So this is an idea I've been kicking around for a while now. It's set during Frame Up. What if one of Tony's ex's wasn't what everyone was expecting?

… … … … … …. … ….

"Hello?"

"Uh, hi, this is Timothy McGee with the Naval Cri-"

"I know what NCIS stands for. What do you want?"

"Uh, is Alex Romani there?"

"This is Alex."

"Uh…do you know an Anthony DiNozzo?"

"Tony? What'd that lying bastard do this time?"

"I- uh, well…how do you know Agent Dinozzo?"

"We knocked boots for a while 'till he suddenly dumped me for no reason, the jerk!"

"Uuuhh, right… well, where were you exactly three nights ago?"

"Out, with my new boyfriend and some of our buddies. Why? What happened?"

"I uh, can not disclose that information at this time. Do you have the phone number of one of the people you went out with so that I can verify that?"

"Just what the hell do you people think I did? And why is it you calling me inst- oh my god, what happened to Tony? Is he alright?"

"He's … ok, we just really need to check every possibility right now… uh… that phone number?"

"Right… it's uh… oh, shit, hang on, I had it here yesterday morning…aha! Ok, 617-4932."

"Thank you, Mr. Romani."

"Hey, can you have Tony call me as soon as he can? I just want to make sure he's ok, you know?"

"I will make sure to let him know that you want to get a hold of him. Uh, good day, Mr. Romani."

"Bye."

"Who was that, McGee? Did Tony's ex have a husband now? I have encountered several of those."

"No…"

"A father, perhaps? I had one of those, too."

"No…"

"What, then? You look like you have seen a goat!"

"The term is 'ghost.'"

"Whatever! Who was it that you were talking to that made you look like that?"

"Tony's ex…"

"But you were talking to a man! I distinctly remember hearing you say Mr.! Why would you say-"

"Uh-huh."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"…"

"…"

"Abby's going to love this."
