Contumacious
Tony had been looking forward to an excuse to go to Hawaii on NCIS’ dime until he found out what they were expecting of him. Narrowing his eyes and pulling out his most contumacious attitude, Tony stared down the director. “No, sir.”
“Now you listen hear, Agent Dinozzo. This is a matter of national security and you will do this.” Vance ordered beyond frustrated. He didn't want to have anything to do with this case either, but they had a job to do.
“With all due respect, sir, this agency has already screwed me over more than once. Many of those times under your orders. This doesn't feel right, so I will not do this without more information. No one wants a repeat of what happened under Director Shepard.” Tony glared right back at the man.
Vance took a deep breath to calm himself down and by the time he looked back up Dinozzo was gone. Before he could figure out what happened to his wayward agent in Hawaii, his phone rang. Glancing at the caller id and seeing that it was SecNav, Vance sighed. Dealing with Dinozzo would have to wait, apparently.
Tony watched Vance field a phone call, undoubtedly from SecNav, and smirked to himself before finding a nice secluded place on the beach to relax and enjoy Hawaii while still keeping an eye on the situation that he was ostensibly here to deal with.
