"What is it Abby?" Tony said as he threw himself into his chair.
"Is it really true that you and Tanya were in a relationship?"
"Yes Abby that's correct. I met with my old frat brother Raul at a local bar where he introduced me to his fiancée Samantha who was friends with Tanya. Both Raul and Samantha coaxed us into dating since we had so much in common.
"Tony were you really going to have sex with Gibbs here in the office?" Abby asked.
"What…? Uh…no."
Abby raised an eyebrow at Tony. "Quit changing the subject Abby! Was there something important you have for barging into my office?"
"Huh…? Oh yea Tanya wanted to talk to you. She said she found something interesting about Gibbs she wants to talk to you about."
"Um…ok why didn't she just come down here and tell me herself?"
"She was busy. Don't worry about Gibbs Jimmy and McGee will keep an eye on him as well as myself."
Tony nodded as he decided to go see what Tanya has to say about Gibbs. Just what could she have found out in such a short length of time? Unless, it was just a scheme to get him to have sex with her.
Tony shook his head no Tanya wouldn't stoop to that.
Gibbs cocks his head to one side as he investigates the building outside Tony's room. He growls as he hears movement further up the corridor and bares his teeth before quickly stripping and shifting into a silver ferret, scurrying up the wall and into the ventilation shaft.
Tim bites his bottom lip as he spots the dumped clothes. "Shit!"
Jimmy looks up "You found him?"
He shakes his head while holding up the discarded clothes "Tony is going to kill us! We need to find Gibbs and fast!"
Gibbs watches from his hiding place as the two men rush off and smirks as he silently heads off, deciding to investigate this strange new world.
Tony headed down to talk with Tanya about what news she might have on Gibbs. He hoped it wasn't just an excuse to have sex in the office that is something Jeanne would have done. Tanya, she was too professional for that at least Tony thought so as he got closer to Tanya's office he became nervous. Almost as nervous as the time he picked her up on their first real date.
He shook his head to avoid the memory of that awkward night. He knocked cautiously on the door "Come in Tony!" Tanya said. Tony shivered at the way she said his name in the sexy Russian accent of hers.
"You had information on Gibbs Tanya?" Tony asked.
Tanya looked up from her file she took off her reading glasses. "Yes, that island you found this Gibbs at the villagers mentioned a silver predator is that right?" Tanya asked.
Tony nodded slowly.
Tanya let out a sigh. "When I was away I also heard the villagers mention something about a silver predator of course they didn't actually call it that."
Tony blinked a few times at Tanya before speaking again. "But Gibbs isn't the silver predator is he?"
"I can't say for sure, but Tony you've heard of the Chupacabra right?"
"Yes, but that's just a legend a mythical creature in a sense Tanya I deal with facts not make believe."
Tanya rolled her eyes. "There have been several sightings of the chupacabra all over Texas."
"Where are you going with this Tanya?"
"Perhaps this Gibbs as you call him is some type of mythical creature Tony. How else can you explain the fact that he can change into any creature he wants exactly not to mention version of him all over. Feared, worshipped, nobody even knows what its true form is."
"Tanya I think you need to stop believing in fairy tales…"
"Say what you want Tony, but all of Dr. Mallards test came back and it's all scrambled up nothing makes sense."
"Tanya that's the dumbest solution I have ever heard! How do we even know if Gibbs is in fact this silver predator?"
"Is this the way it's going to be Tony us at each other's throats?"
"It's just all farfetched and hard to believe such a story…"
"Well, maybe if we could find a female of its kind you wouldn't have to have a Klingon who wants to get into your pants thus, preventing you of anymore embarrassment."
"That's easier said than done Tanya. How in the hell are we going to manage to find a female of whatever Gibbs is?"
They were both silent for a moment or two. Tony chuckled, "Remember our first official date?"
Tanya smiled. "The week after Sam introduced me to you? Sam kept hounding me to go on that date with you, then that night… you drove up in your corvette…" Tanya said as she started to laugh.
