A/N: so here's chapter ten. Once again I'm sorry I couldn't make everyone happy and I'm sorry if anyone is out of character. especially Tony D.
Chapter Ten
Where are they? Why haven't they called? They said they'd call," said Greg pacing back and forth.
It had been an hour since Catherine had gotten a call from Horatio Caine that they had found Jensen McDowell's vehicle and were following the lead. "Greg they're following a lead they may have found something they're looking into before calling us," said Catherine.
"She's right Greg. We just have to be patient," said Grissom.
"I've been patient. I don't want to be patient anymore."
"G, calm down bud," said Nick.
"I don't want to calm down," screamed Greg.
Greg took a sudden deep breath and breathed out. "Sorry Nick, I'm just really stressed and worried right now."
"We know Greg and we're here for you buddy," said Warrick.
Catherine's phone rang and everyone fell silent. "Willows."
"Ms. Willows, it's Lt. Caine. We've found them and they're on their way to the hospital now. We have Felix Richardson is in custody, but Robert Swanson and Jensen McDowell. As much as I feel it still isn't safe for Greg to come down. If he feels he needs to be here, we can arrange it so he can be picked up from the airport."
"That sounds reasonable, but Greg's going to want to know how everyone is before he arrives."
"We don't know all exact conditions. Paramedics say that his cousin Anthony is the most critical, he needs emergency surgery."
"Do we know what happened?"
"It appears that he may have been shot in the back. He told his boss he couldn't feel his legs. Greg should also know that there was a fatality, Calleigh was killed, Ryan's in really bad shape."
"Thank you," said Catherine.
Greg watched as Catherine hung up and saw the tears that clung to the corner of her eyes. "Cath, what is it? What's wrong?"
"Greg Horatio says you can go down to Miami now."
"Cath! What's wrong?"
"Calleigh was killed Greg, she's dead. Ryan's going to need you now."
"What about the others?" asked Greg.
"Greg, we don't know much. They were heading to the hospital when Horatio called. All I know is that your cousin Anthony gas to go into emergency surgery."
"What! This isn't fair Catherine! Hasn't my family gone through enough."
"Greg, yes, our family has gone through more then their share of grief, but right now the best you can do is be there for them," said Grissom.
"Yeah, you're right I need to calm down and be strong for my family."
"Come on lets make sure we get the next flight out," said Grissom.
Everyone was waiting around in the waiting room for news, Kenwall had been called by Horatio and he had taken Anya along with Martin and his family. Kenwall sat in a chair cradling his granddaughter. As Martin and Samantha were doing the same with their children. Horatio and Gibbs stood near a wall each on separate sides of the room. Ziva sat in a chair as well, but looked as though she was keeping her emotions at bay. McGee couldn't decided whether to sit or stand and when he was standing he was pacing. McGee who was currently sitting went to stand again.
"McGee sit down. You're making everyone jumpy," said Gibbs. He looked around at the young kids asleep. "McGee, I said sit. If these kids wake up they're going to sense something's up. Kid's can sens fear."
Natalia, Eric, and Vartann came into the waiting room. Vartann had stiches to his forehead from the laceration he recived during his abductuin. "I took pictures of Mich Oliveira's wounds, but they want to keep him overnight since it's a gunshot wound," said Natalia.
"I took pictures of Tony's... Vartann's injuries. He's the only one they're releasing right now," said Eric.
"It's been an hour any word on the others?" asked Gibbs.
"No, no one will say anything, we just know that your Agent DiNozzo is still in surgery," said Eric.
"Damn it!"
"Gibbs, things like these take time. We want them not to rush things," said Ziva.
"I know Ziva," said Gibbs.
Martin stood up and joined the group still holding a sleeping Jessica, Vartann noticed. "Martin what are you doing here?"
"Greg called, told me what was going on. I took the soonest flight out."
"It's good to see you again," said Vartann.
"To bad it's at a time like this," said Martin.
"Agent Gibbs if you're ready, I'm going back to HQ to interagate Richardsin. Eric I want you to go back to the lab, see if we can find where McDowell or Swanson may have gone to."
