Secrets Have Consequences

Chapter 21

A/N: Thank you for all the lovely reviews. They put a smile on my face. Sorry for the long update, writer's block again. Plus it was my birthday two weeks ago and I wasn't allowed on my laptop, and I have been busy doing tones of homework.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes, I don't own a beta. Thanks – Haylee! Enjoy!

Previously:

When he finally got to the garage, he pushed the door open and searched for his father, going to where he told his father to wait, where his car was parked.

When he got to his car, he couldn't see his father anywhere. He started to turn in a circle, to see if his father was standing by a different car, but he could see him anywhere "DAD!" he shouted, but got nothing.

Turned around to his car to see if Senior got in somehow, but when he did his heart stopped. 'No' he thought.

On the floor by the passenger side of the car, was a puddle of blood.

NCIS Parking Garage: NCIS NCIS NCIS NCIS

Tony stood next to his car, staring at the puddle of blood that was in front of him. The puddle was small, but for Tony it looked like a lot. "Oh god" he whispered, swallowing the bile rising in his throat. He heard the door to the fire exit swing open, but didn't turn to see who it was. It was fairly obvious.

"Tony!" Gibbs called out as he and Ziva walked through the parking garage, guns drawn. When Tony didn't reply, Gibbs started to worry "Tony!" he called again.

Ziva was walking in between cars, looking for Tony. Then out the corner of her eye, she saw a figure standing next to one of the cars. It was Tony. " Gibbs I found him".

Gibbs turned and followed her to where Tony was standing.

"Tony?" Gibbs asked, and Tony didn't move.

Gibbs and Ziva came to stand next to Tony, and that's when they saw it. The blood. They froze. Gibbs glanced at Tony and saw the fear, anger and worry cross over his face. Ziva also saw this and placed her hand on his arm for comfort.

After 5 minutes of silence, Gibbs decided they should do something and not stare at a puddle of blood. "Ziva, take a sample to Abby and get her to analyse it" he said.

Ziva nodded then glanced at Tony. He hadn't moved an inch. "We will find him" she whispered. Tony have a slight nod, but Ziva barley saw it. She then got on with collecting the blood.

As soon as Iva moved to get a sample of the blood, Gibbs placed a hand on Tony's shoulder and gently guided him a few matures away, his eyes never leaving the puddle of blood.

"Hey" Gibbs said and Tony turned his head, and his eyes slowly followed after. "What did Alex say to you on the phone?".

Tony shrugged, regret showing on his face and in his eyes "He called to say that I should keep and eye on my friends, especially my father" Tony said, trying to not sound helpless.

Gibbs gave him a sympathetic look "I might not be your father's blood, Tony" Gibbs said, putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

Tony rolled his eyes and have a sarcastic snort 'Yeah right' he thought.

"Even if it is, it's a small amount" Gibbs said. He knew they weren't the words Tony wanted to hear, but he didn't want to give him false hope.

Tony gave a small nod and turned back to where Ziva was collecting a sample of the blood. His father's blood. 'Who else's is it going to be? And where would my father go at NICS, other than Abby's lab?' he thought.

"This is now a crime scene. Get McGee and tell him to pull security footage and see if he can see what happened" Gibbs said, getting Tony's head back in the game.

Tony nodded and went back to the fire exit, giving one last look at the blood on his way.

Gibbs walked over to Ziva "You got it?" he asked and she nodded.

"Yes" she paused "You don't think that it's Senior's, do you?" she asked.

Gibbs didn't reply and Ziva pressed her lips together "That's what I thought" she whispered.

"Take the blood up to Abby and give me everything you have on Alex" Gibbs said as they walked towards the fire exit. "And tell Dornedget to seal D3 off in the garage" he added.

Ziva nodded and did as she was told.
