Prologue


Tony watches as the team leave to go and celebrate the end of a case. Tony's arm was in a sling from a bullet. Honesty why didn't they believe it was a bullet? Not like wood could do this damage. Tony had to go back tonight to the hospital because of his lungs. Not one person but Palmer had asked about his health of spending a day in a cold container. Tony sighs he knew he didn't trust Gibbs and McGee anymore and he didn't really trust Ziva. Tony knew it was dangerous for him to not feel someone on his six. If Kate was here he would be fine. They are like brother and sister.

Tony slams his fist on the desk.

"What are you doing DiNozzo?" Tony asks his self, "I have spent longer here then I should"

Tony sits down and writes his letter of resignation. Printing off a copy he walks up to Director Sheppard's office and knocks on the door.

"Come in", Jenny calls

Tony walks in eyes hard. And hands the Director his letter. Jenny looks at it in shock.

"Why Agent DiNozzo?" Jenny asks

"I have been here to long Director. You have read my file I only stay in places for two years this is nearing year 5. I need to leave", Tony says

"That is not the reason", Jenny says

"I don't trust my team. If I can't trust them to have my six I can't be here. It is too dangerous. So I am moving on Director. It has been a pleasure working for you", Tony says

"What about I transfer you?" Jenny offers

"No. I am not staying with NCIS. I honestly should have quit when Kate … when Kate was shot. I am clearing out my desk now Director", Tony says pulling out his badge and gun

Looking at them he knew he couldn't do this anymore. He cared about the team. But he was hurt. Deeply. Leaving would help him.

"My badge and gun Director. I hope whoever replaces me will be worthy of that badge and gun", Tony says putting both items on the desk

"Are you sure? No turning back once you walk out that door", Jenny replies

"I know. Tell everyone I will come back to help if needed. Palmer has my number. Just ask him. But only in an emergency. I will be out of contact for a while. Goodbye Director Sheppard been a pleasure working under you this short period of time", Tony says walking calmly out the door

Tony walks down to his desk and packs his belongings. Jimmy was waiting for him and takes the box of stuff from Tony's desk. Tony picks up Gibbs medal box and deposited it on Gibbs's desk with the keys.

"Ready Tony? We need to get you to the hospital", Jimmy asks

"I am ready Palmer lets go", Tony says walking out of NCIS

Tony's second phone goes off. While he was at the hospital

"K why are you calling?" Tony asks

"Just wanted to see if your ok. Are you lungs fine? What about the gun shot?"

"I am fine. Tell Kel that too", Tony replies

"When are you coming to us?"

"Soon Katie. Soon", Tony says hanging up

Soon Tony leaves America and NCIS. Leaving behind a giant gap in Team Gibbs. And leaving Agent McGee and Officer David to handle Gibbs's famous temper…
