Chapter Two
Please read hope you enjoy oh and by the way I introduce some new Charectors in this Chapter that will in later chapters come in more often, Here they are:
Milo DiNozzo: Tony's father, if you ask me a rat bastered but yeah anyway does not treat other people in any since except for business.
Frankie Martinez: A Tanglewood Boy, who plays in the high legue's with the rich people and such. He will later be in this story a lot.
Dante Cortez: Milo's lawyer, not afraid to stand up to him because he knows he's not replacable.
I brought Detective Sean Paterson back into the story instead of just have him barely come in at the beganing, he's in this chapter and will be in others as well.
Last but not least: Lorenzo Estevez: RJ's apartment roommate, a alcoholic, cigarette junky, who is also alfiliated with the Tanglewood Boy's but is not a member more of a wanna be and there just stringing him along. Will show up in later chpaters as well.
"Did your father do this to you? Tony did he do this to you?" Gibbs asked. Tony wouldn't make eye contact with him no matter how hard he tried to get him to talk he was closed up now. Gibbs placed his right hand on the boy's cheek and the left on his shoulder. "Tony it's ok to tell me, I promise I won't let anyone hurt you ever again." Gibbs said pulling Tony to him and hugging him to his chest. He felt Tony start to shake and then felt the tears seep through his shirt.
"E 'stata colpa mia che non lo avrebbe lasciato da solo quando stava cercando di lavorare, sono stato praticamente ne faccia richiesta." Tony cried. (T: It was my fault I wouldn't leave him alone when he was trying to work, I was practically asking for it.) Gibbs continued to hug him afraid if he pulled back, Tony would see the anger in his eye's, and take it the wrong way.
"It was your father, wasn't it Tony?" Gibbs asked. Tony pulled back and whipped his hand across his noise to whip the snot that started to form there from crying. Tony looked up at Gibbs with such trust in one day that Gibbs was pretty sure he actually heard that wall of his that held all his emotions from when Shannon and Kelly had gone, cracking.
"Sì" Tony said and silent tears fell.
"Oh come on! Are you serious!" Milo said as he read through the file that his assistant just handed him.
"I'm sorry Mr. DiNozzo, but there was nothing I could do they pulled out at the last minute, said they changed there minds and wanted a new agreement." His assistant Kendal said.
"Ok thanks Kendal, that will be all." Milo dismissed her. As soon as she was out of the room Milo went over to the door and locked it. He went back over to his computer and typed in a few words and brought up an image and profile of Company Holder Mason Bridges of the manufacturing company for bullet proof vests. By this time he was suppose to be share holder to that company. But that damn Agent Gibbs had to call during the meeting screwing up his chances. Something about his son, he could care less that little brat has been a problem since the day he was borne. In fact he should have never been borne.
He looked over the file and saw that Mason Bridges had a younger sister, 'excellent' he thought as he picked up his phone. "Frankie, hey pal! How you been." Milo said and heard him answer not really caring. "Listen think you could do me a favor?" Milo asked.
"I don't know Milo, man you got feds on you right now." Frankie said through the phone. Milo frowned.
"How do you know bout that, and I do not." Milo said defensively.
"Man, words out your kids on a hit list and no one can find him, I'd say the feds are protecting him if he's not with you. Man your kid was a TV stare today! All over the news, but hey that's not all I heard, heard he was also the star witness." Frankie said, Milo bit his lips to control his anger.
"Witness to what!" Milo said hardly able to control his temper.
"Man, you haven't heard yet it was all over the news were you been sleep'n?" Frankie joked, and not hearing Milo laugh, he became serious. "There was a murder of a marine your kid witnessed the whole thing, that's what the magic box said anyway." Frankie said. Milo thought for a minute and remembered a little more to the conversation with Agent Gibbs he had hardly paid attention to.
"Frankie can you do the favor or not." Milo said changing the subject back to the original conversation.
