- hey, are you hearing this guys? - ask Tony.

- nope, why?- asked Bishop.
- the silence in this place. And there is no case, its almost time to go home and if in less than an hour Gibbs doesnt call to "gear up". We not going to work on this weekend.
- dont said it Tony. Everytime we think that, Gibbs came with a case.- McGee stated.
- true, but this time i got s feeling that this weekend is a no working weekend. Probie.
- where is Gibbs anyway?- Bishop asked.
- He, Sannon and Director Vance went to the big speech of the Senator on the Garden party in Maple Heights.
- Gibbs wouldnt go to there to hear the Senator speak!- Tony added.
- No, but SecNav requested to him be there just in case.- McGee stated.
- Maple Heights citizens, friends, representants, there is been a Honor serving all of you in this last eight years. In the darkest moments, we kept woth strength and hope. And, with the help of our estimade NCIS federal department we Ban the evil from our bases. But the fight isnt over, if you allow me, i want to march onde more to the battle and finish what we started. If you vote for me, i promise that our ancestrals that built the navy, together i will do Maple Heights reborn from the ashes, together we...... - The Senator sees something.- Oh my God, whats happening with Jerry?! Someone call 9-1-1.
When Jerry was declared dead, Gibbs call his team.
- there it goes our free weekend. - Bishop said.
- Blame Tony for speaking before the time.- McGee said.
- i didnt kill the guy on a Marine base. Probie.
- McGee, perimeter and sketching and mesurements; Tony help Shannon interview the guests and Bishop photos.
- on it.- they all said at the same time.
-what a waste of human life. Looks like Jerry started to cough after eat the cake, Ducky.
- well  lets bag the body before someone else sees it. We dont want a campaign party of the Senator Howard Johnson reelection get even worse. - Ducky said to Jimmy.
- Gibbs is talking to him now.- Bishop said taking the last photo.
- i cant believe this! My reelection campaign started with a disaster. This cant be happening. I knew Jerry sonce childwood. Damn it, if i was a Senator in first place was thanks to that man. Jerry was the exclusive owner of the club living Stone, where every powerfuls people of the City reunite and talk about business. He was the pilar of Mable Heights. Nobody wanted him dead.... oh my God, and what if the killer wanted to kill me insted of him.
- we cant be sure of that Sir. Thats why i would like to ask you to have a extra protection during your campaign.- Gibbs said and left.
- Bishop and Shannon go to the living Stone club, since our victim was the owner.
When they got there. Bishop asked Shannon.
- so, you and Gibbs uh.
- what we have?
- i saw you two kissing the other day.
- who knows about it?
- everyone on the team. Even the Director knows.
- Damn it. I hope he doesnt find out.
- whats the problem?
- he might stay away from me again. Push me away. We broke rule number #12, but we try not to.
- you know. Shannon, i dont know how we are going to obtain the list of the members of this club.
- that whisky cup might help us.- Shannon said pointing to the cup in top of the table.
- lets Apply the powder and see if we can find at least one member.
She Apply it and found two lip narjs on the glass.
- whoever drink this whisky must had wear gloves, there is no fingerprints, just two lip marks.
- Lucky for us, there are also so individuals as fingerprints. If we look in the data base, we will find him.
They send it to Abby.
McGee and Tony had found a torn brochure, but instead of sending it to Abby, McGee wanted to fix it by himself.
Gibbs enters Abby's lab for a update.
- what you got Abs.?
- Shannon and Bishop send me this lip marks, but they are still running. I examinate the cake and found razor blades inside the cake. Jerry must had eaten them.... and toss them out. Wich means...
- thats the murder weapon.
- exactely. There's something written on them. "
he who leaves aside what is done for what ought to be done, soon invites his ruin instead of his preservation." I run this on everything i could find about it and it's a passage from the book " the prince" of Maquiavel. Basically he is saying that is right to kill it means to guarantee someone else survival. so we have a killer that has a needs to justify to himself and that he kill a victim for some survival reason.
Gibbs looks at her in confusion. When suddenly she got a hint on those lip marks.
- The lip marks belongs to a guy name Mitchell westville.
- which means he is member of that club.
Gibbs send Tony snd Bishop since McGee hadnt finish to restore the brochure. Then Gibbs went to Ducky.
- well Jethro, i had to open the victim to examimate the digestive sistem and he didnt chew the food  unfortunately  this bad habbit this time has cost his life. And thats why we must always chew our food. If he had chew his food  he could have felt the blades, he wouldn be dead. Now, the cuts on his throat i found little fiber thay had the same texture of a tennis ball. Obviously these fibers werent on the cake, so it must have come from the killer.
- if he has a tennis ball, he plays it.
- thats exactely what i was thinking Jethro. May i ask you a personal question?
- sure, whay is it Duck?
- are you and Shannon breaking rule number #12?
- maybe, why?
- well, no reason. I hope you too can work and date together at the same time.
- i hope that too Duck. Shannon is not like the others. She os special. Very special. Hurting her would hurt more in me than on her.
- i dont doubt you.
