Authors Notes: There will be a chapter per team member I might add a group chapter at the end but it depends on reader response.

Tony

Tony sat looking out at the ocean. The last time he had been here he was here he had been saying goodbye to Kate. He smiled and thought about how on a bad day he could still sometimes feel the soft press of lips on his. The memory of their last goodbye.

Tony was here now because he needed the peace and memories that the place afforded. The stars glittered on the water and it set Tony's soul at peace. He had escaped the office before Ziva could drive him home and had having ignored the painkillers Ducky had given him and driven himself to this spot. All he could see was the faces of his team-mates as they joked about his exclusion from Ziva's dinner party. He choked out a sob, it didn't particularly matter to him that Ziva had not invited him it was the fact Gibbs, McGee and Abby had seemed to think his feelings irrelevant.

"Oh Katie." He sighed. "Why did you have to leave this would never have happened if you had been here."

"I thought we discussed this Tony. It was meant to be." Said a female voice.

"I know Katie but it has just got to be too much."

"I will be having words with those involved Tony don't worry but you are my priority. Now it is obvious how your feeling but please tell me in words it will help."

"I thought they would never leave me but they did Kate. Not in the traditional sense but they left me out in the cold how can I trust them to trust my back?"

"Oh Tony, that's the one thing I can't help you. If I could tell you straight off that you can trust them I would of course but you have to deal with that. All I can say is that they trust you Tony with their six but you have to talk to them. After I've finished with them obviously. You have to be brave and confident."

"What if my worst nightmare comes true?" Tony said tears gathering in his eyes.

"You won't know until you do it and if you don't you won't be whole."

"Real philosophical Katie."

"Well I was always more mature than you DiNozzo."
