AN/ You guys had to wait way to long for this chapter I know but here is why: in my head I'm way ahead with this story so when I have access to my laptop to write I'd have used all my imagination up in my head and it's boring to write from this part of the story since in my head I'm so much further. So my apologies, for those who read Russian problems, the same reason goes for that story T_T


chapter six

'DiNozzo!' Came the loud voice of his captain once Tony and Kelly step into the bullpen.

'Captain?', he asks. His captain waves him over and he nods.

'Stay here for a minute, will ya? I have to see my captain.'

'Sure, see you in a minute?' Tony gave her a nod and went after his captain.

A minute went by and a angry Anthony DiNozzo stormed out of the office.

'Your choice DiNozzo! Finnish this investigation and start looking for a different job or do the op and stop this investigation!'

'I'll better start job hunting then!', Tony shouted. Kelly who hadn't expected the shout looked in shock. 'Because I won't even be finishing this case!'

'Yes you will!'

'Try and make me, just try! I only just came back from the last OP and I've been running those op's for a year now! I've had enough!'

'You will finish this case DiNozzo or I will put a formal reprimand in your file!'

'Well, go ahead I say,' He drops his badge and gun on his desk. 'I'm done and I quit.' With those words Tony turns around and walks out of the building, Kelly follows him and gets as quickly as she can in his car.

'What just happened Tony?', she asks.

'I quit, that's what happened.'

'Why?' Is all Kelly can think of off asking.

'I'll explain later when I see your dad. He'll be pissed but I had no choice.'

'Let's get back then because I want to know what just happened.'

'First stopping for coffee.' Tony said.

'No, directly back home Tony.' Tony rolled his eyes but did as Kelly said. He knew that she's curious and maybe even concerned but how in hell was he supposed to explain that he refused to do his job. A job he signed for!


'Hey boss!', came the voice of his SFA Stan Burley.

'Burley.', Gibbs said as greeting.

'Jethro, would it kill you to say hi with more then just one word which happened to be his name?'

'Hi Burley.', corrected Gibbs himself. Shannon rolled her eyes and gave Gibbs a swat against his head.

'Hi Shannon, nice seeing you again, where is that lovely daughter of yours?', Stan asked laughing.

'She should be back any minute now, make yourself at home Stan, I'll make tea.' Stan gave a nod and sat down.

'Boss, can we talk for a minute?'

'Sure, what's on your mind?'

'I got offered a promotion as agent afloat...'

'And you're thinking of taking it.' It wasn't a question, Gibbs already knew about the promotion, he recommended Burley for it. Burley's a great agent and deserves the promotion.

'I'm thinking about it, but...'

'What's the problem Stan?'

'I would hate to leave you without a team or proper backup boss, I watched your six for five years now and I need to know that there will be someone else watching it.'

'How cute, your worried.'

'Hell yeah, your a trouble magnet boss, someone needs to drag your ass out of the trouble you get yourself in to.'

'Don't let your future depend on me Stan, you deserve the promotion, did for years.'

At that the door opened and a arguing Kelly and Tony entered the house.

'For a cop you break a lot of traffic laws!'

'Did not! And I'm no cop anymore, remember me resigning?'

'And I still don't understand why you would do that.'

'Safety reasons.'

'Whose?'

'Mine.'

'Oh, that is just a excellent reason for a cop who puts his life in danger every day!'

'Guys!', Gibbs said stepping between them. 'What happened?', he asked.

'I resigned.'

'You see me laughing DiNozzo?'

'You see me kidding Gibbs?'

Stan looked from a distance and liked what he saw. The kid standing in front of his boss wasn't scared to challenge the man and would keep him on his toes. He could see that his boss had interest in the kid.

'What happened?'

'My captain wanted me to take a undercover operation, I would be under for at least nine months and wouldn't be able to finish this case.'

'What kinda op?'

'Human trafficking.'

'Hell DiNozzo, that's way more important than this!'

'I know Gibbs but I have been on THREE long term undercover operations only this year! I only came back a week and a half from the last one and have been out of the hospital for only a week! I need time to be myself and calm down, plus the backup they send with me either sucks or is non existing.'

'What do you mean DiNozzo?'

'Mike Macaluso, what do you know about him?'

'Not much, I know that he's a drugs dealer and that a lot of cops would like to catch him.', Gibbs answers Tony.

'Yeah, the guy's a piece off work, I was placed undercover six moths ago and worked my way up to be his second and we caught the bastard...'

Stan jumped up from his seat. 'Your the cop that caught him!?'

'Yeah, I did, I'm only just back from that op and I'm exhausted, I can't and won't go on that OP they assigned me to.'

'Man, I heard that the police work done on that case was legendary!'

Tony snorted at that.

'Police work? What police work? It was all my work, the backup was lousy, I'm specialized in undercover work but this was a tough one and I won't be placed in that sort of situation again without backup.'

'So your a unemployed cop, specialized in undercover work without a job?', Gibbs asked.

'That about sums it up yes.'

Gibbs smiled and stood from his seat. 'I need to make a phone call and you need to pack.', he said with a pointed look at Tony.

'I do?' Gibbs didn't answer but just walked away.

'If I were you I wouldn't make him wait.'

'Why?'

'He just figured out your free to leave this place man.'

'Maybe I'd rather join the FBI, Fornell seems to really want me.'

'You go there DiNozzo and I'll be forced to shoot you, or myself,' Came the voice of Gibbs. 'Tobias would never let me live it down.'

'Why would you want me in your team Gibbs, you barely know me, not enough to know whether I'd make a good agent or not.'

'My gut.' Was all Gibbs said. Tony couldn't help but smile.

'What are you still doing here DiNozzo? I told you to pack!'

'On it boss!'


So this was the chapter, I hope it was worth the wait and I'll try to uodae sooner.
