Supplant

It wasn't unusual for undercover ops to involve supplanting a criminal. This was the first time that he'd replaced a criminal in an auction, however. He hadn't understood that people were going to be bidding on him when he took this undercover op.

NCIS hadn't done their research and now Tony was having to make it up as he went along and try and figure out what the hell was going on. He wasn't sure if there was actually anything criminal going on or if this was just something they did for fun. There was no doubt that the people involved were criminals, but he'd yet to find any evidence of criminal activity in this auction.

Maybe it was a money laundering auction. He'd have to get McGee on it and see if that's what was going on.

Notes:

Prompts are currently open. If you'd like to prompt me, please do so here. Note you have to be an ao3 member to do this.

If you are not an ao3 member, you can prompt me here. Please follow the same rules as are listed in the above link. However, because this is a handmade prompt form(that thinks it's a poll), it is considerably more limited than what ao3 provides, so please use the ao3 form if you're an ao3 member. Please note the name option is for a name that I can say this is for so that you know it's for you. Since this is for non ao3 members it won't be true gifts, but you will be mentioned in the notes.

This is a new thing I'm trying, so please leave feedback here if you think it could be improved.
