Tony POV
I know that this is unfair of me to do to the team, but the way that I have been treated by them means that I can no longer work with them. I dare not write a letter nor hand anything in to show them that there is anything out of the ordinary. I don't want to be found by them or anyone that I helped put away. I dare not leave any traces that I left or why. I know that they will look but I hope that my plan will work.
Getting up from my desk I open up the draw and place my badge and gun in there along with my cell. It will look as if I had unintentionally left my stuff here. Yes I know that I am breaking one of Gibb's rules about never be unreachable, but to me protecting them is more important than anything I can think of.
I go down to Abbey's lab to see if she is still there and she was sound asleep. I go up to her and place a light kiss upon her forehead not wanting to wake her up from her dreams.
I left the building before the hour hit 0300 leaving my car behind and walked home. I knew that there would be questions about why I did something that stupid but truth be told I was tired of driving and all I wanted to do was have a nice walk home to clear my head.
Ziva POV
I went for my early morning jog like I always do before I had to go into work with the team. I know that today I will have to deal with Tony's flirtations and McGee trying his best not to get on Gibbs bad side. Gibbs head slapping Tony for not doing his job. I finished by jog early and drove into work I saw that Tony's car was here and did not think anything of it, just that he was trying to get some work done before everyone showed up.
Entering the bull pen I noticed that it was empty of life which was weird when Tony's car was in the parking lot. Although he might have gone to the bathroom before I arrived.
An hour later McGee and Gibbs showed up and a sleepy Abbey came up as well.
The bull pen was starting to buzz with life but still no sign of Tony at all.
Gibbs POV
I saw that Ziva was busy working on some cold cases and that there was a pile of folders on my desk. I knew that it was Tony who did all that for me, so I sat down and started to look them over and noticed that there were a few spelling mistakes. I looked up and noticed for the first time that Ziva, McGee was here but there was no usual banter going on between my agents.
"David, McGee where is Tony?" I asked.
"His car is here when I came in today and when I entered the pen I thought that maybe he was in the bathroom. That was an hour ago." David answered me.
"Boss I have not seen Tony since yesterday."
"Call his cell phone and if you can not reach him on his cell phone then call his house phone."
"Yes boss."
We all heard a phone ringing from Tony's desk and I went over to see what it was, opening up the desk I saw that it was Tony's phone.
"Damn it Tony I always say never be unreachable." I screamed out loud.
"Gibbs I am not getting an answer on his house phone." Ziva said.
"David, McGee go to his home and see if he is there."
"Yes Boss."
Abby's POV
I woke up and noticed that the lab door was opened which was strange seeing how I normally keep it close if I fall asleep or when I leave the building. My first thought was that Gibbs came down stairs to see if I was in. I really don't know who it was that came downstairs to open my door.
I went upstairs to see if Gibbs was the one that opened my door when I noticed that he was pissed off at Tony my first thought was that Tony did something really stupid and was hiding from Gibbs which would not save him at least. Gibbs is like a bloodhound that once he has the scent of something he will never let go.
"Gibbs when I woke up this morning I saw that my lab door was opened and I know that I had it close when I fell asleep from the case yesterday. I was wondering if you were the one that opened my door."
"No Abbey it was not me and I just sent David and McGee to go and retrieve Tony."
"Tony is not here yet but his stuff is here."
"I know that Abby."
I know that tone of voice from Gibbs, Tony I hope that you have a very good reason about why you are not here.
