***<\/p>\n

It had been six months since Tony just disappeared and Jethro Gibbs was still pissed. The moment he found his wayward agent, he was going to get smacked and dragged back home where he belonged.<\/p>\n

He glanced around the plane at his team. He snorted silently. Who was he kidding? They hadn’t been a team since Kate died and it completely fell apart after Tony left. Ziva still acted like she was a free agent. McGee had reverted back to scared geek and Special Agent William Samuel Henderson the Third, known as Buddy to his friends was an ass. He resented the fact Madam Director forced him on to his team.<\/p>\n

He missed Tony. His humor, smile, people skills, the fact he could do the job, and just him. He should have realized when he walked out the door after the ‘dinner’ incident, he was gone. Maybe he should add a third B to his name. One Bastard didn’t cover it.<\/p>\n

“When do we get there?” Buddy whined.<\/p>\n

“When the plane lands,” Gibbs growled.<\/p>\n

Once again his team was hijacked for her cases. Captain Morrison was a witness to a murder up in Virginia. Captain Morison’s father was a friend of William Samuel Henderson the Second, also known as Senator Henderson. So Gibbs was sent down to Miami personally to pick him up and bring him back to DC.<\/p>\n

Forget dragging Tony back maybe he will just find him and join him where ever the hell he is.<\/p>\n

Miami<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gibbs wasn’t happy. He glared at the cop that stood in front of him.<\/p>\n

“I don’t care if you’re the President. No one gets into that house until Lieutenant Caine shows up,” Tripp glared at the agent.<\/p>\n

“We’re here to see Captain Morison,” Buddy pointed out.<\/p>\n

“Isn’t that nice.” Tripp rolled his eyes. “What part of \u2018this is a crime scene\u2019 do you not understand?”<\/p>\n

“We’re NCIS \u2013 Navy Criminal Investigation Service.” Ziva held her badge. “Our job is to investigate crimes\u2026”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I heard you the first three times.” The Texan had never been so happy to see the Hummer pull up. “And as I said before. There is only one Marine in there, the other five victims are Miami citizens. You will have to wait and talk with the redhead.”<\/p>\n

“Maybe Gibbs will woo her\u2026” Buddy paused as the older man stepped in front of them. “Or not.”<\/p>\n

“Can I help you gentlemen, ma’am?” Horatio pulled up his phone and sent out a text message to his team. “Tripp has my team been called?”<\/p>\n

“On their way,” Tripp responded. “I think I hear Speed’s bike.”<\/p>\n

“Special Agent Gibbs.” Horatio grinned at the slight shock expression that filtered over the older man’s face. “This investigation will be done by my team. I will allow your lab to help with processing, and your ME can chat with my ME.”<\/p>\n

“Captain Morison\u2026” Ziva began.<\/p>\n

“Is one of six dead,” Horatio said. “If your agents actually have some people skills maybe you can chat with the neighbors.” Horatio looked down at his phone then added, “Agent McGee can help with the investigation if that’s good for you.”<\/p>\n

“How do you know my team?” Gibbs asked, even though he knew. The roar of a mustang confirmed it.<\/p>\n

Horatio grinned. “My CSIs have great recruiting techniques.”<\/p>\n

Speed walked up to the small group. “H?”<\/p>\n

Horatio looked up to see Eric and Tony walking up behind him. Tony didn’t seem too nervous or upset. “I want you and Tony to photograph and sketch. Eric, check the perimeter. Calleigh, check the house. Agent McGee will be with you.”<\/p>\n

Tony nodded and turned to Gibbs. “Hey boss.”<\/p>\n

“Tony.” Gibbs couldn’t help but smile. He really did miss him.<\/p>\n

“Come on probie let’s go.” He motioned to the house.<\/p>\n

“I’m not on probation any more.” McGee stated as he followed Tony.<\/p>\n

“Here you are,” Tony grinned as he put his arm around him. “Besides you’ll always be my probie.”<\/p>\n

Arriving at the scene<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tony looked down at his pager. He glanced over at Eric. \u201cDidn\u2019t we already get paged to the crime scene?\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric tensed when he saw the message.<\/p>\n

