Tobias joined them as they reached the elevators. They decided to go back in the room to While leaving they debated on where to go from there. Even though Tobias was in charge he wanted to know where they thought they would be comfortable and best able to defend themselves the easiest.

"we located the store back in DC and saw a tape of our muscle men as a bag boy. He drugged your juice. It's safe if you want to go back to your old place or DC. The question is where would you prefer?" he asked leaning on the window."

"Like I said before familiar ground is our best bet. They may have studied a map of DC and we'd have less lick even living there as long as we have and protection. But even if they had a detailed map of Stillwater I still know all the nooks and cranny's no towns person would share with any outsider." Everyone nodded.

"It's settled then."

They left the hospital each wanting an actual bed and a place with a home feel to it. They could practically feel Jackson's protection when walking through the house. They stopped at a store to get new perishables. Tony and McGee leaned against the back doors keeping an eye on the car while the others went inside. At least three people watched the cart with Gibbs while the others would run to get something. They weren't taking any chances. Almost every ten minutes someone asked him Gibbs was alright after being gone so long. This went on for almost two hours. After reassuring everyone that he was fine they left.

"Let's go before someone else questions my health. Although it was useful they promised to tell me if they see any strangers." Gibbs announced.

They came back and Gibbs was very tired. They convinced him to lie down as they watched t.v. and put groceries away. He very grudgingly agreed to take a nap. The palmers were cooking dinner while Ducky sat in a recliner, reading. Tony, McGee, Abby and Bishop were currently walking into his room but stopped in the doorway.

"I'll never repeat this but he looks adorable with his hair everywhere." Abby whispered.

"Yeah very much like a kid" McGee whispered back.

They watched him for a minute before walking towards him. He was currently curled up under a blanket. The blanket was pulled up just under his armpit. His right arm bent with a hand by his head, fingers slightly curled. His left hand faced up and towards him, laying on his right elbow and his face snuggled into the pillow. Abby walked forward, sat by his stomach with a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, it's time to wake up, dinners done." he sat up and nodded as he stretched.

They walked out to the living room and sat down. McGee and Abby sat in the recliner on the opposite of the couch than were Ducky was. Ellie and Tony on the couch as well, to his right.

"What's for diner?"

"Homemade chicken noodle soup and grilled ham and cheese." Brenna answered as Jimmy helped her carry their food.

They all ate their dinner heartily and watched family guy. They all had at least three bowls and two sandwiches. Tony, McGee, Gibbs, and Ellie all ate one more sandwich and bowl of soup each. They watched a two movies then everyone went to bed. They slept well because Tobias and another one of his agents stayed in the living room fully alert and on watch. Another two agents stayed by the back door.
