Gibbs stuck his left arm down into the hole and retrieved the objects he had previously seen. He had called Ziva and McGee, told them to glove and gear up, and get their asses over there. Gibbs barly looked at the papers before putting them into the evidence bag. Clothes, papers, pictures, drawings, all you could imagine, was there. They hadn't found Tony's work right after the sting had gone wrong. And this showed Tony was investigating these two people. That mad Gibbs frown at least, since he knew what had transpird between Tony and Joshua and Fredrick. Did Tony know that Joshua and Fredrick was involved in the case or was he just unlucky? Was Tony actually out for revenge and got recognized? Gibbs looked down the hole. An old wodden box, with a beautifully card pattern on the oak cover, was the only thing that was left. Gibbs picked it up, and flipped it open. Letters. To Gibbs.

"This one's staying here" Gibbs simply said. Ziva and McGee nodded and left with enough evidence to make Abby hate them for months to come.

"Well Jethro, I certainly was not expecting that" Ducky admitted. Gibbs looked at him, still holding the box gently between his glovved fingers, "If you don't mind me asking" Ducky said and leant forward, "What is in the box that made you kep it here?" Ducky asked. Gibbs smirked.

"It's between Tony and me" Gibbs said and put the box down, "The food's cold but I'll heat it in the oven, if you want to stay you can, bu-"

"Mother misses me Jethro, so no, I don't believe I can stay tonight" Ducky said. Gibbs nodded and followed Ducky into the hall, waved his goodbyes to Ducky and locked the door behind him. Then he walked back inside the livingroom and looked at Tony. Tony was staring intently at his hand, willing it to do something nw and exciting. Like a child who had first discovered he HAD a hand. Gibbs walked over to him.

"Hey you, wanna go draw in the kitchen or something Tony?" Gibbs asked. No response, so Gibbs just pulled Tony gently with him into the kitchen. He sat Tony down on a chair, stuffed the food in the oven, and straddled a kitchen chair, as he watched Tony sit perfectly still on the bench, "I thought we could talk a little" Gibbs said, knowing perfectly well how insane that would sound to anyone that didn't know his and Tony's friendship. "So, when did you first start collecting evidence for yourself?" Gibbs asked. No reply, and Tony's mouth was going slightly open and then closed again. Gibbs squinted slightly and continued, "Ther was a lot of it too" he said, "I think it's from the two months" Gibbs said. He was slightly afraid of using th words, afraid that Tony would retreat completely into himself if h did say them, so he had told Tony he would say th two months instead. "And I think some of it's from the sting that went to hell" Gibbs said and sighed, "You don't trust me enough to tell me something like this?" Gibbs asked. No reply. "Yeah, I wouldn't trust me either, I'm a bastard" Gibbs sighed. He got up and retrieved the food before continuing. "You know, we probably have enough evidence to lock them away for years now" Gibbs said.

"No" came from behind him and Gibbs turned around, he was at Tony's side in an instant.

"No? Why no? Do you want them to die?" Gibbs asked.

"No" Tony said again.

"Not enough evidence?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes" Tony said mechanically.

"There was a lot of stuff down there about Fredrick and Joshua" Gibbs argued, even though he didn't know why he was arguing, he was so happy to hear Tony's voice, he was one step away from just shaking Tony again.

"No" Tony said. Gibbs frowned.

"No, as in, evidence not about Joshua and Fredrick?" Gibbs asked hesitantly. he wasn't sure he wanted to know the answer.

"No" Tony said. Gibbs sighed and then he thought about it.

"The evidence, it's about them, but it's not enough because it's about some others too!" Gibbs said and snapped his fingers.

"Yes" Tony said.

"So if we can figure out who the others are, then I'm sure you've made some connection between these people, correct?" Gibbs asked. No reply. Tony was once again just staring at the tablecloth, and Gibbs sighed as he put the food on the table, "Let's eat" Gibbs said.
