Chapter 4
Five and Half months ago
Gibbs sometimes wished he could be blind. So he could hear more greatly, to see things differently for once…or maybe just not to see anything atrocious at all.
The crime scene today had been one of those instances; Gibbs could've lived without seeing what had happened at that crime scene.
He could tell Tony was being affected by the whole thing; his eyes were filled with disdain and a blank stare as he lifted up the bodies of the little girl and her mother from the ground. Tony was breathing heavily and trying to control his tears. Gibbs could read the boy like an open book.
"DiNozzo," Gibbs placed a hand on his shoulder. "If you need to do it…then do it…"
Tony nodded and walked off over to a couple of bushes. He sat down, placed his face in his hands and let go with an eruption of tears. Gibbs walked off behind him and patted his back.
He, Ziva, and Ex-Director Shepherd knew about Tony's mother dying and two of them knew about his sister. Gibbs didn't know about Sarah, but the woman they had just put into the autopsy truck resembled Tony's mother almost exactly and brought up the worst memories ever for him.
"I'm sorry boss," Tony blubbered. "I just can't…"
"DiNozzo," Gibbs stood him up. "Go back to the office…"
"Yes boss…" Tony stood up and walked over to his car.
Gibbs shook his head; he again wished he was blind sometimes…so he didn't have to grown men cry.
