Disclaimer: I do not own anything, the characters all belong to the creator of the show. I just own the idea and the plot for this story. As well as my OCs AJ Gibbs, his ex-wife Amber and his kids, as well as Jason DiNozzo, his wife Maria and their kids. They are mine as well as Mia and Gabriel DiNozzo. I don't own the characters from NCIS: LA either.
A/N: I still looking for that one Male OC, the Medic OC, the Medic OC must have a military background (obviously) in the Navy as a Corpsman, preferably Green side meaning he goes down range with the Marines on the ground. Also, looking for Tony's Love Interest (can be Male or Female), doesn't have to be a sexual attraction either could just be that they like each other. Could be a liaison from Honolulu PD maybe, maybe another single dad, he meets at a support group or something. Really need both those OC's to complete the roster for Tony's Unit.
A/N: For about what season of NCIS: LA this takes place in, takes place in early Season 7, so Granger is still alive and Michelle Hana is also still alive just heads up. Maybe Sam or Deeks will make a cameo later on who knows.
A/N: Some dialogue taken from NCIS: Los Angeles Season 1 Episode 1 Identity. I know I'm messing with the timeline of events and everything, but it works out in my head.
Oh kind of big announcement, I'm going to back to college in about two weeks now. Just a heads up on the update schedule, I'll try and get the next two chapters out before I leave. Tony meeting his new team finally and interacting, and possibly their first case. Just wanted to let you all know, I'll be busy packing and having family over before I leave, so yeah that's my life right now.
To everyone who has submitted an OC that I accepted. I just need two more bits of information from you for your OC's. Send it in a PM titled Your OC's name: Skills and Deficiencies. Thnx.
Skills (4 Things your OC is good at that is work related and 4 things your OC is good at that isn't work related):
Deficiencies (Same goes for deficiencies 4 Things they aren't good at work related, and 4 things your OC is not good at that isn't work related):
That is all onward to Chapter 6.
Goodbye Washington Hello Hawaii
Chapter 6
Tony had been in California all of two weeks and he was feeling ten times better than he was feeling in D.C. both emotionally and physically. It was a like a huge weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. Gabe was doing excellent as well, his wounds looked much better it had been three weeks now since accident and they were healing just as they should be. Tony was taking him to the clinic on base to get him checked out before the big move. Today was Thursday he'd had to move up his Guys Night In to yesterday. Today he was heading down to Los Angeles to see Callen, Hetty and everyone to say goodbye before he left tomorrow.
He'd be leaving early tomorrow morning there was a flight out of Travis AFB to Hickam AFB, Pearl Harbor and he'd managed to get a seat on it. Even though the flight out wasn't until 1100. It took eight hours to drive from Camp Pendleton to Travis AFB in Northern California. He'd gotten a flight out at 1100 California time, it'd be 0800 Honolulu time when he landed. Not so bad, except for the fact that he'd have to get up at zero dark thirty for the eight hour drive up to the Air Force base. If he didn't have to deal with a chatty Cathy or a seat kicker he was happy. Being there on the island so early gave him plenty of time to get the more immediate stuff sorted like getting his car back and start house hunting. He was now stuck in L.A. traffic, he was fine getting off base, now he was just stuck, waiting yeah this is one thing he wouldn't miss, L.A. traffic. It was the worst.
Tony stopped at the team's favorite coffee and pastry shop before heading over. Stepping out the car across the street pastries in hand, it was felt like he was finally coming home. He stopped just at the entrance reading the condemned sign. A wave of nostalgia hitting him as he did so. He remembered the first day he laid on eyes on this building. It's like it was yesterday.
*Start Flashback*
October 2001.
Newly retired Navy Lieutenant Anthony Dominic DiNozzo Jr. stood out front of the old worn down water treatment building. There was condemned sign to his left. Did he have the right building? 'This can't possibly be the place.' Tony thought to himself.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave he heard two male voices behind him.
