Back at Headquarters Tony saw everyone gathered at his desk as he returned from the Director’s Office. He and Gibbs had immediately been called to her office upon arrival for a debrief. The debrief had consisted of the Director spending thirty minutes dressing down Tony for how he acted as lead on the situation. She had barely let him finish giving the final sit rep before starting. It was only the fact that he had Gibbs at his side, complementing every decision he had made, that had him not fighting back. Gibbs had sent him out of the room to go home at the thirty minute mark. Tony didn’t stick around to hear them fight.
