Ok so here is another chapter as was requested for by a lot of reviews I got, thank you so much! As for any slash or paring that will or will not be in this story, isn't that the whole point of reading the story to begin with, finding out through the story. Think about it from my point of view, for example if I went right out and told you slash at the the beginning or paring at the beginning then that would give away the climax, there would be no climax or surprise ending or love build up through reading because you would all already know before you even started reading the story. I am just giving you my perspective on that subject.
Happy reading, I hope you enjoy this next chapter.
Tony made his way through security the back of his neck was itching as per usual these last two weeks. He gripped the strap of his back pack tighter up onto his shoulder and walked toward the elevator, he punched the number of the floor he needed. Right before the elevator door closed however another man jumped on, quickly hitting the button for the second floor. The silence in the box about killed him but he really had way to much flying through his head at the moment to be talking randomly to people he didn't know. Which then it just occurred to Tony, he didn't know this man, at all, and he knew pretty much everyone who worked or works at NCIS. The elevator came to a stop and let the man off, Tony watched him go almost stunned for a moment.
The elevator then came to the floor he wanted, he quickly made his way to his desk and grabbed a few things and went to the back elevator. Pressing the right button he waited and soon the elevator opened to loud music being played. Tony smiled and made his way to Abby's lab.
"Hey Abbs!" Tony hollered over the music. Abby turned around and smiled, she lowered her music volume and came over to Tony giving him a hug.
"Hey, mister." Abby said with a smile. "What can I do for this morning? Do we have a case?" Abby asked.
"Sort of well it's not really an official NCIS case." Tony said rubbing the back of his neck; Abby gave him a questioning look so Tony took his back pack off and took out a phot with a red rose.
"I thought you gave Metro those when they went to your apartment?" Abby asked Tony had also called Abby the very next day after getting some sleep. She had come over to Gibbs place to see if he was alright.
"I did these are different ones, new ones." Tony said.
"Did you tell the detective in charge of you case?" She asked him.
"No and I haven't told Gibbs yet either, and I hope you'll respect my wishes and tell him about these either. I just need you to run forensics on them for me." Tony said looking at her seriously. Abby gave him a look, he knew that she did not like keeping secrets from Gibbs but he also knew she was the best at her job. After a minute of a stare down Abby sighed.
"Alright, but don't ever say I haven't ever down anything for you. Oh and you own me like a lot of CafPow's mister!" Abby added, Tony smiled and nodded.
"Of course." He said and produced said drink from the side holder of the back pack that wasn't in Abby's view. She narrowed her eyes at him and pointed a finger.
"Sneaky, almost as sneaky as Gibbs, not quite, but almost."
The day went by pretty normally and Tony had made sure he had all his work done before he shut down his computer and headed out, after of course Gibbs had given the go head. He headed to the back elevator and made his way back to Abby's lab.
"Hey Abbs what do you got?" Tony said coming into the lab with favorite beverage held in front of him. She turned saw the drink and smiled.
"Ok so I ran everything, the rose is a slandered, bought and sold at your local Walmart." She said then she pointed at the photo.
"The photo is as you know of you while you're sleeping, it seems though that it was taken at your apartment so an old photo not to old just not too resent. I tried for prints sorry but whoever took this were really good no prints. I did however get that whoever took this photo is about 5' 10'', also whoever took it may have been good but not that good and never better than me. There may not have been no prints but because you are such a good bagger and tagger I know that no other substance got on the evidence and you tagged exactly where you found it so the white-ish dust I found on the back of the photo had to have come from our mystery stalker. I tested it turns out its flour, like the stuff you use in cooking." Tony felt relief but also disappointed the at least were a lot more ahead on figuring this out, but nowhere near close enough.
"Thanks Abbs, you're the best!" He said kissing the side of her check.
"I know." She said with a smile. "Oh hey me, Ziva and McGee are going to this new club, did you want to come?" She asked. Tony had heard Ziva and McGee talking about it and they had actually asked him and he told them no, but knowing this new information made him feel a little better so he nodded his head yes. They all decided to pool into on vehicle which happened to be Ziva's 'God help them all'. Soon they made it to the club, Tony followed behind Abby as she weaved her small stature threw the crowd. Well he tried to follow as much as he could with his bulkier frame. Soon they were all at the bar ordering drinks, they sat at the bar for a while, Ziva and Abby went out and danced a little, sometimes Abby got McGee to go out and dance with her. Ziva came back to the bar next to him while they watched Abby dance and McGee try to dance. Ziva laughed as McGee gave up and just started to do the sprinkler. Tony about swallowed his drink down the wrong tube. Shaking his head he turned and looked over at Ziva.
"So what do you think, Zi-Va?" Tony said with a sly smile.
"I think, McGee has had one to many." Ziva said with a smile. Tony laughed and nodded in agreement. Though both timothy and Abby had been drinking actual alcoholic beverages, both he and Ziva had been sticking to non-alcoholic beverages. Soon the music slowed down and some people left the dance floor including Abby and McGee heading back over to them.
"Hey guys, Tony you should dance, that's what clubs are for!" Abby complained.
"Abby I hate to say it but you sound a tad drunk." She hit his arm for that.
"Owe Abbs, not nice." Tony said scrunching up his face and rubbing his arm. He then looked over at Ziva. "Ok I'll dance." He said to Abby then he walked over to Ziva and held his hand out to her. Ziva looked up at him with shock on her face, but then she placed her hand in his. He pulled her out to the dance floor and they started dance together. Tony held Ziva close to him with one arm while the other hand was holding hers. Abby watched on with a dropped jaw, but then she started excitedly jumping and clapping her hands while squealing.
"You know Abby I think Tony was right you might be a little drunk." "Owe Abby!" McGee said rubbing his throbbing should wisely keeping his mouth shut. Soon the song came to an end and the fast songs came back, Abby and McGee headed back out onto the dance floor as Ziva and Tony headed back over to the bar. While sitting and talking at the bar for a few minutes the bartender came over.
"Excuse me sir, I was told to give this to you." He said handing Tony a drink with a napkin folded. Tony stared at the drink but didn't touch it, he opened the napkin though.
'You look sexy when you dance, I Bet I would look better in your arms then that tramp you have holding off your arm.'
"Hey!" Ziva said scandalized, Tony smiled at her as she faked a dramatic outrage at being called a tramp; he knew she was trying to lesson his worry. "I call Gibbs outside." Ziva then said seriously Tony nodded as he grabbed another napkin and picked up the drink keeping the contents in the glass and taking both items outside after Ziva. Once there, he headed over to Ziva's car, knowing what he wanted Ziva already had her keys out of her pocket and popping her trunk. Getting her gear out of the trunk Tony opened the bag and pulled out evidence bags first dumping the drink into one bag and closing it then putting the glass into another. He then put the napkin into another evidence bag, by the time he was done bagging and tagging, Ziva was off the phone with Gibbs.
"Just got done talking with Gibbs he'll be here in five minutes, in the meantime call 911, and go through the channels while I head back in and grab Abby and McGee." Ziva said Tony nodded already taking his phone out of his pocket. He sighed he hoped tonight would have ended differently than it had. Then something occurred to him on what Ziva had said. Gibbs would be there in five minutes, his place was on the way other side of town and it was a Friday, and everyone was trying to get home for the weekend. There was no way Gibbs could get there in five minutes from his place even with his driving.
