An important phone call
Gibbs' phone at his desk had been ringing all morning and was driving Tony, Kate, and McGee crazy. It had been a slow week at NCIS and Gibbs was in a very important meeting with Director Shepard and the FBI. After awhile the phone stopped ringing. "Finally." Tony said. But then to the agents dismay it began ringing again. "Should we answer it?" McGee asked. "Yeah Probie let's answer it and prepare to be shot by Gibbs when he finds out." Tony replied. "Incase you forgot Tony I'm not a Probie anymore, I haven't been in a long time." McGee said harshly. "You're still a Probie compared to me, incase you're forgetting I am the senior field agent." Tony replied back. "Yeah well what does that make Kate? She's not a senior field agent or a probie." McGee pointed out. "Kate is Kate." Tony replied. "Oh thanks Tony." Kate joined in. "Kate, honey you know what I mean." Tony tried to explain but Kate gave him one of her don't push it looks. "Okay we're going to take care of this situation right now. McGee get back to work. Tony answer the phone." Kate ordered. "You're kidding right? I mean what's in it for me?" Tony asked. "Nothing but I'll tell you what's not in it for you if you don't." Kate replied. "You're serious, okay fine."
Tony went over to Gibbs desk and answered the phone. "Special Agent Gibbs' phone this is Agent Dinozzo speaking. No he is not available at the moment can I take a message. Yeah okay I'll make sure he gets it." Tony said and hung up the phone. "So was it that difficult?" Kate asked. "Kate come with me." Tony said and Kate got up and followed. "What is it?" Kate asked. The woman who called was calling about Gibbs' daughter." Tony said. "What did she say?" Kate asked. "Nothing except that he needs to call her back immediately. Should we interrupt his meeting to give him the message or wait? Either way he's going to be mad." Tony asked. "Tony if it was Aidan or Ethan someone was calling about wouldn't you want to know? I know I would. We've got to go tell him now." Kate replied. Tony and Kate quickly headed to the directors office.
Tony knocked on the door. "Come in." Jen said. "Um we need to talk to Gibbs for a minute." Tony said. "You have five minutes Agent Dinozzo." Gibbs said. "Actually we need to talk to you in private." Tony replied. "I'll be right back." Gibbs said to the Director. Gibbs followed Tony and Kate out into the hall. "What's so important that you two had to drag me out of a very important meeting? I mean I leave you in charge for 3 hours Tony and you already…" Gibbs began to say when Kate cut him off. "It's about your daughter Gibbs." "What about my daughter?" Gibbs asked. Tony hands him the message. "We're not sure all we know is you need to call this woman back immediately." Tony replied. "Thank-you, now get back to work." Gibbs ordered. Tony and Kate headed back to their desks. "Well that went well." Kate said. "Well at least he didn't try to shoot us." Tony replied.
