CHAPTER 7
Tony and Kate arrived at the camp and asked anyone who said they knew the missing cook if they knew anything about what he had been up to, but all they could come up with was that he hadn't turned up for work that morning. Tony and Kate were both upset that they didn't know anything new and couldn't even find out where he lived. The man had moved just a week before the petty officer was murdered and his knew address wasn't on his records and no one seemed to know his knew location.
"This guy was guarded; And smart." Said Tony.
"Not smart enough to hide his face when he was poisoning the petty officers food." Said Kate.
"How is someone not smart enough to wear a mask, go to moving to a location so it wouldn't come up on his records. He had an accomplice."
"No… he was the accomplice." Said Kate.
They went to find the director of the camp. They knocked on the door several times before someone let them in.
"Hi. I'm Special Agent DiNozzo and this is Special Agent Todd, we're here about the murder of one of your petty officers… Ronald Smith." Tony said rather quickly.
"We gave you all the info we had." He said started to close the door but Kate blocked him from closing it.
"Our job." Tony said, "Is to make sure all the information you gave us, is really all you've got."
"We want all the information you personally have on this officer." Kate said handing him a picture.
"I run this camp, I don't get friendly with its lower personnel." He said.
"He works here, he is a cook. Do you have the information on him or not?" Tony said firmly.
"No, but follow this man, (Tony and Kate had noticed the black officer in uniform standing behind the director) and he will show you were you can get all the information we have all ready given you, phone number, location and what not. Now if you are done I have things to attend to. Agent DiNozzo, Agent Todd." The man said nodding at them.
Once they had the information and had his address they called Gibbs.
"Hi boss. Yup we got the information. It's not his current address but the house is still on the market so its possible there's still some stuff to be found. Do you want us to head out there? Ok see you later." Tony put down the phone. "He wants us to go head out there." Tony said to Kate as he pulled out of the camp. Once they reached his house the one thing they noticed was that it was extremely quiet.
"Tony we don't have a warrant to search the house." Kate said.
"Damn it." Tony said quietly.
They walked to the front door and knocked loudly. When no one answered Tony went around and looked in the windows.
"Hey Kate." Tony said.
"What is it?" Kate asked.
"I think I know where he is." Tony looked around smiling.
Inside there was a 'worker needed' pamphlet for a 5 star hotel just outside of DC.
"You think he got the job?" Kate asked Tony.
"Can't see why not." Tony replied already calling Gibbs.
A few minutes later he got off the phone a grinned widely at Kate.
"What?" Kate asked.
"Ready to go undercover?" Tony asked still smiling.
"Do I have a choice?" Kate responded, kiddingly
"Gibbs confirmed that he works there and we'll we need to get in there. So break out your fancy cloth's because according to our fake I.Ds I'm one of the wealthiest men in the Landscaping industry." Tony said almost laughing.
"Uh oh here we go. Just this time Tony make sure you don't fall over when you're trying to eavesdrop." Kate said playfully.
They got back to NCIS and got on some good clothes and were givin a wad of money to pay for the hotel.
"Remember don't move in until you see something suspicious." Gibbs instructed.
"Got it boss." Tony said his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Oh and DiNozzo, have a good time." Gibbs said smiling.
"Thanks boss."
Tony and Kate got into a car that was normally used by the rich and famous.
"Man o man I am looking forward to this." Tony said looking at the car.
"God Tony you're like a kid at Christmas." Kate joked, fiddling with all the jewellery she had to wear.
"You look really nice in that dress Kate." Tony said.
"Thanks." Kate said but her face was going bright red.
On the way Tony's phone rang.
"DiNozzo, Oh hi boss. What? Ok. Alright." Tony put down the phone.
"What was that all about?" Kate asked.
"Well Gibbs got the room for us, it's under Mr. and Mrs. Henderson. There are some rings in the glove box, we have to wear them." Tony said.
Kate laughed.
"Rushing it a bit aren't we Tony?" Kate said jokingly.
Tony laughed. When they got there they checked in and went up to the room. Once they got all their bags in they stood looking at the room.
"Wow." Tony said looking around.
"God… how much is this costing?" Kate said. " Wait, you know what, I don't even want to know."
"Hey the governments paying for it, lets enjoy it." Said Tony as he winked at Kate.
