NCIS doesn't belong to me or anyone I know, I'm not making money or anything off of this. I'm just dreaming.

Tobias Fornell stood in front of the director and Gibbs.

"Gibbs, my office, now." Jenny ordered.

"One sec," Gibbs whispered to Fornell.

Once in The Director's Office she stared at Gibbs. She wondered, out off all the people in the world, why Gibbs would call Fornell. She would admit that he was a pretty good agent, but Gibbs and Fornell didn't seem to have the best relationship.

"Jen," Gibbs started, "I know what you're thinking, and before we start let me explain. Fornell may not always be on my good side," Jenny rolled her eyes, "but he is a really good agent. I know that we will find Tony, but I think that with his help it will go faster. And I can't waste anymore time." He finished his little speech and let.

Jenny sat there, wondering if things really would go faster, she knew DiNozzo wasn't there, so no bickering between Ziva, McGee, and him, but Gibbs may start a fight with Fornell.

"Well, better him than me," she muttered to herself.

"So, Gibbs, do you want to tell me why I'm here instead at my comfy office?" Fornell asked, still in the dark.

"DiNozzo's missing." He stated.

Fornell just stood there, waiting for a punch line or something. But inside he knew that Gibbs wasn't joking.

"Are you for real?" he finally asked.

"As real as you are." Gibbs replied.

"I'll do anything I can to help, everyone knows that that kid annoys everyone to death, but, I'll even admit it, he's a good agent." Fornell stated.

"Thanks Tobias." Gibbs said with a sad smile.

XOXOXOXO

Back in the bullpen, Ziva and McGee were staring, and wondering, what Fornell was doing here. Of all the times for him to bug them, this wasn't a good one

"What do you think that he's doing here, Ziva?" McGee asked.

"Do you think that that was who Gibbs called?" she wondered.

"It's possible." He stated.

"You two," Gibbs started, surprising both of them, "why are you gossiping instead of trying to find DiNozzo?"

"Well, Ziva started, "we were kind of wonder what Fornell was doing here." She said, having a moment of bravery against her boss.

"He's going to help us, and before you start try to change my mind, don't." he added the last part as a warning. Even Ziva wouldn't mess with it.

"You guys talking about me?" Fornell asked.

"Well, these two were doing some gossiping about you." Gibbs told him. "Now, let's get back to work."

XOXOXOX

Tony just sat there, thinking, about life, enemies, friends, collages, his team, his childhood, and wondering if they would make it in time. It had been a while since the last contact he had had with "Mickey", in which Mickey had untied him for that very uncomfortable chair.

He thought that whoever this dude was, he wasn't a pro, but he knew him somehow, and was almost 100% sure that he was someone he had put away.

In the dark, cramped room, that the only friends he had were flies and mice, he tried to think of where he could be. Was it a cabin? No, he decided, no crickets or trees that he could see from the little window in the wall. Maybe some one's house. Or maybe a plant. Or maybe an abandoned where house.

He finally decided that he was about to go insane. Tony knew that he needed human contact, and there hadn't been any. He finally did the only thing he could, sleep.
