~Tony POV/Time Skip~
I bought the phone to my ear not having to glance at the caller id to know it was TC. He was always on time no matter what.
"I'm downstairs checking in I'll be up in a minute to come get you," TC said his voice gruff.
"Alright I'll be waiting and TC promiseme you won't do anything rash that you might regret later"I replied trying to ease the situation that was going to come later.
"Kid it can't be that bad and don't you have more faith in me,"TC said and I could hear the amusement in his voice.
"I have faith in you but this is going to shake you to the core"I snarked back.
"Alright I'm getting my visitors tag and then coming up get your things" TC replied before hanging up the phone.
I put my phone down knowing I was being watched looked up to meet the eyes of Gibbs. I broke eye contact to gather my things before TC came. I was pulling on my jacket when the silver elevator doors slid open to reveal TC. The look of shock and anger overcame his face before he quickly masked it. Stepping out of the elevator he made his way over toward my desk.
"Gibbs it's good to see you again," TC said tightly. If Gibbs heard the undertone venom in the sentence he didn't comment on it. He nodded in TC's direction as a greeting.
"Why are you here Tobias?"Gibbs asked getting right to the point.
I'm here to pick up DiNutso for drinks" TC answered with a smirk in my direction.
"You know I hate it when you call me that five foot"I threw back watching his eyes narrow at me.
"Whatever kid let's go and I'm not short," TC said moving toward the elevator. (I have nothing against short people)
"Ok Dad" I mocked trailing behind him.
"You wish I was your Dad kid" TC replied smirking as we stepped into the elevator.
"You have some serious explaining to do," TC said once the elevator doors closed. I winced when he said this because I could hear how mad he was without having to look at his face.
"Look I'm sorry I didn't know how to tell you. I haven't even told Em that Gibbs is back" I said as TC stopped the elevator. He turned to me with a worried expression
"Are you okay though Tony?"He asked not breaking eye contact with me.
"Yeah TC I'm just tired" I answered sending a reassuring smile to TC.
"Well then I'm dropping you off at Emilio's so you can rest and then tomorrow you will be taking the day off and we will be talking,"TC said with no room for argument and then started the elevator back up.
~Time Skip/Em's House~
We pulled up to Em's house seeing his black Lamborghini Aventador parked out front. When the car shut off I stepped out along with TC.
I was nervous as we walked up to the door and unlocked it. We stepped into the house to see Em walking around the corner toward us in a black button up and black jeans.
"Hey, Tony hey TC what brings you by?"He asked stopping in front of us with a smile.
"I'm dropping the kid off he has something to tell you I'll be back for him tomorrow," TC said stepping back out the door.
"HEY YOU GET BACK HERE YOU FUCKING TRAITOR" I yelled out after TC only to have him wave at me as he peeled out of the driveway.
"Come on Anthony it can't be that bad. We will talk over dinner my treat?"Em asked grabbing a jacket from the closet at my nod. I set my things down on the couch quickly stepping back over to Em. I didn't want to tell him that Gibbs was back because I knew how protective of me he was. But I had to tell him once he found out Gibbs was as good as dead.
"Where do you want to go, Anthony?"He asked as we stepped into the car and started it up with a rough purr. It didn't take me long to choose where I wanted to go.
"Can we go to the Italian bar on 14th Street?"I asked with a smile. my smile grew even wider when he hummed in approval. We peeled out of the long driveway smoothly.
~Time Skip~
We had been sitting in the restaurant for about five minutes now and I was even more on edge than I was at the house. I had to tell him some time and there was no time like the present.
"Um you know how TC said I had something to tell you well um I may not have been truthful with you the other day," I said wincing at the look he gave me. Em had never liked it when I lied about things especially things that hurt me in the end.
"What happened Anthony?"He asked after our food came to the booth we were sitting at. I took a deep breath hoping this wouldn't end too badly.
"GibbscamebacktoNCIS" I let out in one breath as I tried to make myself as small as I could at the confused look he gave me before realization and anger dawned onto his face.
"You mean to tell me that the man who left you in charge of his horrible team is back like nothing ever happened. Let me guess the coglione is already on your ass" Em whisper yelled to me. I shook my head shakily.
"You are not going back there with those people I'm tired Anthony of seeing you hurt" Emilio said leaving no room for arguments.
"What about my job my apartment? I can't just quit and loose everything"I replied with a frown.
"You will do what we were planning and join my team and as for your apartment you can move in with me" Emilio answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I don't want to be a bother Em it's fine" I said with little conviction.
"Have you seen my home it's huge with just me living there you will be no bother quite the opposite if you ask me" He said waving the waitress over to our table to pay for the bill. I looked up when the bar door opened only to see Gibbs, Ziva, and McGee coming through the door.
"We need to leave now Em look at the door"I whisper yelled with panic. When he turned to the door his eyes narrowed and his lips curled up in a silent snarl.
They hadn't seen us yet so Emilio moved his body in front of mine and turned his back towards the door pulling me into his arms hoping they wouldn't see me.
When they passed by our table and didn't see me we stood up and quickly headed for the door keeping myself in front of Emilio larger frame.
When we made it outside the door I heard my name being called and glanced around to see the group headed for the door. We made a beeline straight for the car hoping to get there before they go to us.
We hopped into the car and peeled out of the lot quickly only to have the back of the car shot at. I knew Emilio would be pissed off because well let's face it all together his car costs about 800 grand.
Turning in my seat and saw the NCIS black Mustang following us.
"There following us Em and it's too much traffic to lose them" I pointed out watching as he gripped the steering wheel till his knuckles turned white.
"Well then Bambino we'll lead them right into our lions den" He replied with a smirk when my cheeks flushed at the pet name. He started turning on the long concrete road that led a few miles down towards the house.
When we got to the house Emilio turned the car so that his side was facing the road and mines was facing the house.
"You stay in the the car piccolo" Emilio told me grabbing his gun from under the seat and stepping out of the car. I took of my seatbelt and faced his back as he closed the door and put his gun in the back of his pants just as the NCIS Mustang came speeding down the road.
