A/N: I know you're anxious to see what the deal is, so I'll make this thank you quick. Thank you to everyone! I love knowing you're all enjoying the continued adventures we're going through!
To CookiesSprinkles: Thanks for your thoughts & ideas, they're interesting, I'll give you that! Unfortunetly it wouldn't be his mum being alive, he was with her when she died, Tony makes reference to it in Season 9, Ep1, she died in hospital, while they were watching a movie.
What's going on with Tony & his father, let's find out!
Gibbs saw a dejected look on his daughter's face as she came down the hall, but as soon as she saw him she motioned him towards her, obviously wanting a private conversation. "you ok?"
"Today is not the day for that question dad" Kelly replied.
Gibbs realised she was right "ok, what now?"
"Need you to get Tony's dad picked up & brought here, but alone. He's apparently travelling with someone, Tony doesn't want that person brought here. He also doesn't want Tim or Ziva to go, in fact he doesn't want any of his team near him. So it will have to be a separate team, one that's never met him" Kelly answered.
This was just getting better & better Gibbs thought "Ok, that I can do"
"There's a chance those INTERPOL agents may be waiting too. We need to get him before them" Kelly added, she knew she had to give her dad a heads up on them.
Gibbs really wasn't liking this one bit "can you give me any hints? I don't like this Kells"
"I know you don't dad, neither do I" Kelly agreed "Tony has asked that you & mum be with him when he speaks to his father. He's going to need support, a lot of it...annnndddd try not to let him do anything he'll regret later on, I'll be close in case Tony needs anything"
Yet again, Gibbs didn't like that remark, but just like his wife had readily agreed so did he, if Tony needed him, he would be there for him, no questions asked. "Ok, I'll organise a team to get Senior & make sure they get him before INTERPOL do"
Gibbs was waiting for Senior in the reception area of NCIS, he'd sent SSA Kevin Kruse & his team to get him, with clear instructions, bring him alone & don't let INTERPOL take him. He saw the team & DiNozzo Senior approach, better steel himself for this he thought, if only he knew what 'it' was.
"Gibbs" Senior greeted "what is going on?" he was utterly dumbfounded as to what was going on, he'd hoped this trip to have been a great surprise, but stepping off the plane & out of customs he'd been greeted by not only NCIS agents, that he'd never met, but apparently INTERPOL. He was worried, what on earth was going on? Was his son ok?
"Don't know Mr DiNozzo, if you could wait over there, I'll be with you shortly" Gibbs said motioning to a space near the lift, he needed a word with Kruse.
"and will you then tell me what's going on? Is Junior ok?" Senior asked, not liking the brush off.
Gibbs didn't answer him, but looked at Kruse's SFA Michele Lovett "take him please"
"Yes boss" Lovett replied, motioning Senior away from them, she & the rest of their team took him away.
Kruse knew his boss was in the dark as to what was going on, they all were "guy's got a mouth, I see where DiNozzo get's his"
Gibbs looked at Kruse, he was a former Air Force Military Police Officer & had the frame to prove it, it was one of the reasons he choose him to go collect Senior, knowing he wouldn't take shit from INTERPOL & would hold firm ground if push came to shove, he also looked damn intimidating to say the least "ahh huh, run into any trouble?"
"Well, those INTERPOL idiots were there, but they lost the battle to take him" Kruse replied "they were being really determined until I mentioned your daughter's name, said that if they didn't let us speak to him first, they'd have to deal with her & it probably wasn't a good idea to piss off her even more than she was"
Gibbs smirked but he was still surprised they relented "Still..."
"I also told them as soon as we were done with him, they could speak with him" Kruse reported, he had to give them personal assurances that it would be the case.
"That's fair enough" Gibbs agreed "let's get him up to the conference room" he added making a move.
Kruse nodded "yes boss" he'd never dealt with Gibbs in the past, but like everyone he'd heard the stories & the story, but for the life of him he couldn't work out why everyone was intimidated by the guy, he was a very good man & even better boss.
Tony wiped his face with a tissue, Kelly had just left & said his father was on his way up, this wasn't going to be an easy conversation, but he had to have it, he deserved the truth he knew that much at least! He took a few deep breaths, he was as mad as he'd ever thought he'd been in his entire life he just felt completely & utterly betrayed! But he could do this, with Shannon & Gibbs there for support, he was even more certain of the fact. He saw the door handle move & took a deep breath, here goes nothing!
Gibbs held his hands up as he walked "I don't know what's going on, Tony's waiting for you, in there" he pointed to the conference room door, Senior was still bombarding him with questions.
