Bring It On Home To Me - II

"Well.. Either way, I'm probably bruised to high heaven," Tony said ruefully, remembering the hard fall from earlier that evening before they go to his place. He had soon removed the neccissary articles of clothing and given them to Gibbs to bag, and sure enough, his torso had quite a few bruises. His chest, had the worst of them. Tony reached around behind him and snatched the blanket that was resting on the corner of the couch, wrapping it close around him.
 
Before Tony could cover up, Gibbs took a few pictures for evidence, "Don't worry, DiNozzo, Didn't get your face" as he watched him cover up, and sat in front of him, "Sleep, I'll call Abby over to pick these up"
 
"She'll want an explination.. Ducky and McGee know now, and she'll probably be looking for one, wondering why she's processing my clothes if anything," Tony mumbled almost incoherently as he lied down, curling up on the couch. "Thank you, Gibbs.."
 
"We'll tell her their mine, until you feel up to telling her what happened" Gibbs said as he collected everything into a box.
 
"What are you going to tell her in terms of 'what happened to you'?" Tony then asked, opening his eyes and shifting his head a bit to look at Gibbs again.
 
Gibbs shrugged his shoulders, "I'll tell her that I got in a fight, and lost, and I want to nail the son of a bitch"
 
Tony seemed a little bit more awake at this point. He shifted so he was propped up onto an elbow as he looked at Gibbs. Tony felt like quizzing the other man. "How will you explain the bruising not looking like punches, the fact that you lost and were a Marine, and how you are at my place instead of yours with the clothes you were wearing on earlier today? She'll probably also come to a conclusion that those clothes look like mine and not yours. Fingerprints could come back as mine, arousing more suspicion."
 
Tony sighed for a moment as he thought. He hated when he did that for some oddball reason. "Well.. If she doesn't draw connections beforehand, we mind as well out and tell her," he said with a slightly strained tone. "As long as too many people don't find out, and the Director doesn't get too involved, then it's okay."
 
Gibbs looked at him, and tilted his chin, and put his finger under Tony's and made him look at him, "The director will never know"
 
Gibbs leaned forward and kissed Tony's forehead, "Now will you sleep, and I'll wake you when Abs gets here"
 
Tony chuckled a little when he said that, knowing Gibbs was getting fed up with him going against sleep. "Okay, okay.." he said before pulling one of the throw pillows under his head and lying down fully. It was almost instantly after he'd shut his eyes that he'd pretty much passed out.
 
Gibbs smiled, and then went to his cell phone, and called Abby, told her to get to Tony's as soon as she was finished with whatever.