"I don't know man like I said It'll be risky whatever it is you want to ask me to do and I know you so I'm pretty sure I have an idea." Frankie said.
"You will be paid greatly if the plane works." Milo said then added. "And my plans always work." After a pause Frankie answered.
"Alright. What'd a you need me to do?" Frankie asked.
"Rachel Bridges, form B with snap shots. Send the photo's to Mason Bridges Estate. Your style, you know how you like it." Milo said.
"You got it, payment the usual way?" Frankie asked.
"Yeah, see ya around Frankie." Milo said hanging up. He looked straight ahead for a moment then picked up his phone again and dialed. "Kendal could you come back in here please." After he hung up he remembered he locked the door and got up to unlock it as he did he picked up his planer to look at, for what was going on tomorrow as he was heading back to his chair Kendal came in.
"You needed me sir." Kendal asked.
"Yes, Anthony's nanny who is she." Kendal gave Milo a raised eyebrow and a questioning look.
"What nanny Mr. DiNozzo?" Kendal asked.
"Anthony's nanny the one who was suppose to pick Anthony up last night when I left the restaurant." Milo said.
"Sir, that nanny quit her job that morning, something about you needing to spend more time with your kid." Kendal said, Milo looked up shocked not remembering that.
"Ok thank you that will be all." Milo said and Kendal nodded and left. Milo tapped his desk for a moment and picked up his phone again.
"Dante, hey I need your help with something. Think you could stop by?" Milo asked.
"What did you get yourself into this time DiNozzo?" Dante Cortez, Milo's lawyer asked.
"I'll explain when you get here." Milo said.
"Milo, I can't just drop everything every time you call wolf, if that was so then I'd be out of the business." Dante complained.
"Would you'd like it better if I fired you then you'd be out of the business a heck of a lot faster." Milo said gruffly.
"We both know you wont do that, I'm to good at my job, and you like me." Dante said, Milo rolled his eye's in annoyance.
"Are you coming or not?" Milo asked.
"Sure I'll come around 8 alright, I have some papers to finish up first." Dante said hanging up the phone before Milo could.
"Why are we in New York at 11:30 at night again?" Flynn said as he drove the car through another intersection that they had to sit 15 minutes at. Even at night the city was still alive.
"Well, lets see maybe because Gibbs is on protective duty in every since of the word and Franks ordered us to find RJ and bring him in for questioning." Christy said as she leaned back in her seat resting her head on her hand that was propped up against the window.
"Right, ok so do you know were this police station is at were suppose to meet up with that one detective, remember?" Flynn said raking through his memory for the detectives name.
"Sean Paterson." Christy said, Flynn looked at her questionably.
"What." Flynn said.
"Sean Paterson, that's the detectives name." Christy said while looking out her window. Flynn raised an eyebrow at her.
"Somebody got a crush on hot New York detective, Christy?" Flynn said with a hint of a smile on his lips.
"Don't be ridicules." Christy said although there wasn't much of a defense behind it. Flynn smiled.
"Your just lucky Gibbs isn't here to tease you about it." Flynn said as he turned left and spotted a building that looked sort of run down with a New York Police Department Sign barely readable on it. "Looks like we found it." Flynn said pulling into a parking spot. They both got out as soon as Flynn pulled the keys from the ignition and locked the car. They headed up and into the police station that was constantly being entered and exited by a whole lot of different kind of people. Flynn looked at Christy and she sighed.
They entered the building themselves and saw a lot more people inside running about, to tell you the truth the place looked like a zoo gone wild then a police department. Flynn raised an eyebrow and looked over at the information desk there were three ladies were sitting there all of them on a phone. Flynn steered Christy in that direction. They got to the desk and Flynn waved his hand in front of the first woman he saw and she raised her pointer finger at him to wait.
"Excuse me miss, were looking for Detective Paterson." Flynn tried looking at Christy for conformation that he got the name right. The woman held the same finger up again while still on the phone with someone. Flynn looked around and saw that all three woman were still on the phone and all the officers were running around like it was the end of the world but in there own way they were pretty organized.
