"..and I actually told Jethro Anthony loves him" Ducky said as the screen turned on and Gibbs's face was on the screen.

"Abs, e mailing you a picture, try to see what you can get from it" Gibbs said and worked on something off screen, "There, Duck, I need you over here, Abs, if-"

"That's Tony.. did.. did he make this?" Abby asked. Gibbs nodded on screen.

"Genius Duck! I'm serious! It was pure genius, but I need you over here" Gibbs said.

"I'll be there" Ducky said.

"Poor Tony" Abby sighed as Ducky walked out. Gibbs turned off the screen on his side and turned around on his chair, and stared at Tony.

"Duck's coming over" Gibbs stated matter-of-factly. Tony's eyes were closed, and Gibbs got up, pushed his chair away and walked over to Tony's bed. he lay a hand on Tony's head and sighed before crouching down and kissing Tony's forehead. "If you only knew Tony, how much you mean to me. This has got to be so hard for you, so incredibly fucked up for you, all of this.. I mean, they did that...thing... for two months! Every day, for two whole months, and you just endured it, I dunno if that makes you brave or stupid, and I don't really care, all I know is that when I find them, I'll kill'em" Gibbs said before he got up again. Tony was still sleeping and Gibbs once again found himself running a hand through the short hair, smirking crookedly as he did so. Tony looked younger. Little boy lost, popped into Gibbs's head and he chuckled as he shook his head and walked into the kitchen. Time to make some coffee.

He was in the middle of a staring competition with the coffee maker, willing it to be done faster than normal when it happened. Tony's heartmonitor started it's shrill ringing to announce Tony no longer had a heartrythm or a pulse. Or was breathing. Gibbs jumped and ran into the room where he stopped, and blinked. No Tony. No Tony in the bed. Gibbs blinked and looked around, Tony was sitting on the floor, scraping at something intently. Gibbs walked over to the heartmonitor and turned it and the oxygen off before he crouched down next to Tony.

"Hi" Gibbs said. No reaction, and he looked down at what Tony was doing. His fingers were bleeding, but he kept scraping at the floor. Gibbs took Tony's hands in his own. "No! Don't do that, come here" Gibbs said. Tony still didn't look at him, but he followed Gibbs's movements as Gibbs pulled him with him into the bathroom and put Tony's hands under the running water. Tony made a sound and Gibbs looked at him while he took in the surreal scene he found himself in. Tony was whimpering as the water stung the small scrapes on his fingers, and Gibbs was holding him like he was a naughty little boy who'd been bad. Gibbs turned off the water and looked at Tony. "There, better?" He asked. Nothing. The doorbell rang and Tony looked petrified. before Gibbs knew it he had two armfulls of Tony clinging around him. "Tony, it's only Ducky, calm down" Gibbs sighed. But Tony refused to let go. "DUCK! USE YOUR SPARE" Gibbs shouted and proceeded to break free from Tony's wise like grip on him.

"Well I'll be..hello Anthony" Ducky said. Tony made a high pitched sound and scrambled backwards, crashing into the medicine cabinet, it fell to the ground as Tony continued to try to scramble backwards. If it hadn't been for Gibbs's reactions, Tony would've fallen and cracked his head.

"Ssssh, sssssh, 's okay Tony, 's only Ducky" Gibbs said as he embraced Tony's shivering body, Ducky watched as Gibbs and Tony sunk down on the bathroom floor and Gibbs calmed Tony down by murmuring soothing things in Tony's ear, telling him everything was okay. Finally, Tony had just shut his eyes and fallen asleep on Gibbs. By now, Ducky was sitting in the bathroom too, and Gibbs was stroking Tony's hair over and over, "Sorry 'bout that Duck, guess he's a little jumpy" Gibbs sighed.

"Not a problem Jethro, I don't imagine he was more surprised than me. When did he start walking around?" Ducky asked.

"I talked to you, and then went to make some food, and he was up and scraping on the floor, his fingers were bleeding" Gibbs sighed, "Looks like it's stopped" he added as he lifted a limp hand and showed Ducky, "I put his hands under the sink.. he was whimpering" Gibbs said softly and brushed away some sweat on Tony's brow, "it's okay Tony, you just sleep, and I'll talk to Duck" Gibbs whispered, "Duck, you go out into the livingroom and see that drawing, I had to erase something on it, look at what I wrote on the paper next to it" Gibbs said.

"J-"

"Duck.. just do it, please?" Gibbs asked, "I'll try getting Tony to bed in the meantime" Gibbs sighed.

Gibbs had finally gotten Tony into the bed and tucked him in when he turned around to see Ducky standing, staring at him, his face pale.

"Who could have done such a thing to Anthony?" Ducky asked.

"I don't know Duck, but Im sure as hell going to find out" Gibbs growled.
