"Tony, are we really free?" Jasmine asked.

"If he is really dead, then yes we are free. But I have my doubts." Tony answered.

"DiNozzo, my men gave me confirmation. He was killed in a drunk driving accident." Fornell reassured.

"We'll see. I won't believe it until I see a body and even then I still have my doubts. Have Abby run a DNA Test. I need to know for peace of mind, mine as well as Jasmine's."

"If it will calm your fears, then you know she will do it. She would do anything for you, you know that." Gibbs told him.

"Is he the cause of yours and Jasmine injuries?" Fornell asked gently. He has dealt with children who have been abused, it doesn't make a bit of difference that this time he is dealing with an adult who happens to be a Federal Agent.

"I can only do this once, so you might as well get the others in here. I know they have been keeping their distance, giving me space." Tony answered unsure if he could really do this.

Gibbs left to get Ziva, McGee and Abby. Ducky, Palmer and Brad continue to treat Tony. Tony looked over at his sister watching him carefully.

"Ducky will you take Jasmine into your office and let her rest." Tony asked.

"Of course, come on my dear."

"No Tony, I want to stay with you." Jasmine begged.

"Jazzy it will be okay. You will be in there, I will be right here. Take the Princesses with you, they will keep you company. Don't worry about anything, leave everything to me." Tony answered giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Ducky picked up the two dolls and walked Jasmine to his office. As Ducky closed the door to his office, the door to autopsy opened. Gibbs was back with the company.

"So Tony start at the beginning." Fornell stated.

Tony took a deep breath and looked down. He wasn't going to look anyone in the eye as he told his story. "Three weeks ago, I was at the grocery store when I saw Him. I kept an eye on him while trying to avoid him. He had Jasmine with him. I saw him hit her for no other reason than the fact that she had stopped to tie her shoes. In that moment I decided that I will do whatever it takes to protect her. I drew his anger on to me. I always made sure she was safe from him, that he couldn't turn on her after he was though with me. I will not let him make her life the same living hell that he made mine. I am her big brother; it is my job to protect her."

"Why didn't you ask anyone for help?" Fornell asked.

"When I was a child, anyone who tried to help me was paid off or went away. Afterwards thing would be that much worse for me. Any evidence against him just disappeared. He always said that he wasn't doing anything wrong, that the law is on his side. That I was the one to blame for all this. I was a child, I believed him. Even when he disowned me and threw me out, I believed that it was my fault."

"He told me if I didn't like the way things were, I could leave. But that Jasmine was his property and wasn't going anywhere. I knew that Gibbs and the rest of you would do whatever you can to try to protect me and Jasmine. But when it failed and it would, he wouldn't let me near Jasmine anymore. She would be the one to suffer."

Everyone just listened. Their hearts ached for their friend who had been through hell with no way out. But they would help him now. They will be there for Tony and Jasmine. They will let him know that he is their friend and that they love him. Gibbs was glad that Senior was dead or he would kill him himself for the way he treated a wonderful person like Tony.

Everyone except Brad, Ducky and Gibbs left autopsy. Gibbs was going to stay by his Agent's side. Jasmine continued to sleep in Ducky's office.

"Tony, I want you and Jasmine to come home with me." Gibbs offered.

Tony didn't answer. Everything happened so fast. He is very confused and scared. He hasn't had his mask up since this whole thing started.

"I think that is a great idea actually, especially if we can't convince him to go to the hospital. Also Ducky can keep an eye on your lungs." Brad piped up.

Tony reluctantly nodded. He knew that they weren't going to be giving him much of a choice and it is better for Jasmine this way.

"Alright I will get you a wheelchair, a motorized one." Brad told Tony.

"I don't need a wheelchair." Tony protested.

"You don't need to be up and around at all. You will be in a wheelchair until your ribs are healed. We don't want to risk a broken rib puncturing a lung." Brad answered in a voice that meant business.

Tony agreed. A wheelchair and for who knows how long, what else could possibly go wrong.

"I will be back in an hour or two. He should rest until then." Brad announced as he left to get the wheelchair.

Tony watched him go, he tried to stay awake. Gibbs could tell that Tony was fighting to stay awake.

"It's all right Tony. Sleep. I got your six."

Tony finally closed his eyes and gave into the exhaustion.

Gibbs stayed watching his agent sleep. He answered his ringing phone on the first ring. He didn't want to risk it waking up Tony.

"Gibbs."

"It's McGee, we got trouble."

The last thing they needed right now was more trouble.

"What now?" He grumbled.

"Social Services is here and they want Jasmine Ariel Murphy. They are ordering that we turn her over to them."
