A/N After discussions with my Twinny and the fact I didn't like the direction this was heading in I rewrote the last paragraph of chapter 6. I am happier with this direction. I hope you all are too.
Thanks for the reviews Including the one which kicked my Ass! (Which was well deserved) I hope this doesn't disappoint.
Disclaimer as chapter 1
Enjoy:)

Chapter 7
Gibbs and Fornell took their respective teams and got to the hotel.
They took positions and Gibbs kicked the door in "NCIS," He yelled as both Tony and Sterling looked at him in bewilderment.
"Sterling you're under arrest for possession of heroin." Fornell said.
"Tony are you ok?" Gibbs asked
"No, He's got Tonia. Let me go I have to save her." Tony practically screamed while trying to get out of Gibbs' grasp.
"Tony she's safe, she's at school." Gibbs said.
"No you're lying, I saw the pictures." Tony insisted.
Gibbs turned to McGee, "Go to Georgetown and get Tonia and meet us at the hospital." He said McGee nodded and left.
"Ziva take pictures and then meet Fornell in interrogation I want you there when he talks to Sterling." Gibbs said and picked up his cell. "Ducky, we have Tony; I'm heading to Bethesda with him now. Can you meet us there?" He waited while Ducky replied and hung up.
Sterling sat at the table and looked up as Fornell and Ziva entered the room.
Fornell sat and threw a folder on the table in front of him, "We've got you on tape supplying heroin to Agent DiNozzo, you're going down for that, question is do you want to help yourself?"
"What do you have in mind?" Sterling asked guardedly.
"Colomba Senior, escaped from prison last night. What do you know about that?" Fornell asked.
"Nothing…I do know that DiNozzo didn't take the evidence from lock up, what about that?" Sterling offered.
Fornell looked at him and raised an eyebrow waiting for Sterling to continue.
"It was Agent Andrews, He's been on the Colomba payroll for years, Senior had him keeping tabs on DiNozzo and he paid Andrews to set up DiNozzo so he'd get arrested and lose all he had." Sterling said.
"Whose idea was it to get Tony hooked on heroin?" Ziva asked
"Colombas' he wanted DiNozzo as spaced out as he could get so his plan would work."
"What plan?" Fornell asked.
"To completely destroy, DiNozzo's life." Sterling said blandly.
Gabby Johnson walked into the hospital room and looked at Gibbs and DiNozzo.
"Welcome back Tony," She smiled.
Tony tried focusing on her, he recognized her voice but not the person, and he looked over at Gibbs, "Have you got Tonia yet?" He asked.
"She's probably on her way here now, I sent McGee to get her."
"Call him, Boss, Please. I know she's in trouble." Tony begged. Gibb gut twinged at the earnestness in his Agents voice.
"Okay I'll call McGee," He said. He picked up his phone and called but it went to voicemail.
"Don't worry he's probably driving back." Gibbs reasoned.
Tony laid back and closed his eyes as a wave of nausea engulfed him.
Gabby walked in with a syringe and Tony backed up a bit, "What's that?" He asked warily
She smiled at him, "It's just a sedative so you can sleep for a few hours. It's not too strong," She told him and he relaxed as she injected the sedative into the I.V he had in his hand.
"Why a sedative?" Gibbs asked confused.
"Patients going through withdrawal usually have trouble sleeping, it was prescribed," Gabby told him and showed him the chart.
Gibbs nodded as Tony relaxed back, as he drifted off; Gibbs called Ziva, "I can't reach McGee. I need you to try also check Georgetown and see if he picked up Tonia from school." He shut the phone and watched Tony as the knot in his gut started to get tighter.
McGee groaned as he opened his eyes. For a moment he had no idea where he was then he realized he was at Tony's home. He tried to figure out how he had gotten there. He hadn't been out drinking with Tony…..then he remembered he was picking up Tonia and as he had gotten out of his car he had seen her being bundled into a van. He'd run over to help only to be hit from behind with something very solid.
"Tim?" Tonia called to him as she felt him move.
"Tonia, are you Okay?" He asked as he realized they were tied back to back sitting on chairs.
"I'm fine." She said.
"Not for long." Came a voice and McGee felt her shiver.
"Who is it," He whispered to her
"Senior." She breathed and he could feel the fear in her voice.
Senior went up to McGee and placed his phone in his lap.
