Gah! Ok, I'm pretty speechless after that. Wonderful piece of writing there. The Tony/Tonio scene was just incredible. And the pissing contest between Gibbs and Vance was perfect, especially when Leon gets past everything else and says it all comes down to Tony being one of their own. And poor Tim thinking that having to stay with Gibbs because he's injured would be his own personal worst nightmare! I'm so glad you've worked in such lovely lighter moments - I'm waaaaay past my angst threshhold on this one!
