Colonel O'Neill is sitting in the cafeteria and staring holes in the air. "What is worrying you Colonel O'Neill?", Teal'c asks. The colonel looks at him, questioningly. " You are frowning. ", Carter adds. O'Neill explains: " Just thinking. The trip to 1969 made me think about something, or someone. I might have had a child around that time." SG1 freezes. Their fourth member questions: "You didn't sleep with someone in '69, did you?"

O'Neill: "What? No. Yes. Not in the time travel. When I was a teenager, before the Stargate programme. There was this British woman; she was a lot older than me. We ate some special cookies and ..." He trails off. Anyway, she later told me that she is pregnant but didn't knew if it is mine or her partners. We were planning to do a blood test after the birth. I was even looking forward to it when two muscles and an rich ponce American-Italian met me and told me that it isn't my child and if it would be, than he would have a better life with them. After that they disappeared. I tried to find them but I didn't have luck."

"Didn't the police help?" "No. I didnt try. Why should they? I was a teenager. They wouldn't have thought that I made it up or that it wasn't my child or the kid would have it better there. I didn't have much to go on: Ameeican-Italian rich ponce without a name, the sort which wants to be rich but can't really pull it off, British woman who gave me a false last name and descriptions. Perhaps it had been her last name before the Italian guy. Paddington. She actually was more like old money. And I was 16 and didn't wanted to bring a young mother into prison. After a while I gave up. Perhaps it even wasn't my child and I was a teenager; I couldn't have given the child much." "You know that you could search for him now, don't you? I doubt that the General would mind if we use the resources in the mountain.", the doctor says. O'Neill blinks and then shakes his head: " I couldn't do that. How would I even find him?" "I could write you a programme. That way we would have a short list which we can work off.", Carter says. And the male doctor adds: " It won't hurt to ask the general about it. "

Half an hour later SG1 are sitting in a room with Carter before an computer.

"What do you definitely know about them?", Carter asks. O'Neill: " She was definitely above 21 and British, and perhaps old money. Blond. Under ... 40, 35 years old. And I met her in 1970." "How do you know that she was British?", the linguist asks. " Accent ", O'Neill answers, " It was upper British class. She must have grown up there. An American going to school there wouldn't have worked like that." "So a British national or British immigrant whose last name could have been Paddington. An old money Paddington born between 1930/1935 - 1949 with a son born in '70 or '71." O'Neill: "Could have been a girl or twins; it was too early to tell. The guy most likely only wanted a son." "That's sad.", his friend says, " Do you know which month you and her ...?" "Autumn" "So she would have given birth in 1971, most likely in the summer. I will search for a birth in 1971± 3 years. If the man tried to manipulate the dates. Let's first assume that she had the child in the States. That's 10.000s women; 8.570 women who were or are British nationals. 7.040 in the right age. None with the last name Paddington. Let me try something else. 7.037 went to school in Britain. Was she an India- Indiaian?" "No. Typical, boring British White.", answers the colonel. " That changes the number to 5.237 inside the states." Teal'c asks: "What is if it is outside the country?" "Then we will have to start our search at the beginning Teal'c. Start with Great Britain; perhaps there are some Paddington there. We don't have access to this sort of information on the Island. I could sort out the single mothers but do we really know that the man was her legal partner? We could try searching for money but that will take days and I don't have access to the British tax papers. I sort this woman into a folder first and then we can try a new search with them as the basis.

So 5.237 women. Assuming that the man said the truth, I erase the single women which leaves 4.972 women. What do you know about the man?" O'Neill: "He was White around 30...35 to 45...47 years old. He perhaps had a New York accent; definitely East coast and American." Carter: "3.857 White men; 2.689 with the age; 3.007 American national. I substrate the one who went to a non East coast schools. ... That's 1.203 women. That's a nicer number."

Teal'c: "1.203 are still many women."