"I had no idea you were still living with your father at the time. I was scared shitless when your father opened that door…."
Tim came rushing into the office "We have a problem." McGee replied holding up Gibbs discarded clothes.
"Chert voz'mi!" Tanya said.
Tanya, Tim, and Tony rushed out of the office splitting up to find Gibbs hopefully he hasn't left the building. Who knows what trouble he could do in the city?
Gibbs smiles to himself and waves his tail as he follows the sunlight but pauses as he gazes at the sight of strangers and flattens his ears.(Tony said I am not to change forms in front of others, nor am I allowed to be naked unless I am sleeping or mating.) He sighs as he quickly scurries along the wall avoiding being squished under the strangers' feet, as he attempts to find some cover.
Minutes later, he ducks behind some bins and shifts into a silver hawk before taking flight. He stretches out his wings as he climbs higher into the sky, squawking in glee as he gazes down at the sight of the strange habitat of Tony's.
Gibbs flies above the habitat below before coming to the harbor. He swoops down catching a fish in his deadly talons before flying back to Tony's nest as he waits for him to finish that boring thing called work.
Tony had looked all over the building for Gibbs but could not find him. Neither McGee, Palmer, Tanya, nor even Abby could find him. Where could he have gone? Could he have gone back to the island? Is it because I refused to have sex with him? This is so unfair! Tony thought to himself.
Tanya glanced over at Tony who looked like he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. "Hey calm down. We'll find him Tony."
Tony's cell went off which startled him. Tony quickly went and answered it.
"Anthony Dinozzo! What was my policy on animals?" The landlady asked.
"Mrs. Crane I have no idea what you're talking about?" Tony replied.
"I told you when you moved into your apartment do not take your work home with you! Only cats, small dogs and fish are allowed."
"Mrs. Crane I don't own a pet nor do I take my work home with me…"
Mrs. Crane continued to complain as Tony spaced out as he thought about Gibbs. That was the only logical explanation. "Mrs. Crane, yes I will take care of it right away…."
"Whatever the thing you brought home with you Tony better not have destroyed that apartment, or I will have you out on the streets so fast…!" she said before hanging up.
Tony let out a sigh. Well at least we know where Gibbs is. He told himself.
Tanya answered her own phone when it rang. "Tanya…" the woman said when she picked up.
"Samantha hi…how are you?" she asked.
"Wonderful, hey my husband Raul and I will be in the city this weekend. How about you and that boyfriend of yours meet up with us?" Samantha suggested.
"Well…I have a lot of work to catch up on and…"
"Nonsense Tanya, now you and Tony can meet us at 8 on Saturday you know the place. I hear there will be karaoke."
Before Tanya could reply Samantha had hung up.
How did that happen? That's just great what am I supposed to say to Tony? Tanya thought to herself.
Tony raced home and hurried to his apartment avoiding Mrs. Crane. He stepped inside nothing seemed out of the ordinary so far.
"Gibbs?" Tony called out.
He walked into the bedroom sure enough there was Gibbs in another makeshift nest of his dirty laundry as well as his clean laundry in a corner of the room. There was also the remains of a dead fish on his carpet floor. Gibbs woke up and nearly knocked the wind out of him as Gibbs latched onto him.
"You have a lot of explaining to do!" Tony said in a stern voice.
Gibbs eyes lowered as he whimpered. Tony's cell rang again.
"Tony…I am kind of in a pickle of a problem." Tanya said.
"What is it Tanya?" Tony asked as he went elsewhere to talk.
"Samantha and Raul will be coming into the city this weekend and wants the four of us to meet up again."
"I don't know Tanya. I mean Gibbs…"
"I know, what's worse is they think we are still together."
"Well why didn't you tell her the truth?"
"She didn't give me a chance."
"Tanya, do you think we talk about this tomorrow?"
"Alright Tony."
This was just great now what was he supposed to do? He certainly can't leave Gibbs alone and he can't take him to the bar.
Tony sighed to himself as he went to go check up on Gibbs.
