He awoke and noticed his sheets were covered in sweat. He wiped his brow and headed to his kitchen for a glass of water. He leaned his hands on the counter and held his head low, silently praying that these nightmares would end soon.

Cup of coffee in hand, Leroy Jethro Gibbs was met by silence as he entered the bullpen. Both his agents heads down on their desks, a slight snore coming from DiNozzo's desk.
He picked up his keyboard and dropped it on his desk, this startling only one of them.
"Boss..uh…I'm sorry I must've dozed off." Timothy McGee stuttered his way through the sentence as he rubbed his eyes slightly. Both of them were now staring at Tony who hadn't moved at all.
"DiNozzo!!" Gibbs hollered rather loudly, causing most of the office to jump.
He snapped up. "On your six boss!" He replied in between a slight yawn. "Uh sorry boss, I haven't been sleeping too well lately."
Gibbs just looked back at him. "Right, no excuses, sorry." Tony then slapped himself in the back of the head. "I mean, it won't happen again sir."
His boss nodded and took a sip of his coffee as he sat down. Both McGee and Tony glared at each other and Tony's yawn had caused McGee to yawn as well. During this whole process Gibbs had received a phone call.
"When you two are done with your yawning contest, we got a case…" He grabbed his keys and motioned towards McGee. "Never mind, I'll drive."
Both men followed after him as quickly as possible, but as they got into the elevator, they tried to hide yet another yawn, which followed with a smack to the back for their heads. "Those help you wake up?" Gibbs asked loudly.
They rubbed the back of their heads and Tony responded with a nod, "Better than coffee boss, better than coffee."
