Last time...

Gibbs could hear the smile in the other man's voice but his own parenting skills kicked in.

"Is Tony ok?"

DiNozzo looked back to where his son was sleeping soundly.

"Gibbs, I honestly don't know. When I got here to the apartment. Tony answered the door still dressed in his work clothes, looking rather disheveled and nervous about something."

Chapter 4

In someways, Mr. DiNozzo was grateful that he had left his son with the Yacker family. He was also grateful that Agent Gibbs also watched out for Tony.

While talking on the phone with the said Agent, Mr. DiNozzo managed to get some well needed advice on how to take care of his son.

Mr. DiNozzo went into the kitchen of his son's medium size apartment. What he saw in the refrigerator almost made him gag.

When was the last time Jr ate a home cooked meal?

He thought to himself as he grabbed his coat and keys and left the apartment.

Tony was gonna sleep for a few hours. Gibbs had ordered Sr. to make sure of that.

Two hours or so later, Tony DiNozzo woke to wonderful smells coming from his kitchen.

His stomach growled as he got out of bed. He showered and then changed into clean clothes.

He entered the kitchen and smiled at the scene he saw.

"Whats all this?" he asked as he sat down for the first time in several years at his kitchen table.

"A good home cooked meal instead of that take out crap you always eat" Mr. DiNozzo said.

Tony's face redden.

Mr. DiNozzo watched his son dig into the whole wheat pasta and meatballs he had made for his son and himself before taking a bite of his own pasta.

No words were exchanged between the two DiNozzos until every bite of food was swallowed.

It was only when the dishes were placed into the dishwasher did Mr. DiNozzo speak.

"Gibbs told me a little about the case you are working on. Care to explain why you need to talk to me?"

Tony paled slightly

They were still sitting at Tony's kitchen table.

"Let's take this to the sofa Dad" Tony said as he got up.

His dad followed him.

Once they were both seated Tony spoke.

"Dad do you remember Lexi Finn Yacker?"

Mr. DiNozzo thought about the name before nodding.

"Yea why?"

Tony gulped before answering

"She was kidnapped by the DC mob in New Hope, PA. Dad" Tony said

Sr. paled while Tony looked scared and nervous.

Meanwhile somewhere in the DC area...

Her hands were tied tightly behind her to a pipe. She was in the basement of a luxurious mansion that belonged to the Boss of the DC mob.

She had lied to her brother to keep him safe. She hadn't lied to her mother about going to school in Johnstown, Pa, exactly but her mother didn't need to know about her other outside of school activities.

She was an undercover agent after all? Wasn't she?
