Gibbs growled as he stormed back down to his desk. He knew there were other agents that could cover him for a few days. She just said no because it was with Tony. This was much more important than his job. If he had to resign, he would.

'DiNozzo, you're with me.' He turned and stalked off to the elevator. He knew that his young lover would be right behind him. As soon as he could he flicked the switch.

'Jethro, I guess she said no.'

'Yeah, if we can't find a way to change her mind I'll retire.' Gibbs saw the look on Tony's face. 'This is too important, you are everything to me. We need to figure out what is going on. If we can find another sentinel and guide then, we'll be able to help each other out.'

'Ok, let me call Danny first and explain things. I am hoping that we can come up with something. If we can't we, both leave. Wherever you go, you'll need to have me with you, agreed?'

Gibbs pulled Tony into his arms. 'Agreed.' He whispered.

Danny put his cell down and turned to Steve. 'It seems that the director of NCIS won't let them come. Tony said unofficially she has a thing for Gibbs. If they are sentinel and guide, we do need to see them. We have a little extra protection because the governor knows...' He stopped and smiled. 'I don't suppose that the governor could personally ask for them?'

Steve chuckled. 'Well, he wants to make sure that his task force is safe. If someone else were taken, he would want to speak to them. If they were investigators, I guess he could mention it would be a personal request for him. I talk to him in the morning and see if there is anything he can do. If it is going to happen to all guides, then it could be a pre-warning for when his brother gets one. A guide that isn't you I mean.'

'I love it when you get all possessive over me.' Danny laughed and pulled his sulking sentinel into a hug.

Steve took a deep breath and relaxed into Danny's arms. This is where he always wanted to be. There was nothing like having this connection. He couldn't believe before he thought that it was all make-believe. He was glad to finally know the truth, and how wonderful having a guide was.

Gibbs climbed into bed and pulled Tony into his arms. All he wanted to do was hold him like this all night.

Tony snuggled into the warm embrace and began to dose off. 'You can't stay awake all night. Remember McGee has put camera's up.' He suddenly laughed at the younger agents face when Gibbs had asked him. 'It's a good thing probie doesn't question you. He was very curious about why I was here.'

'I don't care who knows we're together. I'm not ashamed of us and I never will be.'

'I know that, but we need to work out this sentinel and guide thing first.' Tony whispered as he finally fell into a deep sleep.

'I'll protect and keep you safe Tony.' Gibbs tightened his arms around his sleeping guide.

Denning sat and there and stared at the two men. His brother was there as well, and his gaze remained on Danny. He knew that one wrong move and Steve would show the skills he had been taught as a SEAL. He wanted his brother here to see if there was any information that could help him.

'So the director won't let them come, well this Gibbs person. It does sound strange that your friend detective Williams went missing the same time you did. So you guess that he is a guide and Gibbs is the sentinel.' He waited for the two men to nod. 'We do really need to talk to them then. I do know Clayton Jarvis; he's the secretary of the navy. I could ask him as a personal favour. He does owe me one.'

'Thank you sir, we would appreciate it. The more we know about sentinel and their guides, the more it helps us all.' Danny answered as Steve was still glaring at the other sentinel. He elbowed his partner in the side.

'Yes we would be very grateful.' He added. Denning couldn't help but laugh at how married couple the two of them were.

It would be interesting to see if this Tony DiNozzo and Gibbs fellow acted the same.

Tony laughed as he placed his cell back into his pocket. He and Gibbs were waiting for the lift to take them up to their floor.

'What is it?' Gibbs asked. He had forced himself not to listen in to the call. At some point in the future, they were going to have to practice on these abilities because at the moment they were more of a hindrance because he couldn't control them.

'That was Danny; I think I want to call in sick today.' Tony smiled at him. It was the smile that seemed to melt everyone that came into contact with it. It worked on him.

'Why?'

'It seems they spoke to the governor of Hawaii, and he's a good friend of SecNav's. The governor is going to call in a favour to get us to Hawaii. The director is not going to be happy with this. As long as she doesn't come over and try to make it a romantic getaway for the two of you.' Tony laughed as he watched Gibbs shiver in horror at the thought.

'Why does the governor think we're going there for?'

'I don't know, Danny said he would explain it all when we go there. I guess he knows about...' Tony waved his hand around. He didn't want to talk about this in the open. Not now, when they knew so little, and so much was at cost like Gibbs' freedom. 'The only thing he did say was if we were asked, that the governor was concerned as it involved a person from his task force.'

'Ok, I'll remember that if I'm asked.' Gibbs wouldn't give any information that he didn't have to.

Ziva looked over at McGee they hoped Gibbs got here soon as the director kept coming out and glaring down at them. The elevator pinged, and the doors opened, and out walked the man they had been thinking off. They finally could relax a little and maybe get Tony to talk about what was going on. They knew something was, and Abby was in on it as well.

'Hey, my little....' Tony started to talk when a voice went over his.

'Agent Gibbs, my office NOW!' Shepard almost shouted from the mezzanine.

Gibbs grinned at Tony and headed up the stairs to see what she was going to say. As soon as he disappeared from sight McGee and Ziva ganged up on Tony.

'Tony what the hell is going on? Who took you?' Ziva asked.

'What does Abby know that we don't?' McGee added.

'I don't know what's going on. I have no idea who took me or where I was. When I woke up, I didn't know it had been a whole month. Abby knows as much as you do.' Tony knew that the best lie was to base it around the truth and to do with his actual disappearance none of them knew anything. So technically he wasn't actually lying.

McGee and Ziva just stared at him. They were sure he was lying, but they had no evidence to make him talk.

Gibbs walked into the director's office and smiled. 'You called?'

'I've just had SecNav on the phone ordering me to send you and DiNozzo to Hawaii. What is so important that the two of you have to go, and no one else? An emergency might come up here that you are needed on, and it might stop any travel plans.' She grinned smugly at him.
