Chapter 13

It was almost 16:00 when Ducky knocked softly on the white wooden door of Abby's hospital bedroom.

Gibbs' voice was audible.

"Come in."

He opened the door and stepped in, to find himself opposite two smiling faces.

"I assume the two of you have got some good news?"

Gibbs just smiled, and Abby answered.

"Yes, it looks like the baby is going to be just fine."

Ducky smiled.

"My, that is very good news."

He placed the bag he had brought with him in front of the bed.

"Greetings, from all."

Gibbs stood up and closed the window.

"Any news?"

"Yes, good news too."

Ducky shot a cautious look at Abby before proceeding.

"It's okay Ducky, I told him about the plate."

"We have both of them in custody. Tony and Ziva busted them this morning. Unfortunately for them, both have a broken nose, some bruises and one has a broken wrist."

"Good," Gibbs said, with a surprisingly calm voice.

"Indeed."

He took a breath and sat down.

"The DNA matches."

Gibbs walked from one side to the other in front of Abby's bed.

"Why don't you go for a walk; you look like you could use it."

He stopped in front of Abby's bed, and turned to her.

"I don't want to leave you alone."

She smiled.

"I'm not alone, Ducky's here. And besides, the nurse said the doctor wanted to run a few more tests to decide when I can go home with you."

He returned the smile.

"Okay, I think I could use a coffee."

He went to her side, and softly kissed her lips.

"I won't be long."

"I'll be fine."

As far as he was concerned, Tony and Ziva had done a great job, and he was very grateful for their encouragement, but there wasn't a hope in hell that he would miss the opportunity to pay them a visit.

Instead of the coffee run he used the chance to drive back to the navy yard, where those individuals were still in custody.

He tried to make sure that he wasn't seen by any of his team-mates. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side.

Tony and Ziva were both standing in front of the elevator doors as they opened, to his dislike, at the squad room level.

Three faces showed their surprise.

Tony was the first who found his voice again.

"Boss?"

He just stared at them.

"We thought you were with Abby in the hospital," Ziva said.

"Ducky is with her. I'm on a coffee run, but I've got something to do first."

He was still staring at them with his usual Gibbs glare.

"No, we won't go this time."

Not showing how grateful he really was he stepped aside, to give them space to enter the small cube which would bring them to their destination.

Until the police arrive sometime tonight to pick them up, the two men were kept in two separate interrogation rooms with an agent in front of each door.

Not a word was spoken. Ziva went to the surveillance room, in order to see would happen in the room and of course to switch off the audio and video surveillance.

As for Tony and Gibbs , Tony sent the agent in front of the first door for a coffee break and took his place, in front of the room which Gibbs just had entered.

"What do you want?"

The Caucasian suspect named Bobby Miller sat on the chair handcuffed and stared, annoyed, at Gibbs .

Gibbs face was a mask of stone. He crossed the room till he stood right next to him.

He bent down, one hand resting on the table, one hand on the back of the chair.

His mouth was not far away from the bastards' ear.

His cold voice barely a whisper, he said:

"I know many ways to kill someone without a sign being left on your lifeless body. No one would think of anything other than a natural death."

"Man, what did I do to piss you off?"

The voice of the man next to Gibbs was anything but quiet.

Jethro grabbed the collar of the man's shirt and slammed him against the wall opposite the window.

"You son of a bitch, you assaulted my wife, you almost killed my unborn baby and I bet if you would have had the chance, you would have killed her too."

He paused, his voice now calm again.

"This time, you picked the wrong woman; and I'll make damn sure you won't ever harm anyone else."

He again pressed the man hard against the wall, his mouth next to the guys' ear.

"When you are out of prison again, look over your shoulder with every step you take, 'cause one day, I will be right behind you. And then - you will pay for what you did. My way."

With that he clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it hard into the stomach of the rat.

He instantaneously caved into a bundle of trash.

The same act took place three doors down the hall.

After his little "talk" with both of them he stopped in front of Tony .

"Make sure Ducky pays them a visit when he gets back."

Tony nodded and Gibbs went to get himself a coffee, and to get back to his wife a soon as possible.

For the last two hours she enjoyed the conversation with Ducky, before the nurse entered her room with a wheelchair.

"Time for the tests, Abby."

She sat up and the smile disappeared from her face.

"Now? My husband isn't back yet."

"I'm here, Abs."

He entered the room and her smile reappeared.

"Now I'm ready."
