This was it tony thought it's all or nothing now. He began psyching himself up, taking in deep breaths you can do this, it's easy. Come on! Tony began to make his way slowly and silently Gibbs and McGee are counting on you so don't screw this up just take it nice and slowly ignore everything else just concentrate on the task ahead. Easier said than done tony murmured under his breath quietly. He was now there standing and ready waiting for his signal. Deep breath in...and out slowly he thought as he did it.
Beep!
This was it. Here I go he thought Good luck and please please work. He took three strides back then he move quickly forward and swings his arm and let go. He could hear the shouting of his name but suddenly it was silent as he let go. Time seemed so slow down. The tension began to build faster and faster. Everyone was nervous...Hoping and praying. The time seemed to return to normal. I turn away to walk back
Crash!
I quickly turn
STRIKE!
I can hear the cheering and clapping from total strangers and Ducky as we had won, my team: Me, Gibbs and McGee verses Abby, Ziva and Palmer. I look towards Gibbs and see him smiling and clapping. I can't help but smile and bow a few times while say thank you thank you. The team is now laughing. 'Well I guess that means that you're paying for dinner then.' As I look and speak to Abby and Ziva while smiling. Ziva sighs 'yes we're paying for dinner. We lost now don't rub it out.' 'It's rub it in zeeeva' I correct her I feel a pat on my back to turn a look to see jimmy palmer standing there 'Well done' he says 'Cheers cuz' I say he just smiles and shakes his head. 'Well' I say clapping my hands 'What would we like for dinner guys?' just then it that few moments you saw picture worth capturing as you saw them all sitting there looking at you with real, true smiles on their faces. You saw Abby laughing at something McGee had whispered into her ear, you saw Ziva smiling dangerously as though she was planning payback but also that she was here surrounded by her friends, her equals again and you had Ducky and Gibbs who were talking and chuckling with me standing and smiling at them all. And it's in that few moments that you see not colleagues or friends but something stronger, something true and equal.
You see a close family
