"Are you going to hover over me all night?" CJ asked.
"Toby asked me to make sure you stay okay," Sam mentioned.
"The President has five agents outside my door," CJ pointed out. "Now, unless they come through the window."
"Toby asked me," Sam said again.
"Okay," CJ saw the sincerity in Sam's eyes and nodded. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Sam smiled and finally sat down on CJ's couch. "You think he's okay?"
"I think so," CJ nodded. "I don't understand something."
"What?"
"He's the one kidnapped. He's the one who may not make it. Yet all he could think about was if I was okay," CJ wondered. "Why does he do that?"
"Because deep down, he's got a big heart," Sam smiled. "He protects those he cares about."
"I have this feeling that he's coming home," CJ stood and walked over to her window.
"He will come home," Sam nodded.

"What the hell happened?" Jed asked.
"There was a shoot out outside a old warehouse in Chicago, Illinois. 911 got a call from a man who told them that there were men shooting at him and to get someone there right away. They dispatched every cop that was near by to get over there," Nancy answered, still trying to get all the facts straight with someone on the phone.
"Who were the men?" Jed asked.
"Omar Batten and several of his men were all killed. They pulled their weapons and were shot down on sight."
"Any word on Toby?"
"Not at this moment. No hostage has been found in the warehouse, but they are still looking," Nancy said. "Hold on," She told Jed. Jed waited as Nancy got more news from the guy on the phone. "Are you sure?" Nancy asked. "Thank you," Nancy hung up.
"Well?" Jed snapped.
"They found some blood that was in the basement of the warehouse," Nancy said weakly. "After running s few tests on it, they found that it was Toby's."
"They found his blood?" Jed asked, looking around. "What about a body?"
"No body," Nancy shrugged.
"Are you telling me Toby's dead?" Jed asked.
"I'm not sure."
"Mr. President," Charlie walked in. "Line two."
"Not now!" Jed waved him away.
"It's Toby," Charlie mentioned.
"Toby?" Jed looked at Charlie in shock, as did everyone else in the room.
"Get it," Leo smiled at Jed. Jed walked over and picked up the phone.
"Toby?" Jed questioned.
"Yes sir," Toby answered.
"Thanks God," Jed sat down and took a deep breath. "We thought you were dead."
"Why would you think that?"
"Because they found your blood at the crime scene."
"I was shot in the leg," Toby moaned. "It hurts like hell."
"Where are you?" Jed asked.
"I'm on my way back to the White House," Toby answered. "Is everyone okay?"
"Stop worrying about everyone else," Jed ordered. "Just concentrate on getting your ass back here."
"Yes sir," Toby smiled. "I should get there in about an hour."
"We'll be waiting."
"Thank you Mr. President," Toby said and hung up.
"He's okay," Jed smiled. "He did it."
Everyone shared smiled and pats on the back. Each one proud at the way it all turned out.
CJ'S OFFICE
"I remember him telling Congressmen Jones off because he called me stupid," Sam recalled. "Toby got so pissed he threw the book he was holding at his head."
"He found me when I was shot," Josh looked down. "I remember him telling me everything was going to be okay."
"I remember him having chats with everyone of my boyfriends in the past twenty years. He wanted to make sure they were good enough for me."
"Did you ever find one?" Sam asked.
"Toby never liked anyone," CJ smirked.
"Guys!" Leo barged in. "It's over."
"What?" All three of them jumped up.
"Toby managed to get out somehow and found someone to help. Omar and his guys went to get him, but were stopped by the cops."
"Were they killed?" Josh asked.
"All of them," Leo smiled. "Toby's on his way back now."
"Thank God," CJ took a deep breath. "So, he's fine?"
"He was shot in the leg. But he saw a doctor and got it taken care of."
"It's over," Sam smiled.
"Yeah," Leo smiled back.
