Tony and Lassiter quickly made their way out of the hotel and across the street to the police station. During the journey Tony's thoughts began to connect. If it was Abby that Shawn was with then it was his team that had been called to help investigate the serial killings. Which meant that Gibbs was here. He had seen Gibbs in the elevator. Tony quickened his steps, Lassiter keeping pace.
They entered the Station at a near run and skidded to a stop at the front desk. The desk sergeant was a younger officer that reminded Lassiter of McNabb in the way he smiled up at them in greeting. "Can I help you?"
"Yes, did you see which direction a man with stupid looking brown hair and a girl dressed mostly in black went?" Lassiter asked. Tony shook his head at the description, though accurate it was also fairly rude, which now that Tony thought about it was very accurate description of the man himself.
The officer frowned for a moment but the smile made a quick return. "Oh you mean Abby and the psychic guy, his names Shawn right?" Tony quirked a brow, psychic? That was new. The officer continued on. "I saw him arrive; he went to the conference room in the back. I overheard him during his psychic vision. He said the unsub was a cop." At this the man's smile disappeared again only to make a quick reappearance. "He told me I was going to meet the love of my life soon. He and Abby left for coffee an hour ago. I think one of the detectives on the serial case told them of a good place."
Something just snapped in Carlton's brain. When Shawn had come to tell him about the hotel arrangements there had been a cop loitering nearby. At the time he had assumed the man was waiting for one of the coroners but now. One thing stood out in his mind, Shawn was in danger from a serial killer. To be precise, he was in danger again from another serial killer. These thing need to stop happening. Lassiter turned to Tony to and told the agent of his suspicions. Tony's worry grew with each word.
Tony and Lassiter thanked the officer for the information and went to inform the BAU team.
They found the entire team still in the conference room with a few local LEOs and the mossad/NCIS agent. They went immediately into explaining their theory. "We have reason to believe that the unsub has captured Shawn Spencer and Abby Sciuto." Tony stated. "I was supposed to have lunch with Shawn and he didn't show. Since then we have been unable to contact either of them."
"That's not a lot to go on." Hotch replied crossing his arms, full attention on the new possibility the men had presented.
"It is when you add in what Spencer's vision." Lassiter countered.
Dr. Reid's head popped up. Derek looked at him and chuckled. "Not you kid." Reid blushed and went back to reading out of a file.
Ziva stepped forward. "Do you mean the man who had a kit?"
"You mean fit, Ziva." Tony said before realizing who he was talking to.
"Tony!" Ziva gasped. She stalked toward him, stopping in his personal space. "This is for making us worry." And she pulled back her arm and punched him in the face. Tony stumbled back a little and rubbed at his jaw.
"Ow. I left a note. It said not to worry."
Ziva humphed. "Like that stopped us, especially Abby. She was convinced that you had been coerced and were being held captive."
"Well now she's the one in trouble. I saw a cop loitering about the two of them before they left. Shawn did say it was a cop that was your unsub and he's not normally wrong." Lassiter was getting tired of this; they were wasting time.
One of the local LEOs approached Lassiter. "I told them about this coffee place around the corner. They said they would head there. We should go check and see if they even made it." Lassiter nodded.
"Okay, you two and Agent Rossi should go check that out. The rest of us should try to figure out who our unsub is." Hotch stated and the team went into a flurry of motion. In all this commotion nobody noticed Gibbs arrival. The agent had spent 20 minutes searching Tony's hotel room to find any clue as to where his senior agent went only to get a call from the front desk saying he had left in a hurry with another man. It ran through the man's mind that Tony had seen him and was running again, but who was the mystery man with Tony? Gibbs headed back to the station to question the BAU team and find another lead on his love. Only he arrived back to find Tony with the BAU looking slightly panicked. He was paler than normal and already a little thinner than Gibbs remembered.
Gibbs walked the way he had been trained in his sniper days. Not a soul noticed him till he was directly behind his target. "DiNozzo." Gibbs growled. Maybe not the best choice as it caused Tony to jump and turn quickly, almost losing his balance. Gibbs reached out to the younger man grabbing his upper arms to keep him steady.
"G-Gibbs!" Tony squeaked out. His eyes widened comically and Gibbs couldn't help the smile that broke across his face. "I um I…."
"It's okay, relax. I'm not mad at you. I was wrong. I thought you were using my feelings for a quick lay. I'm sorry Tony for my reaction." Tony stood awestruck. Gibbs had apologized. He was tempted to look about for flying pigs. A goofy smile took its place on DiNozzo's face. Taking this as forgiveness, Gibbs leaned in and kissed Tony. The young agent froze at first but soon relaxed into the kiss. The bliss of kissing his secret love was enough that he didn't notice the darkness start to flood his vision. Gibbs pulled back just as Tony went limp. He had passed out. "Tony!"
He quickly set Tony down on the couch tucked into the side of the room. "I don't think he's been eating, at least not that I've seen." Spencer spoke from over Gibbs shoulder.