Tony looked over towards him. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNCIS \u2013 Gibbs,\u201d Eric read the message.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d Tony paused. \u201cI guess one day it had to happen. Let H know that we only work with McGee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric replied back to H, and then looked over at the new CSI. \u201cYou okay?\u201d he asked laying his hand on Tony\u2019s knee.<\/p>\n

He gave the Cuban a bright smile. \u201cYes, as long as you\u2019re here.\u201d He squeezed his hand. \u201cThat and I can\u2019t wait to see Horatio and Gibbs go at it. Oh and Alexx.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric laughed. \u201cWe\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony got out of the car, slipped on his MDPD hat, grabbed his kit, and walked towards the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey boss.\u201d It was good to see Gibbs, despite everything. Though he noticed instantly that Gibbs looked older, more tired.<\/p>\n

Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTony?\u201d Horatio walked up to his newest CSI.<\/p>\n

Tony grinned, it was amazing how Horatio could ask so many questions in that one small statement. \u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

He cocked his head slightly, eyebrow raised. \u201cI don\u2019t believe that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony gave him a true smile. In the past six months the team had been nothing but supportive. He admittedly was a bit surprised when he woke up to find out Speed not only had a lover, but said lover had no issues with the fact that Tony had spent the night. Though Horatio had made it quite clear. He didn\u2019t mind sharing Speed for one night, but the younger man belonged to the redhead. And the brunet didn\u2019t mind. He gave everything to Horatio and the older man took care of him in return. Part of him was extremely jealous, what he wouldn\u2019t give to have that.<\/p>\n

It had taken one trip to the lab for him to make the decision. In less than three days \u2013 Tony had sent in his resignation and arranged for his stuff to be packed and moved. He hadn\u2019t regretted it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly H, I\u2019m fine,\u201d Tony assured him. \u201cIt had to happen sooner or later. Though make sure I\u2019m in the same room when Alexx\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nerve of that man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaking of…\u201d The ex-agent turned towards the ME. \u201cAlexx, I take it you met Gibbs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSugar, you are so much better off with us.\u201d She smiled at the younger man and then fumed, \u201che just stormed into my autopsy and demanded a report.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two men cringed; no one \u2013 repeat no one \u2013 demanded anything from Alexx. \u201cYou did leave him alive didn\u2019t you?\u201d Horatio smiled at her.<\/p>\n

Her eyebrow rose. \u201cI didn\u2019t lay a finger on him. Just gave him a piece of my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho?\u201d Speed walked up to the small group.<\/p>\n

\u201cGibbs and Alexx,\u201d Tony said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I missed it, damn \u201d The brunette smiled at the team\u2019s mom.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoney, I just told him that if he thought he could bark and yell and get his way he had another thing coming,\u201d Alexx said. \u201cThen I told him if he messed with my boys he would answer to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a sick part of me that wishes to see that.\u201d Tony looked over at Speed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know,\u201d Speed responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaking of reports?\u201d Horatio asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere you go honey.\u201d She handed him the report. \u201cEveryone killed by a single gun shot to the head.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExecution style,\u201d Tony said. \u201cYou think the Captain was the target?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Speed answered.<\/p>\n

Horatio turned towards his lover, \u201cWhat makes you say that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe place was robbed. Eric was able to pull their insurance policy to see what valuables they had.\u201d Speed handed Horatio his report. \u201cThe Sampsons were a very wealthy family. The Captain was down visiting his fianc\u00e9e, Amanda.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow much is missing?\u201d Horatio glanced over the inventory.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything small and of high value, including Amanda\u2019s engagement ring,\u201d Speed answered. \u201cI think our Captain was a victim, just like the rest of the family, of a home invasion, not any type of conspiracy to take out a witness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you shown this to NCIS?\u201d Horatio asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d Speed shrugged. \u201cWhy would I tell them? No offense Tony\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat isn\u2019t my team,\u201d Tony sighed. It had taken him less than a minute to realize that the team he once knew was gone. McGee was the scared kid once again. Ziva was even more of a bully and, he shook his head, don\u2019t even get him started on the new guy.<\/p>\n

