Needless to say nobody had much of an appetite after Gibbs's blow up. Tony paid for the drinks they had already received and then ushered everybody out of the diner. He noticed the look of concern on Shirley's face as they left and he realized that Gibbs truly was completely different in the real world than he was at NCIS. Tony climbed into the front seat and then looked at the girls who sat in the back. Mollie was leaning hard against the back of the seat, her arms were crossed over her chest, and she had tears in her eyes. Lana sat on the other side of the backseat. She just looked shocked and mildly frightened.

"Do you guys want to go anywhere else?" Tony asked.

"Just take me to my group home. Will give you directions." Lana ordered.

"Alright, Mollie you want to do anything?" Tony asked.

"No" Mollie sniffed.

Tony dropped Mollie off at her group home, more like her prison. There was an outer gate complete with a security guard and then an inner gate. There were no trees and the house looked like something out of a documentary on a third world country. After Lana left Tony again looked at Mollie. She was still crying and it was shattering Tony's heart. He made the drive home in silence and was not at all surprised when Lana ran up to her room without saying a word. He spent the rest of the afternoon sitting on the couch his phone in his hands. Wanting to call Gibbs but not wanting to be verbally attacked a second time. Ziva arrived home with Kelila about seven thirty that evening. She had Kelila on her back and bags from a local Chinese place in her arms. She dumped the food down on the kitchen counter and then returned to the room.

"Have you heard from, Gibbs?" Tony asked, as Ziva set Kelila down on the floor.

"Not since you guys left. Why?" Ziva asked.

"He had a bad freak out at the diner and I was wondering if he had called anyone." Tony explained.

"What happened?" Ziva asked.

"Mollie made friends with this girl Lana and apparently she is Gibbs' niece. I don't know what the hell caused it but when Mollie told him. He just blew up on all three of us. I think he fired me." Tony explained.

"That does not sound like, Gibbs." Ziva remarked.

"Well it happened." Tony argued.

"I don't doubt that. It just doesn't sound like Gibbs." Ziva replied.

"It doesn't and that's what I don't understand." Tony replied.

"You should go check on him. I am going to talk to Mollie. Dinner is in the kitchen whenever you get hungry." Ziva explained.

"I'll be back soon. Hopefully without an application for Arbys." Tony said.

"It will be fine. He was probably just stressed." Ziva assured.

"Yeah and Gibbs always calms down so quickly." Tony murmured.

Tony reluctantly took Ziva's advice and went to check on Gibbs. He really hated facing Gibbs when he was was in a mood but it was necessary. He needed to try and save his job and more importantly he needed to set Gibbs straight over his treatment of Mollie. It was one thing to treat him like crap but nobody messed with his little girl. He pulled into Gibbs' driveway about twenty minutes after he had left his own home. So it was just a little past eight but the lights were already off in the house and the porch light was not on. There was a faint light coming from the basement but not enough to guide him to the house. He turned on his phone's flashlight and made his way up the drive. He kept the flashlight on until he made it to the basement stairs. He peaked over the railing and saw Gibbs hunched over his work table. Once he was on the landing he coughed and Gibbs turned his head to face him. His facial expression was not burning with rage like it had been that afternoon. It had softened to a sad and nearly broken look. A look that Tony could only recall seeing when thinking of Shannon and Kelly. Maybe the news about Lana really was too much for him. Maybe his and Shannon's anniversary was coming up or maybe it was nearing Shannon and Kelly's birthday.

"Well what the hell do you want?!" Gibbs demanded.

"I came for an explanation as to why you made my daughter cry this afternoon?! You can treat me however the hell you want. You are my boss and it is to be expected that you are a hard-ass but you cannot! And I repeat NOT! Have the second B is for bastard act with my child! Good Lord! She is sixteen years old and has been through hell!" Tony snapped.

"Tony I..." Gibbs started.

"NO! This is unacceptable! Dammit would you have let somebody treat Kelly like that?! And then there's Lana! She was terrified and her life isn't exactly easy! I swear to God if you cost my little girl a friendship!" Tony snapped.

"Tony! Please just listen to me!" Gibbs insisted.

"What's your excuse?" Tony asked.

"Because I am scared that it is happening all over again." Gibbs explained.

"What's happening again?" Tony questioned.

"The reason Burley was moved to agent afloat and you are on my team. The reason it was just the two of us for so long. Just before you joined my team. Steph and I had separated and I came back to America. I was given a team. Burley was my SFA and there were two probies as my Junior Agents. Johns and Tucker. They seemed like nice enough kids. I actually let them in almost right away. They were the last people I freely told about Shannon and Kelly." Gibbs explained.

"You attacked my daughter because of two random probies?!" Tony demanded.

"No well sort of but I didn't mean to attack Mollie, you, or even Lana." Gibbs replied.

"Then what happened?" Tony asked.

"I told them about my girls and about a week later they told me that Shannon had been pregnant when she died and that the doctors had saved the baby. That she was in foster care and I could take her in. I was so happy. I had another little girl. I bought all these toys and washed stuff of Kelly's. Then I went down to the address they had given me. There was a girl lying on the bed and she looked real enough. I picked her up and her head fell off. It was a dummy. I just stood there horrified. For a long time I was frozen. Mike had to come, get me, and take me to the hospital. I found out later they had filmed my reaction for America's Funniest Home Videos. Johns and Tucker were fired and Burley who had been in on it but backed out was reassigned. He wasn't part of the prank but he didn't do anything to stop it either. He has since apologized profusely and I have forgiven him, but I have not forgotten what was done to me." Gibbs explained.

"Boss" Tony gasped.

"I guess it was pretty idiotic of me but I can't hurt again." Gibbs replied.

"Well I would never hurt you and neither would Mollie." Tony replied.

"Then who was that girl?" Gibbs asked.

"She was your niece and after Abby runs some tests. We will try again." Tony replied.

"You think she'll let me?" Gibbs asked.

"I will see to it." Tony vowed.
