Chapter Eight: Let the good times roll…
Special Agent Jethro Gibbs had never felt this nervous before. He had stared down countless gun barrels, performed death defying missions as part of the Marines and yet here he was, terrified about meeting the daughter he hadn't known existed until three days ago. Gibbs kept his 'mask' on as he followed Tony Dinozzo through the mess of tables and patrons and dancers until he reached the bar where girls dressed in skimpy outfits shimmied in time to the music. "So what are we doing here, DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked uncertainly, not knowing why they were here but he had a sinking feeling in his gut. "Just trust me, okay?" Tony requested as he pulled a fifty dollar note out of his pocket and waved it in the direction of the nearest bartender, a pretty young blonde with startling blue eyes who danced over to them, the tiny skirt and low cut t-shirt barely covering her tiny frame "Can I help you, gentlemen" she cooed and Tony leered at the girl "How much for a private dance, sugar?" Tony sleazed and the girl giggled childishly "Fifty" she informed them as she tucked Tony's money into her bra and slithered around the bar to lead them towards a private booth.
Tiana Bradley knew she was in trouble as soon as she saw her fiancé and her biological father make their way towards the bar, but she knew better than to break cover so she played the giggling stripper part to perfection, leading Tony and Gibbs to a booth in the corner and shimmying into Tony's lap.
Gibbs looked at Tony and wondered if his protégé had suddenly taken leave of his senses when the giggling young stripper looked at him from her position on Tony's lap and smiled sweetly "Hello" she greeted before she turned her attention to Tony "Hey sweetie, what's up?" she asked as she continued to dance in Tony's lap, enjoying the shocked look on Gibbs' face and keeping an eye on her target in the mirror that ran along the perimeter of the room "Oh great, he's moving" she muttered and Tony followed her gaze to a group of Armani clad guys heading for the door "Honey, I need you to follow those guys outside and I'll join you in a minute. I just need to grab my bag" Tia instructed Tony who nodded and stood up, cradling Tia to his chest for a minute before she blew a kiss at Gibbs and sneakily headed to the door leading to the dancers lounge.
"Are you going to tell me exactly what is going on here, DiNozzo?" Gibbs demanded as he and Tony exited the club, letting the group of men get ahead of them "All will be revealed, boss, all will be revealed" Tony announced mysteriously as he watched Tia stride sexily out of a nearby alley and slither up to one of the suits, whispering in his ear and gently leading him back into the alley, leaving his friends gaping in amazement.
Gibbs and Tony reached the alley just in time to see Tiana deliver a punishing right hook to the suit clad man before kicking him to the ground, and quick as lightning slapped a pair of handcuffs on his wrists. Gibbs stared in disbelief as Tia stood up straight, dragging her catch up with her, flicked one of her blonde pigtails out of her eyes and smiled shyly "Hello, I'm Tiana" she introduced herself properly and Gibbs was speechless. Tony, who had never seen his boss stunned and speechless before gently began to steer Gibbs and Tiana back towards the car, chatting inanely to Tiana about her move into his apartment, and he helped her shove her capture into the backseat beside her and slammed the door.
Gibbs slid into the car and didn't object when Tony sat at the wheel and started the ignition, heading towards the police station. He was still silent when Tony pulled up into the parking area of the station and Tiana scooted out of the car, dragging her skip with her "I'll catch you in a couple of hours for lunch, baby?" Tia asked Tony, confusion and pain swirling around in her blue eyes "We'll wait" Gibbs informed her and Tiana shook her head, blonde pigtails bouncing as she shook her head "I've got to get back to work and then I've got some packing to do" she said and Tony caught the slight hint of desperation in her voice "Okay honey. Usual time and place" Tony conceded, fury towards Gibbs beginning to swirl in his stomach as Tia turned around, blew Tony a kiss and headed into the police station, dragging her capture roughly behind her.
