Chapter 14

As they got off the plane they were met by more FBI agents and a wall of hugs that was Abby, with Ducky and Palmer waiting to greet them.

"Hey Abbs," Tony said protectively standing in front of Tonia as Gibbs pushed her in her wheelchair.

"Where is she do I get to meet her?" Abby asked excitedly.

"Gently Abby," Tony said and had a hand on her arm as he moved out of her way.

Tonia looked up, she knew who Abby was by her fathers' description of her and had already been warned she was a hugger, and she took a quick gulp and smiled, "Hey Abby!" She grinned as Abby face lit up.

"OH MY GOD, SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU!" Abby squealed.

"Gently Abbs," Tony said again as she leaned in for a hug, Tonia stiffened a little and looked to her father who nodded and she relaxed. "Is it all ready?" He asked her.

"Yep, here's the address and keys," She said handing them over, Tony smiled and raised an eyebrow, "You didn't decorate did you?" He asked warily.

"Nope followed instructions to the letter and left it to the decorators."She grinned, "Oh and here's the HR paperwork."

Gibbs looked at her skeptically.

"I've moved boss." Tony explained knowing exactly what he was thinking. "Abby arranged it all plus the adaptations needed for Tonia and her rehab.

They got in the car and drove to the suburbs where they pulled up to the gates of a huge house. Tony leant out of the window and keyed in a code. Then they drove up the drive to the house.


"Wow," Gibbs said actually impressed.

Tony grinned at him, "I got the FBI to release my inheritance from my mother. That way they save money and I get somewhere big enough for me and Tonia."

"It's a pretty sweet deal," Fornell said sitting in the back with Tonia. "All we have to do is pay the agents guarding them; the house has a great security system."

"Hang on Honey," Tony said as they pulled up and he got her wheelchair out of the car.

He got her set up and playfully stroked her hair as she made a face at having to sit in the thing. "Ramps?" She said as he wheeled her into the house.

"Sure the house has elevators too so you don't have to use the stairs." Tony told her.

Tonia turned to Abby excitedly. "Wanna show me my room?" She asked and Abby bounced with delight, "Can I?" she asked Tony and he nodded.

As they left Gibbs looked worried.

"You gonna be able to afford all this?" He asked

"Not a problem, Boss." He grinned, "None of this is from my fathers money, the FBI can have that, Mom kept some hidden accounts the FBI found that were for me, Lets just say I don't have to work again." Tony said.

Gibbs looked worried, "You quitting?" He asked.

"NO... I just said I don't have to work again, not that I don't want to...I love my job Boss, why do you think I didn't want Vance to fire me." Tony said and was pleased as Gibbs relaxed. "I am hoping you guys will wanna spend a lot of time here, no that I don't have to hide anything." He grinned as he showed him the blueprints for the house.

"Look it's even got a basement, WITH DOORS!" he chuckled to himself hoping his boss would catch on. "Not like I'll need more of a reason for you to spend time with your granddaughter." He ducked thinking Gibbs might headslap him for being presumptuous.

"I'd like that." Gibbs said quietly.


"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" Came a huge shout from upstairs which had Tony draw his gun and take the stairs two at a time with Gibbs hot on his heels.

"What's...what's wrong?" he yelled out of breath and looking around.

"My room is awesome is it all really for me?" She grinned

Tony looked furious, "ANTONIETTA SOPHIA DINOZZO! YOU EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" He yelled.

"S...Sorry dad, I was just excited." She said. Tony rolled his eyes and gathered her into his arms and sat on the bed.

"I know princess, but considering we are under protection right now I think random screaming should be left for emergencies only don't you?" he said placating his daughter.

"Dad, you called me DiNozzo?" Tonia said confused.

He grinned, "You like?" he asked her.

"Yeah," She smiled back. "Although maybe next time you shouldn't scream it at me." She quipped.

Tony waved away the FBI Agents that had just come running up the stairs, Tony placed Tonia on the bed, "Get some rest honey, I'm going downstairs with Grandpa Gibbs." He smirked as Abby raised an eyebrow and Gibbs grinned.

Tony looked back at both girls as he stood in the doorway, "Behave." He warned, and then went downstairs.


Tony took Fornell and Gibbs into the study, "Ok so here's what's going to happen." Fornell said as they got settled.

"You will have guards on the house 24hours. Plus 2 on you and your daughter respectively."

"Not in my bullpen!" Gibbs growled.

"Just outside the Bullpen, Jethro." Fornell conceded. "Senior's trial should start in about 2 months, which gives your daughter time to recuperate."

"Yeah, She should be out of that chair by then," Tony agreed.

"The USB drives you supplied will be really helpful in putting Senior away and both your testimonies will be invaluable. Although you will have to cope with the defense attorneys trying to cut you both down."

"No problem, as long as he's put away for good." Tony said.

Fornell got up and shook his hand "Thanks for this Tony."

Tony smiled, "Hey it's my job." He smirked.

Fornell shook his head in wonder, "I you ever want to jump ship and come work for us..." He started and stopped at the glower on Gibbs face.

"So, Back to work Monday?" Gibbs said.

"Yes Boss." Tony grinned. "I actually can't wait to be back."

"Anthony!" Ducky said interrupting them, "I've just left your delightful daughters room, she's all settled and I've talked to her physical Therapist and she will be starting tomorrow. This house is excellent for her recovery, the pool and gym will be invaluable."

"Thanks Ducky, That's why I chose it," Tony admitted.

"Tony, I gave her the new mobile like you asked." Palmer said as he stood by the door waiting for Ducky.

"Good maybe she'll text me instead of screaming at me now" He smiled at his friend, "You wanna still do movie night with Breena next week?"

"Sure, I'll let you know what nights she's free." Jimmy said and headed out of the door.

Tony turned to Gibbs, "I suppose now I don't have to hide anything my movie nights will get bigger" he said and rolled his eyes.

"Ya think, DiNozzo." Gibbs said.

Tony smiled; it was going to be good, just being himself for a while.


Senior sat in his jail cell fuming; again everything had gone wrong because of that boy.

His lawyer had just left and told him he was to stay here until he went to trial. He had been placed in solitary confinement and it would be at least two months before he even saw the outside world. To top it off he had been told the prosecutions case against him was damming.

He took a deep breath and sat on his bunk with his yellow legal pad and started plotting his revenge.

As his new lawyer left the building he was met by a colleague; "Hey Jack, I heard you needed a lift?"

"Thanks Tom," Jack Michaels said and practically collapsed in the seat next to his friend.

"New Client?" Tom asked, "Or annoying one.

"I've got the Colomba case." Jack admitted.

"No way, mate you're doomed," Tom said stunned.

"You know, this is one case I wouldn't mind losing, but I have to do my best to win...crap! I hate my job."

"You need a second on this?" Tom asked.

"Thomas Jackson, are you actually offering to help on a case where we may lose!" Jack asked.

Tom nodded at his friend, "Sure, either way this guys so dirty it'll make our careers' even when we lose."

They drove off laughing.