\u201cH.\u201d Eric looked extremely upset. \u201cThere\u2019s a conference call for you. Seems the NCIS director isn\u2019t happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy am I not surprised?\u201d Tony rolled his eyes then grinned. \u201cCan I be there? Oh, please let me be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horatio smiled at the younger man. \u201cI think the NCIS director needs to understand we work as a team here in Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLieutenant Caine\u2026\u201d Director Sheppard started the conversation coolly.<\/p>\n

\u201cDirector Sheppard, how can I help you this afternoon?\u201d Horatio politely responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy turning over my case to Agent Gibbs,\u201d she demanded.<\/p>\n

Horatio eyebrow went up. \u201cYour case?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCaptain Morrison was essential in a case and the fact that he was killed before he could testify\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re assuming he was killed because he witnessed a murder.\u201d Horatio shook his head.<\/p>\n

Sheppard glanced over at Gibbs. \u201cThat is what had been reported to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony looked over at Gibbs; he knew Jethro would not have reported a thing without the evidence to back it up. The older man\u2019s eyes narrowed as he turned and looked at the new NCIS agent. Tony paused, the ex-Marine was pissed and \u2018Buddy\u2019 didn\u2019t seem to care. The man was either well protected or stupid.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t talked with you Jen. I’m not sure where you getting your information.\u201d Jethro turned back to the conference. \u201cAfter interviewing the neighbors the evidence was moving towards the fact this case has nothing to do with our case. Morrison was a victim of a random crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony grinned, that\u2019s his Jethro. \u201cWe have evidence that the family was the victim of a home invasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jen ignored Tony. \u201cDoesn’t change the fact that this is a NCIS case\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hell it is.\u201d Speed glared up at the woman. \u201cFive Miami citizens died, only one Marine. Just because he\u2019s the son of a Senator doesn\u2019t mean he take precedence over the other five lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeed.\u201d Horatio laid a hand on his arm.<\/p>\n

The brunette turned towards Horatio and bowed his head. \u201cSorry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay.\u201d The redhead smiled, then turned back to Director Sheppard. \u201cI don\u2019t think you understand Director Shepard. We do things differently here in Miami. We speak for those who can\u2019t, bring justice to the victims. We don\u2019t do our job at the whim of the politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jethro hid his grin. He was starting to like Lieutenant Caine. He could see why Tony would want to work for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey Speed!\u201d Abby\u2019s voice rang out from the background. \u201cI’ve got that comparison done for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jethro\u2019s head snapped up. \u201cAbby?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBossman.\u201d Her smile got bigger when she saw Tony. \u201cHey, Tony how\u2019s Miami?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood Abs, you should come down and we can go surfing, again,\u201d the ex-agent grinned.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo cool.\u201d She bounced. \u201cHey red.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horatio shook his head. \u201cAbigail, what info do you have for us?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheppard turned towards Abby. \u201cYou\u2019ve been in communication with them?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, Speedy sent me some fingerprints to run them through the military databases and also some DNA samples.\u201d She turned to Speed. \u201cThe fingerprints came back no match, the DNA is still being run.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy wasn\u2019t I informed?\u201d Jen demanded.<\/p>\n

Abby just looked at her. \u201cSince when do I have to tell you about every test I run. Besides, bossman said to work with the Miami team with the evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJethro.\u201d Jen turned towards the ex-Marine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts called inter-agency cooperation, besides this isn\u2019t related to our case, the perps aren\u2019t military so it\u2019s no longer our jurisdiction.\u201d Jethro stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Captain Morrison\u2026\u201d Buddy spoke up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat? Gets special attention because he\u2019s the son of a Senator?\u201d Speed demanded. \u201cWhat about the other five? What are your plans for them?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir deaths were tragic, but the Feds can do\u2026\u201d Ziva started to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlorida\u2019s got the death penalty,\u201d Abby pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe you should move down there,\u201d Sheppard threatened.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbby knows there\u2019s a place open for her in the lab.\u201d Horatio smiled at the hyper lab tech. \u201cThough she would have to share it with Speed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abby sighed dreamily. \u201cI do like his mass spectrometer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo touching my toys.\u201d Speed grinned at her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoratio.\u201d Calleigh stepped into the room. \u201cWe’ve got another home invasion, same MO.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s go.\u201d Horatio slipped on his glasses and left the room, followed by Tony and Speed.<\/p>\n

