Redress
Gibbs watched serious Tony leave Ziva and Tim completely in his tracks as he put the pieces together for the case. He could tell Tony was really hurting and badly wanted to redress his hurts. He couldn’t do much for Tony at work, not wanting to ruin Tony’s reputation with the other agents. He did make sure to ask if Tony was ok when they were alone wanting to let Tony know he was there.
After they finished the case, Gibbs took Tony home.
“It just it reminded me of everyone who has left me. My mom, Senior, Wendy, Brenda, even you.” Tony murmured quietly.
“Oh Tony, I’m so sorry.” Gibbs hugged Tony tightly to him. “I won’t ever leave you again.” Gibbs promised, silently vowing to do anything he could to make up for his part in Tony’s pain as well as trying to make Tony forget everyone else who hurt him.
