NCIS –Run Down

FallenQueen2: Thank for the reviews and I hope you all like the offer Tony got and now the plot is moving along.

Part Four

Tony DiNozzo uncapped his bottle of beer falling back onto his couch and stared at the blank TV screen in front of him. He sighed running his free hand through his brown hair, spiking it up slightly. He had no idea what he was supposed to do now, he was not expecting that offer and to be honest he was seriously considering taking the offered position.

-Flashback-

"Here he is Director, I'll be down in the bullpen Tony." Fornell nodded opening the doors to the director's office.

"Thanks Toby." Tony smiled and ducked out of the way of the playful smack Fornell aimed his way.

"Come in Agent DiNozzo." The Director of the FBI waved in the young man. Tony entered the office that looked very similar to Jenny's back in NCIS but with more personal touches. "Sit down please."

"Thank you sir." Tony slid into one of the seats in front of the desk.

"Ah you don't have to be so formal, call me Jake." Director Jake held out his hand and Tony shook it cheerily.

"Then you can call me Tony." Tony smiled back.

"Alright then Tony, I have to tell you I had an ulterior motive for doing this exchange today. I do feel bad for Sacks but I needed to have a face to face with you. I have an offer to well offer you." Jakes leaned onto his desk.

"An offer Jake?" Tony raised an eyebrow, now getting curious. Sure he had gotten many letters from many agencies offering him positions in their agencies but a director of one has never went through so much trouble to offer him one face to face.

"Yes Tony, an offer. After having an discussion with the directors of Interpol, DEA, Custom's and SecNav himself we have come up with an offer for you. We want you to lead a new agency that the five of us are underway of creating. It will contain only the best of the best agents from each agency to form one task force." Jakes explained.

"And you all want ME to lead this new agency?" Tony stared in shock at Jakes.

"Yes, we all decided that you will be the best option for director of this new agency." Jakes assured Tony.

"What are the details?" Tony asked his curiosity aroused.

"We are still working out the kinks but the HQ will be out of Rome, Italy." Jakes informed him.

"Italy? So if I were to take this job I would have to move to Italy?" He couldn't help but sit up straighter at the thought of moving back to Italy.

"Yes, but only if you want this position." Jakes said. "And I strongly suggest you take this offer Tony, I've been keeping tabs on you over at NCIS and I do not like what I am seeing and hearing. You deserve better than what you are getting from the director and your team."

"Thank you for the offer sir, could I possibly have some time?" Tony bit his lower lip, lowering his head a bit.

"Of course, the agency won't be released to the rest of the agencies until it is fully formed, you will have plenty of time to decide." Jake told him calmly.

"Alright, thank you Jake." Tony smiled and they shook hands again.

"Now go have fun with Tobias, you deserve a day off." Jakes waved his hand and Tony laughed before nodding his goodbye leaving the office and joined Fornell in the FBI bullpen.

"So how long do you think Sacks will manage to stick it out?" Fornell asked the NCIS agent who sat down beside Sacks' desk.

"Two or three hours max." Tony smirked.

"I think he will be back in less than an hour." Fornell smirked back.

"$20 says your wrong." Tony grinned.

"You're on." Fornell and Tony shook hands on it.

-End Flashback-

How the hell was he going to make this choice? This position was probably be the best thing that will come his way in his whole lifetime and he would be stupid to pass it up, but…

-Knock, Knock, Knock-

Someone banged on his front door. He swore if this was Gibbs demanding to know where Tony had been all day he was going to just shut the door in his face, probably get a head slap tomorrow morning but it would be worth it. Tony walked over to the door; beer in hand as he opened the door expecting Gibbs but getting the impression of two largely built men in suits.

"Hello Agent DiNozzo." One of them growled and their arms reached out, latching onto Tony causing him to drop his beer. It shattered against the floor, Tony didn't know who they were so his reflexes kicked in. Well his leg kicked out making contact with the second man's groin causing at least one of the sets of hands to disappear. Tony twisted around in the remaining grip, lashing out with his fists and elbows.

"Didn't tell us he would be tough to grab, drug him." The one who was kneeling on the ground while Tony managed to get out of the grip and ran out of his apartment, he took the stairwell and with his heart beating hard he exited out onto the street, fumbling around for his phone. He managed to get it out and he hit speed dial one out of habit, he held it to his ear as he looked around in panic.

"Gibbs." Was the answer on the other side of the phone.

"Boss!" Tony gasped.

"Tony! Are you alright?" Gibbs' worried voice asked quickly.

"I'm not sure, someone sent thugs after me. I don't know why and I'm kind of freaking out Boss." Tony tried to calm down.

"Tony, listen to me. Get to the Navy Yard as quickly as you can, I'll meet you there. Stay out of sight and be careful!" Gibbs ordered.

"On it Boss…Ugh!" Tony grunted as an arm went around his throat, he dropped his phone on the ground so his hands could try to pry the arm off his throat.

"Stay still DiNozzo." The man growled before Tony felt a prick on his neck and a numb feeling spread over his body. His body went slack in his captor's arms, eyes closing and the world faded away into muffled noises.