"There are. But it is better that ten thousands of women.", Carter says, " Colonel. You said that he was American-Italian. Why?" O'Neill: "He looked like it. It was more of a feeling. He looked like the guys in the movies. Like a Mafioso without the danger or style or the special something." "So that's a maybe on the Italian.", his friend says. O'Neill: " Erase everyone who was a colonel or higher. I doubt he was a soldier but I can't be secure with it." Carter: "981 women. Should I add the Italian?" "No.", says O'Neill, " We can't narrow it further?" After a moment Carter turns sharply: "What was their heights?" O'Neill thinks and then says: " He was around 1,80 m (5 ft 10 in) — definitely less than 2 m (6 ft 7 in) and more than 1,60 m (5 ft 4 in). She was around the same height — more than ... 1,50 m (5 ft) and less than 1,95 m (6 5 in).

Carter: " That's 969 with the man and 961 if I subtract the ones where we know the heights and it is wrong. If we take the 961 women as a new basis and only take the children born in 1971, than we have 150 women. But that is only if the year is right. If we take the April to September children, we are at 97 women. We can start with them and try the other years afterwards. 43 of them had the child in New York state."

O'Neill: " Let's stat with these 43 women."

Carter: "I will let a programme run a search for a connection to the name 'Paddington'. That will take some hours. If we don't find anything, we can search for Paddingtons in GB. It's our gym time." While they leave the room, the male doctor voices that there is some multibillionaire Oil Paddington in Britain.

****Stargate****NCIS****

After dinner SG1 returns to the computer.

Carter announces: "We have one match." She clicks the result and they look at the display.

Carter starts: "Eileen Florence Phyllis DiNozzo former Paddington. Born 1943 in England. Went to Elite school and a women school. Connected to Clive Paddington who is stinking rich. Grows up rich. She meets Mr. Anthony DiNozzo - self-claimed entrepreneur in 1967 with 34 years old and gets together with him. Moves to NY city. Looks like the Paddingtons weren't happy about it but still supported her. They gave her 10 millions and them together 1 million. In 1971 she had one son Anthony DiNozzo Jr." O'Neill: "I hate it when parents do that Junior-Senior crap." O'Neill's friend Dr. Jackson says: "He really wanted a son. What do we know about the man?"

"Anthony DiNozzo Senior. Born in NY city in 1930. Mr. DiNozzo's Italian grandparents immigranted to New York. He became a truckdriver until he had enough money for his own transportation company. He was a very good business man and left his oldest son the company who made it even bigger. It was practically the American Dream.", Carter says. Jackson: " Not many could do it. The son did very well and they had a big house on Long Island. They were wealthy but not rich. They had multiple children who had successful careers: a butchers, a successful businessman who went crazy and DiNozzo Senior made it official and took over his business. He was also the one who declared him crazy. The dates... That was fast, too fast actually. He liquidated the business. Something isn't right there." O'Neill: "We can look into it later." Senior was the oldest son and had the transportation company. That dickhead. Two generations built that company and he bankrupted it." Carter works on the computer and says: "Wrong investments. He lives above his limit and first pulled money out of the company. Some of these deals look shady or just barely legal. He is almost broke now. He spend their 1 million in a year and managed to spend Mrs. DiNozzo money too. He spend almost 7 million of the 10 millions in 7 years. After medical bills she left her son something under 2 million US Dollars but he can't access them for years; at that time they will be 2 millions in the account. Sadly, DiNozzo Senior is named in it which he himself added after she bodily-died when her son was 8 years old." Carter stills, thinking about her own mother.

Jackson takes over. "Loses his money faster than he makes it. Has ties to the Arab world and generally the rich and useful persons. Had a new partner after... that was fast. Almost directly after Mrs. Paddington. Always rich woman whose money he uses or pretty 21 years olds. He ... that can't be right. He left his son in a hotel room on Hawaii to make a business deal on the continent. When the police found him, he didn't even know that the child was there. He tried to access the money that his mother left him unsuccessfully, luckily. Send him to multiple boarding schools and summer camps since he was 14 years old after..." Jackson stopans. He looks at the colonel and tells him: "I am sorry Jack." "What?", Colonel Jack O'Neill stops his spacing and asks. Jackson: " He disowned him." He blinks and asks again: "How is that possible with a 14 years old? What could a 14 years old have done?" "Money. I think., Carter adds, " He tried to access his mother's money again after it. He wasn't happy that he wouldn't inherit if something happened to the child after that. He tried to reverse it but someone stopped him." Jackson: "He wasn't happy when he found out that he still would have to pay for his education, food and basic needs until he turned 18 years old. Send him to one boarding school after the other. He was in 7 schools in his 4 high school years; thrown out of 6 of them. Which is understandable."

