Gibbs was filled with a white-hot rage. Ray Cruz the man who had broken Ziver's heart was back and now he had attacked Tony. He had half a mind to yell at the kid who was holding Jack for not only not helping the unconscious man but also allowing a physical attack to happen in his store. It wasn't his fault though he was working on the register and there was no way he could see him from there. As for not helping Tony. He would deal with that later. Right now his biggest priority was Tony.
"Are you sure it was Ray?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah I saw him on my way down." Tony replied.
"Alright. Now you." Gibbs told the kid.
"What is it sir?" The kid asked.
"Did you at least call 911?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes sir." The kid replied.
"Good I will have Palmer come and get Jack while we are at the hospital" Gibbs said.
"Please don't make me go to the hospital." Tony begged.
"I kind of didn't say I needed an ambulance." The kid replied nervously.
"You mean there was an unconscious man on your floor and you didn't bother to call an ambulance?!" Gibbs demanded.
"He was awake when I called and he begged me not to call for one." The kid replied.
"Oh really?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes sir" Tony sighed.
"Well then I will drive you and you will get checked out." Gibbs ordered.
"Yes sir" Tony replied.
Adam Eshel watched the scene unfold from the next aisle over. He had to get out before the cops arrived and if he didn't he would have to play innocent and act like he hadn't seen anything. Otherwise everything could end up falling apart. His wish to take down Agent DiNozzo had been building inside him. Ever since Ziva was back home for Eli's funeral. The way she talked about him like he was some kind of super hero. She had sworn that she would always love him and then that Tony came into the picture. At least when she was with Ray she was with somebody Eli would like. Adam knew that Eli had despised Tony and the fact that she would brag about him at his funeral like that. Then come back months later carrying his child. It was when he found the positive pregnancy test that he realized how much of a whore she was. When he told Ray to take her down he didn't think that it would got that far but it did and now they had to take Tony down to save themselves. Luckily they had the perfect plan. They just had to watch their back's and make sure that everything was in place before they brought in the authorities. Soon though very soon it would happen and Tony DiNozzo would be out of the picture and Adam would be raising his son. The son that should have been his in the first place. He had only had that stupid procedure because Ziva did not want kids. At least that's what she said to get him to put on a condom.
After giving their accounts of what happened to the police. Gibbs drove Tony to the hospital. The whole way there Tony insisted that he was fine. Gibbs was on the brink of tying Tony down in the backseat. When they arrived at Bethesda. There was no-way he was going to risk his son's health and well-being. Which was also why he chose Bethesda. Even though he was sure that Tony's lungs were fine. Bethesda was where Tony had battled the plague and as a result every staff member who stepped foot in that place from doctors down to dietary aides. Were warned of the one called Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He knew if he took Tony there he would get respect.
"Ah Jethro you're looking well. What is wrong with Tony now?" The receptionist asked.
"Attacked in the grocery store. Possible concussion." Gibbs grunted.
"Alright well have him fill this out if he can. If not as his medical proxy you do it and somebody will be out soon to take him for a scan." The receptionist replied.
"I can do it!" Tony growled.
"Aw who's this?" The receptionist asked noticing Jack for the first time.
"My son Lior Jackson." Tony replied.
"He's beautiful." The receptionist replied.
"I swear they probably owe you a free MRI by now." Gibbs said as Tony filled out his paperwork.
"If only they used a punch card system." Tony replied.
"I know the cops already asked you this but any idea why Ray would attack you?" Gibbs asked.
"I don't know." Tony replied.
"Had he contacted Ziver any since they broke up?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah once after she had to get a new phone and number." Tony replied.
"When was that?" Gibbs asked.
"Remember her phone was destroyed in the Dearing attack?" Tony questioned.
"Oh yeah. Sorry I've smashed ten phones since then. So I lost track." Gibbs explained.
"It's alright Boss." Tony assured.
McGee was furious he could not believe he had been transferred to cyber. Just because Tony was such a whiny little baby and Gibbs liked him better. He thought that at least Vance would take his side but he was just as bad as Gibbs. Part of him wanted to quit the agency and take a job with the Department of Defense. Delilah had said that she could put in a good word for him if he ever wanted to transfer. Except he actually loved working at NCIS. The only thing he hated was Tony and he doubted that Dr. Cranston would help. He couldn't even figure out when and why these feelings started. He stepped out on to his balcony and looked up at the sky. A shooting star whizzed past and McGee was reminded of when he was a kid and actually believed that if you wished on one it would come true. All because he wished for any excuse to get out of the Geography test he hadn't studied for and his mom's car died and she spent the whole morning at the mechanics. By the time he got to school the test was over and the teacher took pity on him and let him take it the next day. Of course now he knew it was just a coincidence but still from time to time he would make a wish. Just for fun.
"I wish something terrible would happen to Tony." McGee whispered. To him Ziva dying was not something terrible because he did not really love her.
A/N: I know McGee sounds terrible but he will come to his senses soon enough. I don't even know why he is acting like this yet. New chapter should be up Friday and Jimmy will explain himself to Tony. Please review and thanks for reading.
