CHPTR 9-Criminal Minds + Tony
"Okay everyone since we've exhausted all our leads, there is nothing for us to do here. You have the day off until something comes up or someone thinks of something." Agent Hotchner said to his team.
Reid turned to Morgan "Hey want to join me and Tony for our James Bond marathon? He already said it was alright."
Morgan smiled "Love to pretty boy. Lead the way."
Reid addressed the rest of the team "Actually he invited the whole team if you guys want." They all cheerily agreed, happy to be doing something that didn't involve real murders.
They were half way through the third movie and Reid was snuggled up with Derek on the floor in front of the bed, Hotch J.J., Emily, and Rossi were on the bed (platonically yeah pervs), and Tony was flirting with Garcia in the corner. She had already asked several times if they could keep him.
Garcia was playing an MMORPG, the same MMORPG that Tony knew McGee played. "Hey you can chat on this thing right?" Tony asked, leaning over Garcia's shoulder.
'You bet yah, my spiky haired angel. Anyone you got in mind?" Garcia smiled at the ex-agent. Tony frowned, he wasn't sure if McGee would even be on, let alone what he would say to him. He quickly covered his frown with a wide smile.
"Could you get a message to my friend? His username is Master Thorne. Wait!" Tonys exclamation caught the entire teams attention. He hadn't thought of it till then but McGee would probably be able to trace the message back and find him. Not that he expected McGeek to be looking, but Abby sure as hell would be. "Would he be able to trace the message back here?" Tony asked tentatively. The others (excluding Derek and Spencer) were looking at him with confusion.
"Nobody could hack me; I don't care how good they are." Garcia replied.
"um thanks, Just tell him I'm okay and to stop looking for me." Tony looked at his hand; he couldn't stand to see the suspicion that would surely be on their faces.
"Tony?" Reid was at his side, comforting hand on Tonys knee. "Want me to tell them?" Tony shook his head. He was going to have to talk about this eventually. Nothing stays buried forever.
Tony sighed and looked up, eyes on the way instead of anyones face. "That's okay." He addressed the rest of the room with his next statement. "I was…am in love with my boss, ex-boss. For reasons that are difficult to go into, I thought he loved me back. So I made a move, and he told me he never wanted to see me again. And as to his wishes, he never will. I left that day and even got rid of my phone just to make sure my coworkers wouldn't find me and convince me to go back. Because I know if they did that I wouldn't even hesitate." Tony let out a long sigh and looked at the special agents surrounding him. They all just looked sad and sympathetic. When his eyes landed on Garcia he saw the tears in the corner of her eyes before she wrapped him a giant hug.
Tony leaned into the embrace. They stayed like that for a moment before he pulled back, she let him go reluctantly. She turned to her laptop and sent the message.
