CGIS Special Agent Abigail Borin and her team enter a navy cruise ship out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. She is almost disappointed that the ship is just out NCIS' jurisdiction. It means that she won't be dealing with Gibbs' team. A Petty Officer had attacked the Corpsman.
"Where is Petty Officer White?" Abby asks.
"He is being held in his quarters. Petty Officer Jones will take you there." Captain Rosenberg answers.
"You take the Corpsman; I will talk to Petty Officer White." Abby relays to her team.
Abby enters the quarters and sees Petty Officer lying on the bed.
"Petty Officer White, I am Special Agent Abigail Borin with the Coast Guard. We need to discuss why you attacked Corpsman Pandini."
"Please call me to Tony?" He responds as he gets off the bed and takes a seat at the table.
"Okay Tony; why did you attack him?"
"All my life; I have heard about him. Dr. Pandini used to be Chief of Staff at Long Island Hospital. I was born and raised in Long Island." Tony began.
"That still doesn't explain why you attacked him." Abby interrupts.
"My grandfather and my mother hated him. Always has. She wouldn't take me to that hospital if Dr. Pandini was working. All my life I had heard what a horrible person he is. So when I saw him; I just couldn't help it."
"Why? What did he do to your mother that was so horrible?"
"He didn't do anything to her directly. She had this best friend; Tony, who I am named after. Dr. Pandini was his doctor. My mother had told me that Tony was being abused at home and that Dr. Pandini was on his father's payroll. Dr. Pandini knew that this child was being abused and did nothing to help him. He covered for the father and allowed the abuse to continue."
Abby closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. If she was in his shoes; she wouldn't be able to keep in control of her temper either.
"That is a serious accusation. Do you have any proof to back up your claim? Have you even met this Tony?"
"I only know what my mother and grandfather told me. They knew him; I never met him. He went away when they were 12. Mom said he was sent away and she hasn't seen him since." Tony answers.
"If what you say is true about Corpsman Pandini; then I want to help you. But we need proof of your accusation if we are going to go after him."
"What will happen to me?" Tony wonders.
"That all depends on what we discover. Why didn't anyone help Tony if he was in trouble?" Abby counters.
"My grandfather told me that people wanted to; but there was nothing they could do, him included. Anyone who tried had their lives destroyed and Tony would still be in the same situation. Dr. Pandini wasn't the only one on DiNozzo Senior side; the Chief of Police was as well."
Abby turns around to face the door while she works to get her emotions under control. She had her suspicions; but didn't know enough about Gibbs' team to be sure one way the other. Now she is sure. The boy in question is Gibbs' Senior Field Agent; so much for avoiding them on the case.
Tony wonders why she turned away from him; but he kept talking.
"The Chief of Police was killed in a shootout 10 years ago. My grandfather and my mom have dedicated their lives to helping others to make up for that fact that they couldn't help Tony. My mom is a Social Worker in a Children's Home. She wanted to do more but grandpa warned her that she could come across another child like Tony whose father is so wealthy that he can get away with anything. Grandpa opened a Youth Center for Foster Children and Street kids."
Abby wipes the tears away from her eyes.
"They sound like wonderful people. I really would like to meet them." Abby says as she turns back to Tony.
"Grandpa died a few years ago; but I am sure my mom would come to wherever it is that you are taking me."
"I'm sure Tony's real name is Anthony. Is yours?"
"No, my real name is Tony. My mom hates the name Anthony; because that is DiNozzo Senior name. She named me Tony after her best friend. Tony always called her Mai Tai. He was the only one she ever allowed to call her that."
"Grab your things. You will be coming with me." Abby informs as she leaves to let the Captain know that Petty Officer White will be leaving with them.
Abby wants to bring charges against the Corpsman for failing to help an abused child. But so much time has passed; the most she could do would be to have his medical license yanked and to have him dishonorably discharged from the Navy. She will get started on those charges when she gets back to her office; but before she does that she has to talk to Tony DiNozzo. Without his corporation; Petty Officer White will be the only brought up on charges of assault.
AN: I am not sure when CGIS would have jurisdiction over NCIS.
The interrogation took place between Petty Officer Tony White and CGIS Special Agent Abigail Borin. The Tony; that White and Abby are talking about is Tony DiNozzo. I am mentioning this in case anybody got lost as to what was happening.
