Work Text:
vengeance will be mine
by tigriswolf
The day after Jethro Gibbs' funeral, Tony DiNozzo disappears. He has no contact with anyone for six months, and in that time, a dozen corrupt officials vanish only to later turn up dead. The rest of his previous team have all moved on, still working for NCIS, and Vance has orders for Tony to be brought in because everyone knows he’s gone rogue, become a vigilante, hunting down whoever the fuck killed Gibbs.
And then, finally, a year to the day Gibbs bled out in his arms, with only, I’m proud of you, Anthony, to echo in his ears, Tony looks the fucker straight-on and pulls the trigger five times: knees, elbows, and right between the eyes.
He stares down at the body, at the man who ordered Gibbs’ death, and knows that this fucker didn’t start it. He got his own order from somewhere.
So Tony reloads his gun and leaves the bastard where he fell.
