Dr. Pitts worst fears came back with the lab results. When Tony DiNozzo opened the letter he got the bubonic plague. His daughter had the same luck as her father. She contracted the bubonic plague, however she also had Scarlett Fever on top of it. What did this mean for her? T.J. was fine but the chances of saving Tonya was maybe 15%. As Sebastian tried to find out where this stuff came from he worried about Tonya. He had a major crush on her and wanted to let her know it before it was too late. He ran the white powder to find it was for sure bubonic plague. But where did the Scarlett Fever come from? As they cleared out things from Tonya's desk they brought down a bouquet of flowers. 'Who would send Tonya flowers at work' Sebastian thought. He took a petal and tested it. To his surprise, it was the flowers that had Scarlett Fever on them.
Tonya and T.J. laid in their respective hospital beds. Tonya had started sweating and was starting to get huge whelps all over her body. All T.J. wanted to do was to comfort his sister but he didn't know what to say that would make her feel any better.
"Dad went through the same thing and he was strong enough to pull through this and so are you Tonya." T.J. comforted his sister.
"Yeah but dad didn't try to kill himself before he got this." Tonya said with the coughing beginning to start. She had had colds and even the flu once before but none of it could compare to what she was going through now.
As Dr. Pitt came in to give more fluids, he went over to talk to T.J.
"I can't permit you to stay. There is no cure for your sister. She has the bubonic plague and Scarlett Fever. There's not much hope for her but I can't have you in here possibly catching it too."
"I can't leave her Brad. She's my sister. Even if we have to die together, I am not leaving her side." T.J. said through tears.
Dr. Pitt went on to Tonya and hooked her fluids up.
"So doctor what have I got?" Tonya asked.
"Plague and Scarlett fever." The doctor answered.
"Plague?" Tonya asked as her eyebrows went up.
"Yeah Tonya plague. Because you would be the only person to go and get something from the dark ages." T.J. said.
"Gibbs we need to talk." Ducky said pulling the older agent aside.
"Yeah what is it Duck. How are the twins?" Gibbs asked very worried.
"T.J. is fine but he is refusing to leave. Tonya has the bubonic plague and Scarlett Fever." Ducky said.
"Dammit DiNozzo. You have to be just like your father don't you. Sebastian what does that note say?"
"Well boss I didn't want to get it out and possibly contaminate….."
"Sebastian NOW!" Gibbs screamed.
"Yes boss." Sebastian said getting the letter out to where he could read it. "If you are reading this letter and you have not started emergency procedures, I suggest you do that now. This strain of bubonic plague has been genetically altered to where it does not have a suicide gene. I hope you guys enjoy the Scarlett fever flowers that I have also sent. There could possibly be an antidote, but first you have to prove that the people in the case 57331 is innocent."
"McGee look up that case file." Gibbs spat.
"On it boss." McGee said.
"Do you think we should call in Jason and Marissa?" Kate asked.
"I think we should before Tonya goes and has her meeting with Deanna and Tony." Gibbs said. The older agent rubbed his face. They had already had too many close calls with Tonya he wasn't about to lose her to something so petty.
Jason and Marissa were sitting in the TAC office when Jason's phone rang. He seen Gibbs familiar number pop up.
"Excuse me for a second." Bull said getting up and walking out of the conference room.
"Hey Gibbs what's up."
"Jason you need to get down here to D.C. NOW!" Gibbs spat.
"Gibbs what's wrong with the twins?"
"Tonya opened a letter that contained the bubonic plague. She was also sent flowers that contained Scarlett Fever. She is over at Bethesda now. T.J. is with her in isolation. He is refusing to leave her side."
"I'm on my way."
Jason walked back into the conference room with a worried look on his face. The team could tell something was up. Their boss never looked this lost.
"I am on the next plane to D.C. Tonya is in the hospital. She has contracted the bubonic plague and Scarlett Fever." Jason said trying to keep his emotions hidden. Marissa who was normally the strong one in their family broke down and started crying. She couldn't stand the thought of another round with Tonya. She just hoped that the stress of all this wouldn't cause Jason another heart attack and lose him too.
"I don't know how long I will be gone but I will be back after my baby girl gets out of the hospital." Jason said. With that he turned and went to his desk to get his things.
