The small "family" had gathered in the hospital's waiting room. Tony had Mollie in his arms, while Emily sat beside her father, and Gibbs walked around in a circle. Vance was back speaking with a police officer about finding Lana. While Jared slept on a couch on the other side of the room. Leon wanted to stay until he heard something about Lana. So he had called Lara to pick Jared up and then stay over with him and Kayla until, he got home. The family was mostly silent though occasionally somebody would comment on the wait or ask if anyone else should be called. Gibbs wasn't speaking to anyone but every so often he would curse under his breath and kick at one of the empty chairs.

"What if she doesn't make it?" Mollie asked.

"She is going to be fine. We are just getting her checked out to be safe." Tony assured

"What the hell happened?" Mollie asked.

"I don't know but Gibbs, Fornell, I will talk to her soon. That being said if she does not want you and Emily to know the details you have to respect that." Tony explained.

"I know" Mollie assured.

"This is ridiculous how long does it take to check for a concussion?! I am going back there!" Gibbs snapped.

"Jethro it's only been twenty five minutes." Fornell reminded.

"What if it were Emily?!" Gibbs demanded.

"I'm not saying I don't care. I am saying that it has been less than half an hour." Fornell clarified.

"This is still taking too long! I am going back there!" Gibbs snapped, kicking over a chair and storming to the back.

Leon Vance gave his statement to the police and then returned to the waiting room. He walked over to where Jared was waiting. He took a seat on the couch and carefully placed Jared's head on his legs. He hadn't done that since Jared was a little boy, since before they moved to DC. Lara had texted him and told him that she was on the way.

"Oh I am sorry. I didn't know we had any patients waiting." A young doctor apologized.

"I am not waiting. My son just has a stomach virus but I had to give a statement to the police regarding a kidnapped teen I assisted on the way from bringing him home. His nanny is coming to stay with him. So I can wait for news on the girl." Vance explained.

"Are you sure you don't want to get him looked at? He looks really bad." The doctor questioned.

"I guess you can check him out if you want but I want to come back with him." Vance replied.

"I understand." The doctor replied.

"What's going on?" Jared asked.

"We are going to get you looked at real quick." Vance replied.

Gibbs drummed his fingers on the arms of his chair and sighed. When he went to go check on Lana, he had been told to be patient and that Lana was still getting examined. That was nearly an hour ago. It had been close to two hours since Lana had been taken back. What was taking so long? What if something was seriously wrong with Lana? What if she had a severe brain injury or had gone into shock? What if she was dead?

"Family of Lana Johnson?" A doctor called from the doorway.

Tony, Fornell, and Gibbs stood; and walked back with the doctor. Mollie and Emily stood and began to follow them but quickly fell back into their seats. Remembering that it would be up to the adults and Lana what details they heard. Emily pulled out a notebook and began jotting down Colombo fan-fiction. While Mollie took out her phone and responded to a text from Jude. It was about fifteen minutes before Tony and Fornell returned. Tony took a seat beside Mollie and Fornell took the one beside Emily.

"How is she? Where is Gibbs?" Mollie asked.

"Gibbs is back with Lana." Fornell replied.

"Is she OK?" Emily asked.

"Her main problems are a grade two concussion, severe dehydration, and three broken ribs. She also has several cuts that required plastic surgery to close but that was for vanity reasons. She also has irritation from uh being in bloody clothes for so long." Tony explained.

"But she's going to be OK?" Mollie asked.

"She is going to be fine but they are going to keep her for a few days and she may be home before you can see her." Fornell explained.

"Can we call or text her?" Mollie asked.

"I will have Gibbs see what she is up for." Fornell replied.

"But for now we need to get you girls home and into bed." Tony replied.

Leon Vance and Lara were the sole occupants of the surgical waiting room. Leon had gotten Jared checked out because he heard a voice telling him that it was necessary. The doctor had run some tests and it turned out that Jared had acute appendicitis.

"Leon Vance?" Dr. Miller called.

"How is he?" Leon asked.

"Jared came through surgery just fine. He is in recovery but will be moved to a regular room shortly. You will be able to visit him briefly after that." Dr. Miller explained.

It was now very early in the morning and Tony was the only one left awake. Gibbs had called him and said that Lana was awake and communicating well with him. Leon had called and said that Jared had been diagnosed with appendicitis. He had, had surgery but was doing really well. Still Tony was stressed out and worried. He knew that he would not rest until Lana was home and he knew what the fuck had happened to her. He was sitting on the couch watching an old episode of Elvira on one of those super high up movie channels Ziva had said they would never watch.

"Can't sleep?" Ziva asked.

"Not even a little." Tony replied.

"Lana and Jared are just fine and the police are going to talk to Lana in a few hours." Ziva assured.

"I still don't know what the hell happened to Mollie. Why did they make me think she was dead? Why is my dad in prison?" Tony questioned.

A/N: Lana gives her statement in the next chapter. New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
