"Tony? Hey, it's alright. Don't worry about her." Emma pulled Tony into a hug. "The jury is on your side. Even Max's lawyer is on your side."

"It's not that, Emma. She's right. What if they aren't the ones?"

"Trust me, they are. Max looked like he wanted to admit right then and there what he did to you."

"Then why doesn't he?"

"Probably because he thinks he has a better chance to get less time like this."

Tony snorted. "Not likely."

"What are you doing tomorrow?"

"I have a therapy session. I was going to bring Abby with me so Adam can meet her. He thinks she going to be all girly."

It was Emma's turn to laugh. "Well, he won't be getting what he's expecting then."

"No. But he'll love her, just like everyone else does."

"Of course he will. Now, do you want me to come? The session starts at two, right?"

"Yes. I finish at four."

"Alright. I finish three thirty tomorrow, so how about I meet you down there? I can pick you up at lunch time if Abby doesn't bring you, we can have lunch, then you can go to the gym and I'll head back up to wherever I'm working tomorrow."

"Abby's going to meet me there at three. She's coming straight from work. So, yeah, we can have lunch."

"Are you going to be here tomorrow?"

"Yes. Brad's here in the morning to testify, so I want to be here."

"Alright. I'll be here at twelve to pick you up, we'll go get lunch somewhere, then go off to the hospital. If it's early, you can come up to the ward with me. Mary should be on tomorrow. She'll let you sit in the staff lounge, and if it's quiet, you'll be able to sit with me at the desk for a while."

Tony grinned. "I knew I liked Mary for a reason."

That afternoon, Bishop was on the stand. Tony watched as she sat down after being sworn in and looked right at Bud. She didn't seem nervous at all.

Probably because she isn't the one that was attacked, thought Tony with a quiet sigh.

Emma was sitting with him now, and she reached over to hold his hand. She gave it a gentle squeeze to reassure him, and it helped Tony to calm down.

"Agent Bishop," said Bud, "you were the one to accompany Mr Johnson back to DC, is that correct?"

"Yes."

"Are you one of the agents that interrogated him?"

"No. I watched the interrogation, but I was not one of the people that interrogated him."

"Why did you accompany him back then?"

"Because my boss asked me to. He was staying to oversee the third interrogation and needed someone to be here in DC just in case Tony woke up."

"On the way back here, did Mr Johnson say anything to you?"

"No. In fact, the only words that ever came out of his mouth in the five hours we spent on the plane were for a drink of water."

"What about when you landed and took him to a holding cell?"

"Still, he didn't say anything."

"Has he spoken in the time since then?"

"Not to me, and not when I've been able to hear."

"Okay. One last question. When you found Tony, was Mr Johnson or Ms Keller there?"

"Both were there."

"Thank you." Bud sat in his chair and watched as Fields got up.

"Agent Bishop, you said you watched the interrogation. Did my client ever admit to hurting Agent DiNozzo?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"About twenty minutes into the interrogation."

"What was said before that?"

"Sorry?"

"Can you tell me what was said before my client admitted to hurting a federal agent?"

"Yes. Agent McGee said that if Mr Johnson wanted a lawyer, to say so. He hadn't asked for anything or said anything since being arrested, and Agent McGee wanted to make sure that he understood his rights."

"Was there any mention of Agent DiNozzo?"

"Absolutely not."

"Nothing further your honour." Fields sat down.

"No questions for this witness," Willis stated.

Bishop stepped out of the witness box and went to sit with Tony and Emma.

"Commander, call your next witness."

"Your honour, our next witness is a doctor, and he is unavailable until tomorrow morning. We request a recess until then," said Bud.

"What time tomorrow morning?"

"Nine am."

"Okay. Court is adjourned until nine am. Court dismissed."
