"I hate that Agent DiNozzo." An ominous voice commented.

It was late and the bullpen was mostly dark. Only four people occupied the room Gibbs and Tony who were hard at work at case reports. Tony doing double because Gibbs had sent poor McGee home with a nasty stomach virus Tony had thought that it would be nice for his Probie to return to work and find his paperwork completed so he didn't mind staying a little late. Gibbs had actually finished his paperwork but was sticking around because he had an extremely bad feeling in his gut and did not want to leave his agent. He had been worried that maybe it was McGee who was in trouble but he called Sarah and had her check in on him and he was fine really sick but not anything to worry about. Ziva had finished her paperwork and Gibbs had dismissed her to a girl's night with Abby they were going to order take-out and watch "Magic Mike" which they had borrowed from Jackie Vance. Talk about awkward Leon delivering it and Gibbs, Tony, and McGee seeing especially since McGee was throwing up. The only other occupants besides security were two agents from other teams SFA's James Ramirez and Parker Kline whom lurked in Gibbs's bullpen.

"I know what an entitled asshole that DiNozzo." Ramirez whispered.

Tony thought sure he heard his name but when he looked up he was alone except for Gibbs who had gone to put something on the director's desk. He shrugged, turned up his iPod and went back to work. Gibbs walked down the stairs after leaving his note on the desk of Vance's assistant. He saw Tony stand up and walk over to his desk paperwork in hand.

"All done DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked after coming back downstairs.

"I finished mine but still have some of Probie's to do but I am exhausted." Tony explained.

"Go get some rest. Don't worry about McGee." Gibbs assured.

Tony nodded and exited relived something was majorly creeping him out and he couldn't quite put his finger on it but he knew he wanted to be home on his couch with a DVD. Gibbs sighed as he watched Tony leave his gut was still churning and he was beyond relieved that he would be heading home and likely staying in the rest of the night. Suddenly Tony stopped, rubbed the back of his head, whirled round, searched the room, shrugged and practically ran to the elevator. Gibbs bit his lip and gulped something bad was going to happen. He set Tony's paperwork on his desk, gathered his things, and left. He got to the elevator to find Agent's Ramirez and Kline had arrived a few seconds before him. They were talking but when he entered they stopped.

"Hello Agent Gibbs" they said in unison.

"Ramirez, Kline" Gibbs replied.

After that the elevator ride was uncomfortable silence. They got off nodded to each other and headed out the door. Gibbs head to his car on the west side of the parking lot he turned back and saw Ramirez and Kline head towards Kline's car on the east side. There was something about those two that really unsettled Gibbs.

"That's odd why are they carpooling they don't live near each other?" he thought. "Maybe they are more than just friends."

*bang* *bang* Tony jumped at the sound of someone knocking at his door. After being alone in the bullpen that evening he had been quite jumpy. He had heard people whispering but saw nothing and when he was leaving he got hit in the head with an eraser but when he turned back there wasn't anyone there. He shuffled to the door and saw the delivery man from "Uncle Luigi's Pizza". He opened took out his credit card along with a fiver for the tip. He handed the guy the card in exchange for the pizza, the guy scanned the card and handed it back to him. Tony slammed the door behind him, locked and dead bolted the door, and ran with the pizza to his bedroom. He drew the blinds and locked his bedroom door. He decided that he would only leave the room to use the bathroom that night. After he finished eating he used the bathroom and washed his hands. He picked up his phone and almost called Gibbs.

"Nah he'll just tell me I am being paranoid or worse worry and put me under protection detail." He thought.

He got in bed and climbed under the covers. He had never been more afraid in his life not even when he had the plague. At least then he was in the hospital with doctors and nurses attending to him. Not to mention Gibbs, Kate, McGee, Abby, Ducky, and Jimmy worrying about him. Now he was alone and maybe even in danger.
