Its true Abby and Gibbs do probably know Tony the best. Plus they have known him the longest aside from Ducky.

Cant say it enough that i never like that Tony was excluded from Ziva party.

At least here Abby realized the mistake and Gibbs wanted to fix it.

Glad Tony wasn't hurt from being kidnapped.

Nice premise, but come on, he's a Federal Agent, he's not a 12 year old girl!

This was fun! Some small nits, no offense intended:

1. The story was very abrupt, seemed like things happened very fast. One minute Tony is sad, then he's kidnapped, then they find out who did it and then they clear the persons name and get him back. To bring more life to your story, don't rush things so much.

2. Tell us more about what people are wearing, how they look. Tell us more about the characters you introduce. We never meet the brother who was wronged, we don't know what happened to him. Did he get released from prison, where was he serving, did Gibbs go speak to him and admit his mistake? How did Tony get hurt so badly? How long was he gone?

3. Tell us more about what is happening, what motivates people. While Tony was upset about the party, you never explained why Ziva didn't invite him, or if anyone spoke with Ziva, or if anyone was mad at Ziva. Does this make Tony think about leaving the team? Does Ziva think about leaving the team, or about how she doesn't understand American customs? Or how Ziva isn't the best at friendships due to her background?

Thanks so much for writing, I love stories about Boxed In since that episode ending was so sad for Tony.

“It’s a cold case file, boss"

Can't be if they put someone in prison for it!

Just a short info...

Tony wasn't on the team for 9 years when Boxed In was shown...more like 4...

that was great loved it
