Fair wind and following seas part 1: A big mistake
Insecurities and doubts
The rain pelted down on that wet and cold Baltimore evening, only those daft enough to venture out would have seen the police gathering in a nearby car park. A young Seaman had been beaten to death outside a local gay bar while on leave, Tony sighed as he pulled up at the crime scene. This was the 9th case in six month, all young sailors, all on leave, all outside gay bars.
"You got a sick one kid" said one of the older detective as Tony approached them.
Tony just 'Hmm' at them as he passed by and headed over to where a young female CSI stood, he stood in silence as he watched the woman as she examined the body.
"I know your there DiN.......FUCK Tony what the hell happened to you?.....don't tell me you walked into a door that happened to be called Jake? when are you going to drop that loser? he's not good for you" said the woman as he looked past Tony and his black eye to the 6'ft something male officer Tony had arrived with, who was now flirting with a female officer on the scene.
"It's complicated Mandy, I can't just leave plus you know what happens to gay officers?" said Tony with a sigh
"anyway what's the story?" he asked as he knelt down to look at the body.
"don't know you'd have to ask him" said Mandy as she pointed to a tall, slender man with grey hair, dressed in a blue jacket and cap brandishing the initials NCIS.
"NCIS? who the hell are they?" growled Tony his patients exhausted.
"Special Agent Jethro Gibbs, Navy Criminal Instigative Service and you are?" growled the man as he approached the pair.
"Detective Anthony DiNozzo and this is my case" growled Tony as he got up in Agent Gibbs's face.
"It's my case now" said Gibbs as he barged past them and over to the older man that seemed to be their ME.
Sighing Tony gave up on a lot of thing in his life but he never gave up his cases easy especially to over bearing, push, arrogant bastards like agent Gibbs.

Gibbs's knelt down next to his long time friend Dr Mallard, the rain had washed away most of the crime scene but Gibbs knew that Ducky would find something.
"sad sight that is" said Ducky as he looked up at Gibbs
"yeah a waste of a good sailor" added Gibbs
"I mean your new friend, the young lady he's talking to was quite vocal about her dislike of Officer White over by the squad car, I believe he is the one responsible for the new addition to the boys face. She was quite supportive of Detective DiNozzo as are several other members of his team but he doesn't get the support he need" said Ducky with a smile as Gibbs caught on to his meaning.
Standing Gibbs barked his order to his people and walked past Tony then stopped and turned to look at Tony.
"DiNozzo are you coming or what?" growled Gibbs as Tony looked shocked but followed Gibbs into his car anyway.
Tony sat in silence the whole way listening to the sounds of the rain on the windscreen as they drove back to the PD. Once they arrived Tony kept in time as Gibbs barged his way past the other Officers and into Tony's Captain's office. Captain Madison was a short, fat, balding man who Gibbs noticed seemed to have a dislike for Tony as they entered.
"DiNozzo, who the hell are these joker?" yelled Captain Madison as Tony cringed
"Special Agent Gibbs NCIS and I don't care if you've never heard of us. I'm taking over the navy serial killer cases, so transfer all you have to my people back in Washington. My ME Dr Mallard will need a place to look at the body you've just brought in, also Detective DiNozzo will be assisting us with our investigation" said Gibbs firmly as Captain Madison almost burst a blood vessel but gave up the fight eventually.
Tony sighed and followed Gibbs out of the office and in to the break room where several NCIS agents where already working on the evidence at hand. Tony got stuck in and as the night got on Tony thought to himself
This going to be a long but interesting night
before returning to the file as he watched the older man as he kept everyone in check.