Christy looked around and saw an officer who was at his desk writing on a note pad who looked absolutely bored like he wanted to be somewhere ells. She looked back at Flynn and saw that he was still trying to get the ladies attention, so she left his side and headed over to the officer.
"Excuse me officer." She said in her most sweetest voice and when he looked up she smiled flirtatiously at him and batted her eye lashes. He looked up shocked for a second then recovered and smiled.
"What can I do for you ma'am?" The officer said Christy smiled.
"Do you know were I can find a Detective Sean Paterson?" Christy asked him she could almost see the disappointment in his eye's that she wasn't looking for anything ells from him.
"Yeah sure." He said as he got up heading in the direction she had come as they passed the information desk she saw Flynn still there trying to get the ladies attention.
"O'Connor, loose something? Come on, catch up." Christy said as she passed him Flynn turned around gapping at her, then caught himself with his mouth open and ran after the two to catch up.
They came up to a desk that looked particularly messy and saw a man hunched over it looking at a report.
"Um sir this lady was looking for you." The officer said which Christy had not bothered to get a name from. The Detective looked up and saw them then waved the officer off, Christy was not blind to the fact as the officer turned to leave he gave a once over of her body before he completely left.
"We were both actually looking for you." Christy said holding her hand out. "We actually already meet at the crime scene Agent Christy White." She said shaking his hand.
"Right, and Agent O'Connell?" Paterson said looking at Flynn.
"Actually it's O'Connor, Agent Flynn O'Connor." Flynn said holding out is hand as Paterson shook it.
"Right you guy's called ahead said you got a lead and your number one suspect is RJ." Paterson said as he sat back in his chair looking up at them.
"Yeah, so you want to help us arrest him for questioning?" Christy asked.
"Sure, but it ain't gon'na be easy, I tell ya." Paterson said.
"How so?" Flynn asked.
"Well all the times I had to bring him into questioning, let's say he didn't get the nick name jack rabbit from the NYPD for no reason." Paterson explained Flynn raised and eyebrow and looked at Christy, they both thought 'this should be interesting.'
They were in the elevator of the apartment complex were RJ was supposedly at with his roommate, Lorenzo Estevez who also had a rap sheet and is affiliated with the Tanglewood Boy's.
"RJ, has been held up with Lorenzo for a while now." Paterson said as the elevator came to a stop at the floor they wanted and it was not one of those fancy elevators either you opened the door yourself. Paterson did the honors. They all three stepped out and came to a stop outside of apartment number 422. Paterson banged on the door.
"Lorenzo Estevez, NYPD open up!" Paterson hollered after he 'knocked' on the door. They heard some stumbling about in the room and then the door opened with a man that was the same height as Christy but shorter then both Flynn and Sean, 'Which was pretty short eh hem no offence to Christy' Flynn thought to himself. He had jet black hair that stuck up in all directions and a five o'clock shadow on his chin. He had a bottle of jack in his left hand and a cigarette in his right. He squinted at the three officers and then tipped back to get a better look, most likely drunk out of his mind.
"What?" He said in a slurred voice.
"Sir could we please come in." Christy said showing him her badge and the other two did the same.
"Yeah sure you can come in, but those two will have to wait out here till were done." Lorenzo said winking at her. She smiled sweetly then an evil glint shown in her eye's. She stepped up to him and hung off his left shoulder and slid her knee up.
"Or I could just see what happens when my leg slips." She said putting a little pressure in that particular spot.
"Alright, alright come in." Lorenzo said Paterson raised an eyebrow and looked at Flynn.
"Don't ask." Flynn said and entered right behind Christy with the detective behind him.
"So Lorenzo how you been?" Paterson asked looking around the apartment.
"Like you wouldn't know you've been watching my every move." Lorenzo said as he sat down in a Lazy Boy chair. Paterson smirked.