Teal'c: "I don't understand. Isn't that considered bad behaviour?" "Children who are ignored often do things; they think that negative attention is better than no attention. But Mr. DiNozzo still ignored him.", Carter explains, " And the boarding schools were a calculable expense and it looked good after he disowned his son. When he turned 18, he was on his own." Teal'c: "I see."

O'Neill: "Disgusting. If he is my son or not, he would have been better with me. Even when I was only 17 years old. The last school is a military school which has bad rumours surrounding it. That bastard wanted to break him."

Teal'c: "Indeed. It is shameful."

Jackson continues: "Someone left him shares in a dot-com business which looks good. In general, the Paddingtons cut him off but that could have been to protect them. The older DiNozzo likes to ignore the Senior and impersonats the younger one when it helps him. Perhaps the Paddingtons thought that he would be like DiNozzo Senior.

Anyway, he did well. He had an average SAT score even through the many schools would have hurt his education. He had a full ride at the Ohio State university through American Football. Bachelor of Art in . Was good in Basketball too. He could have gone Pro but at his last game his knee was blown out."

O'Neill asks, worryingly: "What about his education?" Teal'c: "What do you mean?" Jackson: "His education and board was only for free as long he could play for the team. A blown knee can heal but it isn't acceptable in these sports. His medical bills were covered but not the rest. Luckily, his uncle Clive Paddington gave him a 10.000 Dollar loan. He finished his Bachelor but that was it. He was most likely planning to go Pro and or to do a Masters after it but he didn't have the money for more. Some time later he rescued a little boy in a house fire. Shortly after that he went to the Police Academy and became a police officer. He worked hart and quickly made Detective. He is an undercover specialist and brilliant investigator. He moved cities every two years. The last ones were Philadelphia and Baltimore. ... That's big. The singlehandedly took out an arm of the Sicilian Mafia. Went undercover and his cover wasn't broken till the arrests. That's impressive." "Very impressive.", Jack says, " High solve and conviction rates. Specialities are Multiple Homicides and Gang cases. Officially. " Carter: "Than he quite and became an NCIS agent. Why didn't he ttransfer or have his yeas register? His cop years won't count to retirement. He recently had the Black Pest."

"WAIT? WHAT? The middle Ages illness? How did that happen?", asks O'Neill loudly.

Carter answers: " Bio-engineered, shielded and sent in an envelope. He opened it. A mother send it for a rape that didn't happen and the earlier investigation. His lungs are scarred permanently and badly." "Won't they heal to a degree?", Teal'c asks. " Imagine that you can't fight like you uses to because you feel like you are suffocating and sometimes even are suffocating." "I see." She continues: "It won't heal much; at least with Earth technology. " "Carter?" "If he is your son, I don't see why we couldn't help him. He already has a high security clearance. We will only have to get some of his DNA to test against yours."

"He did very well.", Jackson tells O'Neill and then asks the question: " How do you plan to contact him?"

****Stargate****NCIS****

Two days later, SG1 are in Washington, District of Columbia. General Hammond had given them a week off when he heard about the news.

Back O'Neill is standing outside Mrs. DiNozzo's sons apartment, thinking about what to say when he sees him live the house. The agent goes to café and Jack orders a coffee, walks over to the agent's table and asks if he can sit with him. When the agent licks the cream on the cupcake top, O'Neill starts to laugh.

"What?", Tony asks nerved and insecure, " I like to eat the topping first."

O'Neill smiles and states: "Your mother used to do that to; licking the creamy toppings off before eating the rest."

Tony freezes with the cupcake to his mouth.

