Work Text:

Meretricious

Gibbs had known it was a bad idea to let Tony question the meretricious girls, but Tony had been so excited. Gibbs had found he couldn't tell Tony no.

Now, he wished he had. Tony had been supposed to return over 4 hours ago. Gibbs had gone to investigate and question the strippers himself in an attempt to figure out what happened to Tony. Tony wasn't answering his phone, so Gibbs knew something untoward had happened.

Unfortunately, the meretricious girls couldn't or wouldn't tell him anything. He wasn't sure which. Gibbs wouldn't stop until he'd found Tony. It didn't matter how many secrets he had to expose in the process.

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.
