A strong feeling of relief came over Jimmy when he woke up the next morning. The previous night he was sure that he was going to be dead within a matter of hours. He was under protection from NCIS now and agents were looking out for Breena and Victoria. About an hour after he woke up, Jimmy received a text saying that two agents from the New Orleans office had been assigned to Victoria and two more were flying up with Breena. The plane was due arrive at four in the afternoon. From there the Palmer's would be reunited and Breena would be as close to the danger as Jimmy was. He still wished that she would stay in Florida and use the name Slater. They would be reunited soon enough or maybe they wouldn't but this was Jimmy's battle. Breena had simply married into chaos.

Breena stared out the small plane window. Last she had checked her phone it was two forty-five. She was due to arrive home at four and she could not wait. Leaving Victoria in Florida was hard but she knew it was for the best. At least until this drama with Jimmy's father was settled. Jimmy had wanted her to stay in Florida with Tori. He thought she would be safer there and she probably would. Jimmy's father only wanted him. Anyone else would be collateral damage. Still Jimmy feared for her and they both feared for Victoria. Breena knew that she was in danger being with Jimmy but she could not imagine living in the world without him. She would rather die by his side than have to live forever without him. Then she felt terrible for Victoria, fearing that her daughter would grow up an orphan. Still it was better than letting her get killed along with her parents. She had not had enough time on this planet. Most off all Breena just wanted this to be over.

Jimmy walked through the airport. He had one agent in front of him and another behind him. He could feel the stares and hear the just a bit too loud whispers of the other occupants of the airport. All curious about the nervous looking man being closely followed by two official looking people. Jimmy swallowed hard and continued to cross the room. He continued to walk until he saw Breena walking towards him carrying her small overnight bag.

"Breena!" Jimmy called.

"Jimmy!" Breena cried.

"I missed you." Jimmy said.

"I missed you too." Breena replied.

"Did Tori get settled in OK at your sister's?" Jimmy asked.

"She seemed alright when I left and Denise said she would call me tonight with an update." Breena explained.

"I can't wait to see her again. Hopefully this will be over soon and we can have her back. Because I am already missing her like crazy." Jimmy replied.

"Me too" Breena agreed.

"You didn't have to come back." Jimmy remarked.

"I know but I needed to." Breena replied.

"Hopefully things will be OK and my dad won't bother us or he will get arrested for something else before he has the chance to." Jimmy said.

"Your mouth to God's ears." Breena agreed.

Tony nervously ran his hands through his hair. He had been on edge ever since getting the news about Jimmy's dad. He knew that Jimmy's dad would be released after twenty-five years but for Jimmy's sake he was praying that he would do something stupid and end up locked up for the rest of his life. That monster did not deserve to be free. He had brutally murdered two people and left a child with permanent damage. At least so far that bastard had not brought any harm to the Palmer's but he had only been out for one day. There was still time. Too much time.

"Hey Tony, can I use your computer?" Agent Ball asked.

"Don't you have your own, Lex Luther?" Tony asked.

"Would you make those jokes if I had cancer?" Lex questioned.

"If you were awesome I would." Tony replied.

"Did you stop maturing in the third grade or in kindiegrarten?" Lex asked.

"So you needed my computer?" Tony asked.

"Yeah they are running a scan on mine." Lex explained, nervously rubbing his neck.

Tony reluctantly stood and allowed Special Agent Lex Ball to sit at his desk and access his computer. Lex had joined NCIS shortly after Dearing's bomb went off. He was one of the new agents rushed in from another office to replace the dead. He had transferred from the Chicago office. Being promoted from junior agent to the SFA on Monroe's team. He was a gruff man and something about him made Tony uneasy. More than him being a bald man named Lex. There was something about him that Tony did not trust. Most would argue that it was just because he did not see the DiNozzo charm but Tony had a strong feeling that he was not a good guy. He prayed that he was wrong but his gut was almost as good as Gibbs's. After about fifteen minutes Lex logged off and stood up.

"Thanks a million Tony." Lex said.

"It's no problem." Tony replied, awkwardly.

"Well I am going to go get some rest. I have to be at Jimmy's at eight." Lex commented.

"Good luck to you and keep the Palmer's safe." Tony replied.

"I'll do my best." Lex replied, darkly.

Maynard Kemp slammed his fist into the punching bag. Which just happened to bear a photograph of his worthless son. Using LoverMAN's information. He had managed to dig up a current picture of Jimmy on the agency's website. Apparently that twerp had become a Medical Examiner. Pretty dirty job for the boy who wet himself at the sight of a drop of blood. Unfortunately the site only showed a picture and declared that Jimmy had been assisting Dr. Mallard for nearly twelve years now. What a loser! Being nothing more than a crony for over a decade. The sound of his email alert pulled Maynard from his punching bag. He picked up his tablet and opened up the email app. He grinned ear to ear when he saw that he had received another message from LoverMAN89.
