One Hour Later
I glanced over from my workout to see Tony standing in the doorway. I asked him if everything was ready. He told me everything except the shotgun and the sniper-riffle were packed up. Then i glanced out the door and saw the marine standing there. "What do you think of him" I asked. Tony said he wasn't sure if he trusted him but he reminded him of Gibbs. I just laughed and said next you're going to be calling him" boss". I realized that was the first time I'd laughed since i got shot. I went back to my exercises. I did another set of one hundred push-ups and 50 pull-ups. Then I went out to talk to the guys. When I walked into the living room i saw the marine from the back and realized that Tony was right, he did look an awful lot like Gibbs. Then I realized why, they both had the same look of pure emptiness. The same look I have. The look of a cold-blooded killer. I told Tony to go check the back stairs before we left. Once Tony left, I turned to the marine and said " Tell me the truth. You were sent here to kill my sister before i could not get me out of here before the strike force arrived weren't you?" His response was to nod yes. I asked who had really sent him. His response shocked me to my core. He said one word but it was all I needed to hear. "Abbah". I instantly knew that he meant my father which meant he knew more than I told him. Which meant he knew more before I called him or else he wouldn't have sent an assassin just yet. I told him to take a message to my father and leave now before I killed him and that since he knew who I was, he knew I was quite capable of doing just that In around 30 seconds he was gone and Tony walked back into the room. He asked me why he needed to leave for that. I told him that if my suspicions had been correct which they were, he would be more open without an outsider present.
