A/N – Hey guys so sorry about the lack of update
As I said in a previous Chapter, I have been studying for my A-Levels, which finish on Friday
Today I had a rough English Lit exam, so rather than spending my evening revising for my Film Studies exam, I shall relax…
Thankyou to reviewers as well
Just note, I'm not too keen on this chapter... so... erm...
Enjoy x
There was silence in the elevator on the way down to Abby's lab, Gibbs knows what it's like to lose a kid and even though Tony probably wouldn't exactly feel those same emotions, due to the fact he never knew her, he still knew that nothing could make you feel better in this situation…
As the elevator does opened, Tony was immediately knocked down by Abby's hug.
"Oh my God Tony, are you OK??" said a concerned Abby, then she noticed the look on Gibb's face and quickly changed the subject and she muttered "right erm…well" as she made her way back to her computer, where McGee was sat.
"Today Abby", Tony snapped as he and Gibbs followed her into the lab.
Tony felt the familiar palm on the back of his head and he sighed, "sorry Abby". Abby was rather shocked at this, so disposed of the scientific babble and just spat it out
"er…yes", she didn't know how else to put it… she felt useless towards Tony.
Silence
"Erm… Boss??"
"Yes McGee?"
"Well, the E-mail was difficult to trace because of the different…" Gibbs stopped him.
"Tim, please, just give us the human version"
"When I thought I finally had it I was blocked by an FBI server"
"come again?"
"the FBI have a tab on the computer and/or laptop that sent Tony this e-mail"
Just then, Gibb's phone rang, "yeah, Gibbs"
Without talking, he shut off his phone and muttered "about time…Tony… come with me"
Ziva was sat in Jen's office, she didn't know what to do, or say to Tony that would make him feel better so she decided to talk to Jen…
But it there was more silence than anything else.
"You love him, don't you?"
"How can you tell?"
"You seem more shocked than he does at the moment and, well, it was like with Roy…"
"please…stop…" she couldn't take anymore of this and began to leave…
"Ziva?"
"Yes…Director?"
Jen handed her a folder
"I managed to find some intel on Zachary Phillips while he was in prison, maybe you can brief the team… maybe if you dig a little deeper you might find something"
"Thank you"
Ziva walked out of Jen's office and began to quickly look through the file, it was not very reassuring.
Gibbs made his way out of the elevator with Tony following, and sat in Gibb's chair was an all too familiar face…Fornell.
"So tell me Jethro, why were you trying to hack into the computer of one of our undercover operatives"
"I don't know Tobias, why is your undercover agent sending e-mails with death threats and ransom being the subject?"
Tony decided that enough was enough and slammed his hands down on the desk just as McGee and Ziva were joining them in the bullpen. The noise quietened down.
"Look. OK, a girl is out there that needs saving, she needs our help and you two are bantering like an old married couple!"
"DiNozzo, if I ever see you lose control like that again…"
"I know. Boss, sorry Boss, sorry guys it's just…"; Tony sighs as he sits down in his chair with his head in his hands.
Fornell broke the silence, "Well, I have a few answers, but not a lot"
"As do I", sighed Ziva, with the folder in her hand.
Tony looked up at her, their eyes met again, he was glad she was there, just being there made him feel better than whatever Gibbs and/or Abby could say.
"Well… do you need an invitation??" yelled Gibbs as Fornell and Ziva started setting up the data to be put on the plasmas.
"And McGee?"
"Yeah Boss"
"Get me some coffee"
