The door opened slowly creaking as it always did when it was opened. Tony looked up as Kate walked in. She stopped looking at her boyfriend sitting in between two women. His arm around one, a tear rolled her cheek.

"Kate no it's not what you think" Tony jumped up running after her as she ran outside.

"Get lost Tony!" she got in her car and drove off. Tony sighed. He walked back inside and sat down on a single chair resting his head in his hands.

"Tony what is it?" Tony looked up and smiled weakly at the two women in front of him.

"I'm a dead man that's what. Nine people will be over to kill me soon eight that I'm scared of."

"Why?" asked the older of the two.

"One tear out of those eyes and you're a dead man was what her father and brothers said. If I upset her in anyway that doesn't have a reasonable explanation I lose my job is what my boss said let alone what our friends will do to me." He lent back in the chair and closed his eyes.

"Tony, you have a reasonable explanation, a very good one." Tony nodded and looked up.

"That only gets our boss of my back not her family and our friends." He looked up as there was a knock on the door.

"Good bye cruel world," Tony muttered he got up and answered the door only to be punched in the face and stumbling back falling over because of the force.

"Tony!" the two women helped him up.

"I kind of deserved that I guess."

"You guess, one tear was what I said, there was more then one tear" Kate's older brother said punching Tony again. Tony could see the rest of her family and their friends coming up the drive way with Kate.

"If you let me explain I'll tell you what happened."

"Explain! What is there to explain you cheated on my sister" Brandon punched Tony again and went to do it again but was stopped by his father.

"Explain" Tony got up spitting the blood of his mouth catching the tooth that fell out.

"They're- Tony started but Kate's brother broke free of his fathers grip and started in on Tony again.

"STOP IT. LEAVE HIM ALONE." Kate watched as the two women screamed.

"Leave our baby brother alone," cried the shorter one. Kate froze. She looked over at Abby who looked just as stunned.

"Dale leave him alone!" Kate yelled pushing through the group of people.

"Dale stop it he's unconscious," Kate cried.

"Please stop your going to kill him Dale stop please," Kate screamed. Peter grabbed his younger brother from behind but Dale threw him off sending his brother flying into the mirror across the room. Kate grabbed her brothers arm. He turned and hit her into the wall she fell down limp.

"Caitlin!" Dale stopped as he turned looking at his sister there was a blood running down her head.

"Oh god." he turned and looked at Tony who was lying just as limply on the floor looking a thousand times worse.

"I thought you had controlled your anger," said his little brother walking past him to check on Tony.

"He's still alive but not for long if he continues to bleed like this" Gibbs nodded and called 911.

Dale paced the waiting room. Not looking at any one. Every one looked up as the police walked in.

"Dale Todd your under arrest for assaulting Peter Todd, Caitlin Todd and Anthony DiNozzo, you have the right to remain silent any thing you do say can be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney do you under stand?" Dale nodded. As the police went to walk out doctors came out. Every one looked at him.

"We tried every thing but there was nothing we could do…
