Tony rode in the ambulance with Andrew. While Gibbs and Breena followed behind and Melody stayed behind to help McGee track down Jeanne. Andrew remained awake through the drive to the hospital. Which the paramedics took as a good sign. Still Tony made sure to keep his son talking. Upon arrival at the hospital, Andrew was rushed back for tests. Leaving Tony to sit and wait. A few minutes later Gibbs arrived with Breena.
"You heard anything yet DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked.
"They said it was good I kept him talking in the ambulance." Tony replied.
"I am sure he is just fine." Breena assured.
"I hope so but I don't know maybe his luck has run out." Tony replied.
"Try to be optimistic." Gibbs replied.
"Tori always was the positive one in our relationship." Tony replied.
Gibbs placed his arm around Tony's shoulders. Breena had stepped out to get some air and call Ed to check on Tori. Tony held his head in his hands. He tried to hide it but Gibbs could tell he was crying. Andrew was probably fine but that was hard to tell a kid who had already lost one child and his wife. After a while Breena returned and took a seat on the other side of Tony. Another half-hour later a doctor entered the room and approached the group.
"I am looking for Andrew DiNozzo's parents." The doctor called.
"I am his father." Tony replied.
"Who are these people?" The doctor asked.
"His aunt and grandfather." Tony replied..
"OK well anyway I am Dr. Miller. Andrew is a very lucky boy. He managed to escape with no broken bones only a lot of bumps and bruises and a mild concussion. I would still like it if he stayed overnight but he should be free to go home with you in the morning." Dr. Miller explained.
"May I see him?" Tony asked.
"Yes but it is after visiting hours so it will have to be brief." Dr. Miller explained.
"Can I go back too?" Gibbs asked.
"Of course but like I said keep it brief." Dr. Miller replied.
"Thank you so much doctor." Gibbs replied.
"Would you like to go back as well?" Dr. Miller asked Breena.
"I can't I was sick today. I am feeling better now but I don't want to spread any germs to the poor little guy." Breena replied.
"Very well. You two may come back with me." Dr. Miller replied signaling for Gibbs and Tony to follow him.
Andrew perked up when he saw Tony and Gibbs walk into the room. Tony took the seat closest to his son. While Gibbs took the chair on the other side of the bed closer to the window. Both men were relieved to see that the small boy was awake. Tony was hoping that his son would talk to him about the Jack Gibbs who had taken him home. His biggest concern was that somebody had used the name Jack Gibbs to get to Andrew. He had escaped Jeanne but for all he knew she had goons everywhere.
"Hi Daddy!" Andrew cried.
"Hi Andy I am glad you are OK." Tony replied.
"Me too when can I go home?" Andrew asked.
"Tomorrow, they want to keep an eye on you tonight." Tony explained
"Can you stay with me?" Andrew asked.
"They don't typically like people to stay with patients overnight but I will be right down the hall if you need me." Tony replied.
"OK" Andrew replied.
"Andrew your dad and I have to leave soon but before we go. I need to ask you a couple of questions real quick. Are you up for that?" Gibbs asked.
"What kind of questions?" Andrew asked.
"Can you describe the old man who brought you back to NCIS?" Gibbs asked.
"He looked a little like you that's why I went with him but he was fatter and his hair was while. He was a little shorter but he was very nice. He had jeans and a plaid shirt on." Andrew explained.
"Where did he go after he dropped you off?" Tony asked.
"I don't know he let me out of the car and turned to go and find you. I turned right back around because I remembered that I had forgotten to thank him but he was already gone." Andrew explained.
"Can you tell me what his car looked like?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah it was a white truck that was really beat up and smelled bad. It was a little like yours Grandpa Gibbs but it had four doors instead of two." Andrew explained.
"Thank you so much Andrew that is all we need to know." Tony replied.
"Is grandpa Gibbs OK?" Andrew asked noticing that the silver-haired man had tears in his eyes.
"Yeah he is just tired." Tony assured.
Ten minutes later Tony and Gibbs were kicked out of Andrew's room. Tony was going to sleep in the waiting room in case his son needed him but Gibbs was going to take Breena home and check on things back at the office.
"How did it go?" Breena asked.
"Pretty good." Tony replied.
"Do you know who brought Andrew back?" Breena asked.
"An angel." Gibbs replied voice cracking.
Much to her chagrin Gibbs and McGee had forced Melody to go home and get some rest. McGee had already left to go home to his family. All that was left was night security and a few other people. The parking garage was dark. So Gibbs being a gentlemen was walking her back to her car. She had just gotten to her car when out of the corner of her eye. She saw a figure lurking in the shadows. Suddenly a bullet whizzed past narrowly avoiding Gibbs. Melody reached for her gun and shot. The figure crumpled to the floor. She and Gibbs rushed over it was Jeanne. She was dead. Tony's hell was finally over.
"Are you OK?" Gibbs asked knowing that Melody hated to kill people.
"I am fine after all she put Tony and Andrew through. I would put ten bullets in her." Melody scoffed.
A/N: Jeanne is finally dead but- is it really over? New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
