Tony tried to mask the shock that he was feeling. How did Gibbs know what happened? How would he even guess that Rebecca could have been the one to almost do him in? He sat up a bit straighter and squared his shoulders as if ready for a fight. "I don't know what you are talking about." He stated simply yet firmly.

Gibbs also sat up straighter and looked at his SFA suspiciously. "Tony…"

"Don't…" Tony said shaking his head even though it hurt like a mother fucker to just move it in the slightest. "I don't know what happened or who did this to me, so drop it. The more you talk about it the more I am likely to get PTSD or some shit."

"Actually talking prevents PTSD." Gibbs argued.

Tony rolled his eyes, "Whatever…now I am going to take a nap." He said turning around on the couch so he could lie down.

"You can always use the guest room."

"M'fine."

Gibbs sighed, "I will be downstairs." He said as he got up and headed through the kitchen to the basement. Once in the basement he didn't automatically go to his boat making supplies but sat down on one of the stools at the workbench and put his head in his hands. He KNEW what happened to Tony. He had seen it on video footage earlier that day…video footage that he now had stored in the closet of his bedroom where nobody else could see it unless it was needed for evidence someday. If Tony wasn't going to tell the truth of what happened yet then that was okay but as for now he would also keep things quiet. Sighing he turned and started working on his latest project until Tony woke up and they could get something to eat maybe.

Half an hour later there was a knock on the front door that woke Tony from his nap. He looked around to get his bearings for a second before remembering he was at Gibbs' house and that Gibbs was downstairs and probably couldn't hear the door. Groaning he got up off the couch and went to the door. He was semi shocked to see who was at the door when he looked through the peek hole. Smiling a little he opened the door. "Tobias." He said as a greeting.

FBI Agent Tobias Fornell walked into the house and looked around. "Where's Gibbs?" he questioned when he didn't see the other man.

"Downstairs…I was napping." Tony admitted as he glanced at the couch. "You're probably welcome to go down and see him…or I can go get him."

Tobias shook his head to the last part. "I will go to him…you rest." It was obvious he had heard about what had happened to Tony, which makes sense he was probably the closest thing Gibbs had to a best friend.

"Okay," Tony said with a shrug as he went back to the couch and sat down. He wasn't going to admit to anybody but standing up gave him a headache, made him dizzy and nauseous.

With a last look at Tony as if to make sure he was okay, Tobias headed down to the basement.

"Tony you shouldn't be coming down here." Gibbs said assuming the person coming down the stairs was his SFA.

"Not DiNozzo." Tobias said as he took the last step and stepped into the room. "He's upstairs looking more pail than a sheet."

Gibbs sighed, "I knew he wasn't ready to leave the hospital."

Tobias laughed, "You can't keep DiNozzo in the hospital."

"Agreed." Gibbs said and then looked up from his project to really see his friend. "Can I ask what brings YOU here?"

"I thought I could help out." Tobias shrugged.

Gibbs raised an eyebrow. "You want to help me nurse Tony back to health or help with the boat?" Those were both things that Tobias normally didn't do so why was he suggesting them now?

Tobias shook his head in the negative and laughed, "I think you've got both those things under control. I meant help you catch the bastard that did this to him. I can get a team on it since I know you guys technically aren't supposed to take cases this close to home."

"I think Vance is going to let us." Gibbs said mostly to try and steer his friend from finding out what REALLY happened before Tony was able to deal with it. Right now the younger man was in complete denial over the fact that he had a psychopath for a wife and Gibbs was going to let him be that way for the time being. 'But what if he gets hurt again?' he thought to himself but quickly shook that off.

Tobias wasn't so sure of Gibbs' response. "You're hiding something." He said looking at him through squinted eyes. "Tell me what is going on or I will figure out another way to find out."

Should he tell him? He knew Tobias could keep a secret if he was asked but this was about somebody else, not him. Biting his lower lip he glanced towards the stairs and then back at his friend again. "I do know something."

"Something about what happened to DiNozzo?"

"Maybe…"

Tobias threw his hands up in the air. "Dammit Gibbs I cannot help keep you and your team safe if you don't tell me things."

"Who said you had to keep us safe?" Gibbs spat all of a sudden angry but not at Tobias but mostly at the situation.

"I said." Tobias replied simply.

Gibbs again looked at the stairs to make sure nobody was there listening and sighed. "I know who hurt him."

This shocked Tobias a little, "You actually know for sure?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you fucking do something?" Tobias exclaimed. "The person could be in jail right now awaiting trial for a major offense."

"It's not that easy." Gibbs replied. "It wouldn't be for Tony anyway."

Tobias sighed, "Jethro, I know you have feelings for him…and want him safe but he's not safe if you're keeping secrets." He then thought of something. "Does TONY know who did it?"

Gibbs nodded, "He was talking to the person from what I could tell on camera."

"So you saw the video feed that nobody seems to know what happened to."

"Yes."

Sighing again Tobias sat down at the workbench and watched Gibbs for a second. "So who did it?"

Gibbs wasn't sure if he should say anything but knew he needed to. He needed somebody to talk with in since Tony wasn't talking about it. Tobias was right he had feelings for Tony and more than just a friend or co-worker. He had, had these feelings for a good few years now even when he had been dating his previous boyfriends. They and simply been a substitute for who he really wanted to be with.

"Gibbs…"

"Rebecca." Gibbs said softly, not looking at his friend as he said this.

This shocked Tobias and it showed, "His wife Rebecca?"

Gibbs nodded his head slowly, "Yeah…the woman is a complete psychopathic basket case."

Tobias actually laughed a little at this mostly because Gibbs' wording had been rather humorous.

Gibbs raised an eyebrow, not sure what was so funny. "Something is funny about that?"

Tobias was about to say something when there was noise on the steps and Tony appeared walking down them.

Looking up Gibbs sighed, "Tony you shouldn't be navigating stairs." He told his SFA and good friend as he watched him gingerly walk down the steps. It was obvious his head was really hurting.

"I was getting bored." Tony said as he finally got down the stairs and went to sit next to next to Tobias at the work bench. "Somebody disturbed my nap." He glared playfully at Tobias.

Tobias held his hands up in defense. "How was I to know you would be the one to answer the door?"

"Touché"

"Well BOTH of you are invading MY space." Gibbs said nodding around at the basement and all his woodworking materials. "So what do you guys want?" Of course he knew what Tobias wanted, but that would have to wait. Now Tony on the other hand he wasn't sure what brought the other man downstairs. Wait that's right…boredom. Well, how did you keep an injured DiNozzo entertained? "Let's go back upstairs so Tony can lie back down." He said beginning to put some of his things away.

"I don't need to, I'm fine." Tony answered stubbornly. "Plus you were busy doing something, I don't want you to stop just to babysit me."

"It's fine, Tony." Gibbs said

Tobias took this as his cue to leave and also headed for the stairs. "I should get home, the kid is probably wanting dinner. But Gibbs if you need to talk about what we talked about call me."

Gibbs nodded, "Sure thing Fornell."

With Fornell gone up the stairs, Tony seemed relieved, there was something about having that man around that always made him nervous.

"Come on." Gibbs reached for Tony's hand and pulled him off the stool. "Let's go watch a movie."