"So, this the new office huh." Callen commented as he eyed the building as well as the tall brown haired man in front of it. The man was dressed in a suit, with a black backpack slung over his right shoulder.
"Yep."
"What's it like?"
"Noisy." Sam replied smiling at his partner.
"So, what was this place before we got it?" Callen asked.
"Old water plant administration building, condemned after the Northridge quake." Sam replied.
"Condemned? Callen asked looking incredulous.
"Only on the outside." Sam answered flashing a smile his partner's way. "Who are you? Sam asked noticing the tall brown haired man standing outside the building.
"Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo." Tony tells the tall black man. Not immediately recognizing him. "Sam?" he asked.
"Tony. That you man you different in a suit."
"I can say you haven't change on bit."
"Why thank you sir." Sam said sarcastically.
"Don't have to call me sir anymore Sam, we're on the same side."
"Care to fill me in partner?" Callen asked.
"G, this Tony, Tony this G. Callen my work partner."
"Nice to meet you Callen." Tony held out his hand for the other man to shake. He shook it, the three men walk inside the building.
*End Flashback*
"Well you going to just stand there all day or are you going to come in." Sam asked the shorter man in front of him.
"Oh, hey Sam good to see you."
"You too Movie buff." Sam said using Tony's old Callsign. It fit him he really was a movie buff. The two old friends and colleagues walked into where the team's bullpen was. Exactly how he remembered it, well not exactly there was one less desk.
"What you guys miss me that bad." Tony said noting the absence of the fifth desk.
"We haven't had only else on the team since you left. We work just fine with the four of us. Would be better with you though." Deeks told his friend. "I don't have my buffer man it's Open Deeks season."
"That's a new one. They're together, now right?" Tony whisper asked Callen.
"Have been for a few years now. Think he's going to pop the question soon." Callen whispered back.
"Why the visit Tony?" Kensi asked. "Not that I'm not happy to see you, but"
"Last time I was here I lost a prisoner. Ended up in a gun fight I know didn't exactly go as planned."
"So, not a prisoner transport and you brought coffee and pastries. You're leaving." Sam deduced.
Tony shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah. Couldn't come empty handed, now could I?"
"No, no you could not." Deeks walked up to the pink box and perused the boxes of baked goods.
"They're for Eric and Nell too Marty." Tony gives Deeks a playful look. 'Cops and their doughnuts.' Tony chuckled lightly.
Eric and Nell were up in Ops and watching Tony interact with the team as well as Hetty. "Well go on you two. He won't be here for long." Hetty told the other members of her team. Eric and Nell didn't need to told twice and left the Ops center.
Tony was soon enveloped in a hug from the red headed intel analyst. "Good to see you too, Nell bear."
"Going to miss you Tony."
"Me, too. Going to miss all of you. But hey, my transferring gives you all an excuse to come see me." Tony told the group of six not all hinting at where he was being transferred.
"Where you going?" Callen asked.
"Island of Oahu, Hawaii. Stationed at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. NCIS Field Office, needs a new Supervisory Special Agent over there."
Callen went quiet remembering his one trip to the island. How it could have almost ended had it not been for the combined efforts of NCIS, and Hawaii Five-0.
Sam walked over to his fellow SEAL brother and clapped him on the back. "Promotion, nice I'd say it's about time."
"Jethro not happy about that I take it?" Callen asked.
"Oh, you have no idea. But let's not dwell on the past. I'm more of a keep moving forward never look back kind of a guy." Tony knew Callen and Gibbs had a work relationship of sorts. Gibbs having saved Callen's life once or twice and vice versa. He couldn't fault his former L.A. team lead. Gibbs had his good qualities, buried deep deep down. Tony thought.
"That bad huh?" Kensi asked.
"Like I said you wouldn't believe half the stuff that came out his mouth. And I'm not going to sully your dad's name, by saying he and Gibbs were the same. Maybe in occupation only. Certainly, not in personality."
Kensi smiled. "Thanks, Tony I think."
