A/N OK I had to repost this as I didn't like the way it headed at the end and my plot bunny wrangler sat with me and help plan out the next few chapters so changes had to be made. I would like to thank those that reviewed. Amy I would have liked to have replied to you personally but it wouldn't let me but i totally agreed with what you said and I wasn't really happy with the last version of this chapter either, Hence the repost.

I do hope you guys stick with this now we have a cool new direction for this to go in. If not then thanks for reading so far, I appreciate it.

Disclaimer... It ain't mine, :)

Omerta.

Chapter 6

Senior sat in his cell and smiled as he was told how his plan was playing out.

His son was having a rough time and soon the Agents trying to find him to help him should be hunting him down.

Alejandro leaned back and looked at Senior guardedly. "I do not think I ever want you as an enemy." He said with a slight smile.

"That's a very good position to take." Senior agreed. "So I take it Sterling had maneuvered Junior into being the one to do the hand off for your deal."

"Yes," Alejandro answered "He will do the deal, if anything goes wrong there is nothing to tie it back to us and if it goes right it will be the start of a new pipeline for the Reynosa Cartel."

Senior smiled. "Now all we need to do is get out of here and be around to watch the fun."

Alejandro raised an eyebrow. "And just how do you intend to pull that off?" He asked.

"Let's just say the FBI missed some of my assets and money can get you everything." Senior said cryptically, the smile that crossed his face was feral and Alejandro shivered.

Gibbs and Ziva pulled up to the motel just as McGee exited the managers' office with the key for the room Sterling was staying in.

"Boss, the manager said that Sterling checked out an hour ago."

"On his own McGee?" Gibbs asked

Tim turned back to the manager, "I have security cameras'" The manager offered helpfully, "I also have them in the rooms," The manager said rather quickly.

Ziva looked at him disgusted.

"But when you have the footage you need I'll er… take em out!" The manager backtracked quickly and Gibbs raised an eyebrow, "Yeah you will."

"Hey I was being stolen from it was for security only." The manager protested.

"Sure it was." Ziva said acerbically.

Tim pulled up the camera footage and they saw Sterling and another man help what looked like a happy drunken Tony into Sterlings' car.

"It looks like he went willingly Boss," Tim said confused.

"Why would Tony go willingly with the man that framed him for murder?" Ziva asked.

"Good question." Gibbs growled. "Okay, McGee is there any footage from the room?" he asked.

Tim pulled more files up on the computer and managed to get footage from inside the room, "The first parts degraded Boss, but this is what we have."

Sterling walked around the bed and knelt near Tony.

"Tony, Tony don't worry I'll help you we are all in the same boat now, you trust me don't you?" Chip asked.

The data fragmented then cleared up again.

Chip turned and picked up a syringe and shook it at him.

"Do you want more of this?" Chip asked.

Tony said, "Charles…please!" looking pleadingly up at him.

He shuddered as Chip leered at him and leaned over and injected the drug into his system.

As Tony started to succumb to the effects of the narcotic Sterling smiled as if he knew where the camera was.

"Tony, Tony….I hope you know what you're doing seeing as this is your plan. We could call Gibbs; you know I want to stay on the straight and narrow now."

"No! Don't trust…" Tony's voice trailed off.

"Ok, Boss." Sterling said.

He picked up the phone.

"It's me, I need some help with the Boss," Sterling waited as the other man answered "I know…..look I didn't want to get into this but DiNozzo has taken over his fathers business….I didn't believe him at first either but it's true he even killed a Fed. Get over here we have a deal later we can't be late for." Sterling hung up the phone and sat on the bed beside Tony.

"I hope you know what you're doing Boss." He said.

They watched as Sterling watched over Tony until the other man turned up and helped him carry Tony to the car.

"B...Boss?" McGee said unable to believe what he had seen.

"This proves Tony guilty, does it not?" Ziva asked.

"NO." Gibbs snapped. "Put a BOLO out on that car McGee, he's not guilty till I've talked to him,"

"On it Boss," McGee said and went to make a call.

Gibbs wracked his brain, there was no way Tony had gone into his fathers business. There had to be another explanation but he just couldn't think of one.

Gibbs picked up his cell reluctantly and placed a call to Vance to inform him of what he knew so far.

Vance replaced the receiver and sat stunned.

He knew that this had started with him sending DiNozzo undercover but instead of them quickly finding out who was behind the stealing of evidence from lock up it seemed more and more likely that DiNozzo was not only behind this but that he had taken on a roll in his fathers business.

But his gut…..no matter how much he didn't like DiNozzo personally he couldn't deny he was a great agent and his gut said something about all this was off. After the fight DiNozzo had put up, when they had found out he was actually the son of a Mafia Mobster, to stay on the team. There was no way he would have thrown it all away now.

Following his gut had gotten Vance far in life, he wasn't about to ignore it now, he picked up the phone.

"Fornell? Its Vance, I need your help can you come over to my office?" He listened and waited, "Yeah it's about DiNozzo, I need access to his father's files can you arrange that for me…Thanks" He hung up feeling the knot in his gut start to loosen.

"I hope I don't regret this." He said to himself.

Tony woke up in another Hotel room.

"Where am I?" He asked.

Sterling turned in the chair he was sitting in and looked over to Tony.

"A really nice hotel room, we need to leave a nice credit card trail for the alphabets to follow." He said.

"Huh?" Tony didn't follow him.

"You know your lot, NCIS, FBI and any others that come snooping." Sterling explained.

"That bit I got," Said Tony grouchily trying to shake the headache that was threatening to engulf him. "Why my credit card."

"Apart from the fact that you can afford it….If you want to see your daughter again and yes I have checked she is quite safe for now, you need to convince everyone that it was you and not Agent Andrews that was stealing evidence and working with the Reynosa Cartel."

"And if I don't?" Tony snapped.

"Then DiNozzo, Our men will kill your daughter and you will be left in such a state that you will wish you were dead too."

"Who are you working for Chip?" Tony asked realizing it couldn't be Sterlings plan.

"Daddy dearest." Sterling said and grinned as he saw the despair cross Tony's face.

Tony pulled himself up and launched himself bodily at Chip who easily sidestepped.

"You may have been a good Agent at one time DiNozzo but now you're nothing more than a pawn in your fathers quest for revenge and an addict, face it your life is over." Sterling felt this moment was finally the payback he'd been waiting for ever since DiNozzo had got him fired from his job.

"Now get yourself together we have a meeting later. Oh and you need to withdraw 2 million from your account."

"WHAT, NO WAY!" Tony yelled and Sterling hit him.

"Not only will you do it, you will look willing to do it on the security cameras or your daughter is dead." Sterling said.

"Please let me talk to her just so I know she's safe."

"You'll just have to trust me," Sterling sneered. "Or no more daughter and no more drugs and you know you want it."

Tony hung his head and allowed a single tear to escape.

Vance and Fornell walked down the stairs towards the bullpen just as Gibbs and the team stepped off the elevator.

Abby was sitting at Tony's desk hugging Bert.

She looked up as Gibbs walked past the desk. "Have you found him yet?" She asked

Gibbs walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders "Not yet Abbs, But we'll let you know if we find anything."

Fornell answered his phone as he and Vance walked into the bullpen.

"DiNozzo's credit card has just been used at a hotel downtown," Vance said handing Gibbs a piece of paper with an address on it.

"Grab your gear," Gibbs said and they turned.

"WAIT!" Fornell said, "I just had a call, Colomba Senior has escaped. They couldn't find him at role call last night,"

"And they just informed you!" Gibbs said incredulously.
