Author's Note: Not sure if the resignation letter should have gone to Gibbs, or Vance, so I picked Gibbs.

Gibbs looked at Tony as he made his way to his desk and sat down. He put his cup down and sat down then he stared at the envelope at his desk. He knew it came from Tony because of his handwriting. He opened it and stared at the writing.

"DiNozzo, office now." Gibbs stood up with the envelope in his hand. He watched as Tony looked up and then at the envelope in his hand. He knew what this was about. Gibbs could see that David and McGee watching them curiously.

Tony got up and followed his boss into the elevator and then watched him press the stop button.

"What is up with this?" Gibbs said as the held up the envelope with Tony's handwriting.

"It is my resignation letter."

"You are not resigning."

"I am and you're not stopping me."

"Why are you resigning?" Asked Gibbs because he really wanted to find out if he would tell him about his father.

"Because it's time for me to quit. I lasted here for six years already. I overstayed my welcome and it's time for me to leave."

"No. You are not leaving."

"Yes, I am and you can't stop me."

"Do you really want to leave?"

"Yes, I do."

"No, you don't Tony."

"How do you know this? You don't know what I'm thinking." Yelled Tony

"Who were those people that came to see you yesterday?" Asked Gibbs and he hoped that he wouldn't lie to him.

"Nobody, boss."

"Don't give me nobody, DiNozzo. I know."

"Know what?" Tony said as he jerked his head towards Gibbs.