\u201cJethro.\u201d Jen\u2019s voice was hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe case is out of our jurisdiction. We\u2019ll be on the way home by this afternoon.\u201d Jethro moved for the exit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you to stay and make sure it\u2019s handled properly,\u201d Sheppard demanded. \u201cI\u2019m going to call a few people and get it moved to federal jurisdiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jethro turned and left the room. Retirement was starting to look really good.<\/p>\n

Next Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jethro walked through the lab, heading for Caine\u2019s office. He wanted to see if there was anything he could do to help. He had watched the redhead\u2019s team at work. It was a good team, Tony fit in perfectly. His people skills, getting the witness to talk, his smiles and flirting, pulling info from unsuspecting suspects, and he seemed to be enjoying it. Tony looked much younger; he hadn\u2019t realized the stress the younger man had been under until now.<\/p>\n

In fact the team reminded him of what his team used to be. Before Kate\u2019s death. Before Jen Sheppard decided to make his life a living hell.<\/p>\n

It had taken Tony less than a day to get McGee back to his normal self, easily fitting in with the rest of the Miami group, working out problems by discussing them. Tony had found himself a home \u2013 a family. A very protective family.<\/p>\n

Horatio watched over his crew with diligence, if there was any sign of trouble he was sniffing it out. He was there for his team; a mentor, father figure, and friend. He went in to bat for them, protected them from the higher ups, and they, in return, were fiercely loyal to the redhead.<\/p>\n

Alexx Woods was a mother hen to the extreme; he hoped to God she never met and teamed up with Ducky. She protected her family like a mother bear. Gibbs had no doubt in her mind she would hurt anyone that messed with her family. She faced him head on and that earned her a lot of respect from the older Marine.<\/p>\n

The blonde ballistics expert was a force to reckon with. He snickered when Buddy made a comment about how it was a shame such a pretty girl wasted her time on guns and that she could cock his weapon anytime. Gibbs had been ready to yell at his agent, but then stood back and watched as Calleigh ripped him a new one. She was smart, sassy, and took guff from no one \u2013 and she carried a gun. She reminded him of Kate; there were days he truly missed the ex-secret service agent.<\/p>\n

Speed was the type of man that Gibbs would watch for in the Marines, quiet and deadly. He gave the term ‘still waters run deep’ a whole new meaning. He might look scruffy and unkempt, but he knew what he was doing. Those eyes took in everything and calculated what had to be done. More than once Gibbs had caught those eyes on him, studying him.<\/p>\n

The Cuban Russian was protective and fierce. He had made it clear if Gibbs hurt one hair on Tony\u2019s head his body would disappear. It wasn\u2019t hard to figure out that the two were lovers. He wondered for how long.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgent Gibbs.\u201d Horatio looked up as his door opened.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to warn you, Jen is one pissed off woman and is on the war path.\u201d Gibbs informed him.<\/p>\n

Horatio grinned. \u201cShe assumes that as a stupid cop in Miami I have no play in federal politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe always was bad at reading people.\u201d Jethro shook his head.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike Tony?\u201d the redhead asked.<\/p>\n

The ex-Marine sighed. \u201cI screwed that up. I made a faulty judgment call\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExcluding a team member from a team function\u2026\u201d Horatio eyed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no idea Tony wasn\u2019t invited, I got forced there by Jen. I teased him about the food because I figured he had found a way out,\u201d Jethro sat down. \u201cMy bad judgment call was that I should have realized that Ziva and Jen were up to no good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you told Tony this?\u201d the Lieutenant asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t get a chance, by the time I figured what Jen was up to, he was gone.\u201d He glanced down to see Tony talking with Speed and Eric. \u201cBeen looking for him ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing to try to recruit him back?\u201d Horatio asked, voice hard. He had come to care about Tony. He had not been kidding when he told Speed that Tony reminded him of Speed in the days before the shooting. The ex-agent had been at his breaking point. In the past six months he watched the young man flourish. And lately the smile had been bright and he knew for a fact a certain Cuban Russian had something to do with it.<\/p>\n

