OK, as I'm still in the middle of the decorating AND I've got a board meeting tonight (they don't call them bored meetings for nothing) I'm starting with a short one.
Very much enjoyed the back-story, the rescue of little sis and both joining the police together.
Also enjoyed your pithy turns of phrase throughout - the doctor's comment about luckiest individual, the light not being out to get him, and the GPS tracker.
Weird; I've not read this one, although I can't think why I didn't notice it - but there was me making unkind fun of a Buick Enclave in CTRA...
Anyway, loved the story. Now I'm off to the aforesaid three hours of my life I'll never get back...

Really enjoyed, in large part because of your wonderful detailed descriptions that made it easy to visualize what was happening (burr!) and also because seems in character that Tony could find trouble even going on vacation and Gibbs would sense something was going to happen! Look forward to checking out more of your work.

:) great, I loved it. I really liked how the point of view kept changing from Tony to his friend, back to the past. And you wrote it really well. Good job :)

So i guess you wont continue writing follow up chapters to this? you know, how gibbs worries and worried and how his friend felt about him missing his wedding and all those things? Because i Loved this chapter/story, and i really hope you will continue this! bye

I felt so sorry Tony had to miss his friend's wedding,but not sorry enough to enjoy his whumpage! I'm convinced Gibbs has a sixth sense of some the peek into Tony's past and that he has good pals from that time and about his commendations and heroics.I love a competent DiNozzo...:)

Awesome fic!
