IV

Three weeks.

It has been three whole weeks since he has been in the hospital and he hated it.

Tony was sitting on his bed in his hospital room casually flicking through the channels on the TV. He didn't get it. Why was he even still in the hospital?

He could use his arm just fine. Well, to do some things. Like brushing his teeth, eating and even doing other more personal things having to do with his hygiene.

Sure, he couldn't drive or even dress himself, and so what if he had rehab every two days and therapy every three days, and on top of that he would have continue rehab for another three weeks and had to do special exercise everyday for at least a month, but he was well enough to take care of himself. At home.

He sighed.

He knew that he was being discharged later that day but God be was tired of the hospital.

The door opened and Ducky walked in.

Tony sighed again.

Everybody was visiting him regularly and they tried to cheer him up but their presence only served one purpose. To remind him that life was moving on with him.

"Hey Ducky."

"Good morning Anthony."

Tony was about to ask the older man more about the new director but as usual Ducky was already going into another of his stories.

"Excuse me my dear boy but I must ask did you see that silly fellow dressed as a clown roaming the hallways. Yes it does remind me of that time when I was in…, uum what was it, second or third form. Another lad and myself snuck to see the gypsies at a carnival. We were quite enjoying ourselves when a clown…"

Tony blocked him out. He didn't have any interest in Ducky's clown story but he also didn't mind the background noise.

Later that same day

Tony walked into his apartment.

It felt strange to do so after being in the hospital for so long.

He threw himself down on his sofa and flicked on the TV. An ad for Papa John's flashed on and Tony realized he was starving.

He grabbed the phone from the base and dialed his favorite pizza place and placed an order for a medium pepperoni and sausage pizza.

He was halfway through a tivoed baseball game and his pizza when he realized something. He was bored.

He sighed and was about to call McGee when he remember that he had work to look forward to on Monday. Only three days away.

Sure he was only going to be on desk duty for another three days, but at least he'd be at work.

Monday

The elevator doors opened and Tony was greeted by a shrill scream and was pulled into a tight hug as he stepped out of it.

"I missed you soooo much!" Abby announced as he gasped for air.

She let him go after a few second and then he was able to reply, "Missed me? But you came to see me at the hospital nearly every day.

"Yeah, but Tony that's different. I missed you at work. We all missed you," she told him tugging at the sling he was forced to wear, "Just ask McGee."

"Is that right Probie? Did you guys miss me?" he asked McGee who was walking over to them followed closely by Kate.

McGee shrugged, "Personally your absence will be missed." He said smiling, "Kate is the one who kept looking over at your desk every two minutes."

"Hey!" Kate said sounding out raged, "I was just making sure he wasn't just going appear out of nowhere and give us one of his lame movie quotes." She said.

Tony pouted, "My movie quotes aren't lame," he defended, "if anything is lame is that stupid excuse.

Kate smile and moved to sit behind her desk.

They all talked for a few more minutes, mostly about Tony's rehab and then Abby scurried off to her lab and the three agents settled behind their desks.

Kate and McGee were finishing up paper work from their last case while Tony was in the hospital and Tony was checking his email when Gibbs walked in.

"Grab your gear," he announced, "Second Lieutenant found dead in a public swimming pool."

Tony automatically reached for his SIG and was attaching it to his hip.

"Sit the hell down DiNozzo," Gibbs said from the elevator.

Tony sank into his chair as he watched the doors closed behind Kate, Gibbs and McGee.

This was going to be a long three weeks.

He turned his attention back to his computer and opened an email from an old college buddy. A picture popped up of the guy surrounded by five leggy blonds.

Tony read the message and smiled.

Wish you and some the other guys were here.

Music, liquor and lots of sex.

Amsterdam is one big party.

Don't you wish you were me right now?

-Mike

The message was dated from about sixteen days ago so Mike wouldn't be there anymore.

"I always wanted to see Amsterdam." He whispered to himself before moving onto the next message.