"McGee go with Delko."
"Natalia stay here to photograph the others when the doctors will let you."
"Ziva stay here."
"Gibbs I think it'd be better if I were to help out there."
"I want to know DiNozzo's condition as soon as you get it, understood."
"Understood, but you do realize what the outcome is going to be already."
"I won't believe anything till I hear official word on what's going on."
"Gibbs! He told you he couldn't feel his legs. What does your gut tell you," said Ziva.
Gibbs stared at Ziva for a minute, before he turned away to join Horatio, Eric, and McGee he said. "That he'll pull through, it's DiNozzo."
Samantha was standing up now still holding Vaughn. She walked over to where Martin, Ziva, Vartann, and Natalia were. "Uncle Tony could you hold Jessica?" asked Martin.
"Sure."
"Come on Sam, let's see if we can get anything out of the nurses."
"Do mind if I hold him?" asked Natalia.
"No, here," said Samantha, handing the sleeping Vaughn to Natalia.
The two Fitzgeralds walked up to the front desk. "Excuse me nurse..Lily, I'm Martin Fitzgerald. I'm cousins with Ryan Wolfe and cousin in-law with Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. I was wondering if you could tell us anything?"
"Sorry, you're going to have to wait."
"We haven't gotten any update. We deserve that much. Me and My wife and two three year old twins got on a nine pm flight from New York to get here."
"I'm sorry Mr. Fitzgerald, but you're going to have to wait just like any other family."
"Yeah, thanks for your help," said Martin sarcastically as he and Sam walked away.
"I think they need to hire new hospital personnel," said Sam half heartedly, attempting to lighten the atmosphere, but then feeling awkward about it.
"Thanks for clearing this with Jack, Sam."
"It wasn't a problem for him Martin."
They rejoined the group taking their kids and sat back down. Anya stirred in Kenwall's arms. She opened her eyes slowly. "Grandpa? Where am I? Who are they?" she asked refering to Martin, Sam, Ziva, and the two kids.
"We're at the hospital. That's your daddy's cousin and his family, and that over there is a special investigator."
"Why are we at a hospital? Did they find mommy and daddy?"
"Yes they found them Pumpkin."
"Where are they? I wanna see them. I miss them so much."
"Daddy's being looked at right now."
"What about mommy?"
"Mommy... mommy is back at the lab."
"So mommy's okay? When can I see them?" asked Anya.
"Anya... mom-" hesitated Kenwall. He knew Ryan should be the one who explained
"DADDY!" yelled Anya, jumping off Kenwall's lap.
Anya ran up to her father. Ryan squatted down and embraced his daughter in his arms. "I missed you daddy."
"I missed you to Sweetheart. I missed you too," said Ryan, tears clung to the corners of his eyes.
"Can we go see mommy now? Grandpa said she was at the lab."
Kenwall and Ryan exchanged looks and then Ryan turned to his daughter again. "Sweetheart, we can't visit mommy right now. She's somewhere else, a better place," said Ryan choking on his own words.
"What do you mean daddy? I want to see mommy!"
"Anya Sweetheart, mommy went faraway..to live with the angels now."
"No daddy, no. Mommy's at the lab, she's waiting for us."
"Anya, I'm sorry," said Ryan.
"I want mommy," cried Anya.
"I know Anya I know. I do too," replied Ryan as tears slipped down his face as he held his daughter close to him.
Horatio stood across the table leaning on it shoving all his wait through his hands and onto the table. Richardson sat smiling smugly on the other side leaning back in his chair. "I have had enough of your crap buddy. I have a dead CSI, another one in the hospital, and an Agent undergoing surgery because there's a bullet hole in his back, so your going to give your friends up or all the charges will be piled on you," said Horatio his voice laced with venom.
"Agent, uh. Robert said Anthony was part of law enforcement, he just never said what area it was, so what agency?" asked Richardson.
"That... is not your concern."
