Tony ended the video conference; and gave one last curious look at his shipmates before heading to his quarters. Crime was at an all time low on the Sea Hawk; and the last investigation he had was a suspected Ipod theft ring. He really needed to come home. He had actually started to make 'friends' on the Reagan before he was transferred. Some kind of life this was.
He reached for a new postcard and started to doodle a new picture for Abby when a wry smile fell across his face. Gibbs really did miss him. He had to wonder after not so much as a hug when he left; whether his mentor really cared. Sure, deep inside he knew he did; but out in the deep blue sea with nothing to think about but home; his mind wondered about a lot of things. As he continued to write; something happened for the first time in 126 days. He was at ease. He'd be going home soon; and this time for good. Gibbs had said he was working on it; and although he could never count on his real Father to come through; this was different. Gibbs was different. He leaned back on his cot and played the conversation over and over again in his head and as he drifted off to sleep...a soft mumble coming from his lips…
"Miss you too Dad…"
