2/9/13: I am just doing edits to all my stories and cleaning them up so they don't look like a small child's writing. While I will be mostly making small changes I will be completely changing a key scene in this story after many unhappy reviews and comments. Otherwise just small grammar changes.

It was December in D.C and the city was in the middle of what might be one of the coldest winters in its history. But life continued on for the MCRT team at NCIS.

Gibbs stepped out of the elevator empty handed "Grab your gear; we got ourselves a dead Marine."

Anthony DiNozzo ever the warm climate person was not happy about braving the below zero temperatures that would be awaiting them outside, but didn't complain and headed out of the bullpen with his teammates Special Agents Timothy McGee and Caitlin Todd.

"What do we have Boss?" Kate asked as soon as they reached the agency sedan.

"I'm not sure LEOs weren't specific just said they had a Marine and that we should come check it out at George Washington National Forest. " Gibbs stated as he drove the vehicle and merged it into the morning rush hour traffic.

The rest of the hour long car ride was quiet as everyone was still recovering from the weekend off. Kate having gone on a weekend spa retreat with a friend, McGee spent all weekend at video gaming convention with his friends, and Gibbs did who knows what all weekend. While Tony went to the local library and tried to help out Bobby Singer with some research he just couldn't figure out and wanted some new eyes to look at. Tony eventually got the answers for Bobby, but not before staying up more than half the weekend and missing the weekend movie marathon of James Bond playing at the local theater.

"Grab your stuff." Gibbs hollered to his sleeping agents in the car.

All three agents scrambled to grab their gear and met their boss who was already talking to the local police officer who had called. Gibbs having got the call before his morning coffee was already more short tempered then usual, but when he found out the locals wanted to share custody of the case he became downright pissed. From what the three younger agents could tell Gibbs's opponent was close to landing on his ass with a broken nose.

"NCIS will NOT share the case with you we were told there was a dead Marine here and WE will investigate the case. This is out of YOUR jurisdiction! " Gibbs yelled to the officer in his Marine voice bringing back many memories for Tony who had been on the receiving end of that voice more than his far share growing up with John Winchester.

Tony deciding to save the poor officer from any more trouble ran up to his boss, "So Boss who is the victim? Also here have my coffee; I'm not going to drink it anyway." He offered sadly handing over his much need black coffee to his boss. He figured he wouldn't kill anyone without it, but he wouldn't bet the same for his boss. Gibbs grabbed the still warm coffee cup from him, sniffed it and decided it was satisfactory and took a sip.

"We have a dead Marine by the name of John Winchester. He appears to have died from the cold and it looks like he was also mauled by something. We won't know for sure until Ducky and Palmer get here. Hopefully Palmer didn't get them lost again." Gibbs said but after Tony heard the name of the victim everything stopped and seemed to move in slow motion. Slowly walking over to the body in a trance he looked at the bloodied and bruised features of the man sprawled across the ground and let a single tear run down his cheek.

"DiNozzo, what's gotten into you? You can't touch the body before Ducky gets here you know that." Gibbs stated without waiting for an excuse, and began to walk away.

Tony took a deep breath trying to calm the nerves that were slowly leading to breakdown that he wasn't willing to have and looked up at Gibbs, "He's my Dad."

Everyone froze when they heard the shocking confession. Ducky and Palmer stopped bickering about whose fault it was they were late, Kate looked up from her sketch of the scene and McGee stopped questioning the hiker who found the body. Gibbs though he felt about two inches tall having been so rude with Tony without asking. Everyone took the moment of silence and tried to decide what to do next. Gibbs went to stand next to Tony and instead of the headslap that he was previously planning on delivering to his lead agent's head he pulled Tony into a quick embrace.

"We'll go back to the office and figure out what to do from there." Gibbs whispered into Tony's ear and started to lead them both towards the car and away from the scene of the accident.

Getting into the sedan Gibbs turned the heater on higher to help prevent Tony from going into shock any further then he already was and quickly began to traverse the road out of the park.

"Boss we need to stop somewhere I have to call my brothers and see where they are so we can get them." Tony said with a few shaky breaths escaping him. Gibbs was beginning to wonder what he really knew about his Senior Field Agent because he sure as hell didn't know Tony's Dad was a former Marine that enjoyed hiking in the woods in the middle of winter of that he had any siblings.

"We need to stop for gas anyway. Why don't you try calling them now so we know what direction to head in?"

"Ok." Tony agreed and was just pulling out his phone when it started to blast "Back in Black" the ringtone for Dean's phone. Not really sure how to answer he slowly lifted the phone and connected the call.

"Dean? Is that you, where are you guys? I need to come pick you guys up something happened to Dad. Hello is anyone there?" Tony was starting to worry with the lack of an answer when he heard a crash in the background closely followed by a thud.

"Sorry. I really need your help Dean is really sick and I don't know what to do with him anymore. I can't control him and I don't know where Dad is. Can you come and get us please?" Sam was trying to remain calm and composed but was freaking out even Tony who didn't really get to spend that much time with him knew how Sammy acted.

"Yeah Sammy I'll be there as soon as I can but I need to know where you guys are staying so me and my friend can come get you."

"We are staying at The Pines Inn; it's like the only hotel in Winchester. We are staying in room 24. Please hurry up; I'm worried that Dean will start hurting himself or me if you or Dad doesn't get here soon."

"Don't worry we will be there shortly." With that Sammy hung up leaving Tony wondering how things could get any worse.

"Boss, Sammy said they were staying at The Pines Inn in Winchester, VA. How soon can we get there?"

"Lucky for you that is right in the direction we are headed. Shouldn't be more the 10 minutes drive I don't have a problem doing this for you and I still trust you, but boy do you have a hell of a lot of explaining to do when we get this all straightened out." Gibbs said with such force and trust that it shocked Tony.

"Ok Boss" Was all Tony could say.
