"Know what's up with Tony?" Kate catches up with me as I make my way towards my desk. "He's been kicking the crap out of his desk for five minutes."

I glance up to see Tony on the phone. "He looks fine to me." I merely shrug.

"Do not put me on hold again! Do not —" He growls loudly.

"He still seem fine to you?"

"He's not that far off normal."

She files some stuff away in the cabinet. "He mentioned his car was towed from the 2200 block of Dumbarton in Georgetown." I can feel the smirk radiating off her face. "Isn't that where you live?"

My eyes meet Tony's as he curses at the person on the other end. "And hundreds of university students." I quickly clear my throat, looking away from him.

"Anyways, you got your bag packed?" She holds up her red suitcase.

"Got it right here with me." I nod my head.

"Finally, you made it." McGee greets Tony. "Truck's gassed up, and Ducky already left."

"Don't start, Probie." Tony spits out.

Kate chuckles to herself. "Tony's car was towed. Poor baby had to take the bus to work." She pouts her lips in fake pity.

"You know what kind of people take the bus?"

"Yeah, I take the bus."

"Exactly."

Abby stops by before we leave. "Hey, I heard you guys are going to Norfolk."

"Yeah. But we should be back in time to leave by six." I assure her.

"Leave?"

Oh, boy.

"For where?" Tony furrows his brows, yet his eyes show mischief. "You three are spending the weekend together." He shuts his eyes momentarily. "Hold on, let me paint a picture."

"You're a pig." Kate rolls her eyes.

"Probie, any idea where they're going?"

"Sorry, cannot divulge that information, Tony."

"Health spa." Here comes Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the party pooper. "He'll spend all day trying to figure it out. I do not need him distracted."

Abby discreetly waves one of my panties, to which I snatch it out of her hand before one of the guys can see.

We report our findings on Petty Officer Dobbs, the man who owns the storage unit containing the body, before leaving for the crime scene.

Back at headquarters, McGee informs Gibbs about Dobbs' valor and that his CO was waiting to talk in MTAC. Kate talks to the LEOs in Dobbs' hometown, leaving me and Tony to go down to the garage and begin an inventory on his things.

"I still don't understand why you followed me to the restaurant." My foot taps repeatedly against the floor. "If you really wanted to meet with me, you could have just called."

He snaps around, eyes narrowed. "And tell you what? Don't go on a date with that guy, he's not good enough for you?"

"Something. . .something like that." A sigh escapes my lips. "But I couldn't just cancel. He and I had it planned for months. And it was a one-time thing."

"So what? He'd move on and forget about it." His words drip with venom.

"You shouldn't have parked in that lot. It's a telltale sign if there are no other cars parked there."
