When Gabe does speak again, he doesn't have to say that Monty almost killed him. Horatio knows them both well enough to figure it out: that neither of them would have pulled any punches in moments of fury and high emotion. And this was quite possibly the worst-case scenario for both.
"Nice work," he says first, in regard to the stitches. "I'm guessing he was too pissed off to even listen."
