Sorry for the wait. Sorry again for the fact that even though many you have asked for this to happen Gibbs won't be shooting Coal in this chapter, though there may be quite a few head slaps. Thanks for all the reviews, they have been very helpful. Hope you guys like the chapter. Please Review!
Disclaimer: I looked in the closet this time, but still I don't own NCIS.
Chapter Four
"I want everything there is to find on Antonio DiNido." Gibbs stormed into the bullpen, his mind working a million miles a minute as thought about the man he had seen casually leaning against a building. Gibbs had seen a murderer, wait, the murderer of one of his cases and his gut hadn't given off its usually warning, but now that they knew the identity of the murderer his gut giving off all sorts of signals.
Before he had even sat down at his desk he could hear the tapping of fingers on keyboards.
"Any day now!" Gibbs looked over at Coal who made eye contact for about a second before frantically carrying on his background search.
"Antonio DiNido, 32 years old, allegedly works as a second in command for major drugs smuggler Tommy Fitzo. No known family, mother and father deceased, only child." Vivian was first up, sprouting out the information she had gathered to her boss.
Gibbs nodded, he had heard of Tommy Fitzo, known for his ruthless take no prisoners approach to his 'job'. He looked at expectantly at his agents waiting for more information.
"Ah boss? Someone's blocking us from his file." Coal glanced nervously up boss, half expecting lasers to come out and shot him.
"Who?" Gibbs replied, irritated.
"FBI."
*NCIS*
The personal file of Antonio DiNido had been sent down to cybercrimes to see they could unblock it. The Director had made a call to the FBI. That had been two hours ago and Gibbs was not a patient man. The only thing Director Morrow had let him do was put a bolo out on suspect, other than that Gibbs and his team could do nothing but wait for the FBI to get back to them.
Just as Gibbs was going to drive down to the Hoover Building and demand a briefing, the elevator dinged and out walked a man who Gibbs he many a time butted heads with. Special Agent Tobias Fornell.
"I should have known it was you who was stopping me from doing my job, Tobias." Gibbs glared at the man but inside he was happy he wasn't dealing with some stuttering probie.
"Oh you know me, Jethro; it's just my luck that I get to work with you again." Fornell smirked at the pissed off NCIS agent.
"Conference room now." Growled Gibbs already making his way to the now closed doors of the elevator.
Fornell spun on his heel and followed the other agent.
Once they were both in the elevator and the doors were closed Gibbs hit the emergency stop switch. The lights dimmed and the elevator shuddered to a stop. Gibbs turned towards the FBI agent.
"What do you mean work with me again. All you have to do is unblock this bastard's file and then leave this agency in the dust." Gibbs looked at the man he would just call a friend. Just.
"I'm afraid it's slightly more complicated than that." Fornell looked into Gibbs' glare, he was one of the only people who could hold one of his glares and return them. Gibbs stayed silent but gestured with his hand to continue with his insight into the case and his suspect.
"Antonio DiNido's real name is Anthony DiNozzo. He is an undercover detective on lone to us by the Baltimore police."
Gibbs' expression gave nothing away but inside his head new questions were popping into his head, a lot more then Fornell had just answered.
"Why is his undercover file blocked?"
"Because Tommy Fitzo knows he's under investigation and if one of his closest men's files not being touched is going to set off alarm bells."
"I saw him this morning in Baltimore." Gibbs said
"Because he had a check in, giving us more dirt on his targets. Why's NCIS investigating?"
"Cause your fancy undercover detective shot a petty officer last night killing him. Fingerprint at the crime scene." Gibbs looked at Fornell's expression change from neutral to confusion.
"What? That can't be right. He must have just come into accidental contact with the gun. The kid wouldn't have murdered anyone." Fornell was scrabbling for explanations.
"The fingerprint was on the bullet casing." Gibbs once again waited for the other agent's reaction. "I want to talk to him."
"You mean interrogate him." Fornell eyed Gibbs who in return shrugged. "If you want to interrogate him you will have to arrest him, I can't risk his cover being blown or he's dead, DiNozzo's got enough to put everyone away but Tommy. The kid's a damn fine investigator."
"An arrest can be arranged." Gibbs smirked as he flicked the emergency stop switch.
*NCIS*
This had been a hard case on Tony. He had gotten more information on Tommy Fitzo's gang than any other agency or police department in the years since they had surfaced, but he was tired, he wanted nothing more than to collapse into his own bed and sleep for a week. When the FBI had first approached him with the idea of going undercover they had promised nothing longer than a few weeks. A few weeks turned into a month and then a month had turned into two. This was a reason why he vowed never to work for a federal agency ever again, they just spun lie after lie. Here he was three months undercover sitting next to the big cheese himself in one DC's most expensive bars sipping whisky. He had to admit the life wasn't so bad but he couldn't wait until he could clip his badge to belt along with his sidearm, it felt more natural than having it behind his back where no one could see it.
"Good whisky, huh Antonio?" Tommy smiled a crooked grin at his most trusted man.
"Oh yeah," Tony said, swirling his drink, "the best."
Before his 'boss' could reply, two men and a woman came up to his table that just screamed cops. From their brisk stature to their emotionless expressions. Of course there was also the fact that they had badges and guns, that fact kind of made it obvious.
"Antonio DiNido?" said the man in the front with the salt and pepper hair.
"Yes. Can I help you?" Tony gave the agents one of his famous smiles.
"Special Agent Gibbs, NCIS. Can you come with us please, we just have a few questions?"
Tommy glanced at Tony before standing up and putting himself between the cops and his second in command. "He's not going anywhere until you tell us what this for."
Tony stood up "It's ok. I'll go," Tony knew that this just Fornell trying to sort out a meeting. Hopefully. "Don't worry Tommy I'll be back in no time."
"I don't think so dirt bag." Said the other male agent. This comment earned a swift head slap to the back of the head by agent Gibbs.
Hope you liked the chapter. Finally got some Tony in the story. Please Review. I'll update soon.
