"My car should be towed back to the house sometime today," Jethro said to Marie.
"I was thinking that maybe I should have Tony wash her, inside and out for me as part of his punishment, what do you think?" "I think thats a great idea Jethro, if there is one thing I have learned about Tony, it is to keep his idle hands busy."
Marie continued, "Do you know how much the impound and towing fees are yet? I need to figure out how many hours Tony will need to work at the restaurant to pay you back."
Jethro said, "The total will be just a little over $300.00 and that includes the impound and towing."
Marie thought for a moment and then said, "If I have him work five hours a day for 6 days that should cover the fine." Jethro looked over to Marie, "He should be able to handle that."
Marie nodded and said, "Jethro I was hoping that you and Tony would still do some of the things you two talked about before he took your car without permission, I think he was very excited about going to the NCIS shooting range and taking the tour at the Navy Yard."
Jethro smiled at Marie, "Already have us booked on the range at noon tomorrow and I need to check with Michael and Frank and see when they are available to take the tour."
They arrived at the restaurant and made their way inside and saw the family sitting at several tables that were pushed together. Marie went around the table planting kisses on the top of heads and realized Tony was not there.
"Where is your brother?" She asked to no one imparticular. Frank smiled and pointed to the entry way that leads to the kitchen. Marie looked over and saw Tony leaning against the wall chatting with several of the young waitresses. She sighed and said, "Great, he's going to be distracting all of my female staff if he works here."
She walked over to Tony and said, "The girls have customers to take care of." The young waitresses quickly went back to their jobs and Marie stopped Tony as he started to head back to the table. "Your going to be working here for five hour shifts for 6 days. During that time you are not to distract these girls from their work, is that understood?"
Tony smiled at his mom, "Yeah, sure mom no problem." Marie had learned over the years that what Tony says is often not what Tony does and she knew she would have to keep an eye on him at work.
The restaurant was very busy as it was every morning so Marie had scheduled extra help to allow the family the day off. They were enjoying being waited on for a change. It took two waitresses to wait on the large group and everyone noticed that Tony received exceptional service from both of the girls assigned to the family table. Frank was getting a little annoyed as he sat starring at his empty juice glass while the girls seemed to fight over who was going to bring Tony his next refill. Tony just smiled at Frank while he picked up his fresh glass of juice and took a big sip.
After breakfast was finished the family departed on their separate ways to enjoy a much needed day off, Jethro Marie and Tony headed home together and when they arrived they saw that Jethro's car had already been delivered and was parked in front of the house.
Jethro walked around his beloved car and checked her out making sure that Tony had not caused any damage. Once satisfied he walked back inside the house and saw Tony sprawled out on the couch reading his latest issue of GSM magazine. Jethro smacked his feet from the arm of the couch and said, "Feet off the furniture."
Tony grunted and said, "What are you my mother now?"
Jethro only grinned and said, "I have a job for you to do."
Tony continued reading his magazine and not looking up said, "Sorry, I'm a little busy here."
Jethro reached over and grabbed the magazine from Tony's hands and softly said, "Let me rephrase that." Then he yelled, "Get your ass off the couch and meet me out in the garage, now!"
Tony pressed himself down into the couch cushions as far as he could trying to put as much distance between him and the angry Marine. He slowly got up and headed to the garage trying to think of what he might have done to be in trouble this early in the day.
Jethro had pulled the Charger back to it's proper place on side of the garage and was waiting for Tony to join him. Tony looked down at Jethro's feet and saw the empty buckets and sponges.
"What, you want me to help you wash your car or something?" Tony asked.
"Nope, your going to wash the car inside and out and I want it done right." Gibb's continued, "I don't want to know what you were doing in my car so any evidence better be gone by the time I get back." Gibbs then reached into the back seat of his car and pulled out an opened box of condoms. Glarring at the young man, he tossed them at Tony who caught the box like he would a football.
Tony blushed and with a slight grin on his face looked at Gibbs, "I guess you didn't read the police report then?"
Gibbs just turned and walked back to the house, he made sure Tony would not be able to see the grin on his own face.
Tony looked at the buckets and then at the car, it was already getting hot out so he decided to go upstairs and put on a pair of shorts and grab his IPOD. A few minutes later he was back in skater shorts and not wearing a shirt. He put his IPOD in his pocket and pulled up one of his favorite playlists and got to work on the car.