"Oh, no it's a complement for sure trust me."
The L.A. team was off rotation today meaning they didn't have any active cases and they were just doing case paperwork and expense reports. Callen was a bit behind on his. So, they could talk freely to Tony. The group had moved from the bullpen to the other seating area just next to it for more seating.
Deeks looked at his watch and exclaimed. "Whoa time flies when you're having huh."
"Oh, yeah writing expense reports is so exhilarating." Kensi remarked toward her shaggy haired partner.
Tony really would miss this. The witty banter the general comradery between his former teammates. It was easy and nice, nothing was forced or strained. No fake smiles or forced pleasantries.
"It's got to be done, you know if every agent were to come back with explained expenses, a certain woman we all love to fear, would be out of pocket and out of job." Tony told the group almost verbatim of what Hetty had told Sam after their first assignment.
"Very well said Mr. DiNozzo." Hetty replied coming on behind the group.
"Seriously we should put a bell on her." Tony remarked playfully.
"You dare do such a thing, Mr. DiNozzo and you'll be out of job." Hetty said in a way nobody could tell if she was serious or not.
"Right of course, Hetty I would never do such a thing. Is there something you needed?" Tony asked.
"Yes, I'd like to go over a few things with you before you leave Anthony if that's alright."
"Of course, Hetty." Tony rose from his seat next to Nell and followed the shorter woman to her office. As Tony walked closer to the smaller area of the main building that was Hetty's office he saw a ton of papers and brochures on her desk.
Tony sat down in front of the desk, while Hetty sat behind her desk. "What is all this Hetty?" Tony inquired having a look at the papers.
"They're listing of local schools in the area as well as four houses that you can choose from. Everything is all sorted out all you have to do make a decision and sign the paper and receive the keys when you land. I have the name and number of real estate agent on this card." Hetty handed over a business card four pieces of paper with housing information on them.
"Hetty, I…I can't accept this…this is." Hetty held up a hand to silence the agent in front of her.
Hetty stippled her fingers in front of her on her desk and looked Tony in eye. "I can Anthony, and I have. I take care of my people."
'That was true she did take care of her people. 'Always has and apparently always will.'
"Hetty I don't know what I can do to repay you or thank you, not just for this, but for everything you've done, for believing in me and seeing my true potential." Tony said.
"Nonsense Anthony no need to repay me or to thank me." Hetty replied brushing off the compliment.
"Thank you anyway Hetty, words can't truly express how grateful I am that you took me on all those years ago. Being in NCIS changed my life."
"You're a man of many talents Mr. DiNozzo, I couldn't let those talents and skills go to waste. Now go on see the team. I'm sure they're waiting for you." Hetty politely shooed away her former agent and sat back down at her desk.
What's up with you Tony, did Hetty finally give you the keys to her car." Eric asked.
"I wish." Tony replied to the blonde haired technical operator, who was an avid surfer himself. After he'd had few lessons for Deeks anyway. "No, she gave me a house, or well a choice of houses. All paid for, all I have to do is find the one I like and sign the papers when I land tomorrow."
"A house whoa these aren't houses my friend these are like mansions." Deeks exclaimed. "Oh, this one's got a pool you gotta go with this one."
"Deeks two of them have pools." Kensi pointed out looking over her partner's shoulder. They were really nice houses too.
"Well which ever one you pick it's got to have a nice couch." Callen said. Callen actually had a house now with a nice sizable bed and the man still liked sleeping on a couch. Guess old habits dyed hard. Everyone laughed regardless.
"All of them have lanais or outdoor living areas, that'd be nice for entertaining." Sam mused.
"Alright thanks for you input everyone, but I really have to get back to Jay's house, I have to pack."
"It was good seeing you again Tony." Eric told his friend.
"You too Beale and hey any time any of you want to make the flight over. I'd be happy to put you up." Tony told the group.
"Thanks Tony that's really generous of you." Kensi replied to the man she thought of as a brother.
