Tony, Ziva, Tim and Abby were at Tony's apartment watching the movie, "A Few Good Men". Tony invited the whole team over to help celebrate his birthday. They spent the evening comparing characters from the movie to characters from the JAG office they work with. They were almost to Tony's favorite part of the movie when Jack delivers his famous line, "You want the truth, you can't handle the truth."
Right before the line was to be said Tony's cell rang out he looked down at his phone and paused the movie. He picked up the phone and looked at the others and said in his best Jack voice, "Well if it isn't our fearless leader?"
Tony answered the phone and before he could get a word out Gibbs yelled, "Get everyone and get to the office NOW!"
They came out of the elevator arguing about who was better in "A few Good Men".
Tony's favorite of course was Jack. Tony came out of the elevator first saying, "Mcprobie you cant handle the truth". Ziva and McGee followed close behind rolling their eyes at Tony.
Gibbs met them when they were no more than three steps off the Elevator, "Gear up people, we have a report of a dead Navy SEAL, local guys say it appears that he hung himself in plain view of his neighbors."
The three agents ran and grabbed their gear and Tony yelled, "On you six boss" Just like that the team was off.
The team made it to a quiet neighborhood right outside of Base. Just like the tip mentioned, they could easily see the young Navy man hanging from the rafters of his small home in plain view of the window.
They arrived at the scene and were met by local Police. The local officer said, "We saw the guy was Navy so we sectioned off the area and no one has been inside. We wanted to wait until you got here."
Gibbs looked at the obviously frightened young officer and said, "We will take it from here. You and your men keep the neighbors behind those yellow lines."
"Yes Sir" the young Police officer was off to make sure no one bothered the investigation.
Ziva looked at Gibb's and asked, "Boss, do you think that it is strange for a Navy SEAL to kill himself by hanging himself in full view of the entire area?"
Gibbs with a tight-lipped contemplative expression said, "Yes Ziva, I do. Lets be sure to be careful on this one okay?"
No sooner than Gibbs got the words "be careful" out of his mouth, Tony went barreling through the front door. As soon as the door opened the whole area froze as a shotgun blast rang out. Everyone took cover but Tony. The shotgun hit him square in the chest and he was on the ground bleeding out quickly.
Ziva, Gibbs and McGee cleared the house quickly and discovered that the shotgun was rigged to go off as soon as someone opened the door. By the time the three of them came out 'Ducky' had arrived and was attending to Tony's wounds.
Gibbs froze when he saw Tony covered in blood on the ground unconscious. He looked at Ducky and asked, "Is he?"
'Ducky' answered, "No Jethro he is not but if he doesn't get to the hospital soon, he soon will be."
Gibbs knelt down and picked up Tony's hand he was about to say something when the ambulance arrived and took over Tony's care. He was rushed into the waiting ambulance Gibbs looked at his team and yelled, "Process the scene then meet me at the hospital."
Gibbs told the Ambulance driver, "Stay on my six no matter." Gibbs jumped in to his yellow car put his light on the dash and the frightened ambulance driver did as he was told and followed Gibbs as he sped through the D.C neighborhood.
Ziva, McGee and 'Ducky' stood in silence and watched the ambulance speed away. After a minute Ziva brought the others out of their shock, "We have a scene to process and a Navy Seal's death to figure out."
'Ducky' gathered his belongings, "Quit right the best thing we can do for young Tony is to find the person who left that shotgun for him and killed this SEAL."
The body was removed from the scene and sent back to NCIS to be processed. Ziva and McGee began to bag and tag anything that seemed important in the crime scene or should I say scenes since Tony had his own scene on the front porch. McGee gathered up the young mans computers and Ziva went to the living room and on the coffee table was an annual from the Rhode Island Military School for boys. She looked up at McGee and asked, "What school did Tony attend when he had the falling out with his father?"
McGee thought for a moment and said, "Rhode Island Military School for boys I think. Why? "
Ziva looked turned to the picture of 13-year-old Anthony Dinozzo and said, "He went to school with our victim."
At the hospital Gibbs sat straight backed in the hospital chairs waiting for word on Tony. His quiet reflection was interrupted by a loud and panicked, "GIBBS! GIBBS!" He looked around and saw Abby frantically looking for him. He answered, "Right here Abbs."
Abby came running up to Gibbs and gave him a huge hug, "I am so sorry. I came as soon as I heard. How is Tony? What happened? Where is everyone else? Who could have hurt Tony?" She fired off the questions in rapid order.
Gibbs simply placed his index finger on her lips and quietly said, "He is in surgery, they are at the crime scene, I don't know but I WILL find out. The doctor should be out soon to let us know. He wasn't breathing when they brought him in but they revived him and now we wait."
Abby looked at Gibbs with tears in her eyes and just whispered, "Oh Gibbs"
Gibbs pulled her into a hug and patted her back and said, "I know Abbs, I know."