"Where's RJ?" Flynn asked getting tired of the game they were playing it was getting close to midnight and he wanted to go home to bed.
"Like I should know." Lorenzo said looking up at them as he took another sip of the bottle of jack. Christy took the bottle from him and set it on the coffee table nearby. "Hey!" Lorenzo said reaching for the bottle Christy pushed him back in the chair and Flynn picked up the bottle.
"Listen closely Lorenzo and listen good ok?" Flynn said while he looked at the label of the jack bottle. Lorenzo nodded. "You see it's really late and I had to drive all the way up here to pick up some idiot to question him. I have a headache and I am tired out of my mind it is bad enough I have a crazy bitch of an ex wife that hardly ever lets me get any sleep but now I have to deal with you at." Flynn cut himself off and looked at his watch. "12:20 at midnight, so I'm not in a good mood so if you think for a moment were going to play your little game well then your far off so this is how it's going to go. You tell us were RJ is or we ransack this entire apartment and empty every bottle of jack we find and if that don't work we'll head to the cigarettes next." Flynn said, by then they had Lorenzo complete and undivided attention. Christy looked at Flynn shocked of his outburst with the same face as Paterson and Lorenzo. Flynn just kept looking at Lorenzo.
"He said he was going out probably clubbing he'll be back he always comes back." Lorenzo said a little distastefully. Flynn nodded and handed the bottle back to him then looked at the other two as they headed out the door. Once the door was shut Christy looked at Flynn and at the same time the both said "Stake out."
Gibbs woke with a start and realized he had fallen asleep he looked around and also realized he was in the guest room with Tony on his chest sound asleep. After Tony had confirmed that it was his father that had given him that bruise he started to cry silently and Gibbs heart practically broke at the sight of it he hugged him to his chest and lifted him up carrying him over to the bed Gibbs sat back on it with his back to the head bored and Tony on his chest sobbing. Gibbs rubbed his back in a comforting motion while his right hand was on the side of Tony's face. Tony's tears going over his thumb as Gibbs tried to wipe them away but more came. Tony's hands were clenched in Gibbs shirt and his legs wrapped around his waist.
"Sh it's alright I will not let him hurt you no more. You got that Tony? You hear me I will NOT let him hurt you no more." Gibbs said to Tony as he rocked him. Tony nodded his head and his crying started to turn into hiccups. In Gibbs own eye's, there were the beginnings of his own tears at the amount of pain in the boys sobs.
Now looking at the boy he saw him completely relaxed in his sleep on top of him. Gibbs ran his hand through the boy's hair, and Tony snuggled closer to him. Gibbs smiled and ran his hand down Tony's cheek kissing the top of his head. Gibbs looked over at the alarm clock and saw that it was 4 in the morning. They had slept through most of the whole night, Gibbs was a little surprised by that. But he stayed there for a moment then remembered that they were supposed to be in the office first thing in the morning, so he slipped out from under Tony and walked into his room to get a change of clothes which reminded him of the problem with Tony's clothes. After he got out of the shower and changed he headed over to the phone and dialed a familiar number.
"He Duck think you could do me a favor." Gibbs asked.
"Sure, Jethro what do you need?" Ducky asked.
"A set of new clothes for Tony, you know the little boy we found at the crime scene yesterday?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes of course what a sweet boy he was too if I remember right what age is he and I'll be over with some clothes in a bit."
"He's 8 thanks Ducky." Gibbs said.
"No problem Jethro." Ducky said and Gibbs hung up the phone. Gibbs headed back to the guest room and saw Tony still sound asleep on his stomach face facing the door. Gibbs smiled at how young and cute he looked. A flash memory of watching Kelly like this went through his head, but instead of aching pain he felt peace with himself as he watched Tony.
