Not mine never will be but I wish it was, as do we all.
Tony had been on the phone for an hour straight. One call after another, both Bishop and McGee kept looking over at him wondering what he was doing. When he finally stands up he goes to Ellie first.
"Go home and pack a bag, there is an agent waiting to bring you to your house then to NSA you're going to be staying there for a while until this blows over. It's an order Bishop."
When she starts to say something Tony cuts her off before she got her first word out. "Ducky is going to L.A. a medical conference of sorts. Abby, Jimmy and Brenna are going to New Orleans for an other conference."
"You're splitting us up. Aren't you?" Ellie asks.
"I'm protecting my team and family. Please do what I'm asking you to."
"Yes sir."
"Good. I'll see you soon, and Bishop, stay out of it, understand?" She nods her head then grabs her things before she heads out.
He waits until she is gone before he turns to McGee. "I need you to do something, Tim"
After listening to Tony. Tim shakes his head no. "Can't do it Tony." Is the reply that Tony knew he was going to get.
"Just do it McGee." Tony orders.
"I'm not sure about his Tony."
"I'm not asking you Tim, I'm ordering you. Don't ask me why, just do it and do it now. If anyone asks tell them I ordered you to do it or I would charge you with insubordination." Tony tells him as he gets closer getting into his personal space.
"You wouldn't Tony, would you?" Tim asks as his voice goes up an octave.
"No, Tim I wouldn't but no one else has to know that. Look you're the future of this agency not me. We both know this, we also know that Gibbs is going to go lone wolf on us again. I can't stop him, but at least slow him down, but not you. You stay out of it that way you have no knowledge of what is going on."
"What if you need something found something that . .."
"I already have someone lined up to help Tim. Someone who is incredibly gifted, no worries there and the less you know the better off you are. Now do your thing put all of the stuff we have about Sergei Mishnev including that virus on the laptop."
Tim nods his head then opens the box that contains a brand new laptop. He looks at his friend. "What about registering the laptop? Never mind, forget I asked. I'll use Eli David it's all his fault we are in this mess to begin with the bastard should have kept it in his pants."
"Now you're learning. You know you don't look well you should go home to your mother, you look like you're coming down with the flu. Make sure you pack extra ammo with you when you go. Take your sister too, I'm sure she would like to spend sometime with just the three of you.
It doesn't take Tim long to do what is needed. He closes the laptop and hands it back.
"What about you? Where are you going?"
"Not my first rodeo McGee, the less you know the better. Call your sister, call your mother and go, be careful Tim. I like having my little brother around to tease."
Tony grabs his weapon and then slips an extra box of ammo into his backpack before he heads out. Leaving Tim to silently watch him leave with a determination that can only mean trouble.
"Agent McGee." Vance calls out.
"Sir?" Tim replies,
"Make sure you don't come back until your flu has run it's course."
Tim is completely shocked as Vance continues walking without saying another word. Son of a bitch, Vance knows, he knows what Tony is up too and he is not going to stop him.
Tony stops by the security are to check in before enters the FBI building. He goes straight to Fornell's office having been there a few times before.
"I came to invite you to dinner at Gibbs' house. Lasagna, salad, bread sticks and chicken Parmesan, I'm buying. We have to pick up two friends of ours from the BAU."
"Who?" Fornell asks.
"Morgan and his beautiful wife. I already called them and asked if they could help us on the sly, him for his profiling skills and her because she can do things with a computer that are illegal and not get caught."
"When?"
"Now of course by the time we get at Gibbs' house the food will be arriving too. I love Giovanni's food and Maria promised to add a dessert because Penelope is coming."
Twenty minutes later Tony opens the door to Gibbs' house and lets Penelope go in first, to be followed by Morgan then Fornell.
Tony walks up to Gibbs and can see the anger in his eyes. " Not this time, you are not going off half cocked a acting like a lone wolf. I brought you the best, one profiler, and one of the most dangerous hackers in the world , and our friend Fornell. We eat make a plan, then get this bastard. We are going to circle our wagons, any objections?"
Gibbs blinks once he know that Tony has once again come to cover his six.
"What are we eating?" He asks then takes along sip of his cup.