Jethro watched Tony with Eric. His heart hurt knowing he screwed up so bad that he would now never have a chance. He knew Tony was happy here, he was in an environment were he could grow and become a fine CSI. With a team that supported him, a boss that encouraged him, a lover that loved him. What right did he have to get in the middle?<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t wish what has happened at NCIS on my worse enemy.\u201d Gibbs turned towards the redhead. \u201cHe\u2019s better off here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut?\u201d Horatio\u2019s eyebrow rose.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t help but feel you stole him.\u201d Jethro looked back. \u201cHe left and never came back. What did you do to get him to stay?\u201d<\/p>\n

Horatio grinned. \u201cSpeed and Tony are old friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeed.\u201d Tony walked up to the trace expert. \u201cI think I found a connection between the two families.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmanda and Captain Morrison had recently been engaged.\u201d Tony informed him. \u201cJulia Johnson had also recently gotten engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that connects how?\u201d Ziva asked as she walked up.<\/p>\n

Tony ignored her. \u201cThe engagement rings were bought at the same jewelry store.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWay to stake out rich clients?\u201d Speed theorized.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a weak connection,\u201d Ziva sneered. \u201cThe two families have connections in social circles also.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speed looked at her. \u201cYou are what level CSI?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a trained Moussad agent\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich means crap here.\u201d The Trace expert turned back to Tony. \u201cI know you have more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course I do.\u201d Tony was hiding his smile. He was enjoying Speed\u2019s disses on Ziva. The man\u2019s sarcastic wit was great at any time, but give him a target he just flourished. \u201cThe jewelry store recommended a wedding consultant, both women went to them. Two days before the invasions each couple had a meeting at their house with the consultants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speed grinned. \u201cIt\u2019s a start. What jewelry store?\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony looked down at the sheet. \u201cCustom Jewelers\u2026\u201d He looked down at his pager. \u201cDamn that\u2019s Valera on my rape case, can you check it out?\u201d<\/p>\n

Speed hesitated then took the sheet with the address. \u201cSure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll go with,\u201d Ziva stated. \u201cSince we are working with you on the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are?\u201d Speed blinked. \u201cWhat exactly have you done? Oh, that\u2019s right; terrorize the neighbors who actually filed a complaint against you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a joint case\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Speed growled lightly. \u201cI\u2019m driving and if you step out of line\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll what?\u201d Ziva glared. \u201cI\u2019m a trained agent, you can\u2019t even handle your own gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speed turned and walked away. Tony glared at her. \u201cGrow the fuck up.\u201d<\/p>\n

She stared at Tony in shock as he left her standing in the hallway. Her eyes narrowed at the retreating form. She had worked hard to remove her obstacle to be second in command of Gibbs team; it was easier than she thought. But it hadn\u2019t worked out like she figured; Sheppard had placed \u2018Buddy\u2019 in Tony\u2019s place. He was worse than Tony and better protected.<\/p>\n

Custom Jewelers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speed stared at the front of the shop. He was shaking, sitting on the verge of a panic attack. He hated jewelry stores ever since that fateful day, but for Custom Jewelers to be in the same location. A part of his mind had really wondered what the odds were.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou coming?\u201d Ziva snapped.<\/p>\n

The CSI took a deep breath and walked into the store. He crushed the urge to keep his hand on his weapon.<\/p>\n

\u201cNCIS I have a few questions\u2026\u201d Ziva confronted the woman who walked up to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Tamatha Henderson, how can I help you?\u201d She smiled at Ziva then turned towards Speed then paled lightly. She recognized the young man who had almost lost his life in the store. She had bought the store off Rudy for cheap, and worked hard to make it into a reputable store.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have questions about Captain Morrison\u2026\u201d Ziva began.<\/p>\n

