She sat up quickly and raced over to his desk, in enough time to grab his wrist before he put the paper back in his pocket.

Gibbs head shot up. "Quit playing around over there…we got a murder to solve."

Tony pulled his arm back and they tussled for a few seconds, just then Ziva fell off balance and fell over the corner of his desk onto the floor. "Ah." She let out as she grabbed her elbow on impact.

Tony slipped the paper in his pocket before going to her aide. McGee and Gibbs seemed to arrive faster than he did.

"What the hell was that about DiNozzo?" Gibbs barked, lifting Ziva off the ground and looking over her elbow.

"He is hiding something Gibbs." She pointed with her good arm at his pants.

"I am not boss, drop it Ziva…I mean it." He spoke with an angry tone and Gibbs didn't like it.

"Cool it DiNozzo." He put his hand up. "McGee…take Ziva to see Ducky."

"But Gibbs…" Ziva began but was cut short.

"Not butts, go now…." He shooed them towards the elevator and motioned to everyone in the office. "Nothing to see here." He then snapped his head back towards Tony who was giving Ziva a bona-fide death stare as she left. He grabbed his chin and brought his focus to back to Gibbs glare.

"What is going on with you Tony…and if you say nothing, so help me…"

Tony shook his head. "Nothing."

Gibbs started to become angrier. "You trying to test me?"

He stepped closer to Gibbs. "Is it working?"

"You bet it is. Now give me a reason."

"Back off boss, not today."

Gibbs sighed. "What the hell is today DiNozzo? You care to fill me in?"

"You don't want to know." He eased off a bit, but Gibbs closed the distance back by stepping towards him.

"Don't test me then back off Tony…don't you know you can't do that to a marine?"

"Boss listen, I don't want to hurt you."

Gibbs was confused but stood in front of him unshaken. "You can't hurt me DiNozzo."

"Don't be so sure." He started to breathe deep, and the two stood there inches from each others faces.

Gibbs then grabbed Tony's arm, twisted it behind his back and pushed his face onto the top of his desk. After gaining control of him, he reached his hand into Tony's pocket and pulled out what was inside. When he had what he wanted he released him. It was then a crowd started to form.

Tony regained his composure and straightened up his shirt. "Give it back boss...it doesn't concern you."

Gibbs considered returning it then stared at him intently. "Whatever the hell is on this paper has you on the brink of losing your job, not to mention your mind…if it doesn't concern me then I'm George Washington."

He began to open the sheet when Tony lunged at him, taking both of them to the ground. It wasn't long before Agents were able to separate them. Gibbs retained the paper.

As he gathered himself he watched Tony's facial expression change from anger to concern. "Boss please…" He held out his hand. "Give it back…I'll leave right now for good…just please give it back to me."

Gibbs looked at him, as a Father would his child. He wanted to respect his wishes, but he had to do what was best for him. No matter how Tony would react.

"Watch him." Gibbs pointed to the Agents to ensure Tony remained still. He slid open the sheet of paper and read it slowly. When he was through he paced over to Tony and motioned that the group disperse back to what they were doing.

Tony's head hung low and Gibbs swore he was fighting back tears.

"Tell me something DiNozzo...Tell me how an order for you to kill me, is none of my concern?"
