3 WEEKS LATER

NCIS -BULL PEN

Tony and Tim had kept their relationship a secret. Going to work separately and making sure no one seen em. It was 8 am on Monday morning when Gibbs came in and stopped at Tony's desk. "We got a case. A couple found a body down in Richmond. They want us on the case." Gibbs said.

"I'll get the truck." Tony said.

"I'll grab gear." Kate said. McGee followed after them smirking at his view.

CRIME SCENE -RICHMOND VA.

10: AM

Tony and Kate got out and got stuff following Gibbs. Tim was following suddenly seen Tony's shoulders tense. "Oh dear god." Tony whispered looking at the body before him.

"What is it Dinozzo?" Gibbs barked.

"I know him. His name is David Grimaldi-Dinozzo." Tony said taking a deep breath.

"What?" Kate asked.

"He's my nephew. He just joined the forces a few months ago." Tony said. The officer in charge nodded at Gibbs indicating Tony was right.

"Dinozzo come with me." Gibbs said softly and Tony followed him to the back of the truck.

"Give me a good reason why I shouldn't take you off this case?" Gibbs asked.

"Cause I can tell you stuff you'll likely need to solve this case. And I would like to lay hands on who did this to my nephew." Tony said emotionless.

"Alright. But I swear Dinozzo you mess it up and you'll be riding a desk til it's done. Got it?" Gibbs said.

"Got it." Tony said.

2: PM

NCIS- MORGUE

Tony and Gibbs walked into Ducky's domain and nodded at him. "Dear Anthony let me say how sorry I am for your loss. Have you contacted his family yet?" Ducky asked.

"Not yet. Duck. Waiting for the right time." Tony said softly.

"Alright. Well our dear Lad here wasn't stabbed he was tortured." Ducky said.

"Tortured?" Gibbs asked.

"Indeed. The stab wound was probably a blessing to him. He looks to have been starved." Ducky said.

"Anything else?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes sorry to say. He looks to have been molested as well." Ducky said. Tony had to grab onto the counter to not fall.

"Thanks Duck. Come on Dinozzo." Gibbs said guiding Tony out of the morgue.

4: PM

NCIS -CONFERENCE ROOM

Tony was sitting alone in the room when the door opened to show Tim standing there with a cup of coffee with him. "Thought you might need this." He said sitting it in front of Tony. Tim looked around and seen no one looking and kissed Tony's head lightly.

"Thanks. Needed both." Tony said smiling his rare soft smiles.

"You call em?" Tim asked.

"No. Trying to figure out what to say." Tony said.

Tim nodded and rubbed his back. "Just tell him that you need them to come down here." Tim said.

"Yeah." Tony said picking up the phone. It was answered by his sister in law. "Gloria? I have something to tell you." Tony said. Tim listened in on the conversation gripping Tony's hand when he seen Tony try to crumble. Sometimes he just liked being the supporter.