\u201cDetective Speedle, would you like to move to my office or sit down?\u201d She asked, pulling the officer away from the lobby. Tamatha was concerned at how pale the young man was. He kept looking back down at the floor in front of him.<\/p>\n

Speed shook his head and looked at the woman. \u201cIt\u2019s okay. We have some questions about two of your clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich two?\u201d she asked walking towards her office hoping to get them out of the lobby for the detective sake.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaptain Morrison,\u201d Ziva answered.<\/p>\n

Speed rolled his eyes,.\u201cAmanda Sampson and Julia Johnson.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh yes, I read about them in the papers. They were customers here?\u201d Tamatha asked, a bit shocked. She was beginning to wonder if the place was cursed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey both bought their engagement rings here.\u201d Speed looked up when a loud noise startled him. He looked around the past and present mixing. Suddenly the back door banged open and loud voices echoed through the room.<\/p>\n

Speed turned and left the building. He bent over the small bushes and lost his breakfast. He had been seconds from pulling his gun. Everything was mixing in his mind, the sound of gunfire in his ears, a sharp pain in his chest, Horatio\u2019s soft voice begging him to hold on.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay Speed, I’ve got you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The young man looked up confused, \u201cHoratio?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTony didn\u2019t recognise the address or know about your small phobia of jewelry stores.\u201d Horatio gave him some water. \u201cThe moment he told me I got here as soon as I could.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speed rinsed his mouth out and a choked sob broke through. \u201cI almost pulled my gun. I could have hurt someone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s get you home.\u201d Horatio eased him towards the Hummer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell now I know why Tony does so well here, he\u2019s not the only pathetic agent in the bunch,\u201d Ziva sneered at the CSI.<\/p>\n

Horatio turned on the NCIS Agent his eyes hard and deadly. \u201cI trust my team with my life, can you say the same?\u201d<\/p>\n

Gibbs stared at his team. \u201cAgent David.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat? If he can\u2019t cut it, he shouldn\u2019t be working in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot everyone is perfect like you,\u201d Tony stated from the sidelines. He had helped Horatio get Speed into the Hummer then turned to his ex-team. \u201cI mean really. You drive worse than Gibbs, can shoot better than him if you tried, you’re better at interrogation, can outsmart any suspects, be a crack shot investigator without training, profile better than Kate, if you tried you’d probably be a better DNA specialist than Abby and hack into computers like McGee. When in reality you will always be under your brother’s shadow \u2013 daddy will never look to you because you\u2019re just a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat? How?\u201d Ziva stared at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh please, you thought only Gibbs knew Ari was your brother? We all knew,\u201d Tony smirked. \u201cYou\u2019re not the only one with connections, honey. Everyone at NCIS thinks you\u2019re a fucking joke. You are only there because Sheppard pushed you onto Gibbs team and he kept you around to see what the bitch was up to. If you actually thought you would be his second in command after I left, you were sadly mistaken. Because Gibbs doesn\u2019t hand his command over to kissass Moussad agents who have a hair trigger and kill suspects in their custody.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that Tony turned and walked away. Gibbs smiled at the shocked look on Ziva’s face. She obviously read people as well as Jen did.<\/p>\n

The Next Day\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we figured out which sales agent worked with both women, we were able to track down the consultants and shut down their operation,\u201d Tony said as he walked Gibbs down to the taxi.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood job.\u201d Gibbs smiled at his ex-agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a team effort.\u201d Tony shrugged.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have a good team.\u201d Jethro paused then turned and faced Tony. \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNever say you\u2019re sorry.\u201d Tony smiled. \u201cYou taught me that. I know now what happened had nothing to do with you, but instead solely Ziva and Jen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you won\u2019t come back,\u201d Gibbs said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d Tony shook his head.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ruined any chance we might have had, didn\u2019t I?\u201d Jethro\u2019s blue eyes locked with Tony\u2019s expressive hazel.<\/p>\n

