Chapter 1
"Boy!" barked Major John J. Gibbs to Tony. Tony had been goofing off in the squad room when the Major had walked in looking for Gibbs. He hadn't liked what he saw and was about to called Tony out for it.
Tony ignored the slur and continued to talk to his two team mates; which made the major even madder.
"I'm talking to you, boy!" shouted the Major to Tony as he grabbed his upper arm.
"The name is Anthony Di…" Tony started to say as he recognized the Major. This was a cousin of his father, Jethro Gibbs, a man who had made his life miserable whenever he came to visit while he was growing up. He liked to use the belt too much. It hadn't been so bad when he first met the man because his dad was usually with him but once he hit the age of fifteen his butt was always sore whenever his Uncle visited.
"What can I do for you Major?" Tony asked respectfully to the amazement of his team mates.
"That's better, boy. Where is your f…."
"Are You looking for my boss, Major?" Tony quickly interrupted.
There were only a few at NCIS that knew that Tony was Gibbs' adopted son. He hadn't wanted his team mates to know for fear that they might assume that he got this job because of his relationship with Gibbs or that they might not be themselves around him.
Major Gibbs was about to repeat himself when he heard, "John!" and turned to watch his cousin Jethro walk back into the squad room.
"This is my cousin, Major John Gibbs. I haven't seen John in at least ten years. He was a constant companion while I was growing up."
He then turned back to his cousin and introduced his team. "John these are my agents. The one at the computer is Special Agent Tim McGee, this is Special Agent Kate Todd and I see you have already met my senior agent Tony DiNozzo."
Gibbs then turned back to John and asked, "How long are you going to be in town?"
"I've been reassigned indefinitely to Washington, Jethro," replied John.
"Look I'm going for coffee, walk with me and we can catch up on the news," invited Gibbs as he grabbed his coat and left with his cousin leaving his team to get back to work.
Tony hadn't liked his Uncle John and now learning that he was stationed in D.C. did nothing for the butterflies in his stomach. He only hoped that he wouldn't run into his uncle much and returned to his work.
