Chapter 9- Meeting Again:

"Grab your gear and then go home get suitcases ready," said my dad as he walked into the bullpen.

"Where are we going, boss?" McGee asked.

"There's a dead Petty Officer in Fallston, Maryland."

"Fallston? That is where Tony went, is it not?" Asked Ziva.

"Yes it is, now let me finish. The body is in the wooded area behind my sister's house. The police have already cleared everyone in the immediate area, including Tony's because he was working on a homicide along with the FBI in Baltimore."

Everyone looked at me because I had a frightened/anxious/sad look on my face. "I'll be OK. As long as I ignore him," I said.

"By the way,don't worry about where to stay because Kaye said we can stay at her house," said my dad, walking towards the elevator.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Hello, you must be Agent Gibbs," said Head Detective Robert Gregory of the Fallston Police. "Tony has told us much about you and your team at NCIS."

"Yeah, I'm sure he has," said my dad, glancing at me while I was talking to my cousin, Justin.

"So Justin, how've you been?" asked Tyler, as he came over from talking to Tony.

"Good, how about you?"

"Fine, but can I talk to you alone for a sec?"

"Sure." Then they walked over to stand to by a tree away from everyone else.

"Okay," said my brother, "Don't talk about Tony, or the fight that happened before he left around Ariana because it may make her mad, sad, or just plain old weird.

"Got it, but has she been acting weirder?" Asked Justin, with a weird confused look on his face.

"Actually, she has. At first she was all quiet, and now she laughs like she used to. But you can tell that it's not real because it's not her same laugh or same smile that she used to have when Tony was around."

"Oh, Okay. Let's go back over. I wanna see Ariana's if she or Tony tries to talk to each other. I heard Tony talking earlier to Detective Gregory that he was going to try to," said Justin. So they both walked back over to the crime scene laughing and smiling while I had an annoyed look on my face while Tony talked to my dad about his life here.