Tony looked down and then back up, his eyes full of sadness and regret. \u201cI\u2019ve moved on, Jethro.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gibbs nodded and looked up the stairs towards the young man waiting for the ex-agent. \u201cWas there a chance at one time?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother place, another time,\u201d Tony said wistfully, he then put on a small smile. \u201cIt was nice working with you again, but I think you need to Gibbs-smack your team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jethro smacked Tony on the back of the head, then gently caressed the soft locks. \u201cI only smack those that I like.\u201d<\/p>\n

The younger man grinned. \u201cThen beat the shit out of \u2018Buddy\u2019 the man is annoying as hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jethro laughed. \u201cWill you keep in touch?\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony shook his head. \u201cIt\u2019s not a good idea.\u201d He looked back at Eric then turned to Jethro. \u201cI need to go and you have a plane to catch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTony\u2026\u201d Jethro paused.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never regretted meeting you or working with you. You helped me become the man I am today and for that I thank you.\u201d Tony held out his hand.<\/p>\n

Jethro took it in a strong grip, then pulled him into his arms hugging him tight. \u201cI\u2019m proud of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony stepped back tears in his eyes. \u201cThat means a lot. Goodbye.\u201d He turned and walked up the stairs to Eric.<\/p>\n

“How is Speed?” Tony asked the younger man.<\/p>\n

“Horatio has given everyone the day off, personally I think it’s just so he can go and baby his lover.” Eric smiled. “Over all he’s doing fine, still shook up. I think he’s freaked more that he almost pulled his gun, than seeing the store itself.”<\/p>\n

“Red takes good care of him,” Tony sighed.<\/p>\n

Eric pulled him out of sight of those milling around the precinct. “Let me take you home, and take care of you.”<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The moment they arrived at Tony\u2019s apartment Eric pulled him into his arms. Tony held him close, relishing the feel of his lover. The Cuban slowly began to kiss his way up Tony\u2019s long elegant neck, the ex-agent titled his head giving his lover better access. Eric moved the two of them back to the bedroom, determined to make sure Tony forgot all about NCIS and one Leroy Jethro Gibbs.<\/p>\n

Tony let his lover strip him expertly and lay him out on the bed. His hazel eyes going golden with lust as he looked up into the dark eyes of the man he had come very close too, maybe even to love.<\/p>\n

Eric quickly prepped him and slid into Tony\u2019s quivering body. Tony wrapped his long lean legs around his chest to pull him in deeper. The Miami native set a slow and easy pace, drawing out the pleasure, in time both men were covered in sweat, lost in the feel of each others bodies.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease \u2026 Eric\u2026\u201d Tony moaned thrusting upward, wanting to find completion. \u201cI need to \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric thrust in hard causing both men to moan in pleasure. \u201cIs that what you want?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes\u2026God yes.\u201d The ex-agent gripped the sheets as Eric began to pound into him hard and fast.<\/p>\n

Eric reached between them and took Tony\u2019s hard cock and began stroking him in time with each thrust. In moments Tony through his head back and screamed out Eric\u2019s name as he came, sending Eric straight over the edge. He thrust in hard and spilled his seed deep inside his lover.<\/p>\n

Tony whimpered as Eric slipped out of his body. \u201cShh\u2026I’ve got you.\u201d Eric cooed. He got up and cleaned the two of them up before curling up next to his lover to rest.<\/p>\n

As the two drifted off to sleep, with Tony curled into Eric\u2019s arms. The Cuban tensed when he heard his lover mutter the ex-Marines name as he drifted off to sleep. Eric swore at that moment he would not lose Tony to Jethro. He would make sure Tony was content, happy and loved with everything he had.<\/p>\n

Six Weeks Later\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re retiring?\u201d Jen screeched.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou seem surprised.\u201d Jethro backed up his desk.<\/p>\n

Jen stared at him. \u201cOf course I\u2019m surprised. You\u2019re my best agent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gibbs stopped and looked at her. \u201cI am not your agent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what I meant.\u201d She placed her hands on her hips. \u201cGod, Tony leaves and you just\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The ex-Marine eyes flashed. \u201cDon\u2019t even go there. You with your little lap dog worked to remove him from my team. And when you succeeded you found out there was no team without Tony.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have a perfectly capable\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Jethro laughed, \u201cYou believe that? \u2018Buddy\u2019 is an ass, Ziva is a little too much like her brother, and you\u2019ve pushed the only capable agent back into the lab.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey need you to lead them\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFind another patsy for your games, I\u2019m going to Mexico.\u201d Jethro grabbed his bag and walked out of the bullpen.<\/p>\n

