Two hours went by. It were just Gibbs, McGee and Ziva in the bullpen.
Gibbs didn´t know what to do. But he knew one thing. He had to talk to Tony.
"Go home, yout two. Get some sleep and then I´ll see you back tomorrow morning." Gibbs said, grabbed his own things and headed out.
Gibbs drove to Tonys apartment. He exited his car and went for the door.
The door was slightly open and Gibbs drew his gun. He went inside and heard screams.
He walked to Tonys bedroomdoor and opened it. He put his gun away at what he saw.
"Ah, special agent Gibbs, want to try?" Tonys father said holding a baseballbat in one hand.
"Sure, why not." Gibbs said and walked over to the men.
"My pleasure." Tonys father said and gave Gibbs the bat.
Gibbs nodded. He looked at Tony and raised the bat. Tony flinshed. But Gibbs swung the bat the other way and knocked Tonys father to the ground. He turned around, kneeled next to the man and cuffed him. He turned back to his agent.
Gibbs saw the bloodsoaked t-shirt. Tony trembled and Gibbs hugged him tightly.
"You´re okay?"
"I hope so..." Tony said with a quit voice.
"You´re going to be."
Tony laid his head on Gibbs shoulder and the two stayed that way for a while.
"Well, Anthony, finally found someone who likes you?" Tonys father laughed.
"Can I kick this asshole?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah..."
Gibbs took Tonys face between his hands and looked him in the eyes.
"I´m sorry."
Tony nodded. "Me, too."
"This worthless bastard doesn´t deserve that!" The man screamed.
Gibbs turned around and kicked the man. "Shut the fuck up!" He barked.
"I´ll drive this bastard to HQ and charge him for attacking a federal agent. You´re going to be allright?" Gibbs asked with a calm voice.
"Yeah..."
"Should I come back?"
"No need to. I´m okay." Tony answered.
"Okay." Gibbs said and laid one hand on Tonys cheek. "Bye."
"Bye."
Gibbs brought the man to HQ and Ziva got to play with him in the interrogationroom.
