As soon as Gibbs, Abby and DiNozzo had left Jenny Shepard had been on the phone. She had tried to get any information about this mystical place that her employees had gone to. There had been nothing. That meant she had to use more drastic measures. Jenny had smiled to herself as she thought back on what she had done. After all these years she hadn't worked her way to the top without knowing where some skeletons were buried. So she started to talk to those with things to hide, she also called in favours that were owed. While she was doing that Jenny had spread the word about DiNozzo. She portrayed him in a very negative light. The accusations she had come up with would need to be looked into. It would ruin his career, even with just the rumours. Then, Gibbs would come home to her.

Jenny wasn't stupid she also had Ziva on the case. Ziva wanted to know where her team-mates had gone. She wanted Gibbs back as well. He was the only man she trusted and would work for. Ziva had gone to her father, so he would get in touch with his contacts. They had eyes all over the world.

Then, of course, there was McGee. He was doing his best to find out where Abby was. He still thought that she couldn't take care of herself. So he was trying to find her in cyber world. Jenny supported him, in an unofficial capacity.

'Son of a bitch.' Tony growled as he stormed through Atlantis.

McKay watched him with concern. He waited until Tony had stopped on one of the balconies, and went over to join him.

'What's up?' McKay asked quietly.

'It never fucking ends.' Tony sighed.

'What's going on?'

'I found out that the Director of NCIS has been trying to find out about this place. Which has nothing to do with me, but she has also added a list of unsubstantiated charges that all link back to me. If it's not cleared up, if I go back to Earth looking for work, it could cause me problems. As in I could never get work in this field ever again.'

'But you're innocent when I next go back; I'll see what I can do.' McKay then looked thoughtful for a moment. 'You also might get killed and never make it back to Earth.'

Tony looked at McKay and burst out laughing. 'Thank you Rodney.'

Rodney patted Tony on the shoulder uncomfortably. 'Ok.'

Sam had never been so angry. Tony had been good for Atlantis. He had also helped secure ongoing help from other planets with his out of the box thinking. Once word got around, and it would. Anyone going back to Earth would be looking for blood. She felt that way as well. What she needed to do was get it sorted out. Sam smirked she would get someone to deal with it for her. She couldn't wait to contact the SGC.

McGee picked up the phone as soon as it started to ring. He and Ziva were on cold cases until they got a new team leader and senior field agent. He'd applied for the SFA job but hadn't heard anything back yet. It seemed technically he had been covering the position, but not actually been promoted to it.

'McGee.' He looked over at Ziva. 'Yes, we'll be both straight up.'

'What is it McGee?'

'That was Cynthia; we've been called up the director's office for a meeting.' He explained.

Ziva grinned at him. 'They may want us for a mission.'

McGee grinned this could be the chance to show people what he's made of.

The door opened and stood in one corner was SecNav Clayton Jarvis.

Jenny looked at them. 'Sit down please.'

McGee and Ziva looked at each other. They then sat down and waited to find out what was going on.

Jarvis turned around and stared at them all. 'I was called to the White House today, to speak to the president.' He paused and took a deep breath. 'I have never been as embarrassed as I was today, by what I heard you three had been up to.'

'Sir, I …' Jenny started to speak.

'Don't interrupt me. When we send people on missions or jobs in which you need a certain security level that should be it. I don't expect people to call in favours, blackmail, make things up about co-workers, and go to their father the Director of Mossad or to search illegally through computers.' He shouted.

'Those things about Agent DiNozzo were passed to me.' Jenny tried again, but stopped when Jarvis' glared at her.

'I have more than 100 people that have all signed paperwork, which stated he was nowhere near Washington when these allegations took place. So unless you have actual physical proof you will withdrawal that statement and offer Agent DiNozzo a full apology. This is an agent that the president knows about. He is an agent who is showing NCIS in a very good light. At least someone is. Now this is your only warning if I hear anything about any of you continuing this you will either lose your jobs or your liaison position. Is that clear?'

'Yes sir.' All three of them mumbled.

'Good, this better be the last time I hear about this.' Jarvis ordered, and waited for their nods. He then turned and walked out of the office. The door slammed behind him.

Jenny's eyes hardened. She knew that DiNozzo had something to do with this.

'Get out.' She ordered.

McGee and Ziva nodded and left the office quickly.

'There goes that SFA position.' McGee muttered.

'We must keep our heads up for the moment McGee until things quiet down.'

McGee stared at her for the moment. 'Oh you mean keep our heads down, and yeah I think that'll be a good idea.'

'Tony.' Abby screeched, she ran and hugged him.

'What's going on?' Tony hugged her back, and frowned at Gibbs who had been with her.

'We've just found out about what Jenny did.' Gibbs explained. 'Sam thought you would like to hear from us that SecNav has been in touch with her. He wasn't happy being dragged to the White House, and listening to the president.'

'The president spoke to SecNav about me?' Tony looked at them completely surprised.

'He gets updates how things are going here. You have had glowing recommendations. You have helped beyond you job specification Tony.' Sam added as she walked over. 'You've helped us have good relationships with other planets. There were three people within NCIS were pushing about where you all had gone to. They have all be warned off, or lose their jobs. There will be no other chances.'

Gibbs and Abby turned to each other and shrugged their shoulders. They had no idea what that was about.

'Well, actually for once I am speechless.'

'Tony,' Teyla stopped and bowed her head. 'I did not mean to interrupt.'

'You haven't Teyla.' Sam smiled at the other woman. 'Tony if you want more details come and see me.'

'Thanks Sam, I will.' Tony grinned at her, and then turned back to Teyla. 'What can I do for you?'

'I have been to see my people on the land. They are wondering when they could start things up again?'

Gibbs glared as Lorne placed his hand on Tony's shoulder.

'They aren't the only ones. Some not so polite queries from some of the personnel here, we've also had messages through from some of the other planets as well.'

'I have actually started to sort things out. I finalise things ASAP and let everyone know.'

'Thank you Tony. It is good to have you back home. We are also glad you brought others to join us.' Teyla smiled at Gibbs and Abby. She turned placed a hand on Tony and bowed. Tony did the same to her.

Lorne winked at Tony. 'I'll spread the word.'

Gibbs continued to glare as the soldier walked away. He then turned his gaze back to Tony.

'What are they talking about?' Abby asked.

Tony flashed that devastating smile he had at them.
