Chapter 7
Tony let out a small sigh as he leaned back into the hospital bed, the doctor nodded to him and walked outside, saying something about checking his x-rays.
He shook his head, so his head and back hurt a little, his left wrist was a little swollen but he was fine.
Really, he was just bruised, nothing serious. Really. He looked over at Gibbs and opened his mouth to say it out loud.
"Don't even say it." Gibbs growled not looking up from the magazine he was reading. "You fell out a window…"
"And landed on a guy, a big guy I might add." Tony said to his defence.
"Maybe that, my young Anthony." Ducky said as he walked into the room. "But the human body is hard with many muscles and bones. And a fall from a two story building can be very dangerous."
"Nice to see you, Ducky." Gibbs said laying down his magazine. "The doctor just went to check on Tony's x-rays and I want you to take a look also."
"Absolutely, Jethro."
The two older men walked out of the room, Gibbs casting Tony a hard "don't you dare try anything" look. Tony sighed and tried to look innocent making Gibbs shake his head before the door closed behind him.
Tony looked around, his fingers started to drum against the bedcovers, he didn't like to be in a hospital and he was getting bored.
He swung his legs carefully over the bedside and sat up, his back complained a little but it wasn't too bad. He stood up carefully, swaying a bit as he felt dizzy but it disappeared rather quickly and he made his way slowly to the bathroom.
As he was doing his business, he heard the door open and closed, so he finished it quickly and opened the bathroom, thinking that Gibbs had come back.
"Who are you?" Tony said as he saw an unknown man in the hospital room. His eyes widened as he recognized the man who turned around at the sound of his voice.
Before Tony could say or do anything more the man moved fast as lightning, laid a hand over the agent's mouth and pushed him against the wall so he hit it with a low thump.
"You always had bad timing, showing up at the badest times." The man growled, pushing Tony harder against the wall when he tried to get away. The young man let out a small moan as his sore back was pressed against the wall and it made the man smile at him.
"But some things never change, huh." The man looked around as they heard footsteps outside the door but the owner of the steps walked past the room. He let out a small sighed and then looked Tony in the eyes, then he smiled big and Tony's vision went black.
The man slipped out of the hospital room, looked around before he walked a couple of hundred meters and sat down in the chair he had been sitting in before he had walked into the room.
How stupid was he really? he thought to himself. When he had seen the man with the silver-grey hair walk out of the room with an old man he had seen a window of opportunity.
So he walked over to the room, opened the door carefully and when he saw that the room was empty he decided to take a look, then the stupid boy walked in and saw him.
He knocked the kid out, then slipped out of the room carefully no one seeing him, his cell phone started to ring as he sat down.
"Yeah."
"Time to get back to the house. Donnie is waiting for you downstairs." Vinnie said on the other line. "Get some rest Al."
Gibbs sat next to the hospital bed staring at the agent lying in the bed. He and Ducky had made their way back to Tony's room after they spoke to the doctor and found Tony lying on the floor, unconscious.
"Why do you keep doing this to me?" Gibbs asked out loud and shook his head.
"Boss…." Tony slowly opened his eyes and looked questionly at Gibbs. "What happened?"
"I and Ducky found you on the floor after we talked to the doctor." Gibbs said frowning. "They think that you passed out…"
Tony looked out the window, avoiding Gibbs clear blue eyes as he remembered the man that had been in the room.
"Tony, did something else happen?"
"I went to the bathroom, felt a bit dizzy as I walked back to the bed. I probably passed out…" Tony said still not looking at his boss.
"Tony…." Gibbs started to say but was interrupted by the doctor walking in. He listened as the doctor spoke to Tony, he knew that his agent was lying to him about what happened. But why would he do that?
"We would want to keep you for a few hours because you passed out and hit your head but I think that you could go home later this evening." The doctor said. "The x-rays showed no breaks but you will be sore for a few days and your left wrist is lightly sprained, it needs just to be wrapped for a few days."
"When can I go back to work?" Tony asked.
"If you rest and take it east tomorrow so can you go back to work the day after."
"Thanks doctor." Tony said, the doctor nodded and walked out of the room. "Boss, you don't have to stay. I'm sure that you have more than a thousands things to do."
"Don't think that you will get rid of me so easily, DiNozzo." Gibbs said as he leaned back in his chair. "Someone have to keep you out of trouble."
