly, walking to the door.

"Fuck off Tony" Came the sobbing cry from Kate.

Tony huffed, spinning around and walking out the door.
