Chapter six-Turn Over

"Kate…wake up!" Tony shook her awake hoping to God he wouldn't get hurt. She moaned from under the sheets. "What?" "We do need to get up. GET UP!" Tony screamed. "FINE!" "Jeez. I never knew you were a heavy sleeper." Kate sat up, pushing long strands of brown hair away from her face and trying to fully wake up. "I'm usually not, but I haven't been able to get a good night's rest in a while." 'No further questions your honor.' Tony thought to himself and let the matter drop. "What time did you wake up?" Kate asked from the bathroom. "Um…around like 7." He heard the shower turn on and got flushed. "I'll be out in a few. Then we'll head towards the first place on our list and check it out."

Each place they went too was actually a potential spot for Ari to have his secret location. There were lot's of empty abanded areas from him to set up. Only now, they would have to crawl around in dusty places. 'FUN!' Tony thought once again, laying on the bed, and turning on the TV.

NCIS

"MCGEE!" Gibbs yelled walking into the bullpen. McGee popped up from the floor of his desk, his hair messed up a great deal. "Yes Boss?" He said, getting into his chair and fixing his appearance. "Got anything?" "Um…no…sorry boss. Tony and Kate just woke up, and they are headed for the first location on Perry St. They probably will end up going to the other one on Thomas Road as well." McGee chattered as he clicked on his computer keyboard. "Keep me posted." With that, he vanished with his cup of coffee, the second one of the morning."

Today was going to be just dandy! He was going to have to play room service. 'Oh I really hope there's nothing there' McGee thought, worried about how Gibbs would react if he did find something that wasn't there before.

ARI

"They are headed for Perry St. We see them walking towards the building." "I see it." Two guys spoke from an old truck. "The little brunette one just looked over here." "Kate!" The two men heard Ari's voice bellow at them. "Yes sir."

"O Catlin. Your never going to catch me. Not until I make a mistake. And I don't make mistakes. You know that." Ari spoke out loud to no one. A few people in the background, who were connecting wires to some old machinery paid no attention. The last screen on the TV's showed Kate and Tony together, walking into the building, guns drawn out.

"Today is the day I get to play room service. We'll see how well the NCIS agent handles that little speculation. I go in, he comes out!" Ari gave a short little laugh.

Kate and Tony

After spotting a few rats here and there, Kate finally spoke up. "Tony. I don't think they are in here. He seems to much of a well-groomed person to be here." She placed her gun back in it's holster walking, hunch back due to the low ceiling, to the exit, Tony at her side. Once back outside, they both sighed. "Nothing there. Want to head to next one now or what?" "Sure." Back in the car, Tony took out the road map and took out a pen. "Tony?" "Hang on." A loud knock on the window sent Kate into a fit of shrieks. "I'm sorry to scare you ma'm. But I think you dropped this." Kate rolled down her window and the man handed her a notepad. The one with all the names of places they need to check out. "Um…thanks." Before Kate could roll up her window, he continued talking. "So…what are you guys doing here?" "Here to check out wedding chapels." The guy looked back at the building. "This doesn't look like one." And he let out a laugh. "Yeah…last time we were here, it was, then it got torn down I'm assuming. Look sir…we really need to be going." Tony butt in. "Sure…sure…I'll see you around uh…" "Dean, and my girlfriend Carol." "Okay. Good bye." Finally they were able to leave.

"Hey Tony?" "Yeah Kate." "I had this in pocket the whole time. I never took it out once. So how did he get it?" Kate replied suddenly, with a worried look in her eyes. "Kate relax. It might've just fallen out." "Yeah I guess." "Let's head back to hotel. It's like half an hour to get there. We can eat lunch there and then scout out the other places." "Yes that would work. Thanks Tony." "Anytime love. Anytime."

NCIS

"McGee. Here's your uniform. Head down there now. Scope out the hotel room. See if anyone else has got them bugged." Gibbs said in Abby's lab as he handed McGee an ear phone plug so he could receive and send voice messages. "I'm on it." And he left, making his first ever undercover op.

ARI

Ari sat on the big brown arm chair, still staring intuitively at the five screens. McGee just left to go undercover, Kate and Tony were talking to his buddy who found out their list and would be soon getting back to him with that copy, Kate and Tony's hotel room, empty except for a maid making the bed, The bullpen unusually empty except for a guy carrying a mail cart, and his guys in the back snoring loudly. As soon as McGee got there, Ari would be there wandering around until he got to go ahead from his people that he could enter the room to scope out the information the two love-bird agents gathered. He saw McGee entering the room, this was Ari's queue to step. He already stood in uniform ready to make his debut.

HOTEL

McGee walked in carrying the room service cart even though no one was in the room, but according to the head of security they did make a call, so technically it worked for McGee and Ari. He took out a satellite type instrument and ran it over the whole room. He found a few bugs which he reported them right away. "McGee. Do not take them out. Who ever is watching them, let them think that we don't know anything." "Right." Then McGee steeped out. He walked down the long hallway and made a right turn towards the elevators.

Ari dressed up, came from the opposite corner and opened up the door. The room was clean. Bed's made, thanks to his beautiful mistress, who dressed up as the maid to wire in some sound connections to the hotel.

McGee stopped suddenly. The elevator doors were just about to open but he'd forgotten something back at the hotel. He turned the cart's wheel around and headed back, all the time cursing himself for forgetting something.

Ari's headquarters

"ARI COME IN! ARI!" A guy who'd replaced Ari's position by the TV monitors screamed into the walkie talkie. "THE AGENT IS COMING BACK! GET OUT!" The monitor of the hotel room, showed no signs of Ari making any moves to get out of there. "DAMN IT!" The guy called out, stroking his black hair in frustration. And where was his friend with the list of places that Kate and Tony were going to visit.

HOTEL

McGee stood by the door and heard a bunch of rustling and static sounds coming from inside the room. "Gibbs. Someone else is in that room. I'm going in, but it sounds like I need backup." "I'm on my way McGee. Hold him off as long as you can." McGee unlocked the door as quietly as he could. Holding his gun with both his hands, he kicked down the door with his foot and got the shock of his life.

Ari stood there, eyes locked with McGee's, his gun drawn out in front of him, in no attempt to surrender. McGee recognized the man. It was the same face that was on Gibbs's computer. Always trying to find another face or some sort of DNA match. And of all the people to find him, it had to be McGee...
