Chapter 1
It was with a heavy heart that Tony got on the plane. He had wanted things to work out so badly and tried so hard, yet after everything that had happened Gibbs had just dumped his stuff on his old desk after coming back from Mexico. Tony could no longer deal with Ziva's disrespect or Mcgee's "you're NOT Gibbs, stop trying to be!" as well as Abbey's trainee label.
He had turned in his resignation to the director two weeks ago and was heading to Italy to see his grandfather while he took a step back and tried to relearn who Anthony Dinozzo was and not who Tony 'Very Special Agent' Dinozzo used to be.
Tony sat on the bench under the willow tree in the graveyard, speaking to the stone. "Hey grandma, sorry for not speaking to you for a while but things have been hectic lately. I just resigned from NCIS and don't know what I am going to do just yet. I think I need to go see grandpa soon and it might just be time for me to talk to Reborn about joining the family business."
