I'll believe
All your lies
Just pretend you love me
Make believe
Close your eyes
I'll be anything for you
When he got out of the elevator, Tony smiled as soon as he heard Amy Lee's voice fill the whole floor. Getting into the lab, he found a very excited Abby Scuito, drinking her Caff Pow and bouncing at the sound of the music.
"Good morning, Goth Angel" he said in a deep voice. Abby turned and ran to him, hugging him tightly.
"Tony, happy birthday!" she greeted.
Tony returned the hug, puzzled.
"Happy birthday?" he said disbelievingly "Is it already my birthday?"
"Of course it is" replied the forensic, releasing her co-worker "And I wouldn't even know if I didn't look through your file" she added, like a reproach.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Tony asked, smiling.
"It means that we've worked together for five years and you never told me when your birthday was"
"It's not a big deal"
"Well it is for me!"
Tony laughed a little at that and Abby couldn't help but smile herself. She then ran to her desk, took an enveloped present and turned back to Tony.
"This is for you" she said, grinning.
"Abs, you shouldn't have" Tony said, carefully opening the black paper that held the first real present he'd ever had.
He smiled when he discovered a DVD inside.
"The skeleton key" he said happily "Thank you Abs, I loved that movie" Abby smiled as he kissed her on her cheek to thank her.
"No problem, bro" she replied.

When she saw Tony come back to his desk, Ziva noticed his smile and became suspicious.
"What is that stupid grin for?" she asked casually
"It's not a stupid grin" Tony said, sitting at his desk "And it's none of your business, Zee-vah David" he added, grinning mockingly.
Ziva rolled her eyes and looked back at her computer. Satisfied, Tony opened a drawer and put his present in it.
As the hours passed, Tony, Ziva and McGee were working on their reports, talking to each other from time to time.
There wasn't any case, but they were having a good day, especially Tony, who couldn't stop thinking about the moment where Abby gave him her present. He smiled at the thought, unaware of his boss' arrival.
"DiNozzo, think about your new girlfriend on your own time!" Gibbs said, entering the room.
"I'm not thinking about my new girlfriend" Tony replied, somehow vexed "I'm thinking about a talk I had with Abby. Anyway, I haven't had a new girlfriend since next month" he added.
"Imagine that!" teased Ziva "Is your irresistible charm running out?"
Gibbs glanced at Tony who suddenly thought his computer was much more interesting than anything else.
He then sat at his desk and search through is pocket, desk, drawers…
"Hey DiNozzo, I forgot my glasses in my car. Go get them" he said, tossing his keys to his senior field agent.
"On it, Boss" Tony said.
On his way to Gibbs' car, Tony heard a strange noise behind him. He froze, silently cursing himself that he'd left his gun in his drawer. He waited, hoping he'd been imagining that. Hearing nothing more, he started walking again. He was about to unlock the car when he felt someone's breathing on his neck and a gun being pressed on his back as a hand took the keys from his.
"Raise your hands, draw your fingers apart" a voice said in his ear.
Tony obeyed, thoughts running through his mind about how to deal with that situation. He tried to see his attacker's reflection in the windows of the car, but all he could see was a dark shadow standing behind him.
The man grabbed Tony's wrists and handcuffed his hands behind his back. He then searched the agent and pulled his cell, wallet, plate and keys out of his pockets and dropped them on the floor. Tony heard him play with Gibbs' keys and say "Let's go for a ride, shall we?"
Before he could think of something to do, he felt something heavy hit his head and everything turned black.
