Tony went to autopsy to see Ducky and Palmer. He said "Hey Duck man, black lung."

Ducky said "Anthony I am sorry to see you go but I know that the FBI will be lucky to have you. I won't forget how kind you were to mother and how you put up with those wretched dogs of hers so well."

Tony smiled. "I think Contessa kind of liked me after a while when I groomed her."

He said "My bottom desk drawer has something for you in it. You do have a DVD player?"

Ducky nodded. "Yes I do. There are quite a few good British comedies out that I like to watch."

Tony smiled. "Well then you'll like what's upstairs for you. "

He said "Black Lung, in the right hand second drawer of my desk is something for you as well. You've been a good friend and always listened."

Palmer smiled. "Thank you Tony, you have my cell number and if you need anything when you're not here call me."

Tony nodded. "I will, don't forget once a month burger and beer day. We will have that one weekend like we do now. "

Jimmy smiled. "Good I will look forward to it." "Did Ziva really do what I heard she did to you with the radio?"

Tony shrugged. "Yes she did. Just helped me make my mind up to move on from here. I don't know what punishment she will get from this and I don't care. I cannot work with someone who doesn't have my back in the field."

"I know she blackmailed McGee into helping her by threatening his sister Sarah because Abby let her practice her forensics tests here and also let her use some of her old study guides to help her. Vance knew and so did her professor at Georgetown."

Palmer sighed. "Threatening family is against my rule 5, you don't go there. Did Ziva really even want to like us or was it just a front?"

Tony shrugged. "I don't know but just watch your six, I'm worried about her eating McGee alive here so keep me informed if she does. I'll get him out of here too."

Palmer said "I'll keep an eye on him. I can't imagine Gibbs is happy he is losing you."

Tony said "He knows I need to do it for my safety and sanity. I look for some changes to happen with the team. I don't think it's going to remain the same."

"Oh I may even get a dog with my new job. Belgian Malinois. Thinking of calling her Six." "Here's a picture. She's in her training now. They asked me if I wanted to profile as well as handle an explosives sniffing dog and I said why not. Last of her litter, has a little Rottweiler in her too so she will be good protection at my new house. Once I am settled, everybody will be invited for a barbecue and you can meet my new team."

Ducky said "That looks like a beautiful animal and one who will be good for your life. You need some kind of family. "

Tony smiled. "You're right I do. I have a woman in my life who is good for me and has a rescue cat. She may be making a new home with me in Quantico. We will see though, right now Emily is good for me and we are going one day at a time. Met her at an old movie marathon one Sunday and well we clicked. Best of Spencer Tracy."

Palmer smiled. "That is so you. Hope we get to meet her."

Tony nodded. "You will. I want that."

Then he said goodbye to both of them and got back on the elevator.

One of the girls in the mailroom was on it and handed him some gerbera daisies. "I wanted to wish you good luck Tony. The bullpen isn't going to be the same in the morning."
He smiled. "Thank you Nicole. Everybody has to move on and now is the time for me."

She nodded. "Just for you I am going to misfile Ziva's mail for a while."

He winked at her. "That's my girl, if you ever want to move to the BAU, Gibbs has my cell number. I am sure they have openings in their mailroom for a good manager."

She nodded. "I'll think about it but thank you."