He stood there watching for a bit, but then thought if he wanted to get something into Tony's stomach before Ducky showed up and they had to change and go he would have to wake him up now and feed him. He walked over to Tony and ran his hand through his hair again and kissed his forehead. "Wake up sleepy head we have a long day today." Gibbs said quietly. Tony slowly opened his bright green eye's and stared at Gibbs for a moment then smiled.
"I though I had dreamt everything up." Tony said in a little bit better English although hindered by sleep. Gibbs chuckled then tousled Tony's hair. Tony giggled and pushed his hand away flatting his already bed head. Gibbs laughed then got up.
"Come on what do you want for breakfast?" Gibbs asked. Tony looked up surprised.
"I don't know, nobody's ever asked me that before." Tony said thinking hard for what he really wanted. "How about pancakes?" Tony said although he had a little trouble saying pancakes as difficult English is and all. Gibbs smiled.
"Pancakes it is." Gibbs watched as Tony smiled wide and Gibbs bent down and picked him up he carried him down stares and into the kitchen. Tony had wrapped his arms around Gibbs neck and his head was rested on Gibbs shoulder. Once Gibbs reached the kitchen he sat Tony down on a chair and got the ingredients out and put them into a bowl then set the bowl in front of Tony picked him up and placed him on his lap as he sat down.
"Would you like to help?" Gibbs asked. Tony looked up at him surprised yet again and smiled excitedly.
"Veramente?" Tony asked. (T: Really)
"Sì, certo davvero." Gibbs said and handed him the spoon while he held the bowl. (T: Yes, of course really.) Tony started stirring and the mix started to look more like pancake batter. While he was stirring he had both hands held tightly to the spoon and his tongue sticking out of his mouth while Gibbs held the bowl. But he stirred to close to the top and his tight grip backfired and the spoon shot out with batter on it which flew off and into Gibbs face. Tony cringed and turned slowly around with the spoon still loosely in his hands and looked to see the damage. The Batter had landed on Gibbs face in a line from his chin, to his mouth, on his nose, and on his left eye. Gibbs tongue licked out and took some in and then with his left hand wiped the rest off. Tony's face still in a cringe continued to look at him. When Gibbs completed wiping off his face off he looked at Tony and Tony laughed a little with his face still cringed. "Whoops." He said, Gibbs at about this point saw the humor in the whole thing and burst out laughing. Tony surprised that he is not in trouble stared at Gibbs like he was crazy and with a little confusion until Gibbs tousled his hair again. Tony laughed as well.
Ducky pulled up into Gibbs driveway and shut off his engine he got out and opened the back door he grabbed the newly bought jeans and t-shirt, he also bought a new pair of shoes and a black jacket with two white stripes down the sleeves since it was a bit nippy out. He walked up the side walk and went to open the door to find it locked. He was surprised for a moment then knocked.
The door opened and the site that greeted him made him burst out in laughter. Gibbs stood there holding Tony in his arms both covered in syrup. Gibbs laughed a little and motioned with his head for Ducky to enter.
"What on earth happened here Jethro?" Ducky said with humor in his voice, already knowing what happened but couldn't help saying something.
"Had a little struggle with the syrup bottle and the pancakes." Gibbs said. "Did you get the clothes I asked for Ducky?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes, I did and some extra things." Ducky said. Gibbs raised an eyebrow but Ducky handed him the bag and pointed up the stares. "You two go get yourselves cleaned up I'll clean up the mess in the kitchen." Ducky added.
"Thanks Duck." Gibbs said as he headed up stares.
After getting up stares Gibbs placed the sack on the bed and then headed to the bathroom with Tony in his arms. He set him down standing in the middle and motioned for him to fallow to the tub.
"You take showers or baths, Tony?" Gibbs asked. Truthfully nobody had asked him that question before ether so a little confused and thoughtful for a moment. He always took a bath because the nanny had always set one up for him, but he wanted to be a big boy and take a shower.
"Is it alright if I take a shower?" Tony asked in his Italian accent, Gibbs nodded.
