While it didn't even compare to the legendary gut of Leroy Jethro Gibbs. The foresight of Leon Vance had saved the day on numerous occasions during his time with NCIS. He would regularly get gut feelings but rarely were they as strong as they were today. He felt a similar feeling of dread the night Jackie was killed and the morning when Jared was four and he was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia and a febrile seizure. With everything that was happening to Jimmy and Tony. It was near impossible to the director to keep his mask up. Years ago when he first became director neither men were his favorite people. Jimmy seemed weak and awkward, not the type of person who would fit in at all at the NCIS he imagined. He had actually terminated Jimmy's employment but when Ducky found out. The Medical Examiner walked his resignation papers up to the director's office and nearly thrust them across the desk. Not wanting to lose the best Medical Examiner, NCIS had ever had. He reluctantly reinstated Jimmy back to his original position. Tony was well Tony. Not only was he nearly as bad as Gibbs when it came to moving into the NCIS of the twenty-first century but he also seemed to delight in tormenting the agents who were more willing to move forward. Overtime though he had come to greatly respect both men. He warmed to Jimmy much faster than Tony but even that took sometime. He now knew that Jimmy was a hell of a lot stronger than he let on. As for Tony it took Jackie's death for them to become really close. The idea of losing either man was a cause for dread. Not saying that he would have been OK had either man died before he started liking it but the idea of losing a friend was a difficult thing to face. He heard a knock on his door and quickly pushed his mask back up to the best of his ability.

"Director? May I come in?" McGee called.

"Agent McGee? What are you doing here?" Vance asked.

"I came to have our conference." McGee replied.

"I told you that could wait until you were feeling better." Vance replied.

"I am feeling better. I was fine yesterday just shocked." McGee explained.

"Well I am glad you are doing well and if you are sure you feel up to it. I am more than happy to pencil you in." Vance replied.

"I don't mind rescheduling that conference but there is something you need to know." McGee replied.

"Go on" Vance replied.

"Diane the IA agent investigating me. She is out to get Tony. She wanted to tamper with evidence and make Tony look like a criminal." McGee explained.

"Do you have any proof?" Vance asked.

"Yeah my web-cam was on one day when she came over to my apartment. It is poor quality but it is evidence." McGee replied sliding a CD across the director's desk.

The thing that angered Gibbs most about the Floyd thing was that the time he spent dragging his ass in was more time he had to be away from Tony. All he wanted to do was hold his boy in his arms and beg him back to life but instead he was arresting a bastard. By now he knew the story of why Floyd hated Jimmy so much and it made him sick. To want an innocent husband and soon to be father dead. Because of something that was nobody's fault but Floyd's. By the time he arrived to NCIS Floyd had come to and was not happy to discover that he was being arrested. Gibbs didn't care he grabbed Floyd and drug his ass inside HQ.

"This is unjust! This was an illegal arrest! I was detained while unconscious! Gibbs didn't even get me medical care! He just arrested me!" Floyd yelled.

"Shut-Up!" Gibbs warned.

"This is illegal!" Floyd yelled.\

"What is going on down here?!" Vance demanded.

"Gibbs arrested me while I was unconscious. I ran into a door and woke-up in his car. He just cuffed me and dragged me here. He didn't get me help. He didn't even read me my rights." Floyd explained.

"Is this true, Jethro?" Vance asked.

"He tried to assassinate Jimmy!" Gibbs snapped.

"I know that Jethro but this was an illegal arrest. Which unfortunately means that we have to let him go." Vance explained.

"But he tried to shoot Jimmy! While he was visiting Tony!" Gibbs snapped.

"Yes but if we don't let him go he will end up not getting convicted and Jimmy will have no protection. I am sorry." Vance explained.

Tony felt his body go into another seizure. He hated this feeling. He hated that he was so sick. He heard the doctors talking that morning and there was a chance he was going to have brain-damage. They wouldn't know if there was damage and if there was how severe it would be until he woke up but if it was bad enough. He would just be a burden on Gibbs. His Boss had been a valiant hero his entire adult life and deserved a peaceful retirement on his boat and on beaches with beautiful red-heads fanning him and pouring him bourbon not caring for his crippled son. Maybe he should just die. He didn't care what Gibbs and Shannon said. Gibbs would be better off without him.

"No! We're losing him!"

"He's coding!"

"Get a crash-cart in here! Stat!"

A hand reached down and helped Tony stand up. He looked around and saw that same white, cloudy scene he had seen when he died the night he was first hospitalized. He had gotten what he wanted. He was dead. He looked up and saw who had helped him stand. It was his beloved grandfather Jackson Gibbs.

A/N: Is Jackson there to take Tony to heaven or is he there to demand that he go back to Earth and stay with Gibbs? New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