"Look I didn't shoot Agent DiNozzo. Robert did. He's got some serious grudge out for his sister, wanted to kill her son for payback I guess, even though she's already dead. Which didn't make much sense to me. I didn't shoot the girl either. Robert once again. She got on his nerves big time."
"That woman's name was Calleigh Wolfe. She was a mother and a wife and now because of what you helped Robert Swanson do, that little girl is motherless and has a father who just might be beyond emotional repair."
"Where is Robert Swanson and Jensen McDowell?" yelled Agent Gibbs storming in the room letting the door swing shut behind him and shoved the table away that Richardson was sitting behind. Gibbs leaned foreword real close putting his face in Richardson's staring him straight in the eyes.
"Agent Gibbs let me take care of this. This isn't your case. You are merely here to assist," said Horatio then he lightened up. "Remember."
Gibbs didn't say anything but stared at Richardson till he broke "I don't know," said Richardson and Gibbs stood up and moved to stand next to Horatio. "Honest. They said they were going to get Robert medical attention, but they didn't tell me anything. Last time they got angry because of the riddle I left you guys," he said referring to Gibbs.
"Why did Swanson need medical attention?" asked Horatio.
"Chicago caught him off guard for a minute, tackled him. Although Chicago probably didn't stand a chance if it went on longer Robert would have won, even with out our help. So what set you off Agent... Gibbs isn't it... fine don't answer me. It's clear you're the boss. Agent DiNozzo wasn't bluffing though, you did take this pretty personally. Get bad news, Agent DiNozzo DIE on the operating table."
"No he didn't. I was just informed that my SENIOR Agent TONY DINOZZO will never be able to walk again. That because of his sick ASS UNCLE and his two DICK head CRONIES my Agent is out of job because he won't be able to processes a crime SCENE!" yelled Gibbs.
"Shame. I hear DiNozzo is normally quit the hipper type. I bet he'll go crazy sitting in a chair all the time, with nothing to do" said Richardson grinning.
Gibbs pushed his face up in Richardson's again. "I hope ROT in HELL!" said Gibbs and stormed back out of interrogation room.
An hour later after the interrogation and not much longer after DiNozzo's surgery, Gibbs entered DiNozzo's hospital room to see Tony awake, flipping through channels on the television in his room, but he turned it off. "Hey, Boss."
"Hey Tony," said Gibbs there was a moment of silence. "Look Tony-"
"I'm out of a job aren't I Boss."
"Yeah Tony, you're out of a job. The Director has agreed to make it a earlier retirement due to injury, but that can't work, not even desk."
Tony scuffed. "Yeah. You know I spent more years at NCIS then any other prescient."
"Yeah, I think you were finally settling down DiNozzo."
"Very funny Boss."
"Tony when you get back from the funeral for Calleigh sense your apartment doesn't have an elevator. You can stay at my-"
"Bo- Gibbs. I want start new, fresh I guess. I'm only coming back to get my stuff. I'm going to move down here to Miami. While it may not sound like me, just listen. My father and I were never really close. He was adamant that I stay away from my moms side of the family. Now I know it's because of my crazy uncle, but his kids aren't like that, they're not him, well at least Ryan's not. I haven't met Greg yet. I want to get to know my cousins especially Ryan. Right now he kind needs someone and while I may not know exactly what he's going through. I do a little."
"Kate?" asked Gibbs.
"Yeah Kate and Jeanne."
"You really loved Jeanne didn't you?"
"Yeah, now I have know idea what happened to her. I wish I did, but hey, maybe I'll start wheelchair basketball. I do have major in Phys. Ed.."
Gibbs smiled and laughed lightly. "You do that DiNozzo. The team will miss you."
"I'll miss them too," said DiNozzo. With that they exchanged smiles one last time before Gibbs left the room.
A/N: Now I know a lot of people don't like Jeanne, but for 1) some things i try to keep as close to the program as possible. 2) i rather see DiNozzo with Jeanne then Ziva (kate over anyone). Anyways there is still more wrap up to come, cuz i'm not going to let them not be able to catch the other two. Thanks StoryDreamer
