(Imagine that tony is 5 years older than Reid)
Tony was sitting there at his desk in the mid-afternoon, thinking about the girl he was with last night as he had nothing else to do, and just sitting there waiting for a case when his phone rang.
"Tony Dinozzo"
"Hey Tony its Gideon"
Tony's face fell and went pale, which of course the team noticed and turned their heads, concern, to Tony.
'He never calls me unless it's important' Tony thought.
"Tony…Tony" brought him back to reality.
"Oh sorry…day-dreaming….what happened…..erm ok I will try…I can't promise…..ok don't tell him…bye" Tony looked up to see Ziva and McGee look down quickly but Gibbs just kept looking, which made him smile sadly.
Gibbs just stared during tony's conversation, wondering what could cause the happy agent to just change to sadness so quickly and then when he look at him, he could see that whatever it was, was causing the agent a great deal of trouble. But these thoughts were interrupted when tony got up from his chair and started to walk towards him. McGee and Ziva saw the chance to look up and listen to what was going happen next.
"Boss….erm look I need some time off" Tony said quickly like he was expecting some drama.
"Dinozzo why if I may ask" Gibbs said, seeing the sadness in tony's eyes, no joking around, no movie quotes.
"Well it's a fam…family…..emergency" At that everyone looked up at tony, the others not caring that tony knew they were listening.
"Family…Dinozzo thought you didn't have any" Gibbs mentally slapped himself, as he saw the pain in tony's eyes but it was a surprise that he had other family because he knew that his father disowned him and his mother was dead. Against his own rules, he was about to apologise when he was interrupted by Director Jenny Shepard.
"Tony I have booked your flight for tonight so go home and get packed…you have 2 weeks" she said while walking to him and saying as if she knew what he was thinking "He called to explain"
"OK thanks director" He said sadly and just got his bag and left.
Gibbs and the team were shocked by the amounts of words said. Gibbs was about to complain when Jenny said "Don't Jethro…I will tell you" and she just left, leaving the team confusing and shocked.
