Gibbs House: NCIS NCIS NCIS NCIS

Olivia stared at her son. He had a mixture of anger, pain and sadness in his face.

"I know. And if I could, I would go back and change everything but I can't" she said, her voice sounding sad and regretful.

Tony didn't say anything and looked back down at his coffee.

"Anthony" Olivia whispered "I know you hate me for what I have done, and I'm not blaming you. But please, let me say something" she asked.

Tony continued to look at his coffee. He wanted to let her talk, but at the same time he wanted her gone, out the house and somewhere else. He needed space, space to think about everything. He gave a quick glance at his mother and then back to his coffee.

"I remember when you were 4 years old" Olivia started "You were leaning to play the piano. You were pretty good for your age" Olivia smiled at the memory then continued "Do you remember what I told you one day?" she asked.

"No" Tony replied, short and simple answer.

"I told you that I would never leave you. No matter what happens, I would never leave. I kept that promise. Although I wasn't there physically, I was still with you, watching over you" she said.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Tony blurted out, like his mother hadn't said anything. "When I became a cop, why didn't you tell me about you, about Alex?".

"Because I was scared" Olivia admitted.

"Of what?" Tony said, looking up from his coffee.

"Of what Alex would do. I didn't know where he was. I didn't know if he was dead, or still watching you" she answered.

"And I can take care of myself. I don't need protection or somebody watching over me 24/7. Especially someone who let a killer get away" Tony argued back, his hand gripping his mug tighter.

"I know you can take care of yourself, but I still worry about you. Every day since I left, I have worried about you. When you went to the Military academy's, new schools, and especially when you became a cop" Olivia paused to take a breath then continued "The first time you got shot, I was beyond scared, terrified even. Then you got kidnapped and injured, then the Plague".

Suddenly Tony lost it and threw his coffee at the wall behind Olivia, making her jump, dropping her coffee, and give out a slight cry of shock "YOU DIDN'T CARE!" he shouted "If you cared about me at ALL, you wouldn't have LEFT and LIED to me and dad. You would have tried harder to find Alex, but no, you didn't. You gave up and left like a coward would!" he snarled in anger.

As soon as the Tony threw his glass at the wall, Gibbs came rushing down the stairs and into the kitchen. He could hear the shouting as he made his way down the stairs and when he entered the kitchen, his saw the shattered glass on the floor, a shocked and shaken Olivia and a very angry Tony.

"Okay, I think we need to take a break" Gibbs said.

Olivia nodded, still slightly shaken from the events. Tony on the other hand sighed and walked out the kitchen and towards the front door.

"Hey!" Gibbs called and Tony continued out the door, completely ignoring him. "Dammit" Gibbs muttered under his breath and quickly followed him out. "Stay" he told Olivia, seeing her start to follow, and with that he was gone.

"Hey! DiNozzo!" Gibbs shouted as he followed Tony down the street "Stop!".

But Tony didn't, he just kept walking 'Why won't everyone leave me alone' he thought.

Gibbs jogged up to him and grabbed his elbow, making him stop and turn towards him. Tony tried to yank his arm free, but Gibbs had a pretty good grip on him "Let go of me" Tony said, anger still fresh in his tone.

"No, just stop, DiNozzo" Gibbs replied, not letting Tony get away.

"Why?!" Tony asked, still trying to get free.

"Because I said so" Gibbs answered.

Tony finally got his elbow free but, surprisingly, didn't move away from Gibbs.

"Do you want to tell me what happened back there?" Gibbs asked, already knowing how it ended.

Tony gave out a small sarcastic laugh and rubbed his hand over his face "She thinks she was protecting me, by not saying anything about Alex or her being alive. She was scared of what would happen to me if I knew. She said she made a promise saying she would always be there for me and that she was always looking out for me, but she never was!" Tony exploded.

At first Gibbs didn't say anything. He honestly didn't know what to say, because he had only ever come across something like this once. He was about to say something when suddenly a gunshot went off and into a blue car's window next to them.

Both Tony and Gibbs ducked and grabbed their guns. A second gunshot went off and hit the back of the car, getting closer to them. Tony and Gibbs moved to take cover behind a black car, which was one car away from the one that had now two bullets in, for safety. But on the way a third gunshot rang out and the bullet got Tony in the right arm, making him hiss in pain and drop his gun. He was going to go back for it but Gibbs grabbed his jacket and pulled him down.

Tony slumped against the black car and Gibbs crouched beside him. "How bad?" Gibbs asked, looking at the wound.

Tony winced "I think the bullets in my arm" he said, pocking it slightly to see if his theory was correct. He hissed in pain again "Yeah, it is".

Gibbs sighed. He was about to look over the bonnet of the car, but three more shots went off, hitting the bonnet of the blue car that already had bullets lodged inside. "Oh crap" Gibbs muttered and grabbed Tony's good arm, pulling him up and away from the black car and down the street.

When suddenly the blue car behind them exploded and they both fell to the ground.

TBC…