"Call anytime brother don't be a stranger now yah hear." Sam told his fellow SEAL.
"Wouldn't dream of it Sam. Alright guys, I'm out." Tony walked out of the L.A. field office, his friends follow out behind him. Tony started the ignition of Maria's car and peeled out away from the building.
"This is a federal office building, and there is work to be done. I suggest you all get back to it." Hetty appeared behind the group on the steps of the building. The three agents and one liaison to their credit didn't jump a foot in the air, at hearing their operations manager. Nell and Eric on the other hand. Let's just say they could take a lesson or two from Callen or Sam about situational awareness.
Friday morning Tony was up at zero dark thirty. It felt like he was back on active duty going on a mission. He was glad he had packed his go bag last night, because no normal human being should be able to function at this early hour. Though he'd been trained, and all that military training about attention to detail and punctuality were still ingrained in him. He couldn't not sleep in past 0530 on workday. Seeing as he didn't have to be in to work until 0900.
He went into each of his kids' shared rooms and kissed them goodbye and then left a note in the kitchen for his brother and sister in law. Making sure to leave his kids' flight info, for when they'd be leaving in a weeks' time. Along with his cell and new work number, just in case.
He walked over to AJ's place still pitch black, and let himself in the house. AJ was just slipping on a pair of boots before Tony walked in. "You good to go Tony?" AJ asked.
"Yep, all set. Hey thanks again for doing this." Tony whispered to the other man, in the dim light of the kitchen.
"No problem, what are friends for." AJ grabbed his own go bag with a change of clothes in it and the two thermoses one with coffee the other with tea and headed out the door. Locking it behind them.
The eight hour drive up to the base wasn't so bad. AJ drove the first four hours and then Tony drove the last four hours. Witty banter and amiable conversation kept both men awake and able to drive. The time flew by. Tony made it within an hour before roll call. Which was good, this is one flight he did not want to miss.
"Well Tony good luck over, I'm sure this is just what you needed. I better be going got a long drive ahead of me." AJ told his friend as they embraced in a hug. Tony waved at the Marine's retreating back as he got back into his car and Tony headed toward the dining facility. He hadn't had much to eat and he was starving.
Finally, he was here, after an almost six-hour flight, Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam. The weather was mild, with a slight breeze. It was only 1300. Tony had plenty of time to still do things like catch a few zzz's at the Hale Koa Hotel on Honolulu. Honolulu was only a forty-minute drive to Oahu, that's why he was staying there and not somewhere on base. Or that's how he'd planned it, originally. For who did he see as he deplaned. Jaecyon that's who.
Jaecyon was dressed in a pair of dark wash denim jeans and a red floral Hawaiian shirt, and tan Reef flip flops. Hey it was Hawai'i after all. "Jaecyon." Tony called out to his friend duffel bag slung over his shoulder, sun glasses a skew on his face.
"Hey Tony surprised to see me?" Jaecyon greeted his friend in a warm hug.
"Yeah, I didn't know you'd be here, when'd you get here anyway?"
"Oh, about three weeks ago. The week after you left D.C. that's when I left. Gibbs wasn't so happy about that. But hey what can you do. Orders are orders."
"Yeah, I know that feeling." Tony knew Jaecyon had a red Ducati 1098, so he was surprised to see a black four door sedan parked a little way away from the tarmac. "You bought a car?"
"No, it's a rental. I realized my bike's nice for zippin' around town and all, but not exactly to move boxes or if I want to buy something big. So, I got rental car. But now I have you with the Mustang so…" Jaecyon trailed off.
"You want me to drive you around. Sure, I can do that, I mean I only just got here and I have like no clue where anything is that isn't on any of the military installations." Tony drawled sarcastically.
"Oh, someone's cranky." Jaecyon quipped as he got in the driver's seat of the black Honda. Tony chucked his duffel in back and hopped in the passenger seat. Tony just looked at his friend.
"Yeah you could say that. I've been up a long time, all I want to do is get to your place and crash for a few hours."
