Chapter 4
Tony woke up and looked over at Tonia sleeping on the bed. He grinned at how sweet she looked.
"Come on, time to get up and moving." He said gently shaking her shoulders.
She groaned and got up. "Breakfast?" She asked. He shrugged apologetically "Cold pizza." She nodded and grabbed a slice, "We'll grab coffee on out way to the next place." He told her.
They packed up and got ready to leave.
Fornell and Gibbs closely followed by McGee and David pulled in around the corner from the motel and next to the car with Agent Sacks in.
"So," Fornell asked his junior agent "Any sign of them?"
"Not yet, according to the manager they are in room 12." Sacks told him.
"Stay here." Gibbs growled and stalked towards the room.
He banged loudly on the door and looked as Tony opened the curtains.
"Tony, Open up, we need to talk!" Gibbs called.
Fornell watched from a distance as the door cracked open, 'don't go in!' he said under his breath and groaned as Gibbs went into the room.
Just as they were grabbing their bags the door knocked.
Tonia and Tony both grabbed their guns.
"Tony, Open up, we need to talk!" he heard from the other side of the door.
"We should run!" Tonia said.
"No, I trust him, wait." Tony said and took his gun out of his belt and opened the door a crack.
"Just you Gibbs." Tony said and let him in.
Gibbs entered the room and sat on the nearest chair. "So, DiNozzo, you wanna fill me in."
Tony sat on the bed and looked lost; Gibbs looked at his SFA and was really surprised to see a look he hadn't ever seen on his face, Terror.
"I kind of lied Boss." Tony said feeling the need to start from the beginning.
"Are you in the Mafia?" Gibbs asked bluntly.
"Not exactly. No." Tony said just as Tonia said "Yes." At the same time.
"You are?" He asked looking at the girl. He noticed as Tony took up a protective stance between Gibbs and the girl.
She pulled herself up to her full height "Tonia DiColomba." She said.
"She's my daughter Boss," Tony said.
Thinking about what he had been told from Fornell he asked his SFA a question he thought he'd never ask. "And who are you...Really?"
Tony took a deep breath and looked at the floor in shame, "You know?"
"I wanna hear it from you, Tony." Gibb said softly.
"Antonio Colomba junior." He said saying a name he vowed he'd never use.
"And the DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked,
"My mother's surname," Tonia said. Gibbs looked confused, "Mother? We thought she was your sister." He said looking again at Tony.
"Her father was my fathers consigliere, we grew up together until I was 12 and my father threw me out, we met up again at Ohio State, I took her name to get away from my father and, well, we fell for each other and she had Tonia who took the Di from her mothers name and the rest of mine." Tony explained and sighed. "I really loved Vittoria but she decided to follow in her fathers footsteps and work for my father and she took Tonia with her and I was forbidden to see her."
Gibbs nodded trying to get his head around the situation.
"I don't and NEVER did want any part of what my father was doing." He laughed a hollow laugh, "Some kid's rebel against their parents by breaking the law, I rebelled by becoming a cop,"
"And you, did you shoot that Petty Officer?" Gibbs asked the kid, annoyed that a child had been brought into all of this.
"Mom, brought me up to be Seniors assassin, I could go where others couldn't. I mean who would look at a child." She said.
"Kind of like Ziva," Tony explained and smiled lopsided at Tonia when she looked confused.
"I'm disappointed in you DiNozzo?" Gibb said after a few moments.
"Why cos I let 'Slacks' contact Fornell and tell you where I was?" Tony grinned.
Gibbs looked surprised but nodded and Tony took comfort in knowing that he'd finally managed to surprise him,
"I had to get you here; I needed to talk to you. I lost my phone remember" Tony looked at Gibbs. "Is there a way out for Tonia?" he asked.
"She committed murder DiNozzo?" Gibbs said.
"She's 16, she's a kid and she was under orders!" Tony yelled.
"We need to bring her in. You to." He added.
"I thought... I could trust you." Tony said the hurt evident on his face.
"You can." Gibbs said, "Come in and we will sort this out."
Tony sat there his head slumped in defeat. "Dad?" Tonia said.
"Tonia, I trust him, for now." Tony said and looked at Gibbs, "We will only come in if you sort this out, please dont turn us over to the FBI, and my father has someone there giving him information."
"Fine," Gibbs clipped out, he picked up his phone. "Ziva, McGee you can come in now." He said.
They both entered and Gibbs turned to Tony. "We have to cuff you." He said and Tony nodded and looked at Tonia, "We will stay together though?" She asked.
"For now." Gibbs said.
Ziva led them both out to Gibb's Car and put them in the back seat.
"I'll take them back with Fornell," Gibbs told his two other agents. "You guys take the bags to Abby for evidence."
Both Gibbs and Fornell got in the car for the ride back to NCIS.
Tony and Tonia sat in the back, Tonia giving her father defiant glares, she hated being handcuffed and couldn't understand why he had let them be taken so easily. But Tony gave her a look she interpreted as it'll be ok and she relaxed a bit.
After about 10 minutes Fornell turned to Gibbs. "Jethro?" He said.
"I see it." Gibbs replied and started taking evasive actions as three black SUV's blocked them in.
"Poppa?" Tonia whispered
Gibbs kept driving and Fornell got his gun out.
"Sorry, Boss." Tony said and looked at Tonia, "Now hun." She nodded in understanding and they both slipped out of their handcuffs and grabbed back up guns from ankle holsters on their legs.
They both shot at the SUV's beside them causing one to flip over and explode. The other two pulled up and Fornell and Gibbs took up protective stances behind their car.
"Ya ain't going with em Tony." Gibbs said mad as hell.
"Glad we're on the same page Boss." Tony smirked back.
As they were firing a fourth SUV pulled up behind them and a woman got out and grabbed Tonia.
"DAD!" She screamed and Tony turned his attention to the action behind him.
"Tori, Let her go. Please!" He begged at the woman.
"No, she comes with us; He'll deal with you later." She shot Tony in the shoulder and as his head cracked on the pavement his sound was of Tonia screaming for him.