"Yeah of course, ok listen alright, you pull up it turns the water on you move it to the left its hot right its cold. To turn on the shower you pull up on this button here." Gibbs said then looked at Tony as he took in the information. "You got it?" Gibbs asked.
"Sì." Tony said excitedly.
"Alright, and right over there is the towels when your done. The sop and shampoo is in there on the shelf it's reachable." Gibbs said pointing them out and Tony looked around. "I'll be just in the other room if you need me." Gibbs said Tony nodded although a bit afraid Gibbs was going to leave him, he wanted to be a big boy so he let him go.
A half an hour after Gibbs left him in there, Tony came out with the towel wrapped around him and his hair plastered to his face Gibbs smirked and motioned for him to come once Tony was there he handed him the newly bought boxers. Tony slipped them on and Gibbs took the towel and through it on top of Tony's head and started drying it. Tony burst out laughing at the unexpected action. Gibbs smiled and pulled the towel off once he thought his hair was dry enough. Gibbs reached over for the new pair of jeans and pulled of the tag. He held them open so Tony could step into them, Tony placed his hand on Gibbs shoulder to steady himself as he stepped in. As he was doing that Gibbs noticed another bruise on Tony's shoulder that was hid by his shirt last night. Gibbs kicked himself for not looking for more injuries. After Gibbs pulled the pants up once Tony got into them, He then buttoned and zipped them up as well for Tony before looking in his eye's.
"Tony quanti lividi avete?" Gibbs asked, Tony looked at him surprised for a moment then started to get scared. (T: Tony how many more bruises do you have?) Gibbs locked eye's with him and Tony looked down to the floor. "Hey, è bene non ho bisogno di essere spaventato voglio solo aiutarti." Gibbs said lifting Tony's chin. (T: Hey, it is alright no need to be scared I just want to help you.)
"La mia schiena." Tony said. (T: My back.) Gibbs nodded and slowly turned Tony around getting another one of those sickening feeling in his stomach. Once Tony was turned around Gibbs placed his hand over his mouth as a single tear slid down his face.
"Jesus Tony." Gibbs said there were several large black/blue/purple bruises on Tony's back.
"Era ubriaco e aveva mal di testa, e non sarebbe abbastanza per il nuovo gioco ho imparato a giocare." (T: He was drunk and had a headache, and I would not be quite about the new game I learned how to play.) Tony said feeling the need to defend his fathers actions. Gibbs looked at him in horror, how could he think this was his fault. Gibbs turned him back around and pulled him to his chest hugging him.
"That does not give him an excuse to do this Tony. Nothing does. You hear me. No one should ever do this to their child. Ever." Gibbs said holding Tony, Tony nodded against his chest.
"I wish you were my daddy." Tony said into Gibbs chest. Gibbs felt his heart pound hard at that something that he had not felt in a long time, and he felt his love for the boy increase if that was even possible. He too, wished that he was this boys father. And if he played his cards right that just might happen. The plane was already formulating in his head.
Gibbs kissed the top of his head, and then reached over and picked up the shirt that Ducky got and saw that it was a hulk green shirt, he smirked and took off the tag and slipped it over Tony's head and put his arms through his sleeves. Then he reached over and picked up the jacket took of the tag, and held it up for Tony to slip his arms into. Gibbs looked over and saw a pair of sneakers left in the bag Gibbs thought for a moment that Tony would have to go without socks when he saw them sticking inside the shoes. Ducky always thinks of everything. After getting his socks on then slipped his shoe's on but did not tie them. He looked down at the floor for a moment and then at Gibbs. Gibbs smiled and knew what the problem was no one had taught him how to tie his shoe's. Gibbs reached down and tied them, that will be something he will be teaching the boy sometime soon.
Gibbs had already taken a shower in the hallway bathroom, while Tony was taking his in his bedroom bathroom. So after Tony was ready Gibbs took his hand and they both headed down stares to start the day. Ducky meet them at the bottom of the steps and they headed to headquarters. When they first got there they headed straight for Lilly's lab. Gibbs told Ducky to watch Tony in the Lab while he talked to Lilly in her office. That was not a problem because Tony had come to like Ducky quite a bit always genially listening to all the rambling stories the old man told.