Tony just stares. And then he hesitantly asks: "My mother? You...you kn...kne...knew her?"

O'Neill nods: "A long time ago. Autumn 1970. We spend some days together."

Tony is like a starved animal: "That's was a long time ago. What was she like?"

O'Neill drops the bomb: "It was. In one month it will be 34 years and 9 months."

"9 months?"

"Yes.", the older man says, " That's how long a pregnancy usually last, well, 10 months. If I wouldn't have seen stranger things, I would think that this is a dream and I will wake up. It must be strange to you."

Tony is hiding that he is afraid and asks: "Is this a joke? Because if it is, it isn't funny. Did my team set you up?" O'Neill: "I don't know your team or if they would do something like this. But I'd they would, that you should change the team; you can't trust someone like that to have your back." Tony: "So this is real? ...I'm about to freak out here. Does...does that...me..mean what I think it means?" "I think so.", O'Neill answers, " We will have to do a DNA testing but it is highly likely. Your mother thought so." "Why now?", Tony asks, hurting, " Why do you tell me this now? Why not when I was a child or when I turned 18? What do you want?" "Nothing." "Don't lie. I know when I'm being played. Did you even know my mother?! Who are you? Who are you working for? Napolitano; on of my Ex's CIA; Senior; Macaluso? Who?" "Woah. I didn't lie and nobody send me. I only want to find out if you're... you are my son, and get to know you, if you want to. And I only found out who and where you are two days ago." Tony calms down. O'Neill continues: "I searched for you when your mother disappeared, even though old DiNozzo told me not to but I couldn't find you. For crying out loud, I didn't even know your mothers real name. I only found you because my friends helped me after I told them about you." "He knew?! Senior knew that you could be...and he hasn't told me.", Tony says, steaming, " How did you find me if you didn't know her name? You learned about it 2 days ago and are already here in DC today." The colonel nods. O'Neill explains: "I was 16 when your mother and I...you know. We met and it was interesting. It was only flirting; both of us knew that she was above 21 and I below 18. She said that she wanted some fresh air. She was funny and played the mysterious card which she wasn't good at but she didn't tell me her name. She told me her old last name but that didn't help me; there weren't any Paddingtons registered in the states and her last name had already changed to DiNozzo. What are you calling him anyway? Senior?" "Yes. Though I should call him something different now. Perhaps Asshole. He knew it all this time. I could have grown up with you. I can't imagine my mother with a minor."

O'Neill: "I hate that senior junior crap. Can't they give their children their own names." "Exactly!"

O'Neill: "If it helps, there were some special cookies involved and we woke up some hours later. What name do you use? What should I call you?"

Tony: "Yes. That actually helps. NCIS Very Special Agent Tony DiNozzo. Just call me Tony. And you are?"

Jack: "Jack O'Neill. With two L's. I am a Colonel in the Air Force. Call me Jack. ... Hi. Tony"

Tony: "Hi Jack. Does that mean that I will be a O'Neill then?" Jack smiles brightly: "If you want to. Do you like the name 'Tony'?" The agent: "I would like it. I always had a secret fantasy that Senior wasn't my biological parent. I actually like Tony, just not Anthony; Senior always used it in full." O'Neill: "Want to find out if you aren't Anthony DiNozzo Junior; want to know if you are Tony O'Neill?" "With two L's.", Tony jokes. They stand up and walk to the hotel that SG1 are using and where their DNA testing kit is.

While they walk the colonel tells Tony about his mother and how it went down and an edited version about how they found him.

Tony: "Marshmallows? Really? You aren't stuck up or like I imagined a colonel." O'Neill: "I'm an Air force officer and not a jarhead Marine. We have a healthy humour and can change. A marine goes with the head through the door and has a tunnel vision. I don't have anything against Marines; I worked with some and they are great but there is still... And thery are a different breed."

They arrive at the hotel with a good mood.

Jack warns Tony about his team being in the rooms. "So how does this work?", Tony asks. Jack answers: " We take a spit swap and if you let us a blood sample. My friends take it to a friend who does the test and we Ind it then out. Tony ...even if I amnot your parent, we can still become friends ...and Senior legally disowned you. So you could simply legally change your name to what you want. Which would be good since we found out that Senior often tried to access your money and ignores the Senior and then tells them that he is you." Tony turns away and nods.