Senior looked at him he still had no idea as to what was going on, but headed into the room, his first appearance at NCIS Naples wasn't exactly going to plan. Opening the door he saw his son standing on the opposite side of the room & he could see how tense he was "Junior" he greeted.
Closing the door behind him, Gibbs flashed Shannon a concerned look, this was the first time he'd seen Tony since before the conversation with those INTERPOL agents & he could tell the poor man had done some serious crying, the only reply he got was a look of equal worry.
Tony just stared at his father, he was not going to be pleasant with him.
Senior could see his son was not himself, but then his eyes fell to the woman he could only presume was Gibbs's wife, stepping forward he held his hand out "you must be Shannon" he said with a smile.
Tony tensed even further & stepped forward full of rage, there was no way he wanted him near her, let alone speak to her, he didn't have the right "Don't!" he exclaimed "you don't have the right to speak to her, let alone call her by name as though she's your friend! You don't even deserve to be the same room as her!"
Shannon had gone to step forward but stepped back in pure shock.
Gibbs's eyes widened in absolute shock, what had gotten him so upset that he was acting like this? He repositioned himself to stand alongside his wife, just in case of who knew what. He thought Tony looked close to decking Senior, that wasn't good, he'd make sure to always stay between them, just in case, this is probably what Kelly was talking about.
Senior looked at his son in utter shock "Junior"
"Don't call me that!" Tony bit back.
Shannon had been completely shocked by Tony's outbursts, she & her husband kept sharing concerned looks, what on earth was going? She wondered if she should say something? It looked like he was teetering on the brink, but she didn't want to get between father & son, so she'd wait for a few more a minutes she decided if things didn't improve she'd then step in.
"Ok Anthony" Senior said "what's all this about?"
"Who'd you come here with?" Tony demanded, he wanted that answer first & foremost.
"Could we possibly speak alone?" Senior asked, he really couldn't work what was going on but he'd prefer to have this conversation alone.
"NO" Tony replied bluntly "I don't give a damn about what you want, they're staying. Who'd you come here with & why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Gibbs just stood there, he & his wife were standing to the side, neither knew quite what to do, Senior was staring at them wanting them to go, but one thing they knew, they weren't going anywhere, Tony needed them, so they'd stay.
"Linda Turner" Senior said quietly "I wanted to talk to you first about it, face to face"
"Why is she here with you? And what did you want to talk about?" Tony demanded, what on earth was she doing here?
Senior hesitated, he really didn't know how he'd take the news "We're... we're... getting married" he said very hesitantly, this was not how he wanted to tell his son.
Tony actually laughed "you're marrying my mother's best friend, she was maid of honour at your damn wedding! That's just... perfect!"
Shannon couldn't help but share a surprised look with her husband, he was getting married again? To Tony's mother's best friend? Hmm... that could elicit a bad reaction to say the least.
"She's... my soul mate Junior" Senior confessed.
"I said, don't call me that!" Tony exclaimed
Taking another deep breath Tony eyed his father again "But if she's your soul mate, and my mother's best friend, I'm guessing she knows the deep dark secret"
"What deep dark secret?" Senior asked.
Tony just stared at his father "you know so many things make sense now it isn't funny!"
"I don't know what you're talking about... Anthony" Senior said, his son's tone, actions & words were seriously worrying him.
Tony just stared at his dad, he was trying to keep his breathing under control, but not really succeeding.
Shannon's heart was breaking watching Tony try to suck up the will to say it, whatever it was, she wanted to help, she wanted to do something, but right now didn't know what.
Tony diverted his gaze from his father & looked over to Shannon & Gibbs, all he saw was their compassion, their love, it made him even madder, but he didn't show it towards them, what he felt was directed to his father & his mother.
Tony shifted his gaze back to his father "you should have told me!"
"Told you what?" Senior asked, what was his son talking about?
"All my life... a lie... a damn fucking lie! You & my mother are real pieces of work you know that!" Tony exclaimed.
Senior just stared at his son, he got a very bad feeling at the pit of his stomach.
Gibbs had a feeling it was about to come out & held his breath wondering what on earth it was.
Shannon could see Tony was ready to let loose, with what she had no idea, but whatever it was it wasn't something small, like her husband she held her breath as she waited..
Tony took a breath & just stared, he took one more deep breath, his eye's locking on his father's.
"You should have told me! When were you going to tell me!?" Tony exclaimed "When were you going to tell that I... had a sister!" he yelled full of rage.
A/N: Ok... I'm not even going to say anything... I'll just let you mull over it... ;P
All I will say is, how will the rest of the conversation go? That's up next!
I'm working hard on it, it will be up shortly! Let me know what you think! Review away!
