Gibbs felt a shiver run down his spine. He should have expected something to happen because he had left Tony alone but he was praying that he was wrong. What could possibly be happening now? Floyd and Manny were dead and Senior and Diane were in prison. The ordeal had to be over by now it just had to. Tony and Breena were finally starting to heal.
"What's going on?" Gibbs asked nervously.
"Several NCIS employees alerted me to this video today. It has also been found on YouTube and has been shared to Facebook and Twitter and Dr. Mallard alerted me that Diane used her one phone call to threaten Breena and baby Jimmy. I have already contacted the hospital and they posted security guards outside of her room and have people go with the nurses anytime they have the baby." Vance explained handing Gibbs his phone.
Gibbs studied the video that was buffering on Leon's iPhone. It depicted Anthony DiNozzo Senior in his hospital bed staring straight into the camera. His uninjured leg was on top of the sheet. His knee was bandaged and Senior was clearly under the influence of pain killers but that didn't make what was about to come out of his mouth any less terrifying.
"My name is Anthony Dimitri DiNozzo Senior, I am sixty-five years old, and this was done to me when a so called cop attacked me on the street. All I was doing was walking down the street with my son Manny. When a "Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs of NCIS" jumped out of his car and brutally attacked me on the street. He claimed that I had attacked his son. I am sorry that your boy is in the hospital Agent Gibbs but I would never harm another man's son. I wish I could say the same for Agent Gibbs however because the next day that bastard shot my son, Manny. He died instantly and Gibbs just left his body on the floor of the parking garage." Senior said into the camera.
When the video was over Gibbs handed the phone back to Leon and repeatedly banged his head on to the counter. Why was this still happening? This video was a very bad thing. If enough people believed it. It could discredit his whole career but he could give a crap about that. This video could result in him going to prison and Senior being let go. If he was locked up then who would protect Tony from the psycho. If Senior was on the loose Tony would probably need near constant protection until that bastard finally died. Gibbs could do that but if he were in jail, Tony would probably end up in Witness Protection for the rest of his life.
"What do we do?" Gibbs asked.
"We fight" Vance hissed.
"How? He already called me out on brutality." Gibbs questioned.
"I don't know Jethro but until we figure out what to do. I am sending Breena, Baby Jimmy, and just to be safe Dr. Mallard to a safe house." Vance explained.
"What about Tony and me?" Gibbs asked.
"I have already arranged with the rehab hospital to send a physical therapist and a nurse to Stillwater. I want you guys to stay there until I figure out what to do." Vance explained.
"Will we have protection?" Gibbs asked.
"I will be sending agents with you guys." Vance assured.
"Thank you, Leon." Gibbs replied nervously.
After his talk with Leon, Gibbs felt sick to his stomach. For the first time in his life he ran out of the diner without even ordering a cup of coffee. The only thing that mattered to him was getting to his boy and protecting him from that bastard. He could not believe that Senior was pulling this crap again. How could he sit there and lie about what had happened to him. Admittedly Gibbs did take the attack a little too far but that bastard was attacking his son while he lay on the street completely helpless. He knew that people were going to take Senior's word over his and feel terrible for him because Gibbs had shot his son. God old Senior had neglected to mention the fact that Manny had just attempted to murder an innocent man at point blank range. Gibbs got back to the hospital and practically ran up to his boy's room. Two security guards stood on either side of his door. One demanded that Gibbs show some ID. When he flashed his NCIS badge and his drivers license they let him in but kicked something into the door to keep it open ajar. A huge feeling of relief washed over him when he saw that Tony was sleeping peacefully in his bed. Gibbs sat down in the chair by his son's bed and picked up his hand.
"Dad? What's going on? Why is security outside my room?" Tony asked.
"Senior is causing trouble again. You, me, two agents, a physical therapist, and a nurse are heading up to Stillwater in the morning." Gibbs explained.
"Great" Tony sighed slamming his head into his pillow.
Morning came and brought with it very unpleasant surprises for Ducky and Gibbs. Ducky had gone home to sleep because his back could not handle a hospital couch or cot and Breena seemed to be getting along as well as she would on her own. Gibbs had gone to his hotel across from the hospital but didn't get any sleep. Both got the dreaded call at five thirty in the morning. Ducky got the news first. Both security guards had been attacked and Breena had been taken from her room but baby Jimmy was left screaming in his crib. Gibbs got the news next the same thing both guards had been shot and Tony was gone. Both got dressed and rushed to the hospitals as soon as they got the news and both were greeted with grim and morbid notes sitting on the now empty hospital beds. Gibbs's was from Senior and Ducky's was from Diane.
"You can only blame yourself for this Agent Gibbs. you savagely attacked me and killed my beloved son. Now you must pay. I posted Diane's bail. We have Tony and Breena. You will never find them before it is too late. Only one will survive and it is up to them to decide. Senior"
"I actually kind of hate to leave you this note Dr. Mallard. As far as the closeted criminals, freaks, and garden variety losers I used to work with. You were OK but as for Jimmy he was well he was a freak and a loser and he had probably broken the law before but that is beside the point. By now you know that Breena is missing. You are probably wondering why I didn't take the baby. Well even though his father was an evil man who ruined lives. He has done no wrong. Yet anyway. Now as for Breena. I wanted to make her pay. Senior posted my bail and we have Breena and Tony. Only one will survive and don't think you can send your team in with guns blazing. It will be too late because we are going to make them decide. Who lives and who dies. Diane"
A/N: Diane and Senior are real sick bastards, aren't they? Who will come out alive or will the team manage to get there in time? New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
