Penelope returns just as Tony is being placed on the stretcher, she can see that the blood soaked towels are on the floor, but it's the body that has her stomach do some flip flops.
"I have no idea what this thing says, it's all in Italian." Swallowing dryly she keeps her eyes closed as she hands the papers to Rossi.
"You didn't get it translated before you came down?" Gibbs asks with a touch of anger in his voice.
"Don't worry about it Gibbs, Tony knows I'm fluent in Italian.
"He had a program set up in his computer that this would be sent to the FBI if anything ever happened to him. He could check in with his smart phone and reset it. I don't know how I missed it."
"Well you didn't use his computer, or did you?" Emily asks.
"Just once I was in his office and I volunteered to enter the delivery and sales information he had for the day. I just did that I didn't snoop, surprisingly."
A smiling Morgan can't resist teasing. "You didn't snoop baby-girl, be still my heart."
"I know, what's wrong with me?" She answers then closes her eyes tightly.
"Garcia who would have gotten the recipe?" Reid asks as he looks over Dave's shoulder.
" S.S.A. Fornell."
"They have history, and Tony trusts him." Gibbs supplies.
Morgan goes to Penelope when he sees her look at the body again, turning pale with a slight hint of green, he turns her away from the bloodily mess on the floor . "Go upstairs make tea, baby girl." He whispers into her ear.
After watching Rossi read for at least five minutes, Hotch and the rest of the team can see Gibbs start to get very impatient "Dave, what's it say?" Hotch asks.
He looks up and into the eyes of a very worried and determined Sally. "Can you and the rest of the staff handle shutting down the place? We are going to need to take pictures and document the scene."
"Yes we can do it. You all go upstairs and do your talking there on one will bother you. I'll take care of the marinara I know just how Tony does it. He said that taking extra care of the sauce makes all the difference in the end."
"He's right, and thank you Miss Sally." Rossi tells her.
"McGee you and Bishop do what's needed. Then meet us upstairs."
It didn't take long they already had the statements from the people in the restaurant once they were allowed to leave the it was only a matter of a fifteen minutes of work. Tony hadn't lost his ability to shoot. His aim was once again on point.
No one from the BAU was surprised to hear retching when they entered the apartment.
"She has a hard time dealing with bodies." JJ explains.
"She'll be fine and once she comes back she'll be able to help us." Emily tells Gibbs after seeing the sour expression on his face.
"Okay Kitten?"
"I'm good." She asks then takes a sip of water.
"Call Tony's friend Matt, Detective Jefferson, ask him to come over. Then dig into officer Joseph Costa's financials
"No need here I am." Matt says as he comes in to the dinning room.
"The witness said that." McGee stops and looks at his notes. " Stefano was bragging that someone named Giuseppe was the informant."
"You have a dirty cop." Rossi tells Matt, talking over McGee frowning at the junior agent at the same time.
"Agent you better have proof of what your saying." Matt replies with anger lacing his voice.
Rossi looks at the man with a glare that most men would step back from. Matt held his ground earning respect from all of the agents. Even Gibbs.
"You know that Tony made a lot of enemies along the way?"
"I know we talked about it."
"He left Philly in a hurry after being involved in a big undercover bust. There was hit put out on him. Except no one knew it was Tony DiNozzo, just his undercover alias. There was a lot of talk and his real name was leaked some how. Tony being who he is kept tabs on things protecting your own ass when you work lots of undercover jobs is just something you do. Especially if you have no backup or very little, he left a file along with some information about a certain Joseph Costa having family from Philly, family that sometime in the past did crossed paths with certain people."
"Holy, Don Vito," Is the loud outburst that brought all conversations to a halt, as everyone turned their attention to Garcia.
" I wonder what my skills set would be worth to them?"
"Garcia." Hotch says sharply as every one else coughed to cover a laugh.
"I followed the money, off shore account, three hundred thousand dollars."
"Are you sure?" Gibbs asks.
"They might have a few good computer savvy people, but I'm better. Yes I'm sure. He also used the computer at the station to check the account. Not a smart thing to do, he didn't even try and hide it, I mean who uses their badge number as a password?" she asks before slipping away.