He filled the buckets with soapy water and began with the exterior of the car. He danced to his music as he washed, rinsed and dried the car until it sparkled. Then he made his way to the inside of the car and immediately remembered his night with Tiffany. He laughed out loud as he thought about how hot the sex had been in the car that night. He really should try and call her and make sure she's okay after the ordeal at the police station. He thought that maybe his mom would give him his cell phone back just so he could check on her, he made a mental note to ask his mother when he was finished.
Tony was just finishing up when he saw Gibbs standing next to the car. "Not bad DiNozzo, not bad at all," Gibbs said as he admired Tony's work.
Tony looked back at Gibbs and said, "Thanks, can I go now?"
Gibbs nodded yes and Tony began to walk away but he stopped. Without turning around to face Gibbs he said, "I really like your car and I am sorry I took her without asking."
Gibbs looked at Tony's retreating back and said, "I know you are and as far as I am concerned the matter is closed."
Tony turned to look at Gibbs, he smiled and said "Cool!" and continued on into the house.
The rest of the day was long and boring for Tony, he wandered around the house and the yard trying to entertain himself. He missed his cell phone, computer and t.v. His mom did allow him to call Tiffany and make sure she was okay but made sure he kept the conversation short and when he was done she held her hand out waiting for her son to return his phone to her.
It was now almost evening and Tony sat in the living room waiting for his mom to put dinner on the table. Jethro sat in his chair reading the newspaper and he looked over to Tony when he heard the young man sigh. Jethro looked over the top of his paper and saw how miserable a bored Tony could be. He heard another louder sigh and realized Tony wanted his attention. He folded his paper on his lap and asked, "Something on your mind?"
Tony just sighed again and said, "There's nothing to do around here. I don't think I'm gonna make it the next few weeks not being able to go anywhere or do anything."
Gibbs looked at the young man and almost felt sorry for him. Tony continued, "Can't you just put the t.v. on, we can even watch something boring that you would like?"
Gibbs answered, "I Don't watch television."
Tony looked at him like he was crazy. "What do you mean you don't watch television? Everyone watches television."
Gibbs just gave Tony one of his famous glares then said, "Not me."
Tony then asked with a big smile on his face, "So what do you do besides get remarried every few years?" Tony saw the glare on Gibbs face intensify. "I'm joking Gibbs, it was a joke, man don't you have a sense of humor?"
Gibbs answered, "Yeah I have a sense of humor when someone says something funny."
Tony continued to smile at Gibbs and said, "Well my humor is not for everyone at least that's what I've been told."
Marie called the guys to the dinner table and they sat down to a roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes, corn and dinner rolls. Tony just loved his mom's cooking. As the three sat and enjoyed the meal Tony suddenly stopped and asked, "Hey why aren't you two on a honeymoon or something?" He looked across the table to Gibbs and said in a serious tone, "I guess the fifth time around it must be hard to plan that special little getaway." Tony grinned as he took his next bite of mashed potatoes.
Marie looked at her son in shock and could not believe he had just said that. "Anthony, that is not funny," she said as she saw her son trying to hold back his laughter.
Gibbs raised his hand to Marie to stop her, "It's okay Marie it's not the first joke he has made about the subject and I have a feeling there are plenty more where that came from."
Marie looked between the two and noticed Jethro did not seem upset at being the target of Tony's jokes so she let it go. Marie then told Tony, "Jethro and I put off our honeymoon until you go back to school, I know I won't see you again until Fall and I wanted to be with you while your on your Summer break." She then added, "Although, sometimes I don't know why." Tony starred open mouthed at his mother. "Ouch mom that really hurt."
Marie smiled at her son, "What, you don't think I have a sense of humor too?"
Tony and Jethro both laughed while Marie smiled at her two men.
After dinner Jethro asked Tony if he wanted to go to the NCIS firing range in the morning and Tony of course said yes. He really wanted to learn how to shoot and went to bed excited that night. Before he fell asleep he layed in bed wondering what it would be like to be a Special Agent like Gibbs was. He could see himself dressed in a designer suit and carrying a gun chasing down criminals and having beautiful women hanging off of both arms. "Yeah just like James Bond," he said aloud before drifting off to sleep.
