Thanks everyone for the great reviews its so lovely to see them all. I know i have kept you waiting for this and its only short but i will try and add more soon
Gibbs sighed he knew he needed to find Maloney and Tony's dad fast so Tony would concentrate on getting better but he was also worried about leaving Tony encase he attempted another escape there really was no straightforward answer. Gibb's looked as Ducky and Brad were frowning at Tony's latest x-rays before being distracted by Tony coughing.
Gibbs reached to help Tony sit up aware that Tony was trying not to cough now as each cough pulled at his stitches. Tony hated feeling so helpless he was laying in bed why Maloney could do whatever he wanted to his Dad.
'Boss I need to find dad before its too late,'
Gibbs went to respond but was cut off by Brad.
' Tony there is no way you are going to find anyone in your current state, in fact your not going to be going anywhere anytime soon, I know you want to help find your dad but unless we get this infection under control then that's it for you there is only so much I can do. If you want to help your dad you have to do s your told and fight because your lungs are struggling to cope.'
Tony turned from Brad not wanting to face the truth, he knew he was struggling just to take air in let alone anything else that combined with his previous injuries left him feeling weak
Gibbs wanted to shout at Tony for being so stupid especially as his father seemed to care so little for his onlt sons wealthy, but Gibbs knew Tony he never wanted anyone to put themselves on the line for him and now was no exception. ~Instead of berating his senior field officer he reached over to squeeze his shoulder.
' Tony I will find your Dad and get him back but I need you to concentrate on fighting first. You need to do what Brad and Ducky say so I can leave to help the others, you think you can do that?'
Tony nodded and fell asleep relaxing a little knowing his boss was on the case.
Gibbs after getting Brad and Ducky to agree to ring him if there was any change left the hospital promising to send guards for Tony's room encase anyone attempted to get at Tony, after all there was no telling what lengths Maloney would go to, to ensure Tony suffered for making him go to prison.
Once Gibbs had left Ducky settled down to keep an eye on Tony, whilst Tone should have been to weak to try escaping again Ducky knew he had an ability to surprise his Doctors with the sheer determination he put in to escaping. Ducky was engrossed in his medical journal when Tony's oxygen saturation alarm started going off. He quickly reached to turn up the flow as he saw the panic in his patients eyes. Brad came in and seeing that Ducky had already turned the oxygen up with little impact he got Tony into a sitting position ignoring the gasp of pain from Tony. With Ducky's help he got Tony to cough and when that didn't seem to help he suctioned Tony out realising his patient was too weak to move the thick mucus any further on his own. Once they had finished they carefully laid Tony back down and checked that no other damage had been done before both retreating into the doorway.
'I'm worried Duck, he doesn't seem to be fighting yet I thought he would want to with his father out there'
' I have a theory on that but I hope I'm wrong either way he needs Jethro'
' What he needs is to be put on a ventilator but we both know that he wont agree to that'
