Great story, I love how you are portraying everyone and the dynamics they have together. I'm curious what will happen when Tony eventually learns who Gibbs really is and that Abby played a part of setting him up. I'm really looking forward to reading more of where this story is going and what will happen to the others like the slacking Vivian.

Happy to see this installment posted. Just to refresh I went back and read three(still as steamy as the first read). Eagerly aaiting the next.

Yay! You are back! I love Part Five. It’s HOT and I’ve too reread the other ones. Paul seems to be a really nice friend of Tony. I like him. Please update soon.

Careen,thank you so much for your kindly worded feedback. I'm pleased that you appear pleased that I'm 'back'... Since part four didn't actually have Gibbs and DiNozzo together, but merely reflecting on their last meeting and anticipating their next, I'm absolutely delighted that you still found it HOT! - Hopefully, after reading the next part, you'll find the 'temperature' rising!!! Paul is a truly nice guy who's feeling protective of his new friend and looking out for him. Initially I had only meant for him, Mark, James and Zach, to be club buddies, but I've a feeling that Paul is going to become more involved in the actual plot.

I've just taken some time away from writing Part Five to amend the formatting of this segment on NCIS Fanfiction Archive. Unfortunately, it was probably not in time for your reading of it! That being the case, I'm even more appreciative of your kind comments. - Thank you