"Sorry, but not sorry, I've got plans and you're coming with me, plus I need to keep you awake. So, you don't crash early. You did bring at least one pair of swim trunks, right?"
"I did, what'd you have in mind?"
"Nothing much just a little afternoon swim, maybe catch a wave or two."
"Alright, I'm sold, house hunting can wait, just one thing I need do is get my car."
"Right we can do that on the way. Where is it?" Tony rattled off the address to Jaecyon and they were finally on their way. Jaecyon kept up a running commentary of the places they passed he drove. Telling Tony what he thought he'd like and what he wouldn't. The scenery was so much more breathtaking in person than in any pictures Tony'd ever seen. So much better than D.C.
Having called the Hale Koa Hotel and told them to cancel his room, Tony was now sitting in his own car and following Jaecyon to his place. It was a thirty-minute drive from the dock where Tony's car was, to Jaecyon's place. Tony hadn't expected to do a lot of driving today, he supposed it kept him awake, though. Jaecyon had bought an apartment on the island. He wasn't single, but he'd be the sole occupant most of the time it made sense. The Kapilina Beach Apartments in Pearl City, they had some pretty magnificent views. They both pulled up to Jaecyon's beach front apartment. Tony killed the engine of his car and grabbed his duffel. Locking the door behind him. It was quick trip inside, Jaecyon gave Tony the five-cent tour. He also let him freshen up some, drop off his bag in the guest room, change into a pair of swim trunks and then the two friends headed over to Honolulu. Which was the biggest city and also the capital.
Tony and Jaecyon had both rented surfboards and hit the water almost instantly. Tony loved the water always had. He was lucky in where he'd been stationed when he was in the Navy always somewhere near water, or had quick easy access to a beach. Coronado is actually where he actually learned to surf. He and his kids had both ended up loving the sport. It was something they could all do as a family. Izzy wasn't much one for the water, even before she got sick. She'd go and she'd watch her husband and young children learn how. Tony had learnt and then taught both Mia and Gabe as soon as they were both able to stand up and balance on their own.
It was a real bonding experience for the three of them. After Izzy died it really brought them closer together. Even though they could only get out to California a few times a year after Izzy died. It was not being able to go every weekend that bugged the kids the most.
It's a perfect afternoon for surfing, and that's exactly what Danny "Danno" Williams was doing. He'd gotten better over the years, Grace his daughter had started when she was eight. She was now fifteen. The Five-0 team aren't working a case so they have the day off. Danny had taken both Grace and Charlie surfing, with Kono. Kono's cousin Chin, had a doctor's appointment that afternoon, and was going to join them for lunch at Kamekona's Shrimp Truck afterwards.
"Nice swells today huh brah." A clearly young Hawaiian female commented next to Tony.
"Yeah, I'll say different from California." Tony agreed.
"You're a mainlander." It was a statement, not a question. Tony knew that.
"We are mainlanders, I've only been on the island three weeks. I got transferred because of work." Jaecyon came up beside Tony a towel slung around his neck.
Kono knew there were only a few businesses or government agencies that could transfer or had offices in Hawaii. She looked at both men, they were definitely law enforcement she decided. Eyeing the tall African American man warily. The shorter brown haired male had the look of a military man. Much like the boss man, himself. He could be a Navy SEAL too, or maybe a Marine. Kono didn't know which, though the more she studied the man, she was leaner toward the first option.
"How long have you been on the island then?" Kono directed her question to Tony.
"Just flew into Pearl." Tony knew that wasn't giving too much away he could be a spouse or family member of a service member. That's who Space A flights were for, well and DoD contractors, but that was beside the point.
"You here on business then?" Kono was fishing now. The man had intrigued her, some so had his friend.
"Something like that." Was Tony's vague and non-committed answer.
"Hey Auntie Kono. Danno wants to go eat now." A small boy with short blonde hair came running up to the woman now known as Kono.