The coughing was getting worse for Tonya and the whelps on her body had spread from her head all the way down to her feet. There wasn't an inch of her body that didn't have a huge red swollen whelp on it.
"Tonya I need you to sit up so we can do some x-rays." Dr. Pitt said.
"Maybe T.J. can do it for me. He has stronger lungs." Tonya joked before another wave of coughing took over. This time she was starting to cough of blood. Dr. Pitt set her up with some oxygen that seemed to help but she was still having violent coughing fits and coughing up blood.
As the team set out in the waiting room, they waited for any word on Tonya. As they sat there with no noise except for the blare of the television in the background that was on a news channel, Jason and Marissa showed up. It was clear that Marissa had cried the whole way to the hospital. Jason was in shock over the news. He couldn't believe that they were having another scare with Tonya's health.
"Why the hell would she open a letter with the bubonic plague in it?" Jason spat.
"She is her father's daughter." Kate smirked.
McGee was able to find the case file. To his surprise it was Abby and Ziva's case saying that they tampered with evidence to make Deanna guilty. Why would they wait 17 years later to pull something or to even try and get justice? He grabbed his phone and called Gibbs who was at the hospital waiting on information about Tonya.
"Gibbs" Gibbs answered his phone.
"Boss, how is Tonya?" McGee asked.
"We don't have any new information. We are still waiting for them to come out and tell us how she is. What did you find McGee."
"You will never believe whose case this is!" McGee could barely hold in his anger. "It's Abby and Ziva's case file."
"McGee please tell me your wrong."
"No boss. It's the case number that was on the letter. That means they were both in on this and was trying to get Tonya out of NCIS just like they tried to get Deanna out."
Gibbs rubbed his face. He couldn't believe that the two was still willing to cause trouble many years later.
"Good work McGee. Come on down to the hospital if you would like."
Gibbs hung up the phone and went back over to the team and the Bull's.
"The case number was Abby and Ziva's. They are the ones behind the attack." Gibbs said.
Jason couldn't believe it. They tried to take Deanna away from him and now they are trying to claim his daughter as well.
"Son of a bitch! There seriously back at it? What do they have against the DiNozzo family?" Jason said. To say he was pissed was an understatement.
Sebastian sat in the waiting room wishing he could have a chance with Tonya. But with every passing moment he felt that chance slipping away. Palmer sat across from him, daydreaming about the sex he had with Tonya down in autopsy. How he wished he could have a relationship with her and call her his. He feared the next time the two of them were in autopsy it wouldn't be to have sex but for him to actually do an autopsy on her.
The x-ray came back and the results didn't look good. Ducky was allowed to go back and talk to Dr. Pitt. As the two doctors looked at the x-rays it reminded Ducky of Tony's results.
"It looks like pneumonia" Ducky expressed.
"Worse I'm afraid. She's showing signs of cyanosis. Her finger nails and lips are going blue." Dr. Pitt said sadly.
"The y-pestis is starving her body of oxygen. It's to late to reverse...isn't it?" Ducky said trying to keep in his tears.
"It's never too late."
"Until I get the body."
They looked in on Tonya who was violently coughing with blood spilling from her mouth. It was hard for T.J. to watch his sister struggle for life.
Ducky walked out to the team and Jason was the first one to run up to the older doctor.
"How is she Ducky?" Jason worried.
"It doesn't look good Jason."
"Please let me go back there and be with her."
"Jason I can't permit you to go back there. She is still very contagious."
"I am her father!" Jason spat "I promised her mother I would take care of her and I'll be damned if I am going to leave her in her weakest moment." He walked over to Gibbs and got up in his face. Jason Bull was normally very calm, but when it came to his daughter blood or not it got him riled up. "I think it was all a mistake for her to come and work for you. If she wasn't working at NCIS none of this would have happened."
Gibbs shook his head. "She is Tony's daughter. She has that curious side to her. I can't keep her from being just like her father."
Will the team be able to track down Abby and Ziva? Will any of the team be allowed to go back and say anything to Tonya? Will she be like her father and survive this or will she be joining her Mother and Father? New Chapter up soon! Please Review!
