"What? Hospital? Bomb? What the hell happened to Gibbs?" Tony was panicking.

"There was a gay wedding yesterday. Small ceremony. Gibbs was invited. Later, in the evening, the newlyweds and their guests celebrated at Babylon. It's a gay club owned by a friend of the pair. It seems, somebody wasn't happy about a same sex marriage and placed a bomb in the club. Gibbs was injured. He's at the hospital. From what I have heard from my sources at the local Police Department, Gibbs helped looking for victims and organized the search. It wasn't until everyone was found - dead or alive - that he broke down. I already sent Dr. Mallard to the hospital. He will keep me updated about Gibbs' injuries and condition." Vance explained the situation to Tony.

"I... shit. I need to go to the hospital. WE need to go there. We need to see Gibbs." Tony said.

"Not yet. We are working with the FBI and you are in charge now, Agent DiNozzo. I need you and your team to work with Fornell and find out who placed the bomb. This is a hate crime. When Fornell heard that Gibbs was injured he wanted you, Agents McGee and Bishop as well as Mrs. Sciuto and Dr. Mallard to work the case with him. I want you to look at the recording material from the press and do background searches on all the guests. Everyone who's a gay hater is a suspect. As soon as we hear from Dr. Mallard, you can go to the hospital and question Gibbs. I decided to leave that task to you and Fornell agreed." Vance told him.

"Thank you, Director. We will find whoever did this. We won't disappoint you. Or Gibbs." Tony vowed.

To say that Gibbs' team was shocked was the understatement of the year. Abby couldn't stop the tears from falling at the gruesome hatred against homosexuals. Ellie just stared wide eyed, not able to say anything at all. Tim's mouth opened and closed again and again, he desperately wanted to say something but simply couldn't. The hate crime that also got their beloved Gibbs injured was too much for them to understand. Tony had tried to tell them as gently and patiently as possible but he knew that he had to get them back to work. They had a crime to solve.

"These bastards will pay, Tony. We'll get them and put them behind bars for the rest of their undeserving lives." Abby said determined after a couple of minutes in pure shock.

"Yes, we will! For all the victims. For Gibbs." Tony said and the four of them parted to do their jobs.

Tim was checking the guest list as well as the caterer, techniques and more and did background researches while Ellie went with Fornell, who shortly after their quick campfire appeared, to secure the crime scene and collect more evidence for Abby. Fornell brought about 20 boxes of evidence with him but more was about to come.

"Tony, Tim... check the parents of the groom Hendrik. And the father of the other groom, Justin. As far as I'm concerned he was raised by his mother and nobody knows a damn thing about his father but try to find anything tho. They were against this marriage. Hendrik was disowned by his parents. When I informed Hendrik's parents about the bomb, well, they didn't seem to be very surprised or shocked at all." Fornell told them. Tim nodded and went back to the task at hand.

Fornell turned to Tony, "Was a small ceremony but the party was bigger. The owner of the club, Brian Kinney, had the usual dancers and service people working. There were over 200 people in the club when the bomb exploded. So far, we have over 50 dead bodies. Only about 30 people got out almost uninjured. The rest is at the hospital. Some are heavily injured. You heard anything from Ducky?" He asked Tony.

"Not yet. Vance sent him to the hospital to check up on Gibbs. You said Brian Kinney is the owner of the club? He's been here to pick up Gibbs on Monday." Tony told the FBI Agent.

"Yeah, they're friends. Kinney wasn't majorly injured. Told us about the pair's parents. The LGBT community here in D.C. is pretty big and most know the club and Kinney. And... Gibbs. He's part of that community. Not really active but he supports them. He's friends with many of the victims. This is going to be tough on him." Fornell said.

"We'll find out who was responsible for the crime. And we'll be there for Gibbs. Nobody here is going to let him down. And his own sexual preferences doesn't matter. He's Gibbs, the hardest and best Agent this agency has ever had." Tony told Fornell.

"Yeah... well, kinda funny. Gibbs told me something similar about you not too long ago. He's proud of you, DiNutso. He knows you'll do a good job with the team in his absence. You're the best young Agent he's ever worked with. He told me that." Fornell didn't want to hide that Gibbs was very proud of Tony and put all of his confidence on the man to him because he knew Tony needed to hear it.

"Thanks. I will honor Gibbs and so will the team. We won't let him down." Tony said with a small smile.

Flashback: Two months earlier

"Dad? You home?" A voice rang through the house. Gibbs was down in his basement, working on a crib for his friend's next baby.

"Basement." Gibbs yelled. He heard someone walking down the stairs and without even looking for the guest, he greeted. "Hey Sunshine. What brings you here in the middle of the night?"

"Just wanted to see you, Dad." The young man said and when he reached Gibbs, the two of them shared a hug.

"Good to see you. How's your head? Any more headaches?" Gibbs asked.

"Nope. It's all good. Brian bought me a computer so I can continue to draw and all with my shitty hand." The young man told him.

"Justin," Gibbs sighed. "You were heavily injured not too long ago. Give yourself some credit. When you woke up from the coma you couldn't use your hand at all. It takes time for your body to fully recover. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Gibbs spoke gently.

"I know, Dad. I just wish the bashing never happened. Thank God Brian was there or I'd have died there. Hobbs bashed me and ran away." Justin remembered.

"He's an asshole. But you're right about Brian." Gibbs smiled at his son. Of course, Justin wasn't his son by blood, hell Gibbs never even dated his mom.

"Brian's a good friend. I owe him so much. It was really nice from him to go to the prom with me. Wish it could have been Hendrik tho. And while we are speaking of Hendrik, I've got to tell you something. He asked me to marry him, Dad." Justin said smiling brightly.

"He.. what?" Gibbs asked. "Marry? Justin, aren't you both too young?"

"Dad, we're in love and we want to spend the rest of our lives together. I said yes." Justin told him happily.

"Wow... I was not expecting this." Gibbs said and couldn't help but think of Brian. Gibbs knew the older man was desperately in love with Justin but wouldn't interfere in the blonde's relationship.

"We're getting married very soon. A small ceremony but we'll have a huge party later at Babylon. I already asked Brian. He's happy for me and agreed for us to celebrate at his club." Justin said.

"I'm happy for you, too Justin." Gibbs smiled and hugged the blonde man he loved as if he were his own son.

"So, will you bring a date?" Justin asked curiously.

"Don't think so, Sunshine." Gibbs answered honestly.

"I was thinking... you could ask Very Special Agent DiNozzo to join you." Justin grinned.

"Hell no, Justin. I told you to let it go." Gibbs sighed.

"Why? You're in love with him. You should tell him, you HAVE to tell him, Dad." Justin said.

"Tony is straight, Justin. And I told you that I don't want to spend too much time with him outside of work because it hurts like hell." Gibbs said sternly.

"I know. I just want you to be happy, Dad. You deserve it." Justin said sadly.

"As long as you are happy, I am, too." Gibbs said sincerely.