Lilly and Gibbs came back form the office Lilly with a field camera in her hands. "Tony we are going to take some pictures of those bruises is that alright." Lilly asked politly getting on her knees in front of Tony. Ducky had already been told by Gibbs on the way over. Tony looked frightened not knowing what was happening and looked to Gibbs, Gibbs nodded and Tony looked back to Lilly. He nodded his head slowly.
Through the whole process Gibbs stayed by Tony's side calming him down when he got scared. Ducky was there too, writing up his statement of the bruises stating that some were over weeks old others newer and some older. Once everything was done Gibbs collected the paper and pictures and put them into a brown folder. He nodded to Ducky and Lilly he grabbed Tony's hand and nodded with his head that they were heading out, and headed to the elevator.
Lilly looked at Ducky at the same time he did her. "Ah, Gibbs is going to try to be a daddy!"
"If I know Gibbs, he will be a father, Lilly." Ducky said knowingly. Lilly just smirked as Ducky left to go down to autopsy.
The elevator stopped at the floor to the Bullpen, Gibbs and Tony exited it and headed over. The sight that greeted Gibbs was Flynn leaning back in his chair icepack on his face, not sure where if anywhere particular he had it on, his hand in a sling and his foot up on his desk with an icepack on it. Gibbs looked over to Christy and saw she was leaning back in her desk as well with her foot on her desk and an icepack on it and an icepack pressed to her jaw. He looked over at Mike and saw him filling out reports at his desk looking perfectly healthy.
"Gibbs your late." Mike stated not looking up, all a sudden he got up. "Milo DiNozzo is up in the conference room with his lawyer." Mike said.
"Good because I have a plane." Gibbs said, Mike raised a questioning eyebrow, but Gibbs just shrugged it off. "Hey Christy, Flynn mind watching Tony?" Gibbs asked he heard a groan from Flynn and a ah uh from Christy and looked to Mike this time, with a raised eyebrow.
"Arresting a suspect can be painful." Mike said with shrug. Gibbs just smirked and shook his head. Gibbs turned to Tony and bent down to his level.
"You wait here for me with Agent Flynn and Christy, ok." Gibbs said Tony nodded and Gibbs led him over to his desk and sat him down at his desk. Once Gibbs and Mike walked away and up to the conference room, Tony got up and walked over to Flynn. He reached out and poked the agents arm that was in the sling. The agent jumped and yelped making Tony jump back in surprise. The icepack feel of the agents face and Tony saw the swollen spot on his forehead, nose and chin. Tony looked at it confused before he realized that the agent was looking at him annoyed and a little angry. Curiosity got the better of Tony and he couldn't help but ask the question.
"How did you get a bruise that looks like that?" Tony asked, the person who answered was not Flynn however it was Christy.
"First while trying to arrest the suspect that backfired on him and the suspect dislocated his shoulder and ran off behind him. In pain for a moment he stayed there for a bit while me and another officer ran after him. Then once the pain was over he turned around to run after us and ran into a pole falling down knocking himself out and twisting his ankle." Christy finished Tony dropped his jaw and laughed Flynn rolled his eye's then cringed in pain.
"Why don't you ask her were she got her injury's." Flynn said putting the icepack back on his face. Although he was annoyed with the kid for poking his hurt arm he thought he was cute. Tony looked over at Christy questionably.
"I got mine in a much less ego bruising way, I was in a fight with the suspect got punched in the jaw and kicked the wrong way, but that was it and the other officer some bruised ribs but should be fine." Christy finished.
"That is so cool!" Tony said. Christy smiled at his enthusiasm and looked over at Flynn who had put the icepack down from his face and was smiling fondly at the boy himself, Christy then went back to putting the icepack back on her jaw.
