Gibbs listened to the dial tone on the other end for a few seconds and began to register what had just happened. He set his receiver down and made his way beside Tony. He placed his hand under Tony's arm and lifted him up slowly.

"DiNozzo." He spoke simply, with no other purpose then to let his Agent know he was there.

He was practically dead weight as Gibbs attempted to set him down in his chair. As he did, Gibbs knelt down where Tony had previously been and looked up into his face. "DiNozzo." He said again, not having much of a vocabulary for these types of moments.

Tony's eyes were closed, and only a few tears had made their way out from under his eye lids. He fought frantically to wipe them away with his sleeve before they became ever more evident. He wasn't going to let Gibbs see him cry.

"I'm f-f-fine boss." He attempted to remain composed as he spoke, but his voice was shaky.

Gibbs put one hand on Tony's knee and the other on his shoulder. "DiNozzo." He said once more. "You're not fine."

He shook his head almost violently. "I'm fine."

"Listen to me…" He now placed both his hands on his shoulders. "Tony listen to me…"

He stood up quickly, shrugging Gibbs hands off his shoulders. "Listening to you was what got my Father killed…"

Just then McGee and Ziva entered the already, silent bull pen. "Gosh Tony, I was in on the call, I'm so sorry."

"Spare me Probie…and don't even attempt a sympathy look Ziva."

Gibbs then motioned for the two of them to back away, recognizing the look of anger in Tony's eyes.

"Why don't you sit down Tony?" Gibbs offered. "Take it all in, you're in shock."

He shook his head in disagreement. "I said I'm fine…"

Gibbs took a step towards him and Tony took a step back in response. "Leave me alone boss…I'm fine."

Gibbs insisted on closing the distance between them until they were standing inches from each others faces. Everyone expected another tussle like they had seen hours before, but the complete opposite happened. Within seconds Tony collapsed into Gibbs arms, half sobbing and half fighting his way out of the embrace. "It's not fair…"

Gibbs cradled Tony in his arms. "I know DiNozzo, believe me…I know." He spoke softly and eased him down to his chair, before once again kneeling in front of him. Tony rested his head on Gibbs shoulder, and he slowly wrapped his hand around the back of Tony's neck. "We're gonna get the bastard who did this."

The sobs emanating from Anthony DiNozzo Jr. was all but deafening to the surrounding agents. They were seeing a side of Tony no one thought existed. Ziva had seen that side of Gibbs, but even she was shocked to see Tony's reaction. McGee stood by dumbfounded, unsure of what would come next.

It was then, Tony's desk phone rang, and Gibbs nodded towards McGee to answer it. After a few moments, McGee tapped the phone on Gibbs back.

"Boss, it's them…they want to talk to Tony." He tried to whisper, but Tony's head shot up.

"Easy DiNozzo." Gibbs attempted to calm him as he took the phone out of McGee's hand and gave it to Tony. Gibbs motioned that McGee and Ziva get on the line as well.

"Go to hell." Tony began as he set the receiver to his ear. A few moments passed before he handed the phone back to Gibbs. Ziva and McGee were left speechless.

"What did he want Tony?" Gibbs asked, eyeing Ziva and McGee's reactions. Tony was silent. "What did he say Damnit?"

McGee was jolted out of his shock for a moment by the tone in Gibbs voice.

"Said…if uh…if uh…"

Gibbs then stood up slowly, pacing towards McGee. "What McGee?"

"Uh…um…"

Tony then got up from his chair and took in a deep breath. "That this time, it's you…or he takes us all out one by one."

McGee then looked at Tony as a request to let him finish. "Starting with Abby."
