Tim and Ziva arrived to work and were surprised to see that Tony beat them there.

"Morning Tony." Tim and Ziva said in unison

"Good Morning." Tony answered not bothering to look up from his computer.

"You're here early." Tim commented.

Tony ignored him and continued to work on the cold case. Gibbs watched from the balcony outside MTAC room. It had been a very long week for his team. Tony had been withdrawn and quiet. All week Gibbs had been trying to get Tony to tell him what is bothering him, but he won't. The only thing Tony says is that he is fine. He is always fine, even if he wasn't. Tony could be lying on his deathbed and will continue to try to convince everyone that he is fine. Gibbs isn't going to give up until he gets to the bottom of Tony's current attitude.

The time creeps by extremely slowly. Tim and Ziva realize that how time usually flies by on any normal day. Tony has barely said a word to anyone all day. When the week started Tony was laughing and smiling, but as the week on the smiles became more fake and now he isn't smiling at all.

Everyone except Tony looks up when they hear the elevator ding. Gibbs masked his surprise to see the FBI walk off the elevator. Sacks walked in right behind Fornell. Both stood in front of Tony's desk. Gibbs got up and walked up to his old time acquaintance.

"What is up Tobias?"

Fornell ignores him and addresses Tony.

"Agent DiNozzo, stand up."

Tony looked at him wide eyed and did as he was told.

"Anthony DiNozzo Junior, you are under arrest for the murder of Anthony DiNozzo Senior."

Tony lowers his head and put his hands out for the handcuffs.

"Wait, what happened? What evidence do you have against Tony?" Gibbs demanded.

"In Senior's hotel room at the Adams House, we found a bottle of Scotch with arsenic in it. The only fingerprints on the bottle were Agent DiNozzo's. That put him at the crime scene. Plus the staff said that they had seen him enter Senior's room every night this week." Fornell explained.

Everyone look to Tony who wasn't offering any type of explanation. Gibbs watched Tony very carefully. He could sense that Tony is in some type of pain. He also had to buy some time to figure this out.

"Tobias, wait a moment. I want Ducky to take a look at him before you transport him." Gibbs demanded.

Sacks just rolled his eyes. He saw it for what it really is a stalling technique. Agent DiNozzo looks like the picture of health.

"Fine, but we go down with him. He will never be out of our sight until we put him in lockup." Tobias finally agreed.

Gibbs walks Tony into Autopsy followed by Fornell and Sacks.

"Duck" Gibbs calls out. "I want you to give Tony an exam."

"What am I looking for?" Ducky asked as he came to meet them.

"I don't know, but I want to make sure that Tony is in good condition before I even consider to allows the FBI to take him." Gibbs turns to Fornell. "And I expect that when we clear Agent DiNozzo's name and we will clear his name; that he is returned to us in the same condition he is in now."

"Okay Anthony, take your shirt and undershirt off and hop up on the table." Ducky ordered.

Tony looks from Gibbs to Ducky and back and forth. He doesn't want to remove any clothing and certainly not in front of the boys from the Hoover building.

"NOW DiNozzo; we don't have all day." Fornell demanded.

Tony slowly took off his suit jacket and placed it on the autopsy table next to the one he is expect to climb on. Tony's hands started to shake as he undid the buttons on his shirt. He finally took it off and placed it with the jacket. Gibbs and Ducky could see bruises on the lower half off his arms. Some look like they had been there for days while others look like they were still trying to form.

Fornell and Sacks watched in silence. They thought nothing about the bruises. They all end up with bruises; some days it seems like they are a part of the job description.

Tony closes his eyes as he removes his undershirt. He didn't want to see anyone's faces as they saw his secret.

All four watchers gasped as they saw the front of Tony's body. There were more bruises and bad black marks where his ribs are; indicating that his ribs had definitely been injured at some point. Ducky walks behind Tony and takes a look at his back. It was worse than his front as if that was even possible. Welts are covering his backs; some appear to be showing signs of infection while others look deep enough to need stitches.

Tony continues to stand there in silence with his eyes closed and his head down.