"Okay, Charlie tell him and your sister I'll be right there." Kono answered as she turned back to face the two men in front of her. "You two are welcome to join us Kamekona's got the best shrimp on the island."
"Kamekona's you say. Man, if I didn't burn off the fat the way I do. I'd be eating there all the time. I'm Jaecyon by the way." Jaecyon held out a hand for Kono and she shook it. His metal appendage which he's surprised they didn't notice right away. Kono didn't respond outwardly or even ask any questions. Which Jaecyon was grateful for.
"Kono Kalakaua."
"Nice to meet you Jaecyon, and your friend is?"
"Tony his name's Tony you'll have to excuse him he's jetlagged and hasn't eaten much since what, 0900 California time." Tony just nodded. "Alright come on buddy let's go get some food in you before you pass out on me."
Luckily Kamekona's Shrimp Truck wasn't far away and everyone sat down made introductions and ordered. "So, Kono told us you two were from the mainland and that work brought you here." Chin asked the two other men.
"Yep, it did, and I've got to say I can seriously see the appeal to living here." Jaecyon saw a lot of women walking by just in bikinis and short shorts. "If I didn't have a girlfriend back home…" Jaecyon left the sentence open ended.
"What kind of work." Danny asked.
"Government work. Pick any one of the alphabet soup agencies, I still bet you wouldn't be able to guess which one it was." Tony quipped at the New Jersey native.
"You're a funny guy you know that DiNozzo. A lot like my partner Steve." Danny said. "Work partner." He quickly amended not wanting either man to get the wrong idea. Not that there was anything wrong with liking other men, it just wasn't for Danny.
The group of seven continued to chat amicably about everything and nothing, until there food came. Served to them by a large Hawaiian man with yellow t-shirt that looked to have his face on the head of shrimp on the t-shirt. It read Kamekona's on the front.
"There we go guys best shrimp on the island." Kamekona said. He looked at the two newcomers at the table. "Any friends of Kono's are friends of mine. Half off for you two."
"Thanks, Kamekona, but really that's not necessary." Tony tried to tell the larger man. The other man just waved him off politely and went back to the truck.
Tony's phone rang about half way through their meal. He excused himself quietly and left and answered the call a few feet away. The operator asked if he wanted to accept the call from the prison, he wanted to say no and hang up, but something was itching at him in the back of his mind to say yes, and he did. He almost immediately regretted it.
"How could you be so selfish? Do you enjoy hurting your coworkers? Does it make you feel good getting all of us in trouble? Does it? What kind of low-life does that to his friends? You're…you're horrible!"
Abby had her fists balled up and she wanted to punch something as she stood near the wall of payphones. The guards were eyeing her carefully to see what she would do.
"Abby! Enough! What do you think you're doing calling me just to yell at me? If you aren't going to talk civilized I'm going to hang up Abby." Tony warned the irate former forensic scientist.
"Don't you dare try and pretend like you don't understand, DiNozzo! You know what you did! Don't you dare try and shut me up, you backstabber! You filed a complaint with Internal Affairs over nothing! It happened a year ago."
"Nothing, nothing, you can't be serious Abby I was seriously hurt I was laid up in the hospital for three weeks and you call that nothing."
"Big baby is what you are. Why'd you do it, Tony? Why would you ever do something so despicable? How could you? I'm in trouble now with Vance, they say I may never work again because of you. I'm in prison. They're getting some lab monkey to come into my lab and messing with my stuff! My work! My lab! They're touching my stuff! All because of you! How can you live with what you did? How dare you!" Tony could her Abby huffing and puffing down the line, clearly out of breath from her rant.
"How could I?" Tony asked incredulously waving his hands around. Tony turned toward his table and could see the others looking at him. He held up a finger to signal one more minute, and they were appeased.
you know what Abby, I'm not even going to dignify that with a response, I'm done with you and I'm done with everyone else up there. Goodbye Abigail Scuito." Tony jabbed the end call button on his phone. He couldn't believe her. 'Well at least I haven't gotten any death threats from Ziva yet. That's a plus.' Tony thought as he walked back to the table.
