Tony:
Instantly on his feet, Tony looks at his boss. Watching anxiously as he hears him answer the phone "Gibbs"; his right hand clenches into a fist as green eyes lock with blue.
He sees Jethro's face turn ashen as those blue eyes turn to steel. Tony pulls his weapon from its holster sat on his hip. Checking the clip he slams it back into the chamber. Narrowing his eyes as he sees Jethro take his phone apart and snap it in half, he already knows before he even hears the words come out of his boss' mouth "..It's time to build the railroad"
His blood going cold, he takes 2 steps in front of Gibbs and in a tortured voice he whispers "Chloe..?"
"Alive.." Gibbs' hand reaches out and grips Tony by the neck. Pulling the man to his chest he whispers "It's time..."
Pulling back, Tony shakes off the lingering remnants of the mask he's had in place. Determinedly he strides over to the corner of the basement. Grabbing a crowbar he goes to work prying off the top of the water tank. He can hear Gibbs behind him rustling through his workbench just as the top comes off. Tony reaches in and pulls out a large plastic bag. He turns and tosses it to Gibbs as he moves to the storage area beneath the steps. Pulling out two black gym bags, he kicks one over and drops one at his feet and starts to rustle through it. Kicking off his shoes, he pulls off his jacket and tie. Looking over he sees Gibbs mirroring him by stripping out of his clothes as well. He pulls a black sweater over his head and then a pair of black cargos up his legs. Sitting down, he watches as the older man ties his boots at the same time he strings up his.
Back on his feet he catches the plastic bag Gibbs throws back at him. Dumping it onto the work bench, he packs the new wallet into his pants. Grabbing up one of the disposable cell phones, he powers it up. Picking his own up from the bench, he dials a number by memory. He shoves the remainder of the items from the bag into his pockets as he waits for the answer.
"Spencer" a voice heavy with sleep answers.
Taking a deep breath, Tony rests his hand on the work bench. "Eliot.."
"Tony? Is that you? Where ar.."
"Railroad.." Tony turns and throws the phone against the concrete wall. The phone hits hard and shatters into pieces. Looking up he says "Let's go".
