Chapter 6

Gibbs wanted to go and take care of business, now, like right now. Gibbs was never known for his patience. But he knew Tony wanted, needed to be a part of this. He was the one that was beaten and tortured. He needed to be in on taking the vampires down, whether it was one or the whole nest.

Gibbs sat down with his back against the headboard on the empty side of Tony's bed. He crossed his legs and got comfortable. He then looked up at the Winchesters as Dean cleared his throat.

Gibbs looked over at him and stated. "I'm not leaving here without my agent. DiNozzo won't leave here without taking care of those vampires. So, we're staying and killing the bastards…as a team." He stopped and grinned. "And we could use a couple good trackers."

"How long is he gonna need?" Sam asked, about Tony.

Gibbs was about to answer when Tony started to get restless in his sleep. Gibbs put his hand on the young man's head. Then he brushed the lose strands of hair out of his eyes. Tony immediately calmed at Gibbs' fatherly gesture. Gibbs made sure Tony was resting peacefully before he turned to answer Sam's question.

"I'd say two or three hours." The team leader stated.

Sam and Dean noticed Tony's and his boss' interaction. It was obvious Tony had a great deal of trust in the older man. And Gibbs trusted Tony, he took care of the younger man like he would a son.

Gibbs laid he head back against the headboard and fell asleep. Tim used the time to communicate with the office and tell Abby as much as he could about what was going on with Tony. Ziva cleaned her guns and sharpened her knifes. Sam and Dean finished making the silver bullets. Sam then cleaned their guns while Dean sharpened and re-sharpened the wooden stakes that they had made.

Gibbs was suddenly jolted awake by Tony's yelling and thrashing around in the bed.

"Get away from me!" Tony yelled, his hands making fists in the sheets on the bed, as if he was bracing himself for some sort of pain. He groaned as the vampires, in his dream, ripped his shirt open and dragged a sharp blade across his chest opening up a thin bleeding wound. He cursed back at them, and was rewarded by being stabbed in the thigh. He screamed in pain.

The whole room was awake now, and probably most of the motel.

Gibbs was talking to Tony, trying to calm him. But he didn't seem to be having any effect. Gibbs then got up off the bed.

"DiNozzo!" Gibbs yelled so Tony could hear him. "Wake Up!"

Tony stopped moving almost immediately. He didn't open his eyes right away. But he listened. He seemed to be trying to recognize the voice.

"You're okay, DiNozzo." Gibbs said as he sat back down on the bed. "Listen to me, Tony. It was a dream. Just breathe, you're alright."

Tony opened his eyes as he tried to control his breathing. He sat up. He put his hand to his chest and then he looked down at his leg, there were no wounds, no cuts and no blood. He realized the dream was over, and he looked around the room, remembering where he was. He sighed and then lay back down and closed his eyes. His head was still hurting.

"You're okay, Son." Gibbs said, still talking quietly to Tony. "Just breathe."

Tony didn't open his eyes, and he waited until he breathing evened out before he spoke. "Thanks, Boss."

Gibbs smiled as he resumed his position with his back against the headboard. He got comfortable as he watched Tony drift off to sleep again.

Sam and Dean watched the interaction. It almost made both of them jealous. They would have loved for their dad to be like that to them.

Tony awakened a couple hours later. He felt much better and he, the rest of the team and the Winchester sat out to terminate some vampires.

Tim pulled Tony aside for just a second as everyone else left the motel room.

"Tony, do you…what you saw…I mean…?" Tim stammered out his question.

Tony stopped and looked at Tim for just a moment. "I know what you're saying, Tim. And I get it. I really do. But as much as I joke around about things, this is real. It is very real, Tim." Tony paused and kind of chuckled. "Before this happened, I would have been as skeptical as you. I mean, we have enough evil in the world with just the crap human beings do. We don't need to add a whole new dimension to this thing. But, unfortunately, it does exist. We can't ignore it."

"What about ignorance being bliss?" Tim asked.

"It wasn't in my case. It was mean, nasty, and downright deadly." Tony stated.

Dean looked in the room again before he closed the door to make sure that they had not left anything. Sam had gone ahead and returned the key to the office. He then returned to the group as Dean was heading out to the Impala.

Dean called over to Team Gibbs. "You're following us. We'll head back to where we found Tony and go from there."

Gibbs nodded and got in behind the wheel. They all got in after stowing their packs in the trunk. Sam and Dean threw their duffels in the trunk then they all headed out.