"Sorry I took so long guys, personal issues."
"Ex-wife?" Danny asked humorously. Tony went stone cold at the other man's words. Kono and Chin could see his facial expressions change almost instantly.
"She wishes she could be his ex." Jaecyon said covering for his friend. Not five minutes after Tony returned to the table the others' phones went off.
Chin looked at their two new friends. "Sorry guys we gotta go, it's work."
"Hey Kamekona you wouldn't mind taking Grace and Charlie for me would you, take'em back home or to your place?" Danny asked.
"Nah brah, I can take'em. I'll bring'em back to you when you call." Danny nodded graciously and hugged and kissed his kids' goodbye.
As the three confirmed LEOs were leaving the shrimp truck Kono turned and called out to Tony and Jaecyon. "You guys should stop by the Palace sometime and meet Steve and Lou, I think you'd like'em."
"We should, maybe we will Kono." With that said Kono hopped into her cousin's car and Danny slid into the driver's seat of his Camaro and peeled out and toward the Palace. "Hey you okay man. You look down."
Tony looked at his unfinished plate of shrimp. Suddenly not all that hungry anymore. "Yeah, I'm fine hey Kamekona can I get this to go please thanks." Food boxed up for later, Jaecyon and Tony headed back to Jaecyon's apartment. The drive was silent, much like the drive over to the beach, but this was a different silent. Tony was in one of his moods.
Jaecyon busied himself with house chores getting the room set up for Tony and stuff before he said anything to the other man. "Tony the guest room's all set up for you. Whenever you want it, and I'm just down the hall if you need me." Tony nodded his thanks to his friend, and continued to stand in the living room, his phone still clutched in his hands.
Tony ended up outside sitting on a stretch of grass, with lawn chairs not too far away from the apartment. He didn't know how he got out here. He doesn't remember walking out here. Tony dialed his brothers' number almost automatically.
He looked at his watch and quietly swore. It was 2000 here or 8 p.m. meaning it would be 2300 or 11 p.m. in California. His brother answered immediately, readily though, as if he was waiting for the call. 'Probably was.' Tony thought. 'Oops.'
"Tony, you okay are you hurt?" Jason rambled on asking questions. 'What no I'm fine' Tony thought to himself.
"No, Jase I'm okay sorry I didn't call earlier, when I landed, Jaecyon was here picked me up and we've been out all day. Just wanted to talk to the kids' tell'em I love'em and I miss'em. You'll do that for me, right?"
"Yeah, yeah course I will Tony, you sure you're all good bro. I know how you get sometimes."
"I'm fine honest." Tony told his brother a bit more forcefully.
"Okay, I'm just checking. Look I'm about to crash myself, talk tomorrow yeah, we can FaceTime say, 0900 your time. Kids'll be up by then."
"Sounds good to me Jason." Tony said quietly trying to stifle a yawn.
He'd just shut his eyes for minute, just rest his eyes. Jaecyon came out and saw Tony in the lawn chair and helped him back inside. Jaecyon bid Tony goodnight, and went to his room. Tony went to the guest bedroom, but he couldn't sleep. Didn't sleep too much on his mind. Izzy, Abby, Ziva. More Izzy and how he missed her now more than ever, then either of the other two women in life.
Well that's it for Chapter 6 hope it was up to everyone's expectations. Hit that review button drop a comment down below, let me know what you thought. I know kind of crappy ending I think, but it's late or rather early where I am, so that is all. Hope you enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I did writing it.
To everyone who has submitted an OC that I accepted. I just need two more bits of information from you for your OC's. Send it in a PM titled Your OC's name: Skills and Deficiencies. Thnx.
Skills (4 Things your OC is good at that is work related and 4 things your OC is good at that isn't work related):
Deficiencies (Same goes for deficiencies 4 Things they aren't good at work related, and 4 things your OC is not good at that isn't work related):