"Where is his today?" Morgan asks.
"Called out sick." Matt replies softly. He looks at Gibbs then at Hotch. "Tony, how is he?"
"He caught a round." JJ tells him.
"That's not good he had the plague, someone had better call Brad maybe they can do a phone conference or something."
"How the hell do you know Brad ?" Gibbs demands to know.
Matt grins slightly. "After the football game that destroyed Tony's dreams,well all of us in the frat house, got rip roaring drunk and placed a curse on Brad using a doll we made. Mind you Tony was in the hospital and had no idea and we never told him. I'm glad the curse never worked or Tony could have died when he got the plague ."
They all watched as Gibbs pulled out his cell., Pushing speed dial no one was especially surprised when he didn't offer a greeting when the call was answered on the other end.
"Brad, Tony's been shot, caught a round, he is at the hospital with Ducky. Call him would you, please." he closed the call with out saying anything else.
. Even though Gibbs was not his boss, he obediently called Ducky. It would just be easier in the long run. After all Tony would come to his aid in a heartbeat if he ever asked him to.
Penelope walks back with three folders, she gives one to Matt, Gibbs, and Hotch. " I translated all of the information that Tony had, you also have his notes in Italian. You need a real translator that can fix what the program I used missed. I included everything that was found. My statement from what happened earlier when Tony got shot. I'm going to wait at the hospital with Dr. Mallard."
"Kitten?"
She looks at Dave shaking her head at the unasked question. "I'm taking Tony's car. You do what you do, I'm going to go make sure Ducky's okay while we wait, I'll fetch tea for him, call if you need me to search."
"She'll keep us informed." Hotch tells both Gibbs and Matt as they get ready to leave.
"Ducky? I brought you some tea." she says softly before sitting down.
"Thank you, how kind of you Penelope."
"Any news?"
"None yet my child, Bradley did call me I passed the call on to the doctor in charge of Anthony's care."
He watches as her legs start to bounce in place a steady soft rhythm from her heels hitting the floor.. she stops long enough to dig into her large colorful, pulling out a small tin she opens it for him. " Would you like some organic and holistic honey lemon drops. A friend of mine has a store and she makes and sells these, sometimes I drop one into a cup of tea when I have a cold or a sore throat."
After sucking on the small piece of candy Ducky nods his head. "Very nice my dear. I think I shall have to pay a visit to your friends shop, just what does she call them?"
"Queen Bee lemon drops. She has lots of things, you might like even some of her teas. If you want to stretch your legs for a bit or go to the loo, I can text if anything happens"
"I think I will just a short walk, I tend to get stiff if I sit too long."
Having decided to go in softly as to not scare this neighbors on his floor. One fast and hard kick from Morgan's boot on the door and they were in the apartment. Joe came out of his bedroom holding his weapon in both hands.
"Put the weapon down Joe and kick it over here." Matt orders.
Seeing the federal agents pointing their weapons at him, he shook his head. All of his dreams of early retirement vanished in a blink of an eye
The agents held back while Matt cuffed Joe then read him his rights.
Rossi can't help but grin as Matt finishes putting the handcuffs on. "Your out of luck, Tony is alive can't say the same for his visitor from Philly."
"I should have broken in and killed him myself then collected the reward I would have been gone before you knew he was dead." Joe defiantly says as he pulls his handcuffs
Gibbs looks at him and shakes his head. "You would have never been able to spend a cent of it, we would have caught you within hours."
"Right you'll never prove a thing." Joe spits back pulling away from Matt again.
"Did he meet Garcia?" Prentiss asks as they follow Matt out.
"Who the hell is Garcia?" Joe snarls as he tries to pull away from Matt's and Morgan's grip.
"Your worst nightmare." Rossi replies
"Damn good agent, I'm ashamed to say that I had my doubts about her."
A laughing Emily can be heard to say. "Don't worry about it Gibbs, just say you're sorry and you can count her as your friend for life. Or don't then see what she can do to your credit history."
"Please just say your sorry, having to deal with an angry Penelope Garcia is not fun and the paper work goes on for days." A grim looking Hotch tells him
