The interrogation
The interrogation wasn't anything out of the ordinary but Gibbs did get Ben to talk. He confessed that he was going to kidnap Aidan and use him as bait to get Kate back. Sadly one of the agents he shot had died so now he was charged with murder. Kate was sort of relieved because if he was convicted he would now be put away for life. After Gibbs took Ben's statement he let Tony and Kate's lawyer in the room. "Hello Mr. Johnson." Keith Andrews said. "Who are you?" Ben asked. "I'm the Dinozzo's lawyer. I have something for you." Andrews replied. "What's that?" asked Ben. "It's a restraining order and according to this you cannot even be in the same city as Anthony, Caitlin, or Aidan Dinozzo. The only exception is when you come to court here in D.C." Andrews replied. "I want the trial to be in my hometown." Ben told Gibbs. "Not going to happen." Gibbs replied as he and Andrews left the room.
Gibbs and Andrews then entered the room where Tony, Kate, and Aidan were. "How are you guys holding up?" Gibbs asked. "We've been better, but I guess were fine." Kate said. "How's Aidan?" asked Gibbs. "He's doing better than we are." Kate replied. "He seemed pretty scared earlier but he's fine now. He's a tough kid." Tony said with a certain amount of pride. "He gets that from his parents." Gibbs replied. "Gibbs, we didn't get a chance to thank-you…" Kate started to say but Gibbs cut her off. "I was just doing my job." Gibbs said. "Well thank-you anyway." Tony said. "Hey I couldn't let anything happen to a possible future NCIS agent, now could I?" Gibbs said as he left to finish dealing with Ben. Then Tony and Kate talked with their lawyer about what was to happen next.
After everything was said and done Gibbs ordered Tony and Kate to go home and take the rest of the week off. Once Tony, Kate, and Aidan were home they all just sat down on the couch. "I think we should get out of town for a few days." Tony said. "Where would we go?" Kate asked. "My parents have a cabin in the mountains, there is usually snow this time of year I'm sure Aidan would love that." Tony said. "Okay that sounds like a good idea. We have so much to do before we go though." Kate said. "So do you want to leave tomorrow?" Tony asked. "Yeah, but like I said we have so much to do. We have to pack and don't forget we have to get Aidan his dinner and get him ready for bed." Kate replied. "Well we can pack later and I'll take care of Aidan, why don't you go take a nice warm bath or something and try to relax." Tony suggested. "But…" Kate started to say when Tony stopped her. "Relax." He told her. "Okay, but I'm going to pack my stuff first because if I don't it won't get done tonight." Kate replied. "Okay." Tony said. After Kate got done packing and took her bath she went into the bedroom to find Tony and Aidan in bed and Tony had just finished reading Aidan a story. "Dada, again." Aidan demanded. "No Aidan we're not reading the story again tonight, it's time for you to go to sleep." Tony told him. "How many times did he make you read it?" Kate asked as she sat down on the bed next to Tony and gave him a very deep passionate kiss. "Twice." He replied as Kate got into bed. "Dada!" Aidan said trying to get Tony's attention. "Yes Aidan?" Tony asked. "Love you Dada." Aidan told him. Tony picked Aidan up and held him. "I love you too Aidan." Tony replied with a smile and he looked at Kate. "He's putting sentences together now, Tony." Kate said with a smile. "When did this happen?" Tony asked. "He said 'love you Mommy' this morning." Kate replied. "Where was I?" asked Tony. "You were on the phone with the lawyer but don't worry that's all he's said." Kate replied. Tony put Aidan between him and Kate and Aidan snuggled up to Kate. Soon all three of them were asleep.
