Bad lady. Baaaaaaaaad lady.

She's a horrible person, but they need to make sure not to narrow in so much on one suspect so that some other cold-blooded killer doesn't go free.

I don't think she did it, I think someone wanted her to take the fall, probably the people who were chasing her! But she deserves to be in jail for what she did to his mother.

Hmm, yeah, maybe next time you'll check how Tony reacts to Senior before cozying all up to him.

Did she kill his mother? Cuz uh, you don't get to be mad if he talks to Senior before a murderer, no matter how much you dislike the man.

Yes, because some people totally just don't have problems-_-

Nice.

Amazing! I love it! :D

Wow! A very good story. I'm glad that Tony forgave Mia at the end, and that Tony and Gibbs talked.

Um, you do know that flash drives have only been available since 2000, right? The patents weren't even filed until 1999 and therefore information from when Tony's mother died couldn't possibly have been stored on one unless it was placed there much later? This also creates a timeline conflict. If TD was born in 1972, he would have been at least 28 at the earliest time the flash drive could have been written to and you've already said that Tony was a pre-teen when his mother was killed. So ... 1980-1983 ... somewhere in that ballpark. You said outright that his mother was killed over the flash drive itself, not the information stored on it.

If you edit so that she was killed over the information, which Tony's father *later* stored on a flash drive and sent to him for safe-keeping, that particular conflict could be resolved.

That said, I'd advise you to find a good beta reader (and no, I'm not volunteering). A good beta will not only help with grammar, spelling, and story flow but will also scan for continuity errors in your fic and point out issues with canon. The best fics *are* stories where canon zigged and the fanfic writer zagged, but only when it was a conscious choice rather than oversight or ignorance.

the gravestone said she was a loving mother and HUSBAND

Just to let you know Rule #3 is either "Don't believe what you're told. Double check" or "Never be unreachable." Which ever you want to use. "Never assume or "Don't take anything for granted" is Rule #8. If you need help with the Rules you can always google them. Just type in Gibbs' Rules.

Very good, really enjoyed it! Well done on your first story! Looking forward to read more from you!

This story was very good indeed. I enjoyed it from start to finish. I loved you having Tony think "how in the name of Warner Brothers"! What a hoot! The heart-to-heart he and Gibbs had was thoughtful but no out of character I thought. The limit on emotional talk was also funny. The last line summed up everything in a nutshell.
