At first all she did was lean her head on his shoulder and shed a few tears but then before Toby could stop her she looked back at the body, and the first sob broke, as soon as he noticed she was looking at the corpse, he grabbed her head gently and pulled her into his chest, she continued sobbing uncontrollably, Toby's main worry was Spencer so he wasn't paying attention to anything else going on in the room, but he could vaguely hear Mrs Marin's voice as she screamed for someone the call 911, then called reassured her that he already had, he also noticed more people getting farther away from the where the body was hanging which was understandable, nobody wanted to be close to it- him, the ones that made Toby upset were the people who kept staring at them, who looked directly as Spencer, he could almost guess what was going on in their heads, people were probably deciding if they felt bad for Marco or not, since he had just slapped his wife across the face and apparently everybody knew about it.
Spencer's sob died down slowly until only Toby could, the police should've been here by now, somebody had to take that body off there, once Spencer felt she was calmed enough to look up from Toby's chest, she stared to pull away from his embrace, Toby didn't seem to like the idea though because as soon as he felt that was gonna break the hug, he just hold her tighter "no, spence, you don't wanna look again honey" he said rubbing her back in a lame attempt to try and make her feel better as if a tight hug would somehow fix all of her problems, and for the first time since he last tried to do that, it didn't work.
Less than 5 seconds later, police sirens were heard, after them, corener's walked in, Toby saw his boss, lieutenant Tanner come over to him, she knew he'd want him to work, but he couldn't leave Spencer, he had a more important responsibility with her, once Tanner walked over and called Toby's name, Spencer looked up from his chest, this time he didn't stop her but he did shift his body to make sure she couldn't look at the body, she make her be facing sideways, and he didn't loose his embrace on her, nor did he ever plan on doing so, before Tanner started speaking to Toby she gave Spencer a look, noticing all the make up running through her face as did so many tears and her whole face was red, she looked terrible, not terrible as in ugly because that's imposible, she's spencer, terrible as in broken, as in she's going through so much that you can see it in her face terrible, Toby felt guilty for a second because he was looking at her too, she probably felt like ahe was being judged and Toby kicked himself for not thinking that trough, he then tighted his embrace around her running his arm up and down her's in a reassuring way, he could feel her relaxed when he did, it also made Tanner look away from the heartbroken girl's face.
"Toby we could use a little help"
"I just-" Toby says indicating towards Spencer to make it clear that she wasn't gonna leave her alone.
Spencer wanted to intervene he wanted to tell him that it was okay, that she would be fine, that he should go do his job but she wouldn't have really meant it, she didn't want Toby to go, she wanted to stay in his warm embrace because regardless of everything that was going on that's where she felt the most safe, even if her husband's dead body was hanging from the roof in the same room, as long as Toby held her everything got a bit less bad, you might even say better, so she didn't intervine, she didn't tell him to go because she didn't want him to go and perhaps that was a little selfish but she believed she had the right to be a bit selfish after what had just happened, She and Marco dated for a year and were married for almost 4 years, he loved her and cared for her for almost 5 years and today, today of all days he hit her, he's never done it before and she didn't think he ever do it again (now she was sure he'd never do it again) but it was still something that couldn't be ignored, it also didn't change the last 6 years when he was a genuanily nice guy or the last 10 minutes, you know since his body had literally fallen from the ceiling, he was dead, gone, she was a widow now, and she couldn't really think about whether she was still mad about that slap or not because her husband was dead now, and the last thing she ever said to him was "I don't wanna talk right now" or something like that, the last time she saw him all she did was get away from him, was be upset with him because he hit her, was run off with Toby and away from Marco.
"You guys should go over to the restaurant while we take the body" tanner said giving Toby some kind of unspoken signal that said "specially her"
Once they go to the restaurant area which was right over the lobby, you could actually still see the body depending on where you sat, there wasn't even a door dividing the restaurant, the lobby and the new bar (the old one used to be next to the restaurant), Toby sat her in chair that was facing away from the lobby and sat right in front of her.
A few tears were still running down Spencer's cheeks slowly and silently but they were still there
"You okay?" Toby said handing her a bunch of napkins
"I don't think so"
"That's fair"
"Toby, thank for not going with Tanner just now, it really means a lot to me that you stayed by my side, i really need you"
"Anything for you" Toby said holding her hand
