Gibbs felt his body shake from a combination of rage and fear. He just wanted to rip CI Ray's head off and turn it inside out. He had already pressed Gibbs' buttons when he attacked Tony in the store but this burning down a woman's home and leaving his son deathly ill. Then attacking Jimmy, taking Breena and doing God only knows what to her. All because she said that she wanted to testify against him. If he killed her. Jimmy would lose the love of his life the same way that he had lost his and if Tony died Jack would be left orphaned. Dr. Pitt had allowed him to sit by his son's side. For what may end up being his final moments.
"Tony everything is falling apart. Please I know you hurt and I know it's hard but just keep fighting. We will get you the transplant you need and I will take care of you until you are back on your feet." Gibbs begged.
The first thing Jimmy noticed when he opened his eyes was the bright light shinning in his face. The next thing he noticed was the almost unbearable pain in his head. The last thing he remembered was sitting in Tony's room telling him about Ziva and Jack. As far as he knew he had been fine. What had happened to land him in the hospital? Was Tony OK? Why wasn't Breena with him? Had he done something to make her mad? Why else wouldn't she be in his hospital room? He didn't expect Gibbs, Abby, or anyone else of his team to be there but Breena that was wrong. At least his boss and mentor was by his side.
"Oh excellent you are awake." Ducky said.
"Head hurts." Jimmy moaned.
"Well it should you took a nasty hit to the head. Raymond Cruz hit you over the head with his gun barrel. I guess you weren't worth it to kill but he wanted you indisposed." Ducky explained.
"How long was I out?" Jimmy asked.
"Just over twenty-four hours. There was some swelling in your brain but it had gone down this morning and you were awake for a short time early this morning. I am also pleased that you don't appear to be showing any signs of brain damage. I am sure that you will experience some short-term memory loss but that will hopefully just be temporary." Ducky explained.
"Where's Breena?" Jimmy asked.
"Oh" Ducky sighed.
"What? Is she mad at me?" Jimmy asked.
"She is not mad at you. She would never be angry enough not to be by your side in the hospital." Ducky assured.
"Then where is she?" Jimmy asked.
"I am so sorry Jimmy but she was abducted from your apartment early this morning. We believe that Ray has her. She was under the protection of Agent Cortez but he was found bound and gagged in a chair. He is lucky to only have a concussion and some vanity defensive wounds. He feels terrible about what happened and will more than likely barrage you with apologies. When he learns that you are awake." Ducky explained.
"Why would Ray kidnap Breena?" Jimmy asked.
"She told Leon that she wanted to testify against Ray for attacking you and burning Emily's house. Jethro is badly shaken with memories of Shannon from this. It is lucky that he is out of the field until Anthony has recovered." Ducky explained.
"How's Tony?" Jimmy asked.
"He needs a lung transplant and is not doing well." Ducky explained.
"Oh man poor Tony." Jimmy replied.
"Yes" Ducky replied.
"I just this is all too much." Jimmy replied.
"You just took in a lot. How about you close your eyes for a bit and I will be here when you wake up again." Ducky explained.
"I can't sleep. I need Breena." Jimmy replied.
"Oh Mr. Palmer we will find her." Ducky assured.
"He probably killed her! He is like the worst person in the world`' Jimmy cried.
Emily pulled herself out of McGee's car. He had rushed around and was helping her with her crutches. He had offered to walk her inside but she refused. The less chaos she caused when she walked in the better. She had broken her ankle when she fell. After Ray pushed her that is. She was hoping just to slip in and avoid any questions from her kids. She already had so many to answer. What was going on with Tony, what had happened to their house, how long they would be staying with Gibbs. Now she had to explain her injury on top of all that. At least her mom had been willing to drive Dylan and Carly to Gibbs's house and wait with them until she got home. She took one last deep breath before opening the door and limping inside.
"Mommy!" Carly cried.
"Hi mom. What happened to you?" Dylan asked voice laced with concern.
"I fell at the hospital while I was visiting Tony." Emily explained.
"Will you be OK?" Carly asked.
"I will be just fine in a few weeks." Emily assured.
"How is Tony?" Dylan asked.
"Very sick the fire really damaged his lungs. We need to pray for him." Emily explained.
"Is he going to die?" Carly asked.
"I am so sorry but he might." Emily replied.
"But he's such a nice guy and he saved Carly!" Dylan cried.
"I know he is but sometimes it doesn't matter. I don't want you to blame yourself Carly. this is the fault of the man who started the fire not you." Emily explained.
"Is the bad guy at least in jail?" Carly asked.
"No" Emily replied.
"He should be!" Dylan yelled.
"NCIS is looking for him." Emily explained.
"Can we go visit Tony?" Carly asked.
"Yeah I want to thank him for saving my sister." Dylan added.
"You have to be sixteen to get into the ICU." Emily explained.
"You can sneak us in." Emily offered.
"No there is really tight security around Tony's room because he was threatened him again." Emily replied.
Breena made herself as small as possible and prayed that she would just disappear. CIRay wax putting her through hell and she just wanted it to be over. The worst part of all this was not knowing if Jimmy was OK or not. What if after all of this she found out that he was dead? What if he had woken up while she was in this hell hole?
"Oh you're awake. You're really stupid to keep waking up." Ray taunted.
"You could kill me and I would never wake up again." Breena sobbed.
"Yes but killing you outright wouldn't be any fun for me. Now watching you suffer and beg for death I feel like a kid on Christmas morning." Ray explained.
"What happened to make you so cruel?" Breena asked.
"The love of my life left me for some disgusting Italian baby." Ray replied.
"Tony is a nice guy and unlike you he really cared for Tony." Breena argued.
"Bad move bitch!" Ray barked picking Breena up and tossing her across the room.
"No" Breena sobbed before the darkness overtook her once again.
