Gibbs stared at Tony who was currently sleeping and sighed.

"What do we do now?" Gibbs asked.


"We pray, and we keep all sharp objects away from him" Ducky replied.

Ducky had gone for takeout food. Chinese, just as Tony loved it. Gibbs was dozing slightly when he heard it. Just a breath. Gibbs blinked and nearly jumped out of his skin as Tony was suddenly on the floor, scraping on it. Gibbs got up and walked over, he knew Tony's fingers were plastered, so he knew Tony wouldn't scrape himself up again. Gibbs crouched down and looked at Tony who was staring at the floor while feebly trying to almost dig into it.

"What're you doing?" Gibbs asked casually. No response of course. "Am I supposed to understand something? Is there something you're trying to tell me?" Gibbs asked. Nothing. Gibbs sighed. "Fine, I'll just.. go over here again" Gibbs said. He got up and turned towards the tv when suddenly, he felt someone gripping his pantleg. Surprised, he spun around and saw Tony staring into the wall.

"Under floor" Tony breathed. Gibbs crouched down and turned Tony so he was locking eyes with him.

"What did you say?" Gibbs asked. Tony did nothing, "Tony please say that again! I didn't get it!" Gibbs said, he was desperate now, the sound of Tony's voice eating into the very depths of his soul. Gibbs's heart was beating rapidly and he was actually shaking Tony slightly.

"Jethro! Stop that! What are you doing?" Ducky asked behind him.

"He spoke! Duck! He spoke!" Gibbs said happily.

"I hardly think scaring him like that is going to incurrgae him to open his mouth again" Ducky said. Gibbs blinked and then embraced Tony, rocking them from side to side.

"You spoke Tony! You spoke!" Gibbs said and pulled back, "which means you can do it again" Gibbs said seriously. But there was no response.

"What did he say exactly?" Ducky asked. Gibbs blinked.

"He was sitting on the floor.. floor... under.. under the floor!" Gibbs said, "That's what he said!" Gibbs said.

"Alright.. does it MEAN anything to you?" Ducky asked.

"No.. no not really.. but he was scraping on the floor" Gibbs said and got on his knees, he searched the place Tony had been scraping and found a small slit. He grabbed his pocketknife and stuck it in there, and hit the knife so the board went up. He proceeded to remove it and smirked. "Tony you magnificent bastard" Gibbs grinned now. Ducky peered down the big hole in the floor and then looked at Tony.

"I believe, young man, that you have some explaining to do" Ducky said.
