Work Text:
Detritus
Gibbs had gotten used to writing letters as a marine. It was the only communication method he had with Shannon and Kelly. He’d never expected to be on the other side, where he was the one at home writing to the one who was away.
As he stared at the detritus on the edge of the Anacostia River, he started composing the letter in his head. “Dear Tony,
The toothpick is pissing me off. He won’t bring you back. Things are crazy here. I have 3 completely new team members. None of them work half as well as it did when it was just the two of us.
Gibbs”
He shook his head. No, that wouldn’t work. Tony needed to know he was missed personally not just for work. “Tony,
I miss you. The steps are lonely without you. Work isn’t the same. Vance dumped a whole new team on me and none of them work half as well as you and I did just the two of us.
Hope you can come home soon.
Gibbs
P.S. Toothpick still refuses to bring you home, but I won’t give up. I’ll join you on the ship if I have to.”