Tony meets the team. O'Neill: "This is Dr. Jackson, Air Force Major Dr. Carter and ... Murray. This is Tony, NCIS Very Special Agent." "Hi." "Hello." "It is nice to make your acquaintance Tony." "Hello."

Tony starts to cough; it sounds like he is hacking up his lungs and vomiting it. He is bended over himself; he is trying to find purchase on a nearby commode. Tony's knees give out. It happens in a moment. O'Neill jumps in to catch and steady Tony. Teal'c has his eyebrow up; it surprised him. "Sorry.", Tony forces out, " The walking was too much for me. I had a little thing with my lungs last week." O'Neill: "Come on and sit down on the bed. It was a long walk. I wouldn't call having the lung pest a little thing." Tony looks up: "How do you ..*cough*cough*..know about that?" "We did some digging. What we do has a security clearance and I was curious about you.", Jack answers. Dr. Jackson says: " That sounds bad. Shouldn't you still be in the hospital?" Tony admits: "I don't like hospitals and I could go. I just have to go to checkups. What?" The others are smiling and looking at the colonel. "Oh. Don't look at me like that. You escape the infirmary too when you can.", the colonel comments. The others grimace.

Tony's coughing stops.

" Sorry."

"There is no need for an apology. You fought against a strong illness and won...Tony. You are still recovering; it is normal to be still weak. Colonel O'Neill perhaps we should not do the DNA testing and just take him with us to Doctor Fraiser for treatment. She could do the DNA testing with the other tests.", Teal'c says in his usual deep voice.

Jackson: " I partly agree; we should check if we can do something.Theee has to be something. But I don't know if she has the knowledge. Jack I know that you don't want special treatment but this isn't you using some privilege; and the General already agreed." O'Neill: "I didn't ask him." Jackson: "I asked." Tony: "I don't think that is needed. My doctor is the foremost expert on lung diseases. It is quite funny. He rescued me and he was the same guy who blew my knee in college. Nothing against your doctor but Dr. Pitt is the expert." O'Neill: " We can leave it for now. But do you mind if she looks at your medical file? It wouldn't hurt to look if we have something to make it better." "I guess that wouldn't hurt. So can we do the swap and blood test?" Carter takes the samples, while Jackson and O'Neill have a talk.

Carter and Teal'c will take the samples and a copy of Tony's medical file back with them to the mountain. Jackson will visit museums in DC. He and O'Neill will stay in DC. Jack plans to take care of Tony if there isn't someone already and spend time with him. Tony likes the idea of company. At which point Tony wants to see some IDs. An hour later the Colonel and Carter take Tony home where Carter searches for bugs; they are found and destroyed.

Cater and Teal'c leave. Jackson visits some old colleague. He and Jack stay in DC. After Jack finds out that not even Tony's friends/coworkers will visit him, he camps out on the coach next to the piano.

The next day is great for Tony. So much has changed. A pepper haired man, a stranger, sat down opposite him and turned his world upside down. Tony is thinking about it: He was good. While in the café there was the possibility that he was military but he doesn't scream it even now like many other military do. He is so different to what he is used. Tony is looking at Jack who is making lunch for them, chicken and vegetable broth with very small noodles.

In the morning he woke up to the smell of pancake; homemade pancakes with fruits and sirup. Seeing an air force colonel at his stove was a sign and he didn't leave his kitchen in pieces. The man who perhaps is, or isn't, his real biological parent took care of him; took actual care of him. 'It is sooo nice' is what Tony thinks. Steadying him physically; asking him what he wants; telling him that he is a good detective and agent; being proud; talking about his mother; about what he is afraid of; their pasts - more or less.

Tony looks up again. Jack is finished and they eat at the kitchen counter.

****Stargate****NCIS****

In the afternoon Dr. Fraser calls Jack O'Neill's phone.

