Jason's condition worsened over the course of the night. The stress of possibly losing his daughter was just too much on him. When he had his first heart attack was a mere 16 years ago and he was a lot healthier back then and a lot younger. He convinced the hospital that he was good as new by the next day. But Jason Bull couldn't pull that this time around as he lay on life support and nearly all of his major organs had already shut down. As hard as it was, Benny, Ducky and Gibbs would have to come to a decision on if they were to continue life support in just a few hours.

Just a few doors down lay Jason's daughter Tonya. She continued to have mini-strokes throughout the night. The doctors warned Kate, Cable and Danny that it was leading up to another major stroke which if she had, the chances of her pulling through would only be about 5%. During the night she stopped breathing on her own again and they had to put her back on a ventilator.

T.J. seemed to be the only safe one in his family. With the way that his back was broke, the doctors didn't take time to do any tests, they just rushed him into emergency surgery to try and save his back, which failed. From the waist down he would never be able to move again.

Sadly, however, T.J. was the first to go. He had internal bleeding that the doctors were not able to catch in time.

Chunk texted Benny shortly after T.J. passed.

We just lost T.J.

"Ok seriously?! You've got to be kidding me!" Benny exclaimed.

"What is it dear boy?" Ducky asked.

"T.J. just died. He was the strongest one!" Benny said trying to hold it together.

"What the hell happened?" Gibbs spat.

"Something about he had internal bleeding that they couldn't find in time." Benny answered. "Jason won't hold on much longer, not now that T.J.'s gone. If he loses Tonya, that would really do him in."


With Tonya being in a coma, the girls didn't realize that she could hear everything they were saying. When Ducky came in to inform them of T.J. it was a bit much on Tonya. The machines started going crazy once more.

"I'm going to have to have you to leave now!" The doctor said rushing in.

The girls and Ducky stood outside her room hoping and praying for the best outcome.

"It's not looking good for our dear Jason either. His body has completely shut down, there are very few brain waves left. We will be taking him off of life support at 9am." Ducky explained.

"There's no chance of coming back from this Ducky?" Danny asked.

"I'm afraid not my dear." Ducky answered.

The doctor came out and shook his head. "I'm so sorry guys, Tonya suffered a massive stroke and didn't pull through."

Jason was completely brain dead by 9 am. They decided to take him off of life support shortly after. Each one of the team members knew he would want to be with his kids. His death was quick after they took him off of the machines.

None of them knew how they were going to explain to Marissa that she lost her whole family in one day. They figured they could tell her after their funerals.


It was hard to see three caskets lined up in front of the church. This time around they didn't know if any of them wanted to say anything.

"Today we remember the lives that were taken to soon. Anthony Jethro DiNozzo Bull, Tonya Deanne DiNozzo Bull and doctor Jason Michael Bull were all called home on August 23. T.J. was studying to become a lawyer at Harvard, Tonya was studying psychology at Harvard with her passion for law enforcement and crime scene investigation. Dr. Jason Bull was the head of TAC. The twins are proceeded in death by their parents Tony DiNozzo and Deanna Carter DiNozzo. Jason is proceeded in death by his fiancée Deanna Carter DiNozzo. The three leave behind a wife and mother Marissa Morgan Bull." The preacher said.

There were pictures of all three of them up in front of their caskets and flowers filled the sanctuary. Benny wished Marissa could be there for this but was still not mentally stable. The death of the twins and Jason had torn TAC apart but also the NCIS team.


When Marissa got word that her family had died and the services already held, she couldn't handle the pain and grief. After she was checked on, she decided to do it. She took her bedsheets and hung them from the ceiling. She stood up in a chair and placed the sheet around her neck. She then kicked the chair out from underneath her. Before anyone could come to help her, she was already gone.
