Airport, the next morning…
'Ms Grey!' Anthony ducked under the black nylon barrier and was immediately enveloped in a familiar hug.
Gibbs stood back, watching, not wanting to intrude on what he knew would be an emotional moment for Tony.
'Ms Grey…Jethro Gibbs.' Tony pulled Maxine over and she reached out her hand. 'Nice to meet you.'
'Ms Grey.' Jethro smiled politely, shaking the older woman's hand.
'So Anthony…this is him.' Maxine's eyes swept up and down Gibbs.
Gibbs felt the heat rise in his cheeks as he was…appraised.
'Uh huh...' Tony bit his lip, waiting for Maxine's pronouncement.
After a moment, Maxine smiled. 'Clever boy.'
Tony giggled, ignoring Gibbs' rolling eyes and theatrical sigh. 'She likes you. I knew she would.'
Nodding at the carousel Maxine reminded: 'My luggage Tony.'
Tony nodded. 'I'll get it.'
Maxine shook her head. 'No, you'll find me some nice coffee while I get my suitcase Tony.'
'Yes Ma'am.' Tony nodded, looking around.
'Get the car Tony, I'll get the coffee.' Gibbs suggested.
Tony nodded. 'Gibbs likes good coffee too Ms Gray.'
Maxine didn't reply and Tony caught the keys Gibbs tossed him and walked out to the parking lot.
Ben looked around the room uncertainly. 'What's going on?'
Tony smiled, careful not to touch Ben. He knew enough about how Childrens Services worked to know better. 'Ben, this is Maxine Gray. She's gonna…talk about some stuff with you, okay?'
Ben nodded, swallowing hard. 'Uh…okay…are you gonna stay?' He looked up, his eyes seeking Tony's.
'No, but we'll be right outside, okay?' Tony smiled reassuringly and closed the door behind him.
A little while later…
'Ben, why don't you go into the kitchen and get some juice and cookies?' Tony suggested, jerking his head at the door.
Rolling his eyes, Ben left the room.
Maxine sat on the couch, watching Tony as he settled onto the arm of the chair Gibbs had already settled into and looked from Tony's anxious eyes to Gibbs' concerned expression.
'Ms Grey!' Tony prompted after a second of silence.
'Well, you're two men, in a single-sex relationship with no family or financial ties to each other. Ben's a fifteen-year old boy whose parents are on another continent but in fairly regular contact with their son. He lives alone without the regular supervision of an adult, attends school, keeps a house and isn't in any financial difficulty.'
Gibbs felt Tony's hand on his thigh, a silent plea for calm silence which he managed.
'If anyone finds out about this, he'll be taken into care in a second. And I'm duty bound to report what I know.'
'Maxine!' Tony protested.
'I'm sorry Tony. Ben's in danger.'
'I'm not!!' Ben stood in the doorway, eyes bright with tears. 'They wouldn't hurt me!!'
Maxine got up. 'No Ben, not from Tony or…' She realized she didn't know Gibbs' first name. 'But you can't stay on your own.'
'YOU DID THIS…I HATE YOU!!' Ben yelled at Tony, slamming the door.
Tony looked at Gibbs, tears in his eyes. 'Do something!'
Gibbs looked helplessly at Maxine. She nodded at the door. 'What's his address?'
'I'll take you.' Gibbs got up, pausing briefly to give Tony's shoulder a reassuring squeeze.
Maxine got up, following Gibbs out.