"You'll need that for Junior to find you, and no, Miss Scuito will not be able to locate you by GPS, I had a 'friend' encrypt it for me so he will be the only one to find you."
"He's in hospital he won't be able to come." Tim said and winced as he heard Tonia's sharp intake of breath.
"I know and he will I have people on it." Senior sneered. "I have a job for you Agent McGee; I have been told you are as smart on a computer as my boy. I need you to get into his computer and transfer his money to this account." He showed McGee a piece of paper which had a number on it.
"Don't think about trying anything or I will have Tonia shot." Senior said and nodded to a lackey with a gun who stood nearby.
Tim nodded and allowed Senior to untie him; Tonia looked scared as Tim caught sight of her face as he was led from the room.
Senior sat him down in front of Tony's computer and told him to get to work.
Tim was impressed, it took him 30 minutes just to crack all of Tony's encryptions and get online. By this time Senior had got bored and wasn't watching too closely, so while Senior could see the screen and Tim worked on Tony's account but sent an email to Abby; 'Help call Gibbs, Tonia and me at Tony's with Senior.'
He sent it quickly and was relieved to find Senior hadn't seen him send it.
Abby grabbed her laptop and headed to the hospital to find Gibbs.
"Gibbs, I need Tony's help!" she said screeching to a halt in front of him
"What's up Abbs?" Tony asked sleepily from the bed.
"Tim's cell phone is encrypted and I can't find him," She told Tony.
"Abbs!" Gibbs growled in warning.
"Can you help me please?" Abby begged Tony and he nodded and raised the bed so he was sitting up.
"Sure." Tony said Gibbs and Abby looked on amazed as within moments Tony had broken the encryption key and was tracking McGee's phone to Tony's house.
"There you go." Tony gave a weak smile. "Hey you got an email from me?" he said confused as the email popped up on screen.
He opened it and pushed the laptop and table away from him and started to get out of bed.
"Tony?" Gibbs said.
"Just need the bathroom," Tony said and ambled off up the hall.
Abby turned the laptop round and recovered the email.
"Gibbs, The email was from Tim, Senior had him and Tonia at Tony's house!" Abby said.
Gibbs got up and went down the hall, he quickly realized Tony had gone and went for his car calling Ziva as he ran.
"Ziva, Senior's at Tony's and has McGee and Tonia hostage, call Fornell tell him to meet me outside Tony's with a team." He hung up and put his foot down.
Both the cab with Tony in and Gibbs turned up at the same time.
Gibbs walked up and looked in the window of the cab.
"He told you he can't pay yet?" Gibbs asked the driver who suddenly looked annoyed. "What does he owe you?"
"$25. I should call the cops." The driver said but Gibbs glared at him and paid the man helping Tony out of the cab and then giving Tony a headslap as the driver left.
Tony glared at him, "What was that for?"
"Leaving without telling me." Gibbs said.
"Boss, Tim and Tonia are in there with Senior." Tony said punching a code in the gate.
"I know Fornell is coming we need some back up." Gibbs said spying Fornells' car coming up the driveway with Ziva close behind.
Tim was dragged back into the room that Tonia was in and thrown onto the floor. Senior kicked him hard.
"Some computer geek you are." Senior spat, "You couldn't cut through the boy's encryptions. I thought you were smart."
"Tony's smarter," Tim mouthed back.
"The boy is a waste of space." Senior said.
"He's not." Tim stood up for his friend, "He's the most honest and honorable man I know." He said proudly.
Senior's face contorted with rage and he let fly with a hail of blows. Tonia was screaming at him to stop but Senior had lost all reason and couldn't hear her.
Just when Tonia thought Tim was going to die the door crashed open and Gibbs and Fornell came in with Tony and Ziva on their heels.
Gibbs shot Senior in the shoulder and he fell back.
As they walked up to Tim Senior caught sight of Tony and raised his gun.
Without a thought Gibbs, Ziva and Fornell shot at Senior and he fell to the ground dead.
Tony didn't spare him a glance as he ran to Tonia and untied her, faltering in his steps as he started to cramp up.
"Are you Okay?" He asked hugging her tightly. She nodded and cried putting her head to his chest.
"Tim?" Tony asked.
A battered and bruised McGee lifted himself up and looked at Tony.
"I'll live," He gave a bloody smile.
"Thanks Tim," Tony said and slowly sank to the floor.
Gibbs looked at them both, "Help's coming." He said quietly proud of them both.
