Tony and Gibbs stood up at the same time.
"What's wrong McGee" Gibbs asked. McGee said that a man was here to see Tony and the man had made it seem really important to see Tony.
"What does he look like McGee" Tony asked looking grave.
"He's about 6 foot and looks a bit like you; He's about 50 odd though"
"Boss, tell him I'm not here, I will explain everything, I'm going to go hide in Abby's Lab" Tony Told Gibbs.
"I'll speak to you later, don't leave Abby's lab until I come down and see you". Gibbs was slightly annoyed at being used as a messenger.
Gibbs walked back up the stairs and back into the bullpen, He walked up to the man stood near DiNozzo's desk. The man looked a lot like Tony; He was broad and was wearing an expensive suit, and Italian shoes, he could have been Tony's double if it wasn't for the grey hair and wrinkles.
"Special Agent Gibbs" Gibbs introduced himself and held out his hand.
"Anthony DiNozzo Snr, Tony's father" The man told Gibbs.
"I'm here to see my son, I need to speak to him about the family business, is he here"
"He isn't here, I'll tell him you stopped by" Gibbs informed the man, he knew he needed to talk to Tony.
Tony's father left and Gibbs made his way down to Abby's lab.
"Tony, what's the family business" Gibbs needed to know.
"My father has had his own business for over 30 years; he took over the business from a friend of my grandfathers who didn't have any children of his own"
"Why does he need to talk to you about it?"
"The business is not totally legitimate, he wants to try and get me back into the business, I'm not like him I'm not going to turn into his protégé" Tony was slowly unravelling the truth.
"What do you mean not totally legitimate?" Gibbs needed to know, he needed to make sure Tony wasn't going to be arrested for something he hadn't done, again.
"He travels around getting import and export contracts, he then sells them to companies who need them, and he makes a lot of money on them when he sells, the contracts are for a lot of different god, some legitimate some aren't" Tony needed to get it out, he needed to make sure Gibbs understood he had nothing to do with it.
Tony continued to explain about the business "my father took me on expensive holidays as a child, and when my mother died he did everything he could to replace her, he has been married more times than you Gibbs, But when he realised I didn't want to be a part of his business, He cut me off and disowned me".
Gibbs was happy with Tony's explanation.
