Look, okay first off, I feel like absolute shit for the wait but the move has been a lot longer and harder than expected. I was without wifi in after the 6th of November in December. My family moved before we actually bought a house, staying at my Uncle's place until we actually bought a place, which was around January. Then it was going back and forth between my old house and the new one, bringing all our shit down to the new one, so I never had a free moment until now. I've been gone almost every weekend doing shit and my weeknights are full of homework and other shit that takes priority over this.
Second, I never actually planned any shit for this. I didn't expect it to go anywhere or get popular so I'm just making things up as I go along, and for that, I'm sorry.
I'll try my hardest to actually update at least once a month but no promises. If I can't keep it up and going, then I'll find someone good to adopt the story and keep it going.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you guys go back, I did a few quick changes to the first two chapters.
Again I am soo sooo sooooooooooo sorry for this. Now without further adue
OntO THE STORY.
He wasn't even asleep for more than two hours when he was woken again: this time by a rather angry and worried 36 year old man shouting his name.
Wow Ben, way to be considerate to the other hospital patients. Alex had expected this though. After all, he did disappear at one in the morning to follow up on a lead without informing Ben that he was leaving. Oh god I'm in so much trouble, he's gonna kill me. Alex cracked open his eyes just in time to see Ben run in through the door to his hospital room.
"ALEX MOTHERFUCKING RI-" Alex quickly shot him a look.
"-DANIELS, YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE I SWEAR TO GOD" Ben yelled at him.
"Dad," Alex said, keeping his cover, "if you shout just a little louder then New York could probably hear you too." Ben glared at him.
"I'm sorry okay? I probably should've told you I was leaving." Alex started to tap Morse code on his leg.
Mission success. The Scorpia agents are dead. One extra casualty.
"Yeah, you should've!" Ben was still pretty loud, but now he was half focused on what Alex was tapping in Morse code.
Good, but you are still in so much trouble! You get to deal with the aftermath of the mission and NCIS. You can tell Joe about the casualty too.
"Sorry dad." He pretended to look ashamed when in all actuality, he really couldn't give a shit.
Fine, whatever.
Neither Ben nor Alex tapped Morse again, instead Ben just ranted about the worry and grief Alex caused him. Gibbs joined them not even a minute later.
"As soon as Alex is released, I need him to come down to NCIS to be questioned. You can come with Mr. Daniels." Gibbs told the supposed father-son duo.
Ben just sighed knowing this was going to happen, while Alex just laughed internally, happy to have annoyed Daniels. "Of course Agent Gibbs."
"When am I going to be released again?" Alex questioned, wanting to be anywhere but there.
"Tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. The doctors want you in a wheelchair when you leave though, the knife pierced your lung and was too close to your spine for their liking." When Alex only gave a slight nod and a sigh, Gibbs realized something; Alex was way to relaxed about this. He had just gotten stabbed and was found near three dead men (not that Alex knew that to Gibbs knowledge) and here he was, not even giving a shit.
"Alex, do you mind if I ask you a couple questions now?" He shook his head.
"I'll uh, just go get some coffee and wait in the hall then." Ben said.
"You can stay in the room if you wish Mr. Daniels."
"No, it's okay. I can tell Alex doesn't really want me here." Ben knew Alex could handle himself and he lied better than anyone in the world so he left to go get some shitty hospital coffee. Alex just watched Ben go before sighing once more.
"Alex, what happened in that alley?" Gibbs was being soft on the kid and he knew it.
Alex just stared at the opposite wall. "I snuck out of the apartment because my insomnia kept me up and I got bored." Alex gave the partial truth there. "I went down that alley, thinking it was a shortcut to the nearest gas station so I could get ice-cream. A man with a blonde buzz cut came at me from the shadows. Started screaming, asking where 'it' was and shaking me. I think he mistook me for the other guy with a brown buzz cut because he came along not too long after I did and they started a yelling match while the blonde guy didn't let me go. The third guy, the one in the green t-shirt, I think he heard the yelling and thought I was getting mugged. They all recognized each other though, and soon a fight started. Knives were pulled out. I got stabbed trying to get away and get help. I blacked out after that, and woke up when you found me." Of course the rest was an utter lie. Gibbs looked like he believed him though, which was a plus.
"What ever happened to those guys?" Alex asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"They're dead Alex." Gibbs said with a soft face.
Alex pretended to look sad but then yawned. He'd felt really tired ever since he'd first woken up but only now did he show it. The NCIS agent saw how tired the teenager was.
"That's enough for today. Get some rest kiddo, you need it." He said before ruffling Alex's hair and walking out.
"Bye Agent Gibbs." Alex said before falling asleep.
Gibbs nodded to the NCIS lackey outside Alex's door, to make sure Alex didn't try to leave or someone didn't try to harm Alex. He also bid goodnight to Ben Daniels after telling him that Alex was sleeping and that he'd send an agent to pick the two up tomorrow around 6 pm.
Guys I know I'm a terrible person.
SORRRY