Gibbs opted to take the elevator and brought Mike with him, once in there and the doors shut, Gibbs hit the emergency switch. He told Mike the plane and continued up. They got to the door and Gibbs burst in before Mike not nicely ether. He saw both the lawyer and Milo standing looking out the window.
"Have a seat." Gibbs said gruffly. Mike sat back in the back chair furthest away.
"Agent…" Milo said in a business manor. Gibbs didn't answer.
"Agent Gibbs, his name is agent Gibbs and mine is Agent Franks." Mike answered for Gibbs he did not want to a have a lawsuit.
"Agent Gibbs may I have my son now." Milo asked.
"No" Gibbs answered.
"Excuse me, you've had my son for over 24 hours now, do I need to get my lawyer here involved!" Milo said a bit angry.
"Well if you go this rout, then you both can take a look at these and we have copies." Gibbs said placing the folder on the table for them to look at. "Now here is what your going to do as witness protection for Tony, Usually we would find a way for you and your son to go under as in new name everything. But then there comes that folder and the information that is in it." Gibbs said Milo raising his head and his lawyer as well from the folder. "You are going to sign adoption papers on Tony and all parental legal rights will be mine." Gibbs said. "He will have my name and be in my protection and you will never see him again if I have anything to do with it." Gibbs finished. Milo looked like he was about to explode with anger.
"And what if I don't." Milo said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Well then this can all go public, we'll even have a public court for abusing your child. Then after you are sentenced you'll be discredited, and loose your business and all your money." Gibbs said looking the man in the eye's. The man looked back at him and then at his lawyer.
"Milo I say you sign the papers to keep your business, and not go public." Dante said, Milo nodded and Gibbs anger at his carelessness of his child increased but he held it back for now.
"Where are the papers?" Milo asked. Gibbs put them on the table, he had asked Lilly to print them out and review them over the phone with the navy lawyers upstairs.
"Here." Gibbs said and placed them in front of Milo with a pen. Milo picked up the pen and his lawyer pointed out all the places he was suppose to sign. After he was done he slid the papers back to Gibbs.
"May I leave now." Gibbs raised his hand and motioned for him to sit back down once they both started to stand up. Gibbs looked through the papers making sure that he crossed his t's and dotted his I's also to make sure he didn't miss a spot then put the paper into the folder.
"You may go." Gibbs said as they all got up Mike the first at the door, Gibbs next, then Milo and Dante. Mike turned and smirked at Gibbs and Gibbs smirked back. As fast as you could say owe, Gibbs spun around and clocked Milo right in the nose hearing the break. Milo feel into Dante who caught him. He held his nose for a moment and pulled his hand back to look at the blood.
"You broke my nose." Milo said as he struggled to get up.
"Yeah, and if you harm a hair on my son again, and trust me it wont just be your nose." Gibbs said as he got so close to Milo he could almost smell the blood. Mike held the door open and then Gibbs left and right after Mike. While Milo was screaming lawsuit all the way, and his lawyer trying to calm him down, because he knew that there was nothing he could do.
Gibbs came down into the Bullpen and saw his son sitting at his desk drawing while the other two Agents were pretty much in the same position they were in before he left. Gibbs went around and came in behind his desk getting on his knees to be eye level with Tony. Tony had stopped drawing looking at him expectantly.
"Tony, remember that wish you made?" Gibbs asked, it took Tony a moment to remember but then he shook his head yes and waited his heart pounding. Gibbs pulled him into a hug "Well I just made it come true." Gibbs whispered in his ear. Tony hugged Gibbs harder and whispered in his ear.
"I love you daddy." Gibbs smiled and picked him up while hugging him he looked over at Mike.
"Go ahead gunny take a day off it's not like were going to get any work done with these two like this anyways." Mike told him. Gibbs nodded and headed out with his son in his arms.
On the way out the door to his car Gibbs whispered in Tony's ear, "I love you too, son."
