A/N *Throws a party* I passed my nursing classes and my State Boards. I should have more time to write now, so should get updates out more often. P.S. I can't do the accents justice so just use your imagination J.

After Mickey had calmed down he slowly sat back, and looked at Jack. "Sorry, seems like I always end up crying on your shoulder about my troubles." he wiped his eyes.

Jack looked at him, Mickey's eyes were red, and his face was streaked with tears. He shook his head. "I don't mind Mickey, I care about troubles and all." he smiled gently at Mickey "Now why don't you go wash your face before the others come back." Mickey nodded, and started to move toward the door, then stopped and turned back toward Jack. "Sometimes I feel so ashamed and dirty. I know I shouldn't but I can't help myself." his eyes glistened with tears. "Every time I think things are getting better something happens and it all gets thrown in my face again."

"Whenever you start getting these thoughts Mickey, come to me. I'm here for you. I don't care if it's at CID or at home, you know my door is always open for you at the nick, and have my mobile number if its after hours." Mickey smiled.

"Thanks Guv, I appreciate the offer. Now I better go wash up."

After Mickey left, Jack went in search of the NCIS agents. He found Agents Gibbs and McGee sitting in the bullpen. He looked at Jethro. "As you can imagine, this is very hard for DC Webb." Jack commented, giving Jethro a hard look. "Dredging up these memories. I hope that your agents can be counted on for discretion." Gibbs nodded.

"I have already talked to my team. Nothing that was said in there will leave this immediate group."

Jack nodded and turned to head back to the conference room but paused. "One other thing, Mickey doesn't need them treating him any different than they did before they knew. He's had enough trouble with that at home." Fact was that was partially why he left Sun Hill in the first place, Jack thought to himself. Gibbs just nodded again, then motioned for Jack to follow him to the conference room.

Mickey stood at the sink and splashed water on his face. He had a sense of Déjà vu as he looked at his red eyed face in the mirror. Just then the door opened and in walked Agent Anthony DiNozzo.

Tony looked surprised at first, then simply made his way over to the urinal. As Mickey used some paper towels to dry his face the door opened again.

"Tony, I need to talk to you about…" Ziva's sentence trailed off as she noticed that there was another occupant in the men's room. Tony looked exasperated.

" Ziva how many times have I told you to stop following me into the bathroom?"

"Does she do this often?" Mickey asked, glancing at Tony. Tony zipped his pants, then turned around. "Fairly often actually. It's kinda messed up that a guy can't even use the bathroom without being followed." He looked pointedly at Ziva. She just rolled her eyes.

"That's because you come in here to get away from me, and I know it."

Ignoring her comment, Tony made his way to the sink and washed his hands. "Mickey, do you want to walk back together, or did you need some more time? I know we kind of interrupted you here." Tony asked.

Mickey gave a weak smile, "I think I'll be fine now. We can go back together."

By this point Ziva had figured out that Tony was going to ignore her.

"Tony darling, do I need to remind you of the many different ways I can kill you if you continue to ignore me?" she asked sweetly. Tony paled, and turned to her "No scary mossad ninja, no reminder necessary. What did you need to talk about."

"The case." she looked at Mickey "Are you okay with me talking about it or should we go somewhere else?"

"It's okay, besides I had a bit more to tell you guys as well. Why don't we all just go upstairs and talk in the conference room."

They all agreed and made their way quickly back. Gibbs looked at Tony and Ziva "I thought I told you to stay put till I called you?" realizing their mistake Tony and Ziva tried to explain but Gibbs just ordered them to sit down. He reached for the phone and called for the others to come up.

When they arrived Abby was the first to make a move. "Can I hug you please?" she asked Mickey, then preceded to do so without waiting for permission. The DC was surprised but eventually managed to untangle himself from her arms. As he did so he noticed Agent McGee glowering at him jealously. Tony spoke up "Abbs let him breathe we need him still." immediately she let go "Sorry. Sorry."

" Back to where I left off." Mickey said once he caught his breath. "I eventually caught Delaney after learning about his relationship to Trevor Macon. He was waiting, wanting to attack Macon, but he hadn't because he was afraid of the dog Macon was walking. Because of this he was caught, and tried for assault and rape." Mickey swallowed hard remembering the trial.

"I'm confused " Ziva spoke up "I thought he was in prison for murder."

"He was, but we were unable to prove the murder until after he broke out the first time." Jack interjected.

"You mean he's broken out before?" McGee clarified.

"Yes." Mickey explained " Delaney had originally buried the body of Eddie McGowan in his Mum's flower bed, but she died while he was in prison, and he broke out in order to move the body before the house was sold. He also made threats toward me and broke into my flat. Which is where he was nicked the second time."

"Nicked?" Ziva questioned.

"Arrested." Mickey explained smiling.

"Ziva?" Tony questioned as a thought occurred to him. "Wasn't Ari from Britain?"

"Yes, but he never talked about things like prostitutes or arresting people." Ziva defended. She was half way surprised that Tony would even bring it up.

"Who's Ari? Mickey asked now he was confused.

"My brother." Ziva explained.

"Wait, but I thought Tony said you were Mossad?"

"I was, its complicated." Ziva retorted sharply. She really didn't want to get into her personal history with a total stranger. The thought made her soften as she realized that Mickey had done just that with a room full of strangers.

"Anyway," she said "What insight can you give us on Delaney?"

"Guv?" Mickey turned to Jack "Do you want to sum up?"

"Sure, basically what we know from our encounters with Delaney is his weaknesses are prostitutes and revenge. He should be considered very dangerous at all times no one should go after him alone. Call for back up and wait for it to get there. He will do anything to get away. Up to and including, assault, rape, and murder." Jack told them seriously.

"Guv, I just remembered something." Mickey interrupted, "Delaney's Mum had a picture of them in New York on holiday."

"Good work Mickey." Jack turned to Gibbs "is there someone who can look up property records to see if the Delaney's owned property around here?"

Gibbs nodded toward McGee do your thing McGee."

"Yes boss." McGee said and hurried out to the bullpen and his computer.

"See McGeek did come in handy after all." Tony remarked to no one in particular.
