AN: Okay, Agent Emily Doseck belongs to me. snerk (waves to her friend) Agents Chaunda(pronounced Shawn-duh, and Chaun is pronounced Shawn), Darin, Garret Syntos, and Agents Kevin, Maria, Shane Grindstaff, and Eric Zyman belong to me as well. To Chaunda: I made ya a Kincaid by name, hon! LOL. The last names are names of people I know. Some of the first names are too, so technically, they don't belong to me. But I'm not getting into the whole 'What belongs to you, but you never use...' riddle. Not right NOW anyways. Go to the Tate and Gabby groups. We can get into it there. Yeah! We have 17 members in the Gabby, and 51 in the Tate now. Yayness! Gabbsters and Taters everywhere! Heheehehe! Jenni, we really DO have to decide on what we'll call ourselves. Hmm... Okay, going on now... Story...

Kate looked up as Gibbs rounded the corner of her desk on his way back from the crime scene.
"Gibbs, why are we going already going undercover when we just got this case? That guy could be anywhere on the east coast. Isn't that jumping the gun a bit" she asked.
"She kinda has a point, Boss."
Gibbs sat down at his desk and looked patiently at his colleagues. "Agent Doseck's team had this case. Her two best field agents were killed by the murderer. He could kill again in the time it'd take for her to break in a new team, so the director's passed it on to us. Rather, us and two other teams. We have a crude path established. The killer will hit one of three bases next. The other two teams will be stationed at Pax River and Willow Grove. We're taking Dahigren. We'll set up at your new house on Friday."
"This Friday" Kate asked.
"Yes."
"Boss, it's Thursday"
"I know. That'll give you the weekend to settle in and unpack. Any questions" Gibbs looked at them expectantly.
Kate wasn't about to be one to disappoint. "How long is this gonna take"
"As long as it takes us to find the killer." Gibbs retorted as, coffee in hand, he headed for the elevator.
Kate looked blankly at Tony. "What does that-"
"Pack enough for a month" Gibbs called. The two just stared after their boss.

The next morning, everyone gathered in Abby's lab to collect their licenses, stationing orders, and credit cards. In addition to Gibbs' team, the two others working the case and Agent Doseck were there. Gibbs had made it clear to Kate and Tony that Agent Doseck was still heading the case.
The first trio consisted of a black man and woman: Chaunda and Darin, and their boss, a tanned man of about Gibbs' age with sandy blonde hair named Garret Syntos. The third couple -to be stationed at Patuxent River- was a white guy named Kevin, and his hispanic partner Maria. Their boss, a black woman named Shane Grindstaff, and other partner, Eric Zyman were standing with them. Everyone was watching Abby as she pulled their cards from her filing cabinet, and papers as they came off the printer.
As Abby went about her work, Agent Doseck briefed the group. "Since this happened on such short notice, you'll all be issued new middle and last names, but keep your first ones. We can't run the risk of you slipping up and calling each other the wrong name. After Miss Sciuto gives you your dossiers, go through all of them with your partners. On the car ride to your new assignments, memorize them. You don't know who all will confront you when you reach your destination, or what questions they'll ask. By tomorrow, you should be able to tell me your spouse's zodiac sign and what 'your song' is. I trust you already know the basics of your files now." The couples nodded their assent.
"Good. Miss Sciuto, whenever you're ready."
Abby grinned at the formal use of her name as she turned to face the group. "Alright. Chaunda and Darin, you're now Mr. and Mrs. Darin Kincaid. Here ya go."
Darin winked at his partner. "Hello, Mrs. Kincaid." Chaunda rolled her eyes.
"Kevin and Maria" Abby continued"you're the Shehans. Tony, Kate, you're the Addamses." She handed them each a manila envelope full of documents.
"Oh. One more thing." Abby added. "I didn't pick your jobs. Your bosses all did that. Take it out on them. Okay. I'm done now."
"Gracias, Abby." Maria replied. "Well, Señor Shehan, let's go."
The second team looked at Garret, who nodded to them, the other bosses, and left. "Guess we go now too. Good luck. Chaun, time to roll out."
The pair left Gibbs' team standing there with Agent Doseck and Abby.
"Agent Gibbs, I'll see you at MTAC when you return." With a curt nod, she too left.
Tony frowned. "Wow. Is she always that impersonal"
Gibbs sighed. "Actually, Em wasn't always like that. Losing her agents has really taken a toll on her." He paused, silently remembering something none of them could understand. He quickly snapped out of it. "Alright. Bring these boxes of equipment around back. We'll load 'em into your new car and get underway."
With those final words, Gibbs set his coffee down, hefted a box up into his arms, and headed for the elevator.
"The ones marked 'dishes' and stuff like that are the ones you need... Don't get hurt" Abby blurted.
Kate closed the distance and embraced her friend. "We'll be fine, Abby. I promise we'll come back in one piece. Even if my sanity won't be wholly intact."
"I heard that." Tony said from behind her. Kate moved aside and Tony hugged Abby as well.
"Kate's right. We'll make it out." he shrugged. "When was the last time she was wrong" With a last pair of grins, the partners left with the last of the boxes. Abby turned up her music, staring with glazed eyes after her friends.

"You said I'm always right" Kate insisted. As they exited the elevator.
"No.." Tony argued, sighting Gibbs in the loading dock. "I said, 'When was the last time she was wrong.' That's different."
"No it's not. Saying there hasn't been a time I was wrong is the same as saying I'm always right"
Tony sighed. "Kate-"
"You two! Quit bickering and load up. You haven't even gotten to the base and you're already acting like a married couple." Gibbs rebuked.
"Just gettin' into character, Boss."
"Well you're in the wrong character. You're supposed to be newlyweds. Not filing for divorce."