"Hello Colonel. I am sorry that I haven't called earlier but SG-9 came back. Their scientists broke his arm."

"What happened?"

"No Attack. He tripped on a root and had a bad landing."

"Figures. So what do you have? Wait. Let me put you on speaker. "

Jack sits down next to Tony.

"Doc?"

"I run the test twice. Colonel O'Neill it is a boy. 99,9999998%"

"Really? ", Tony asks.

O'Neill repeats it: " Really? "

"Yes. I run the tests myself and I will run it again but the results won't change Colonel. Hello mister. I am Doctor Fraiser. What should I call you?"

"Tony. Dr. Fraiser. Do Senior really isn't my parent?"

" No. I heard some things as I think that you are happy about that. Colonel O'Neill is a good man."

Tony smiles. O'Neill has been starring at Tony since the doctor confirmed the positive test results.

"A different topic: Major Carter gave me Mr. ... Tony's medical file. Teal'c told me what happened and wants to have Tony on base. I looked through Dr. Pitt's treatment plan and I agree with him. At least, for the next 3 weeks. We could do some test then but we have to see how it goes. If you allow me, I would like to converse with the Dr. Pitt about your situation. I have some experience with strange or Middle Age diseases. While I have some ideas for treatments, they can't start until you are healed naturally to a certain point. Since you now know the results, I am going to tell the General about the happy news. I already asked him to run a security check. The General wants to talk to you; he is extending your leave with 3 days. He would like to give you more but the mission can't be postponed for more."

"I understand. Thank you doc. Thank George too."

"Thank you."

After the phonecall Tony and Jack hug each other. "Does that mean that I get a new ID?", Tony asks. " Definitely. Tony O'Neill. If you want to change your first name too.", Jack says. Tony: "So what will we do in the next days?"

****Stargate****NCIS****

Some days later Colonel O'Neill flies back to the mountain. Tony who is still officially Agent Tony DiNozzo is back at work because he can't stand his apartment and because he healed a lot better when his parent took care of him. It was such a great experience, without the illness. In some weeks he will have the official name change. He still thinks that it is unreal that they postponed a mission for him, well, the colonel.

In the next days SG1 will have a successful mission and Gibbs' team have one member less. Tony and Jack talk about it. Tony passes the security tests for the Stargate Programme but isn't read in. Tony has changed: He is more confident and has less insecurities; he starts to stand up for himself; he notices things that he might have ignored for Gibbs; he sees that Gibbs actions are sometimes abusive. The psycho serial case is next.

And then there is the day when Ziva tells him tat she is part of the team. Tony thinks: 'Did she look happy, superior,self-affirmed, vindictive, spiteful and malicious joyish when she thought that Gibbs didn't tell me about it?! Why is she even here? It has been less than a month since she was here!'

After the first official case with Ziva and Gibbs' 'try Ziva' attitude, Tony knew that he didn't want to do it: to work with her. She was a spy; she was, already on the first day, fishing for information about them and him. Tony thinks: 'At least, she didn't know about Jack. Had it been Mossad bugs in his apartment? Without Jack he would have worked with Ziva but he can't. It won't go well. Jack said that he could transfer to AFOSI, that they would take him with open arms even without his help. Perhaps it is time for that. He doesn't want this. He can't risk Jack's secret project. Would he be even allowed to change his last name?'

Later the day he calls Jack who agrees with him to quit. Tony quits the next morning. He has enough vacation days and overtime that he doesn't need to give a two weeks notice. He goes in early, before the others, quits, packs his things in the office and leaves without the teams knowledge. On the way out he meets Palmer whom he tell about the quitting. He is hired by AFOSI the same day. That day the Colonel gives the right persons the information about the Mossad Spy with access to sensitive material. Days later he will learn that it won't change much. The agencies will be watching till she makes a mistake but they can't do more. The NCIS director knows where the skeletons are and how to play the political game. The agencies don't want to do anything because they don't want to destabilise the balance between USA and Israel. Colonel, or rather General Hammond could speak to the President but the Colonel and General don't want to go there, in the moment.

