"... and, Agent Dinozzo," finished the Director, looking at the worn agent.
"Special Agent Dinozzo," Tony corrected, "and saved the best for last, didn't you?""
Gibbs shot him a look before the Director continued on. "Agent Dinozzo. You will be transferred to a different team. The position you turned down in Spain a year ago is opened again for an unfortunate reason. You will have five people working under you for the Rota NCIS. Your flight leaves tomorrow at 600 hours. Breifing will wait until you arrive in Spain."
Tony was speechless for once. Gibbs, however, was not. "Team turned down a year ago, Director? Did I hear you correctly?"
"Yes, you did, Agent Gibbs." Vance opened a file reading down from it. "Dinozzo was offered a leadership position in Rota , Spain by Director Shepard. This position would have been," Vance raised his eyebrows, "Equal or even superior to your present position, Gibbs. Dinozzo turned it down. Apparently, he wanted to keep something from you."
Tony let out a quick sigh. Ziva had crossed her arms and was glaring, while McGee was looking confused as normal. Only Gibbs was looking at tony.
"Yeah. I, um, didn't think I was ready yet." Tony turned his glare back to Vance. "Apparently, I am now."
Vance nodded. "I would suggest you begin to pack your possessions. Perhaps your friends could help you. Spain is a long way away."
Recognizing this as a dismissal, Tony, Ziva and McGee exited the office, leaving Gibbs looking after Tony.
