"Come on Tony, movie time is over, let's get some food into you" Gibbs said as he brought out the soup. He leaned Tony forwards with the help of Abby and raised the head of the bed so Tony was sitting, before placing a towel on Tony's chest. Again, a suggestion from Ducky's side. Gibbs straddled a chair he had brought with him from the kitchen, and paused the movie which was nearing the end by now. No sound this time. Gibbs filled the spoon with soup, he had made sure it was the right temperatre so Tony wouldn't burn himself on it, and lifted it towards Tony's lips. He had to clench his jaw when he found he had to practically force it into Tony's mouth and pour it down his throat. But Tony swalloved, at least that was something.

"This is awful" Abby said from the sofa, "Why is he like this Gibbs? I don't understand! And I don't like not understanding!" Abby continued, her voice slightly panicked.

"I don't know either Abs, but he'll be okay, you'll be okay Tony" Gibbs said, looking at Tony, hoping, that somwhow, Tony got the message, that Gibbs was watching his six. After Gibbs finished feeding Tony and cleaned up the mess he had made, he turned on the movie, instantly seeing Tony's eyes dart towards the screen. Gibbs smirked as he went over to sit with Abby and McGee. He grabbed a bowl of soup and sighed, leaning back in a comfertable chair. He wondered why he hadn't gotten one himself. This was REALLY comfertable.

"What happened down there?" Abby asked. Gibbs blinked and looked at her. He swalloved a spoonful of soup. What HAD happened down there? Something so terrifying for Tony, that he had no choice but to go catathonic. And their two only leads were dead. He ate some more soup. "Gibbs? Can you please talk?" Abby asked. Gibbs smirked.

"Yeah.. I don't know Abs, I dunno what happened down there, all I heard was Tony saying they'd made him, I don't know how" Gibbs sighed, "And the beating" he added quietly. Abby visibly shuddered a little, "But I'm going to find out Abs, that's a promise" Gibbs said firmly.

"But you need to take care of Tony" Abby said, pouting, "you can't do both" Abby sighed. Gibbs stared into the bowl of soup. He had to make a decision soon, hiring someone to watch Tony and go after the bad guys and continuing his job, or stay at home watchin Tony stare at nothing the whole day.

"Actually, he can" McGee piped up. Abby and Gibbs looked at him. "I'm just saying, I could get some computer stuff over here and you could work from here" McGee said, "And we're a team, so if you can't watch Tony because you're off somewhere, someone else will, Ducky even talked to gerald who said he'd be more than happy to pitch in" McGee quickly finished. Abby jumped at McGee, embracing him so hard McGee lost his breath. "Abby...can't...breathe" McGee whispered.

"Don't care! You're the most brilliant guy in history!" Abby declared and let him go. He coughed slightly and straightened his rumpled suit jacket before looking at Gibbs who had both eyebrows raised, holding his spoon in the bowl of soup, "He is! Gibbs! Really!" Abby said. Gibbs smirked and looked at McGee.

"Good work McGee" Gibbs simply said. The ending tune of the movie played and all three heads turned as there was a low impatient sound from the bed Tony was laying in. Gibbs put his bowl down and got up. He walked over to Tony and crouched down, staring him in the eyes again, "another movie huh?" he asked, running a hand through Tony's hair before smiling at the impatient sound he got, "Okay then" he said and got up, before walking over to the shelf, "let's see.. nope.. nope.. nope.. nope..Donnie Darko? Never heard of it, so nope, The Blob? Abs, The Blob?" Gibbs asked, waving the offending movie in Abby's eyesight.

"It's supposed to be a horrormovie, but it's really funny" Abby giggled.

"You want to see it to Tony?" Gibbs asked. An impatient sound from the bed once again. "I'll take that as a yes then" Gibbs said and walked over to the DVD machine, took out the James Bond movie and replaced it with The Blob movie, "You want anything to drink?" Gibbs asked McGee and Abby. There was an impatient sound fro the bed and Gibbs frowned as he turned around. "Tony, make that sound again if you want anything to drink" Gibbs said. The sound came again and Gibbs smirked, "Good work Tony" he whispered. "Soda?" He asked. The impatient sound came again, "soda it is then, Abs? McGee?" he asked, twirling around again.

"I should get going, it's gonna take a lot of paperwork to get the stuff we need" McGee said and got up, "thank you for dinner" he said.

"By Tim!" Abby said and hugged McGee again.

"Bye" McGee said and walked into the hall. Gibbs followed him out.

"McGee." Gibbs said as McGee walked towards his car. McGee turned around and blinked. "Thank you" Gibbs said and closed the door, before locking it. Gibbs sighed, turned around, and walked back into the livingroom. He rubbed his hands, "okay, soda for Tony, beer for me, and.." he asked, looking at Abby.

"Tony always has an energy drink for me" Abby pouted. Gibbs smirked.

"I'll see if I can't dig one up" he said. He walked into the kitchen and retrieved a Coke, a Corona, and a Battery. When he came back, however, Abby had pushed and pulled Tony into the middle of the twin bed Gibbs ad made by pushing his own bed next to Tony's, and she was now laying on his shoulder. Gibbs smirked again before walking over and layng on the other side of Tony. "Just make sure he doesn't fall through" Gibbs said.
