Jimmy watched Tony intently hoping that he was just pulling the mother of all fake outs. That once Jimmy got scared enough. He would jump back and be just fine. Instead he started pounding himself in the chest and fell to the ground. Jimmy noticed that his skin was starting to turn blue. Standing to the side were the two people who were most important too and needed Tony the most. Sadie who was his child who depended on him for the nourishment and love that she lacked in the first years of her life. Even though she was too small to fully understand what was going on and likely had never heard of when Tony had the plague. She was softly crying in Gibbs's arms. Gibbs was just standing there like he was frozen. His face had drained of color as he bit his lip and struggled to hold back his own tears. Jimmy knew how close they had been before as did everybody at NCIS but Jimmy knew the big secret. How much Gibbs cared for Tony. Not even Tony knew exactly how special he was to Gibbs. The love the former Marine had for his agent went beyond flesh and blood. Tony was in no way related to Gibbs and hadn't even met him until adulthood. Yet somehow it was like Gibbs had been with him since before his birth. Jimmy could not and prayed he would never be able to imagine the terror that Gibbs must be feeling right now. Even though he was scared to death it was nothing compared to how Gibbs must be feeling. All he knew was that it was up to him to keep Tony going until help arrived. Gibbs was too upset and Sadie was too small it had to be him. Jimmy carefully helped Tony sit up and ran to grab him a cup of coffee. One good yet strange thing about Gibbs was that even at night he had strong coffee in the pot. Jimmy ran and got Tony a cup and ordered Tony to drink it. While he called 911. most of the drink ended up sprayed across the living room. Luckily the paramedics arrived fast.

"Palmer take the kid I am riding in the ambulance with Tony!" Gibbs barked.

"Of course" Jimmy replied.

"H...hospi...ittall?" Tony coughed.

"Yes Tony you need it." Gibbs explained.

"G...good" Tony replied.

Sadie looked up at Jimmy with her big green eyes. Jimmy had never realized before how much she looked like Tony. It broke his heart to see how confused and upset she looked. Everything had been happy she had been safe in the arms of her Grandpa Gibbs watching her daddy play around. Now some strange people had taken her dad away and she was left with Jimmy.

"Jimmy?" Sadie asked.

"What is it Sadie?" Jimmy asked.

"Where's daddy?" Sadie asked.

"Oh he's a little sick and has to go to the hospital but grandpa Gibbs is with him." Jimmy explained.

"He'll be OK?" Sadie asked.

"Yeah" Jimmy replied praying that it wasn't a lie.

"Good" Sadie replied.

"Sadie I have to call my wife and tell her that I am going to be late." Jimmy said.

"OK" Sadie replied.

Gibbs was starting to go stir crazy as he waited for news on his son. He had spent far too much time in hospitals waiting for news on that boy over the nearly thirteen years had worked with that boy. Ever since the plague it was Bethesda waiting for Dr. Pitt or whoever he was consulting with for Tony's care or one of the other DC area hospitals waiting to see if Tony required transfer. Today because of the difficulty breathing he was taken directly yo Bethesda. Even though DC General was much closer. Gibbs had gotten into a heated argument with the paramedics and nearly jumped up front and hijacked the ambulance before they finally gave in to him. This whole thing was scaring the hell out of him. Firstly Tony had not had a coughing fit like that in years. The last Gibbs could recall was about six months after he had the plague. Secondly the fact that Tony didn't put up any fight with Gibbs or the paramedics. In fact he was glad to be going to the hospital. Gibbs had never been a very religious person but he found himself praying that Tony be OK and if he was sick that he would come through well. Selfishly he didn't want to lose his boy but more importantly for the sake of little Sadie. That sweet girl needed her daddy. What felt like hours had passed and Gibbs was about to explode. When Dr. Pitt walked through the big double doors and approached him.

"Jethro?" Dr. Pitt asked.

"Not interested in formalities Bradley just tell me how my boy is." Gibbs snapped.

"How much did Tony tell you about his last appointment with me?"Dr. Pitt asked.

"That he was just fine. I take it he wasn't how bad is it? I can't lose another one." Gibbs replied.

"While it is a condition that he should take seriously it's not slowly killing him like cancer or failing lungs. He has asthma and I'm guessing that he forgot to use his inhaler today." Dr. Pitt explained.

"Never mentioned asthma or needing an inhaler. He disappeared a couple of times and always made an excuse. Is he even supposed to still be an agent?" Gibbs demanded.

"He can still be an agent but he better use inhaler before chasing down any suspects. Because I do not want to see him gasping for air and blue ever again." Dr. Pitt explained.

"Oh I will see to it that he uses that thing everyday." Gibbs assured.

"Just remember Tony's luck before you try tying him up and forcing him to take his medicine." Dr. Pitt said.

"I will speaking of Tony can I see him yet?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes you can. I will take you to his room." Dr. Pitt replied.

"How long until he is released?" Gibbs questioned.

"We are still waiting on the results of his blood test and the chest X-ray we took to be safe. If he were just a regular asthmatic he would probably be being released right now but because of his history with the plague we have to run a battery of tests to make sure even the slightest ailment isn't the start of something serious." Dr. Pitt explained.

"I understand." Gibbs replied.

"Dr. Pitt?" Emma called entering the waiting room.

"I am getting ready to take Gibbs to see Tony is this important?" Dr. Pitt asked.

"I actually have Tony's test results." Emma explained.

"How does everything look?" Dr. Pitt asked.

"His chest X-ray is normal but look at his blood work." Emma replied handing Brad the folder.

"Oh my God." Dr. Pitt gasped.

"What is it?" Gibbs asked.

"Agent Gibbs you need to come with me right away." Dr. Pitt replied.
