All Tony could do was play along in this seemingly sick game. With a nod, and 'On it boss' he headed went to gas the truck, Gibbs not even noticing his strained face. The team loaded in and headed to the scene.
When they arrived, police officers swarmed the area. Codes, instructions, and orders filled the air. They had bagged, tagged shot, and sketched. Ducky had just gotten there.
"TOD Duck?" Gibbs asked.
"Not that long ago Jethro, I would say about an hour or so." Ducky provided, very well knowing what happened to him when Aspen has once again appeared.
"Boss, we found the sniper nest, a building about half a mile from here." McGee stated as he pointed the building out.
"Good. I want every damn piece of possible evidence. Now." The boss man seethed.
"On it Gibbs," Ziva supplied, before heading off.
"Boss, maybe the Lt. Commander did something he wasn't supposed too." Really, Tony did know what he did, why Lenny wanted him dead. Well, not exactly, but he trusted him, and there has to be a damned good reason for him to call Aspen, he either threatened him, or more likely…his family. He would only do this for them, just like Lenny would kill, parole or not, for his.
Aspen (aka Him) has never killed someone, if the reason wasn't valid.
"Still no excuse DiNozzo, the bastard needs to be put away. He doesn't deserve to have a wife and child." This angered Tony. No…it didn't. It made him FURIOUS. He loved his wife and child. He would give them the world. But he would put them in danger for telling Gibbs a little something now.
All anyone knew is that Aspen is a killer, and his wife and child are anonymous.
"Boss, he's still human. I'm sure he loves them very much." Tony tried to excuse.
"Maybe not DiNozzo. The idiot's probably planning to kill them right now." This was the last straw. He knew Gibbs was angry with Aspen, but he should've never, ever mentioned his wife and kid.
The next thing he knew Gibbs was on the ground, Ziva and McGee were screaming his name, Ducky was gasping, and he was doing the thing he does best. Running.
R&R! Hey! Sorry for how short it is, another chapter tomorrow! PROMISE!
Oh and for those of you that have read "The Runner" On my other account "Imagine The Dreamers", who noticed the reference?
