Thank you so much for all of the reviews and for alerts. As you all know, they feed the muse.

He answers simply. "DiNozzo."

"I owe you a five course meal at the restaurant of your choosing." Is what Marco tells him.

"Spill Marco. I want details the profilers are a captive audience, they are sitting on the edges of their seats.

"Where are you?" Marco asks knowing full well about Tony's warped sense of humor.

"On the way back, someplace over Kentucky I think." Tony replies with a shrug.

"One of these days Tony your sense of humor... " Is as far as Marco gets before Tony interrupts him.

"I know Marco, but we've both seen what happens if you can't let go of the darkness."

"Your right." Marco says softly. "First of all, your friend the former cop says you owe him and that he will settle up with you later. He saw the perp gave us a description right down to brown shoes."

"Did you get him?"

"Your plan worked to perfection. Carol-Anne played her part to the hilt. I think she liked it a bit too much in fact."

"Go on." Tony encourages.

"She walked into interrogation, tight pencil skirt with like three inch spike heels on and a crisp bleached white shirt on. She reached up and touched the string of pearls that she was wearing. Then she jumped down my throat about my wrinkled shirt and loosened tie, just like you instructed us to do. I apologized to her over and over again before she told me to get out of her sight, that I sickened her and I was a disgrace to the police force. I could tell, just her being an alpha he was getting angry, he was straining against the cuffs and the vein in his neck was bulging. It was beautiful Tony, just beautiful."

Tony laughed in response, and Marco kept going "So Carol-Anne sat down across from him, crossed her legs and started drumming her perfectly painted nails on the table staring him down, and then she arches an eyebrow at him before asking 'So what's the matter with you? Did the little girl in kindergarten take you crayon away from you? Or maybe you the first girl you tried to screw laughed at you? But please don't tell me that your mother didn't love you that's what all scumbags like you are saying now.' Tony I swear I thought this guy was going to break the cuffs keeping him down. He literally started growling at her, growling. And she didn't break character at all, she just stared him down. One of the guys that works here, Gavin, his part was to bring her a folder so he taps lightly on the door and she literally barks out 'what' he enters the room shaking like a leaf which was hysterical because he was only shaking because of the little show we were putting on but it worked out amazingly. She snatched the folder from him and told him to find something productive to do with his time. It was at this point that the perp lost his verbal filter, and started cursing her out, and telling her he was going to make her suffer like the other bitches.

"After that it was easy the guy wouldn't keep quiet. And before you ask we gave him his rights in English, Spanish, and French. Then we asked him if he understood and if he would like his rights repeated in another language."

"I'm glad it worked out for you Marco, but I wouldn't use that method again."

"Understood. And one more thing Tony and I'm sorry about this, Gibbs came in like." Marco stalls looking for the right words.

"A bastard throwing his weight around." Tony suggests.

"Yeah like that, one of the unis let it slip that you were the one that gave us the tip. And he got worse. Yelling that it was his case and we should have given the tip to him. I don't know how you can work for him."

"What did you tell him?" Tony asks deflecting perfectly

"I smiled and gave him the file, told him to take it up with the D.A. , and wished him a nice day."

"You are a brave man."

"He said he was going to fire you. Before he stormed off. I'm sorry."

"Don't be, I'm not. The way I see it your female victims and their families come first. The captain was single, she had no sibling her parents are no longer living, she lived for her career. The living come first, if he does fire me I'll have a job before the day is over."

"Yeah, and who would want to hire your sorry ass?" Marco asks laughing.

" Just to name a few, Tom Morrow over at Homeland, Fornell at the Bureau and well I do have a standing offer to be your sorry ass boss."

"I forgot about that one." Marco says softly.

"Cheer up I might just finish up my degree and really sleep a whole night through. I wonder if can remember how to do it."

"I remember what sleep is, Micky is teething and he is not sleeping so no one is." Marco shares with him trying to lighten up the conversation.

"Take your wife out to dinner and we'll call it even. I'll even baby-sit I hear tell that pizza crust is good for teething I'll bring extra for Micky."

"I'll get a sitter you get a date and we can go together."

"I jut let me know when Kemosabe." Tony answers getting ready to close the call.

"Seriously Tony go take a vacation, you need to get away from him him that man is toxic. Go see family, hell go see my family, in Rome, I bet they fix you up with a nice Italian girl with curves to spare. Tony go get that bastard out of your system, clean break.

"Not a bad idea. I've never met the DiNozzo part of the family. And Rome does sound nice."

"How is the hoity-toity part of your family?"

"Still the same, old money, old name, longing for the past as least my cousin is."

"You could go stay in England and work for SIS. Just another alphabet."

Tony closes his eyes and gets control of his temper. "You have a big mouth Marco. Let me know when you want to go out."

"Sorry man, I'll call you." Marco say softly the closes the call.

He looks at Hotch and can see the man has a ghost of a smile on his face. "You knew, abut the offer from SIS?"

"You can add the BAU to the list of offers you have." Hotch tell him ignoring the question.

Tony nods his head in silent thanks. "He'll show up not long after we get back, if he isn't already waiting."

"We know." Reid tell him.

"I forgot, you're bloody mind readers."

"Not really, it's behavior that we study."

"You profiled him."

"Yes we did." Reid says happily.

"He'll have to get through us to get to you." Rossi informs him.

"We'll put JJ up front she has a mean right hook." Morgan tells him with a real laugh.

"Maybe we should let our Kitten loose on him first." Rossi suggest.

"That would be mean Dave, very mean." JJ counters with a smile.

"She would not leave a trace, no blood to clean up either." Hotch reminds them.

Picking up his cell he schools his face and waits. "How can I help you boss-man?" Is the cheerful greeting that everyone hears.

"We are going to have visitors, from NCIS have some coffee and some of your cookies ready in the round table please."

"Are we being nice or are we making a point not to mess with us?"

"Both, Penelope."

"Anything else?"

"Have one of the junior agents help you clear out one of the empty desks near Reid, stock it for Agent DiNozzo get him a name plate too."

"Okay not a problem. Hotch?"

"S.S.A. DiNozzo. Garcia."
