Chapter Text
Rene Benoit sat in his hotel room and waited for his right hand man to return.
He picked up a photo of his daughter and looked fondly at it remembering how she was before DiNozzo became a part of her life.
He looked at the photos of Jain-Luca, he could see his daughter in him, in the shape of the boy's face and his hair, if it were not for the fact he had his fathers eyes the boy would be perfect.
The phone rang and he picked it up, "Benoit." He said and listened to the voice on the other end.
"Well, Kort isn't up to the job. You will be my back up, let me know when you want to get the boy, remember he must not be harmed," Rene put the phone down.
Soon he would have his grandson with him and he would become the next head of his dynasty, Rene had a sly thought wouldn't it be good if in the future the boy could learn to hate his father with such a passion that he would kill him, that would in Rene's opinion become the ultimate of ironies.
Rene leant back in his chair and smiled at the revenge he had planned on his son in law.
Two days of being cooped in the safe house was starting to drive Tony crazy, he wanted to be able to get out find Rene sort him out and get his life back.
Even Luca was starting to play up not being able to go to kindergarten and see his new friends. Noemi kept him as entertained as she could but coming upstairs and finding him, drawing all over the walls of the safe house was the last straw.
"Mr. Tony, he needs to get out and run off some nervous energy," She said exasperated.
Tony agreed with her but he was not sure where they could go that was safe.
"There's an indoor play area not too far from here," Gibbs said "Luca should be safe there."
"Ok we'll go." Tony said as Luca leapt at him and hugged him, "YAY!" The little boy beamed and gave his father a huge smile. Tony grinned and rolled his eyes "Come on then Luca, get your bag ready," he said as his son ran off to his room to find Noemi and get his bag packed.
Gibbs smiled at the two of them interacting; he remembered how much of a handful Kelly had been at that age and found himself reminiscing.
"You want Ziva and me there as well?" McGee asked
"No, you guys should get some down time, I'll go with DiNozzo." Gibbs said knowing how tired the other two were from the night before.
Luca ran to Gibbs and hugged his leg, "You coming too Boss?" He asked.
Gibbs looked at him and raised an eyebrow as Tony laughed.
The checked the place out as Luca ran off to play with the other kids. They did not notice the black SUV that parked up in the corner of the parking lot as they went in.
Luca immediately ran off and made friends with another little boy playing on the huge indoor climbing frame the slides and bright colored padding attracting the small boy.
Tony got Gibbs a coffee and sat over on the parents' area where he could watch his son play happily.
"He really is a credit to you," Gibbs said.
"Thanks, Look I know I should have told you and I know we need to get past everything at work, but for me it's hard. It took a long time for me to let Jeanne in as much as I did. Boss, it isn't easy for me you know."
Gibbs understood how hard it was for Tony to let anyone near his heart. Tony had confided in him years ago, before the rot had set in, about his upbringing and how hard trying to love and be loved by his father as a child had been.
"I do get it DiNozzo, I just hope we can get there," Gibbs said as Tony nodded.
"Good grief!" Tony exclaimed as he looked over to see his son hanging upside down from the monkey bars, Protective padding or not it looked like the younger DiNozzo would be spending as much time in the emergency room as his father if he wasn't careful.
Tony went over and picked him up; he was unhurt and grinned at his father and ran off.
"We will have to go soon," Gibbs, said after an hour, "I have to head to the office."
Tony nodded and got Jain-Luca ready to go.
Tony, Gibbs and a sullen 5 year old left the playground.
As they left the playground, Luca let go of Tony's hand he reached for his son just as his world went black.
A large Italian man snatched Luca up and another man pulled out his gun, "Don't," he growled at Gibbs.
Not caring Gibbs pulled his gun in a vain effort to save Luca, the other man shot him and Gibbs went down.
"DADDY!" Luca screamed as he and his unconscious father were thrown into the back of the SUV.
Desperately Gibbs tried to chase them but another gunshot rang out and he was shot in the leg, realizing he could not give chase he pulled his phone out and called McGee.
"McGee, Luca and Tony have been taken," He gasped.
It took him moments to give him the license plate, description of the vehicle and the men and then he allowed himself the luxury of passing out.
Tony woke up in a darkened basement. He was tied to a chair there were chains hanging from the ceiling and a single light bulb flicked casting strange shadows on the damp walls.
Rene walked into the room. "Professor DiNardo." He said with a sneer, "Or is it Anthony DiNozzo now, I warned you what would happen if you hurt my daughter."
"I didn't you killed her!" He spat. "Where's Luca?" he asked frantically scanning the room.
"You will see him later, he will be the last thing you see," Benoit promised smiling. "The boy is mine; you will never see him again."
"I'll kill you Rene, if you hurt him!" Tony swore.
"He'll be in no pain." Rene said simply.
Tony hung his head as Rene moved to leave, "This is Roberto," He said as the large Italian man walked in, "He's here to keep you company."
Rene turned and smiled as he walked out hearing a muffled oomph as Roberto Punched Tony in the gut.
Four hours later Rene returned, Tony had been severely beaten and was hanging by chains facing a two-way mirror, just like the ones they had in interrogation.
Tony was barely conscious but looked up as Rene entered.
"My last gift, for you before you die." Rene said and switched on a light.
Jain-Luca was sitting playing with his back to Tony, as a man walked into the room behind him holding a gun.
The light went off and Tony saw a flash, heard a bang, and screamed.
Rene smiled. "Now, your son is dead as is my daughter, we are equal." He walked out of the room.
Tony collapsed crying but still hanging by the chains that held him from the ceiling.
Roberto unlocked the chains and Tony slumped to the ground beyond caring that the fall broke his arm.
A few more kicks for good measure and Tony was unconscious. Roberto and the other man, who had kidnapped them, help put Tony's body in the SUV.
Rene walked up to the men, "Drop him off at his precious NCIS, I'm done with him."
A/N Please don't kill me! (Runs away screaming with my arms over my head for protection) ;)
