Ryan sees him first, a cute guy in a fantastic suit and he has to stop himself from checking his hair like he's back in high school getting ready to talk to Shelley Winters for the first (and last) time.
He puts on his best smile and sidles up to the guy.
"Ryan Wolfe" He says, holding out a hand. "Can I help you?"
"Tony DiNozzo" The guy replies and, god, his smile is to die for. "Can you tell me where I can find Tim Speedle? We were supposed to get together for drinks while I was here, catch up on old times y'know? But He hasn't answered his phone and he wasn't at his house."
At the first mention of that name the smile falls from Ryan's face. Tony apparently notices because the end of his sentence comes out almost on autopilot, like his mouth kept going while his mind raced to find te correct conclusion.
Ryan's never done an inform before and he knows that this one is going to kill any chance he might have had. He takes a deep breath.
"Ryan's dead, isn't he?" Tony's voice is completely flat, making the question into a statement.
"Yeah... I'm sorry." Ryan says.
"I...Yeah... I'm gonna go." Tony says before fitting deed to word.
A few days later Ryan finds a photo in his desk drawer, one that someone must have missed when they cleaned it out.It paints a far differant picture of Tony and Tim's relationship than what Tony gave him.
