After a while they fell asleep when they came down from the adrenaline high. Tobias let them sleep for a few hours as they got their safe house ready. They wanted to let them rest for as long as possible so they could relax. Usually they would sleep with their guards up but they were able to relax. They knew they were safest in the building and with Tobias present. Everyone but Gibbs woke up three hours later at 1 in the morning. They shared a smile with Tobias as Gibbs shifted unto his left, facing the couch, with a snort. Abby ran her fingers through Gibbs high and tight, short hair.
"Is he okay?" Tobias asked with a worried frown.
"Yeah, it's just he was really worried about us." He nodded with a knowing smirk.
"I think he just needs some good sleep." Jimmy said.
"Yeah he does." Ducky agreed.
They sat silently reading and listening to music through headsets. They saw him shift unto his back three hours later. They set their books and newspaper down. He tiredly blinked his eyes open and stretched flinching slightly as the movement pulled at his stitches. He carefully sat up turning around to put his feet down on the floor yawning.
"You awake?" Tony asked smirking.
"Yeah." He grunted. Abby handed him one of his pain pills. He took them after he lost the star down, do to her puppy dog face, they others smiled at him and he glared without any real heat.
"You guys hungry?" Tobias asked.
"Yeah, I could eat" Tony said.
"You are always able to eat, DiNutzo." He responded with a smirk, getting a fake indignant face and frown.
"Why don't you go to the diner?" Gibbs said.
Tobias left and went to get their food. He was gone for about an hour and a half. He walked back into his office with the take out boxes. He passed out their food and sat down at his desk with his breakfast.
"Bacon, ham, and sausage omelets, sides of hash with gravy, fruit, and bacon" He passed out breakfasts.
They all took their food and dug in to their food. They knew Lainey would send them a treat and she did. She sent them cinnamon rolls with glaze. They ate very well, each having three rolls. Even exhausted they made sure to be completely full by the end of it.
"We have your safe house set up, that's what took me the half hour."
"Okay when do we leave?" Gibbs said.
"We'll leave within an hour. The safe house is set up exactly the same. So you'll end up having the same room set up." Tobias said.
"Easy enough" Tony said.
"Better to have something slightly familiar." Jimmy said.
"it may be of slight help." Ducky said.
They drove off to go to the safe house, an hour later. They drove for just over three hours to get to their safe house. They walked in and dropped down into their chairs and couches. They were exhausted and also terribly worried.
"Is it even worth it to eat?" Tony asked getting smirks as they relaxed deeply into the cushions.
"We should." Gives says shrugging unconvincingly, getting grunts.
"Why don't I get you pizzas, same as last time?" Tobias said as he stood by the t.v. and turned it on.
"That actually does sound good" Ellie said and everyone nodded, shrugging slightly.
Tobias left to get their pizza because they didn't want to risk their lives like before. Their pizza arrived with and they ate. They ate slowly because they were terribly tired. They went to bed early, at 7, being completely exhausted. They all slept horrible and very restless. They had terrible nightmares, of someone getting hurt horribly or worse. They also kept waking up after a half hour or one and a half. They couldn't settle do to the terrifying events of that day. They were skeptically hopeful that tomorrow would end up being better than the bad day they had been through. Their only wish was that everyone would be safe and sound; they only wanted to be able to relax as a family. They wanted to get back to their usual lives.
