"Tony?" McGee asked. No response. "Boss?" McGee shouted. Gibbs came inside. "Did Tony come to you?" McGee asked.

"No" Gibbs said and scanned the cave with trained investigator eyes, "He can't have gone too far" Gibbs said and picked up his flashlight, shining it further into the cave. "Tony!" he said loudly, listening to the name echoing through the cave. "We take one side of the cave each, check EVERYTHING" Gibbs growled.

"Yes Boss" McGee said and nodded at the same time before they started moving, both checking every little rock for any sign of Tony.

"Damnit Tony" Gibbs cursed under his breath, "Why'd you have to scare me like this huh?" he whispered. Because Tony really scared him when he disappeared. He had done it once before, and Gibbs had nearly gone out of his mind, worrying about what could have happened.

Flashback:

Tony had been missing for three hours, noone could reach him, and Gibbs had gone home early, not wanting the rest of the team to see him worrying. Gibbs paced his livingroom like a caged animal, a very dangerous animal when the door opened. Tony came inside and Gibbs marched right up to him, pressing him into the wall.

"Nice welcome.. can I hang up my coat now?" Tony asked, pressed into the wall by Gibbs's arm. Gibbs gave Tony a once over but didn't let go.

"Where were you?" Gibbs asked.

"What're you talking about?" Tony asked with a frown.

"You've been missing for three hours!" Gibbs growled. Tony chuckled and looked into the ceiling.

"I left a note Jet, I had a doctor's appointment" Tony said and looked back at Gibbs, "You have to start checking your pockets" he continued and kissed Gibbs.

End flashback.

Gibbs froze as he saw the lump on the cave floor and he ran forwards, kneeling down and checking Tony's pulse. McGee came jogging over and knelt on Gibbs's left side, by Tony's feet.

"How is he Boss?" McGee asked.

"Unconcious" Gibbs replied. The pulse was weak and fluttering fast against his fingers, and Gibbs knew it was shock as he touched Tony's skin which was cold and clammy against his hand. "Help me roll him" Gibbs said. They carefully rolled Tony onto his back and Gibbs tried to rouse Tony. Tony groaned and opened his eyes after a long while of trying to rouse him with no luck. "Tony, wake up" Gibbs said. Tony's eyes fluttered open.

"Hi Jet" Tony drawled.

"Hey there, ready to go ba-"

"I was looking for you, I think I forgot to unplug the coffee maker" Tony mumbled as his eyes started closing again. Gibbs frowned and patted Tony's chin again. "I'm sorry" Tony mumbled and opened his eyes again, they were glazed and dazed and Gibbs didn't like what he was seeing one bit. "Are you okay? You look worried.. and I'm cold" Tony said, and started shivering, "The floor is bumpy" he mumbled.

"We should move him back to the fire" Gibbs sighed. "We're going for a little walk Tony, you up for it?" Gibbs asked, "Ah why the hell am I asking, we're going for a walk DiNozzo, upsy daisy" Gibbs said and with the help of McGee, got Tony into a standing position. Tony almost fell but Gibbs and McGee were quicker, and flung one arm each over their shoulders. "One foot in front of the other" Gibbs said.

"I'm tired" Tony mumbled and started sagging against Gibbs who cast a worried glance at the younger man.

"Hey! Stay awake!" Gibbs growled. Tony's head jolted back up and Tony winced.

"My head hurts" Tony mumbled.

"I know it does, just a little further Tony" Gibbs said. He was getting extremely worried about Tony being so damn lethargic. "Just a little further" Gibbs repeated as they saw the fireplace.

"I was looking for George" Tony mumbled.

"I thought you were looking for me?" Gibbs asked.

"That too, but I couldn't find George so I looked for you.. can't you turn the thermostat up? It's freezing in here" Tony mumbled. Gibbs couldn't help but chuckle at that as they reached the fireplace and lay Tony down on his sleepingbag. Gibbs stepped back and his foot hit something hard, he turned around and saw Tony's backpack. His gut told him the hard things were in Tony's backpack, and that it wasn't just some rock he had hit with his foot. His gut told him it was..

..the radios.
