I am so pleased that you are going to make a career out of writing. You are extremely good at it. You write with a keen eye to detail and the story line flows effortlessly. You have encapsulated the characteristics of the team so well that I can picture their every facial expression. Well done. I am really looking forward to reading more of your stories.

This a really great story! There are two things a like more than anything else. 1) The phantom's and delusions. 2) The last line at the beginning at each chapter. Although, I did start laughing when it was the same line three times in a row. :) I feel so bad about delusion Jenny telling Tony that he wasn't allowed to die a peaceful death, but had... no deserved to die in agony. It was sad. :( Keep writing!

I enjoyed reading this story.

Wish Tony could have gone back home to D.C.! Good story!

Wow! Awesome story! I loved all of it!
Best of luck with your writing! You're a talented author :) x

Hi Moki,

I've read 'Agent Adrift' before but felt drawn to read it again. I don't know why but I found myself in tears with Chapter 7 this time when I didn't when I read it originally. This is what did it:

"Once again some part of him knew the words couldn't really be true. Jenny would never say such horrible things. Reality wasn't really a big part of his world anymore though. He didn't even realize that the cruelty was coming from himself. Not only that, it was keeping him alive."

Thanks for writing such a great Tony (with a heavy dose of emotionally connected Gibbs) story.

Poor Tony someone found his hiding spot. And threw him overboard. Now he is in the sea fighting for his life. What with everybody he worked with at NCIS dead or alive they weren't giving him much incentive to want to live really. All they did was put him down. especially the dad agents. They all blamed him. like it was his fault all alone. Like he was the one to kill them. Poor Poor Tony.

Gibbs had no idea he was going undercover when he was aboard the ship. At least he got some experience working in different thing on a ship.

Yes i was so glad,happy when Gibbs jumped in the water when the copter was going to turn around. Gibbs knew Tony wouldn't make it alone. He would need someone to order him to stay awake.

Listen up. If I find out you're faking, I'll tan your hide." I love it. Gibbs being all fatherly on him.

Aww Abby came when Gibbs and Ducky had to leave.

i wish he could of left with them but i get it. he needed to finish his time as Agent Afloat. And be ready to leave and go home when he was really ready.

I just read your whole story from start to finish - I loved it! You portrayed the characters and past issues to a "T"- and having the end be the beginning of Agent Afloat was perfect! Great job!

ooo this was great :) No wonder it was nominated! I can't help but think that maybe everyone on the team has schizophrenia...because even on the actual show, that stuff happens xD

Simply lovely story! Loved the ending...and Tony finally seeing a delusion of Gibb's...nicely done!

You kept all the details organized, and of course the energy with which you wrote Abby was wonderful!

Nicely done...thank you for the story!

Yeah! Gibb's has a plan! This should be good.

Ahh...loved this part: "You're welcome…." Gibbs paused as he watched the grin on Tony's face grow wider."Oh and those are okay too. In case you were curious." Gibbs held up a finger. "But only if you mean it."

Very nice interaction here

Finally! Rescue!

I could totally see Gibb's diving in off the chopper...not sure why they thought that was a bad idea...they had to know that Tony had already been in the water for days without a vest and couldn't have lasted much longer. Hopefully the blood that was on his lip and being washed away won't attract any sharks!

I'm kind of suprised that Gibb's hasn't shown up in any of his delusions yet...

I'm hoping that the real Tony gets told later how much the men on the seahawk liked and respected him and wanted to help find him. That show of support in helping to find him was very touching to see. ;-)

It's about time that they start putting things together! Oh...and its also about time that one of his delusions actually gave him an order to keep swimming.
