Tony was drawing again, his toung sticking out of his mouth as he sat at the table. Gibbs was drinking coffee and watching Tony draw. 0200 hours, and no sleep for the weary. Tony had woken up one hour earlier and refused to go back to sleep, so Gibbs had gotten him to sit by the tabl and draw quietly. Gibbs's mind was still reeling from their 'conversation' earlier. Tony looked down at his drawing and made some sort of happy sound, to let Gibbs know he was done. Gibbs grabbed the drawing and looked at it. There was a man standing by a mirror, holding a razor with his left hand, cutting another man on his right wrist. Two streaks of blood was showing on it. Gibbs frowned and looked at Tony, and thn at his wrist.

"This.. this is some kind of mark?" Gibbs asked. No reply. Gibbs looked at the drawing again and noticed there were shadows in th room Tony had drawn. He looked at Tony again. "Some kind of cult? You did that to yourslf to show me?" Gibbs asked. But Tony was occupied with drawing again. Gibbs sighed, and went back to staring at the drawing again. He hadn't even noticed the time pass by until anothr drawing came along. The man who had been cut was laying on the floor. Gibbs frowned. "Someone killed him?" Gibbs asked. Tony stared at him and clenched his jaw. Like he wanted to say something but the words just wouldn't come properly. "Someone you knew killed this man?" Gibbs asked. Tony clenchd his jaw again. "Someone you knew killed someone you knew?" Gibbs asked and looked at Tony. Gibbs lay the drawing back down and sighed, "Tony I don't understand" Gibbs said and looked at Tony, "you gotta giv me a name" Gibbs said, "thse people don't have faces" he continued and pointed to the drawings. Tony pointed at himself. Gibbs nodded. "Yeah, you're the only one that can give me answers" Gibbs said. Tony frowned and pointed at the drawings and then to himself. Gibbs frowned.

"Is one of the people in these drawings you Tony?" Gibbs asked. Tony pointed to the drawing and Gibbs picked it up, holding it so that Tony could see. "Were you watching?" Gibbs asked. Nothing. Gibbs started pointing to the people around the room, but first when h pointed to the man who was being cut, did he get a response. Tony grunted, and Gibbs frowned as he looked at the drawing. "This" he said and looked at Tony, "is you?" he asked. Tony made an almost sad saound and lay down on the sofa, curling into a little ball. "You nevr tried comitting suicide did you? Someone tried to kill you" Gibbs breathed. He had read Tony's file. It said he had one failed suicide attempt when he was in Peoria, that the ME had found him and brought him to a hospital. Tony was devestated and frightened and had undergone treatment for it, but it had followed him even to NCIS where Gibbs had been given strict orders to keep Tony undr observation, and to rport anything remotely looking like depression, "Someone tried to kill you" Gibbs breathed again.

Gibbs's phone rang and he picked it up, dazed from the news he just had discovered. "Gibbs" he answered.

"Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs! Guess what! Guess! Come on!" Abby's excited voice came through the phone.

"Abs" Gibbs growled.

"Aw shucks, never any fun with you, is there? Okay, listen, even though there was a TON of evidence, the thing is, I found something I.. well.. it's.. semen" Abby said quietly, almost whispering into the phone. Gibbs sighed.

"Go on" he said.

"You're not surprised? What if I tell you it isn't Tony's?" Abby asked hesitantly.

"I know it's not Tony's, who's semen is it?" Gibbs asked.

"How did you.. you know what? Forget it, okay, it's someone from the Peoria district, but he lives in DC now, and I found someone else's semen too, he too from Peoria, I don't ge-"

"Abs" Gibbs simply said.

"Right, they're criminals, Jake Jefferson, and Chucky, no last name, like Cher" Abby said.

"Good work Abs" Gibbs said and hung up. He looked at Tony. "We know who did this to you" Gibbs said, "And I'll make them pay, promise" Gibbs finished as he watched Tony's sleeping form on the sofa.
