This is my first NCIS fic so please be kind if anyone reads and reviews it. These chapters will be fairly short but I will continue to update regularly if I know enough people are interested in it.
A Son for a Son
Chapter one
The man watched as Gibbs, DiNozzo, and Kate left the NCIS building and headed off on a case. He watched the easy banter between them. He wasn't sure if Gibbs had a son but if he didn't, DiNozzo would make a good candidate. His own son had gone down in a hail of bullets from Gibbs gun and now Gibbs would soon know what it felt like to lose a son, or the next best thing to a son. But first he would watch his teammate suffer. The man smiled to himself. He was an expert when it came to computers and he knew what he had to do. He would send Gibbs videos on his computer of DiNozzo suffering at his hands, videos even the great NCIS wouldn't be able to trace. Gibbs would have no idea who was sending them and that alone would drive him nuts. But watching his teammate suffer and knowing it was because of him ………well that would be priceless. And if he was lucky he'd even get to watch a little of it. He turned his collar up against the cold December weather and walked away.
The man, whose name was Milton Dawson, had worked for NCIS's custodial staff for the last nine years. No one knew it was his son who was killed three years ago by Gibbs. He and his wife had divorced years ago when the boy was small and his son had been adopted by her new husband. The last names no longer matched but he had still stayed close to his son throughout the years. Two years before he was killed, his son had been arrested by Gibbs as a suspect in the rape and murder of a Navy nurse. During the trial he was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. He had served a year and a half of sheer hell. Brutally beaten and practically killed by the other inmates. He eventually escaped and was tracked down and killed by Gibbs after he had been cornered and had turned a weapon on an NCIS agent. But in Dawson's mind his son was innocent and framed by the NCIS. He had always assumed that Gibbs had been told not to bring his son in alive. Well now Gibbs was going to pay. He would watch someone he cared about first tortured, as his son had been, then killed. And would have to live with only memories of that person the way he had only his memories of his son to live with. Dawson had prepared for this day by taking computer courses and was now an expert. The day was coming soon when he would use the computer skills he had learned, and Gibbs would finally know what it felt like to lose a son.
The custodial staff worked third shift when only a skeleton crew of agents worked. He had occasionally run into Gibbs or his team when they had stayed late into the night or worked throughout the entire night on a case. They had always been nice to him, never acting like they were better then him. He would actually hate having to kill DiNozzo but it had to be done. Gibbs needed to feel the empty feeling in his heart like he had felt for the past three years. And Gibbs would know it was because of him that DiNozzo would have to suffer and die.
The next morning- Friday
Kate was on the phone during her break talking to her date for the night. It was Friday night and she was glad she didn't have to work tomorrow. She glanced over at Tony who had his head in his hands watching and listening to her conversation.
"Don't you have a life Tony?" She said as she put her hand over the mouthpiece.
"Yes I have a life Kate, but right now I'm enjoying yours."
"I keep thinking one day you'll grow up, you can't be this immature forever. But then I realize……..yes you can, and with the way my luck is going you will be a thorn in my side throughout my career."
"And you wouldn't have it any other way." Tony flashed her a smile.
She turned her back on him and continued her conversation, only quieter now.
Tony, no longer able to hear her, got out from behind his desk and walked over and sat on her desk. He never saw Gibbs approaching. He walked up behind Tony and stood there until Kate turned around and smiled at Gibbs. Tony's smile dropped as he realized he had once more been caught by Gibbs.
"Not enough work to keep you busy DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked.
"No boss, plenty of work." Tony quickly hurried behind his desk and began typing.
Gibbs gave Kate a small smile and she looked at him and mouthed the words thank you.
After Gibbs walked away Tony looked over at Kate.
"So who is the date with, the guy with no chin or the guy with no hair?"
Kate shook her head exasperated.
"John has a very nice chin and I happen to like a bald men."
"You do?" Tony raised his hand to his hair.
"Yes I do." Kate said as she turned away and smiled to herself.
Later
The rest of the day was fairly routine, and since they weren't actively involved in a case at the time they were given the weekend off. Tony of course tried to get Kate to tell him where she was going on her date but she wouldn't tell him. He frowned; it looked like it was going to be a long boring weekend. He took out his little black book and thumbed through it. Let's see he thought. He stopped at the name Linda Cooper. Why not? He dialed her number and smiled when she picked up.
"Hey Linda, Tony."
"Tony! It's been a long time."
"Well, I've been busy." Tony said then quickly added. "Working."
"Yeah Tony, I know how you work…….."She smiled to herself. She knew Tony was a playboy, but she didn't care. He was good looking, sweet, and great in bed. She couldn't wait to hear what he had planned.
"Well anyway, what are you doing tomorrow?" He asked.
"Nothing……….Why, what did you have in mind?"
"I thought maybe a little Chinese………..and then we'll take it from there." He looked over at Kate to make sure she heard. She did but she acted like she wasn't interested.
"Sounds great. My place or yours?"
"How 'bout I'll pick it up and we'll meet at your place at seven?"
"I'll be waiting."
"Okay, see you then bye, bye."
He looked over at Kate and smiled.
"Well it looks like my weekend is set. Hey………..I got an idea, we could double."
Kate gave a little laugh.
"Not a snowball's chance in hell Tony." She started straightening up her desk before she left for the weekend. When she finished, she gave Tony a little smile.
"Have fun Tony, I'm sure I will."
"Yeah, you too Kate." Tony watched as she left, then gave a little sigh and began packing up to leave.
Saturday at 6:00PM
As Tony drove to the Chinese restaurant he tried to remember what Linda liked. He decided to get a little bit of everything. He pulled into the alley next to the restaurant and parked.
Dawson pulled across the street watching. As soon as Tony went in the restaurant he set up his video camera pulled out a cigarette and waited. About fifteen minutes later Tony came out carrying bags of food and headed toward his car fiddling with his keys. Dawson turned on the camera, pulled a dark mask over his face, pulled up his hood, and then headed across the street.
Tony sensed the man coming up behind him and had just begun to turn toward him when a hard blow to his head knocked him to his knees. The Chinese food flew out of his hands and splattered on the pavement. The blow left him completely stunned but instinctively he started reaching for his gun. The second blow dropped him and left him out cold. Dawson grabbed Tony by his legs and pulled his body over to his car. He smiled to himself as he threw Tony in the trunk and filmed him lying there his face covered in blood then slammed the trunk lid shut and turned off the camera. Now all he had to do was send an e mail to Gibbs with a video attachment. He already had the anti tracking device in place so he could e mail Gibbs to his heart's content and know that he couldn't be traced. He only wished he could see his face when he began receiving videos of his teammate being tortured and killed. Oh what sweet revenge he thought smiling as he pulled away.
Dawson took Tony to an abandoned warehouse where he had everything already setup, a generator, a laptop computer, and the video camera which he already had with him. He lay Tony of the cold concrete floor, removed his jacket and shirt and tied his hands to a hook on the floor attached to a makeshift pulley device. He then blindfolded him and put duct tape over his mouth. He then hauled him up till he hung by his wrists from the ceiling. Next he tied his feet together then fastened them to a hook imbedded in the floor. He was now totally helpless. Dawson put his hand up to DiNozzo's face, he was starting to get worried. Tony should have been starting to come around by now. Maybe he had hit him too hard. He took his video camera and filmed him hanging there. He zoomed in on his face, making sure you could see the large purple lump and jagged cut near his temple. Dried blood covered the entire side of his face. He turned the camera off for a minute and positioned it on a table then zoomed in on Tony's stomach. Dawson then put on the black ski mask and pulled up his hood. He picked up a knife and walked over to Tony.