Miami<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jethro waited until he knew Eric had left for work. A part of him knew this was wrong. He should have gone to Mexico, but the Marine in him was not going to give up the only person he had loved besides Shannon. If anything these past six weeks had showed him was that he wasn\u2019t half the man he could be with Tony at his side.<\/p>\n

He slipped out of the car and walked up the walk to Tony\u2019s apartment. He knocked and waited.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have a key\u2026\u201d Tony paused. \u201cBoss?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTony.\u201d Jethro smiled. \u201cMay I come in?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAhhh\u2026 sure.\u201d Tony opened the door shocked to see the NCIS agent at his door. \u201cWhat brings you to Miami?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI retired,\u201d Jethro stated simply.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d The younger man stared at him. \u201cWhen? Why?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been building since you left, but the past few weeks clinched it,\u201d Jethro said as he looked around the room, it was very Tony.<\/p>\n

\u201cJethro?\u201d Tony questioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a hostage situation. \u2018Buddy\u2019 was in charge because I gave myself up to the perp,\u201d the ex-Marine explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did you do that?\u201d Tony demanded.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was fifteen and wanted to see his mother, he was wired with a bomb.\u201d Gibbs turned and looked out the window. \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for McGee coming up with away to loop the feed that was going back to the actual men pulling the fifteen year old’s strings I would have died.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s my probie.\u201d The ex-agent smiled. \u201cWhat did he do?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a live feed to the ones running the show. McGee tried to think what you would you do, then remembered a movie you talked about, found the frequency, and looped the feed.\u201d Jethro had been very proud of McGee.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeed,\u201d Tony grinned. \u201cGood movie. What happened to the fifteen-year-old?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Buddy\u2019 ordered the sniper to take the shot,\u201d Jethro growled.<\/p>\n

Tony closed his eyes. \u201cOh God,\u201d then realizing the situation. If the feed hadn\u2019t been looped they would have blown the place.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot much later there was a situation, an explosion went off and I was caught in it.\u201d Jethro turned towards Tony. \u201cI woke up only remembering my wife and child that died.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShannon and Kelly?\u201d Tony asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah.\u201d Jethro\u2019s voice became quiet. \u201cOver time I started to remember more, but I kept asking for you and Kate. I wanted my team. Once my memory fully returned and I looked at what my team had become I knew it was time to retire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you\u2019re here in Miami?\u201d Tony asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sold the house, packed the boat, found a nice place by the water where I can finish building her.\u201d Jethro stepped closer to Tony. \u201cI think you know why I came to Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJethro\u2026 it\u2019s not a good idea,\u201d The ex-agent’s voice dropped.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s not too late.\u201d Gibbs\u2019 hand slipped into Tony\u2019s hair pulling him close. \u201cI\u2019m not going to always wonder what if.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pulled Tony into a deep kiss, demanding entrance into the warm mouth. Tony moaned giving Jethro\u2019s tongue access. The CSI slipped his arms around Gibbs and pulled him close ,their bodies grinding against each other. The kiss was hard and demanding from both sides.<\/p>\n

Tony pulled out of Jethro\u2019s arms panting slightly. \u201cI need you to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jethro moved towards the door. \u201cI\u2019m not giving up on us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m with Eric,\u201d the younger man pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you love him?\u201d Jethro asked.<\/p>\n

Tony hesitated then answered, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ex-Marine smiled as he opened the door. \u201cYou will be mine.\u201d With that he left.<\/p>\n

Tony sagged onto the chair, his heart pounding. Part of him was thrilled, the other horrified. Leroy Jethro Gibbs didn\u2019t back down or give up without a fight. And he knew Eric would fight to the end. He was torn between two strong willed men, neither would back down.<\/p>\n
