Tony's Pov
…Sincerely, Tony Dinozzo.Tony leaned back in his chair and sighed. His resignation was done, he was done; he got up slowly and buttoned his expensive but well fitted Armani suit. He picked up the life changing piece of paper and walked up the stairs to The Director of NCIS. He held onto it with such care it might as well have been a bomb packed with C4. He gave 3 soft raps on the door after being waved in by the secretary. Vance gave him a cruel knowing snarl of a smile.
He snatched the piece of paper out of his had and signed it with a quick flick of the wrist and order him to turn in his Credentials and gun. He did as he was told and walked out of the office without being dismissed feeling the harsh glare on his back. As he walked over to his now Ex- Coworkers desk he placed a letter on them each saying he was leaving and would contact them somehow soon. It was too early for anybody to be in the office so he packed up his things slowly and left unaware of the director of NCIS watching his every move from the cat walk.
Gibbs's Pov
The first thing the silver haired fox noticed when he walked into the bull pen that morning was that Tony Dinozzo's desk was cleaned off and a letter that was on his desk along with a rather small stack of files. He walked to his desk rather slowly and picked up the letter. "Jethro Gibbs" was scrawled rather hastily on the front. He opened the letter scared of what he would find. When he looked inside his fears had come true, the man had quit. Inside the thin envelope was his resignation letter and a personal letter addressed to him. The letter read….
Gibbs, before you go marching up to Director Vance's office demanding why I quit let me answer that for you, it's been a great 8 years with you but I can't take it anymore. After everything that's happened with all of us as a team I think it's my time to leave. Don't try to stop me I'm gone. I've thought about this for a while and I've decided to join the marines. I don't know why but its something I have to do. I know I'm not the most likely person you thought to join the Jarheads. Well I guess this is goodbye. For now, tell Abby I love her and I will write soon,
-Your right hand man, Tony. (Ps: I hope you're proud of me Gibbs, you're like my Dad and I would hate to be a disappointment to you.)
The vague letter angered him and he did exactly what the letter warned him not to do. He marched straight up to Leon Vance to demand why he let Tony quit.
Ziva and McGee's Pov
That morning when they walked into the bull pen they knew something was wrong. Tony's desk was cleared off and Abby was sitting in his chair crying. You practically see the steam coming out of Gibbs's ears, Ducky and Palmer were looking around sadly, and the director was standing on the cat walk looking smug. The air of tension and so many emotions in the room almost suffocated them. When they walked up to their desk's they saw a single letter with their name scrawled onto them. As soon as the opened them they regretted coming to work that day. All they could do is stare open mouthed at their letters. Tony had quit his family and NCIS to join the Marines. And he wasn't coming back….
