AN- Sorry this is a short chapter but I promise the next one will be longer.
NCIS NCIS NCIS
Skilfully navigating the streets surrounding the NCIS headquarters, Garcia turned into the parking lot beside the US Marine Corps Reserves Training building before parking at the far end of the parking lot. He smiled as he killed the engine, seemingly unconcerned by the sounds of sirens that filled the air.
"Garcia, what are you doing? We have to get out of here before they lock the place down!" Markus asked, terrified.
His boss laughed as he opened the car door, "Oh, I am sure the place is locked down already and they are already searching for the car."
"What are we going to do?" the older man asked as he followed the hitman out of the car and looked around nervously. "We can't stay here, they'll find us."
The hitman grinned as he slammed the driver's door closed and pulled off the gloves he was wearing before he looked across at the worried man standing on the other side of the car. "We are going to wait for the rat to step into our trap." He told him before turning to the car parked beside them. Pulling a key out of his pocket he unlocked the car's door and opened it before looking back over his shoulder, "Well are you coming, or are you just going to stand there all day?"
NCIS NCIS NCIS
Pacing the small waiting room, impatiently waiting for news about his senior agent, Gibbs was unable to shake the vivid memories of what had happened only an hour before. He barely had time to shout a desperate warning to Tony to watch out as he watched in horror as the car sped in Tony's direction, giving the NCIS agent little time to dive out of its deadly path. Even now, Gibbs knew that it was going to be a long time before he would be able to forget the horrible thump as the car slammed into Tony, throwing the younger agent violently into the air as it struck him, nor would he forget the sight of Tony's body as Tony slammed hard onto the pavement and rolled like a rag doll across the road before stopping face down in the gutter. Gibbs shivered unconsciously as he remembered his fingers trembling as he pressed them into the side of DiNozzo's neck as he desperately searched for a pulse….
He stopped his pacing and turned expectantly towards the door as the door opened and Ducky entered the room, holding a Styrofoam cup in his hand. "How is he, Duck?" he demanded as Ducky slowly crossed the room to where he was waiting.
"He has a broken leg, two broken ribs and a moderate concussion, Jethro, but considering just how fast the car was going when it hit him, Tony is extremely lucky that his injuries are not more severe. The doctors are just setting his leg before they transfer him to a room" The Medical Examiner told the anxious man as he handed Gibbs the steaming cup of coffee before he added softly, "You know what happened to Tony today was not your fault, Jethro."
"Ya think, Ducky?" Gibbs growled as he glared at his friend, "I knew that something was going on with DiNozzo and his father …"
"And you tried to find out what it was." Ducky reminded him firmly.
"But I didn't, I let it drop when I realized he didn't trust me enough to tell me what the Hell is going on." Slamming the cup down on the table, ignoring the hot liquid as it splashed over his hand, Gibbs sighed, "And today, Duck, those secrets DiNozzo is trying to hide from me almost got him killed."
"Jethro, are you sure what happened to Tony today was connected to his father?"
"We know Tony's father is in town and he has somehow gotten himself involved with Casini and we also know whatever he has managed to get himself involved in with Casini it has placed him on the watch list of the FBI and probably the AFT and God knows what other federal departments. I'm placing a guard outside DiNozzo's room for the night, and I will be back to pick him up when he is discharged in the morning." Gibbs growled angrily before he turned and headed towards the door.
"Jethro, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Anthony DiNozzo Senior and find out just what he is up to and how he has managed to involve Tony." Gibbs answered over his shoulder as he walked out of the room. He didn't know why Tony suddenly did not trust him enough to tell him what was going on or just what secrets Tony was hiding about his father but he was damn sure going to find out what those secrets were, whether Tony wanted him to or not, before those secrets got Tony killed!
