Okay so it took me an extra day to upload because our internet was down but as you can see I did upload which means that I did in fact keep my promise, so here is the original story. Sorry for the mess up, I promise that it won't happen again and I promise that this version is way better than the one I originally uploaded. Thanks for all the support and encouragment, I love all you guys so much and you don't even know. Please keep leaving reviews that help me make my story better, but also be sure to leave reviews telling me what you want to happen because for the most part I will incorporate all of your ideas. Anyways here's the story. Enjoy.
Tony got into the office a little bit later than normal because of traffic issues and he hoped that no one had noticed yet so he wouldn't be yelled at. As he walked into the office he instantly realized that Gibbs wasn't at his desk or anywhere in the vicinity, McGee was hard at work already, and Ziva was sitting at her desk looking at Tony.
"Tony, good thing you finally decided to show up to work before Gibbs got here and yelled at you for being so late. Oh, and you have a letter that was addressed to you, but the weird thing is that there was no return address," McGee said without even looking up from his computer screen.
Tony set his stuff by his desk and wondered who in the world would send him a letter with no return address. He shrugged it off without thinking and grabbed the letter from McGee who was still typing like his life depended on it. Carefully he opened the letter, still being cautious since the letter he opened with no-manic plaque (sorry if I spelled it worng, sue me), and read through the letter. Instantly the color drained from his face and he had to sit down before his legs fell out from under him.
"Tony, are you okay? You look really pale all of a sudden. Are you sick or something? Was it something that the letter said?" Asked a very concerned Ziva.
At first Tony didn't even realize that Ziva was talking to him until he looked up and noticed that both Ziva and McGee were staring at him as if he had grown a second head or something along those lines.
"Sorry Ziva, it's nothing I promise. Just a little prank that one of my old buddies is pulling on me and for a second there I really thought it wasn't a joke until I read the last few lines. Don't worry it's just an immature joke okay?" Tony said brushing it off like it was nothing. The two didn't look like they believed their teammate,but they decided that they trusted him to come to them if he was in trouble. Ziva and McGee looked each other in the eye and both shrugged thinking that maybe it really was just a stupid joke.
Gibbs walked in carrying his usual coffee and stopped at Tony's desk, "Hey DiNozzo, you look a bit pale. If you are sick than why don't you just go home and call it a day? I don't need you to get everyone else in the office sick just because you are to stubborn to admit that DiNozzo's do in fact get sick."
"Boss, I really need to talk to you about something very important. I don't even mean a little important, I'm talking about life and death here. Alone too because I don't want anyone else to know what just happened," whispered Tony to Gibbs. Gibbs gave him a nod and walked off with Tony hot on his heals. They walked down hallways and went towards the interrogation rooms where they could talk in private.
"Okay, so what's all this about? Please, don't tell me that you are dying because of a disease you forgot to mention to me," Gibbs said with all seriousness.
Tony shook his head as he said, "No, not that extreme but pretty damn close boss. James Worlow sent me a letter today and it read: 'Dear Tony, I'm coming for you in a few days, but when you get this letter I will already be in Washington and most likely have a plan of action. Regardless of my plan you will end up dead and that's a guarantee. Tell Gibbs that I'm sorry I have to kill an innocent person, but he has to know what it is like to loose your only son. Oh, and Tony it's nothing personal and if I could I would not kill you, but sadly you are the price to pay for Gibbs' mistake. Bye, see you soon."
Gibbs stared at Tony first before he could even comprehend the fact that James Worlow had broken out of jail just to kill Tony for a mistake that Gibbs made. Gibbs was so mad that he slammed his hand on the table and started to just curse everything before he could even remotely calm down enough to form complete sentences.
"Tony, I WILL NOT let that bastard get close enough to you to even take a picture let alone hurt you in any way. I'm going to catch him again and this time I will make sure that there is no way in hell that he can get out of prison. He won't hurt you, do you understand me? We are putting you into a safe house until we catch him and I don't care what you want to do," Gibbs said with his sternest voice.
Shacking his head sadly he said, "Boss, it won't do any good and we both know that, so why even try? The best thing we can do right now is to work this case like normal and make sure that the others don't find out about this. I'll stay at the safe house just to be safe in case he has already broken into my apartment, but I refuse to stop working this case because we both know that in order to find him we have to work together. You got it?"
"You better know that if you even get a scratch I won't forgive you. If you want to work this case than you have to play it very safe and you are not to put your life in any unnecessary danger, you got me?" Gibbs said.
"Deal. Now let's go tell the team that we have a case to work and get started. He's already got a few days head start, but at least we know that he is in the city so that should help us out immensely and if we know that he's going after me than we can set a trap for him. I'd never thought that I would say this, but let's use me as bait to draw him out and let his guard down. Don't worry I won't be in danger since I have you, Ziva, McGee, Abbs, and Ducky to help me stay safe," Tony said as he came up with a plan to draw out Jame Worlow.
So I know it wasn't that long of a chapter, but the next chapter will be twice as long because I have plenty of ideas already written down and I already have some of the chapter written and almost ready to upload. Don't worry though if you wan't me to put your ideas in just leave a comment telling me what you want to happen next and parts of it will be incorporated into the next chapter. I also plan on adding in reviews that are encouraging and helpful in the beginning of the next chapter so keep that in mind. Flames are not appreciated, will not be read, and will not be taken into account. If you have constructive criticism then I will gladly accept it as long as it is put in a polite format. Thanks to all of my fans, I appreciate every single one of you. Have a good night.
