Chapter 12
(**Flashback**)
„I think someone ran over Gordon"
Gibbs, Kate and Tony are at the crime scene.
„Come one, we're going to talk to the man who organised this party!" Gibbs says mildly angry.
Tony and Kate follow him. They see a local LEO. Gibbs starts walking faster. He goes up t him and asks him:
„Can we talk to the person who is responsible for the party?"
„I'm afraid you cannot, sir." The LEO says quite professionally.
„You're afraid!?" Gibbs raises his voice.
„Yes, sir." The LEO replies to him.
„Now, don't you sir me! How could you let him go? He could be the main suspect!" Gibbs snaps at him.
„He said he had to go, sir." The man said.
„Do you do that with all the suspects?" Gibbs asked him ironically. The man rolls his eyes when Gibbs turns around. Gibbs yells without turning around:
„Don't you roll your eyes at me like that"
Kate and Tony turn around and follow Gibbs. Gibbs takes Tony and Kate with him. Kate takes the front seat, and Tony takes the back seats.
Later...
After getting the info, they find out who organised the party. They go to a highschool and meet the guy.
„Darin Spotnitz?" Gibbs asks while approaching him.
„Maybe." The guy says, which makes Kate roll her eyes.
„How about now?" Tony and Kate say while showing their badges. Gibbs shows it too.
„Definetely." The guy says while mildly gulping.
„Did you see this guy yesterday, at the party?" Kate says and shows him the picture.
„No, I didn't work at the party." Darin shrugs. Gibbs gives him a questionable glance. He shows them his PDA.
„My parties are marked with a brand." Darin explains.
„Are you old enough to make parties like this?" Gibbs asks him.
„Are you kidding? I'm not old enough to even attend parties like this. But you're not gonna tell my parents, right?" He shows concern.
„Your parents don't know?" Tony asks him confused.
„Um, no." Darin says.
„Give us the information about employees and guests, bill..." Kate says. He gives them his business card and all the details. They walk out of the school and Kate says:
„Wow, his parents didn't know."
„What were you expecting, Kate?" Gibbs answers her back. They get into the car.
Later...
They arrive at the naval base.
„What are we looking for?" Tony asks.
„Answers." Gibbs replies and walks away.
„You got plans tonight?" Tony turns to Kate.
„Not really." Kate says.
„Good. 'Cause the last time Gibbs was like this, I didn't go home for a week." Tony assures her.
"The sad part? It would actually be an improvement over my social life." Kate confesses. Tony laughs a bit.
They search the room. Tony looks at the DVDs and remembers:
"That reminds me. I have to return Gigli back."
„You watched Gigli?" Kate laughs to herself.
„I heard that." Tony says, „Look. He must really liked reality shows. Punk'd is here too." Gibbs lifts his head and asks:
„Punk'd?"
„Geez, Gibbs, even I know what Punk'd is." Kate says. Gibbs glares at her.
„Punk'd is a TV show where they prank celebrities." Tony tells him.
„Something like Candid Camera?" Gibbs asks.
„What's Candid Camera?" Tony asks confused.
„It looks like someone was searching for something." Gibbs says, „The furniture has been moved" Her points to traces on the rug.
„Wonder what they were looking for." Tony says.
„Wonder did they found it." Kate says.
„I woner when you two are gonna stop yakking at get back to work" Gibbs ironically growls at them. He notices the stereo.
„It's on, but no sound." Gibbs questions the stereo carefully.
„Why would someone do that?" Kate wonders.
„I don't know. You tell me. You're the profiler."
Profiler.
She hated when they call her like that. She decided to roll her eyes and pretend like nothing happened. Like she always does.
„The speakers aren't connected, boss" Tony shows him. Gibbs opens the stereo and sighs at the sight. He takes 40,000 $ from the stereo.
„Funny thing about stereos, Tony... You can't hear the music if the speakers aren't on." Gibbs sarcastically says while showing him the money.
„Have you ever been in a men's room Katie?" Tony teases Kate.
„No, have you?" She strikes back. He smirks at her, and she grins.
Later...
„Have any idea what this stuff are, Kate?" Tony asks Kate while pointing to some thing in the lab.
„Sure!" Kate grins at him.
„What?" Tony is still confused.
„Evidence!" She smiles.
Later...
„Well, we've got the suspect, Katie!" Tony says happily.
„Do. Not. Call. Me. KATIE!" She yells at him.
„Sorry..." Tony steps away so she wouldn't hurt him.
„What day is it?" Kate asks him.
„Um, I think Sunday." Tony says.
„Uh, we're working tomorrow again!" She groans.
„Guess I see you tomorrow, Katie." He says with a big, evil grin on his face.
Kate glares at him. She sighs.