After one months at AFOSI, Tony has his name changed to Tony O'Neill and is promoted to his new teams "Senior Field Agent" and told about the Stargate Programme. The Air Force buys Tony's apartment at a good price. After another month he is SIC of the team. Half a year later, after many solved cases and some workshops, he moves to the SGC, not as an AFOSI agent. He is a contractor like Dr. Jackson and works sometimes as an investigator and sometimes as something else. He later will go through the Gate and will be on a SG team.

Tony is happy.

****Stargate****NCIS****

At NCIS the team arrives to work. It is the day that Tony quits.

First, they don't bother with DiNozzo's not-appearance. Then it's 10 o'clock am, they have a case, Gibbs takes his first real look at DiNozzo's desk and notices the absence of some things. He tells McGee to ping DiNozzo's phone and moves to and searches DiNozzo's area. "What's going on boss?" "I didn't ask you to talk. FIND him!", Gibbs shouts. Tony's things are missing, his medals too. There is a note at it's place:'In your desk'. Gibbs searches his desk and finds them. McGee: " Found him. He is...here." "His things are missing.", Gibbs. Ziva doesn't realise the danger and says: " Perhaps he took out his trash. He did year cleaning, right? And he now has a coffee break." "There are his things, not his trash Ziva. Clothes, snacks, his personal items.", Gibbs tells her harshly.

It became worse; A TAD agent, who Resources sent, arrived. They learn that Tony DiNozzo quit, effective immediately. Gibbs lost it. He shouts at everyone, even the director. Then the Resources woman comes up to their office and after Gibbs shouts at her, she informs him in a normal volume, in a bored voice like a little chat that agent DiNozzo quit; that he doesn't need Gibbs allowance for it and the reason for the resignation: He won't work together with a spy as a team member, especially the one who made the files on them for the man who shot his old job partner. It blew Gibbs. He shouted at Ziva for being there and then run to the director to shout at her because she forced him to try it until the director pulled rank. She send him home but he rather worked the case. The TAD agent wasn't bad.

The next day Ziva has an easy time with spying but she and McGee have a difficult time with Gibbs. He snaps at the smallest things and nothing is good enough. The funny part is that because Tony's investigation is missing, they solve rate drops. They try to meet him but then learn that he was hired as an AFOSI agent a few hours after quitting. McGee gets a warning when he tries to hack Tony's information in AFOSI. He didn't manage it. In addition, they find out that Tony is at a short "orientation" outside of DC and so not at home. If Mz. Sciuto would have known that beforehand, she might not have gone to the apartment and loudly screeched and threatened an empty apartment to a degree that the neighbours became concerned and called the cops who arrested her. Ziva waits with breaking into the apartment. Unluckily she does it after it was already sold to the Air force which results with a construction worker pulling a pan over her head. Luckily, she isn't arrested.

In the next years the team feel the absence. Ziva has an easier time in manipulating McGee who gets worse a lot faster than with Tony. McGee even stays some days in prison holding until his Admiral parent finds the bullet in the wall.

Many things change.

In canon Tony DiNozzo was born in 1971 or 1970, on 22. June — 23. July. Sadly many online pages say 1968 because that is the actor's births year but the agent's is 1971/1970.

Proof: In season 1 episode 21 Agent Todd "guesses" correctly that Tony's age is 32. The episode happens in 2003 (in episode time). So if he turned 32 in 2003, he was born in 1971. If is 32 and will turn 33 in 2003, he was born in 1970. In addition, he somewhere said that he is "Cancer" (astrology/metrology thing) which means he was born between 22. June and 23. July.

Definition:

In serie time/ In episode time/ Canon time: This is the time when the episodes happen in reality and not the air date. The in episode time counts the time that actually has passed inside the story.

For example, episode 9 airs in March then their is a summer break and then episode 10 airs in September. But episode 10 picks up at the same time when episode 9 stopped, like 2 seconds later: the same conversation in the same room and day that it was in episode 9.

Or, Between two air dates are 7 days but in the episode they say that it has been 4 month since then.

Or, there is an actual date given in the episode and it isn't the air date.
