Sorry for the delay. You know the drill, not mine, never will be. I make no money from this, I only get reviews. And they are like chocolate they are good for my muse and my ever expanding hips. I want to thank everyone who reviewed and added me to their alerts.
They got off of the elevator with Hotch leading one by one they follow him through the glass doors and into the BAU.
"I'll show you the way to your desk agent DiNozzo." Penelope says as he greets they at the doors.
"Thank you." he tells her simply
She showed him the desk and then set him up with the template for the report that he has to write. She also showed him where the coffee counter is then she handed him a mug of his own. A white mug with his name on it. "If you need any help just whistle, you know how to do that don't you? You put your lips together and blow."
He walks back to his desk shaking his head slightly with a real smile gracing his face.
"Tony, something wrong?"
"No not at all, Penelope is just never mind." He answers then starts in on the report that he had to write. It was the first time is ages that he can remember that he is only responsible for one report and no extras.
"Spencer are you sure that I don't have to write any more reports, equipment used, gas mileage, expense reports?"
"We don't do any of that Hotch, and Morgan do." Reid answers.
"Lucky us." Tony mumbles then continues on with his report humming softly to himself.
Not long after Hotch comes over to him. "Here see what you can do with this." He says as hands Tony a case. I want to see what you come up with for a profile. And no it is not a solved case it's a current one."
"Yes sir." Tony says as he takes the file.
Hotch takes a quick detour down to Garcia's office after a quick knock he enters it. She looks up and he can see that she is still grieving, her smile still doesn't reach her eyes as much as she tries. It's only been four months and he knows that she feels more than the rest of the team. He so wants her to find the peaces she seeks, she has so much love to give.
"Gibbs is on his way. Can you do your thing with cookies and coffee. I'm going to come in after a few minutes."
"YOU want him to stew and you want me to play nice with him? Or am I just going to feed his anger?"
"See you're learning. You sure you don't want to learn to be a profiler?"
"No thank you, you profile the sick puppies and I'll profile the computers they use."
"Deal." he tells her with a slight smile.
"Hotch do you remember how to tap into the cameras so you can see what happens in the round table from your desktop?"
"Yes, I had a good teacher."
He makes a quick call to Morgan to come and get Tony he wants him out of the bullpen and getting a temporary FBI badge is as good a reason as any.
Rossi has been around long enough to know when he is needed for subterfuge so get looks out of his office window and watches. When he sees his Kitten for Penelope will always be his Kitten, to him. Someone that needs to be protected and kept from harm.
He joins her as she carries a tin of cookies as well as the supplies for coffee. He takes the small tray that is sitting on top of the tin of cookies.
"I'm going to start the coffee. I saw Agents Gibbs and McGee get out their car in the parking lot."
"So you hacked the security cameras?"
"I did no such thing! I have full access to any and all security cameras in the building. Well mostly."
Hearing her admission Rossi laughs slightly. "I'll make the coffee you put the cookies on the table. Then I want you to meet agent Gibbs at the elevators be your sweet self and bring him here. Tell him that we will be right with him."
"You're as bad as Hotch, I get it play nice, super nice."
'Good girl. I'm going to Hotch's office."
She doesn't have to wait long by the elevator. When Gibbs gets off he is fuming with anger. Penelope tells security that she'll take it from here. "Agent Gibbs? I'm Penelope Garcia I'm the technical analyst for the BAU. Agent Hotchner asked me to show you to the round table and to tell you that he will be with you shortly. If you'll follow me, you too agent McGee." She says sweetly before she turns and starts for the glass doors.
Once inside the round table McGee sees the large plasma on the wall and the small remote sitting in the center of the table. Off to the side he sees a coffee machine and a stack of coffee cup.
"I just made coffee, there are cookies on the table too help yourself."
Gibbs looks at her and glares only to be smiled at all the more. He pours some coffee and takes a long drink from his cup.
"I'm sorry it's taking so long the team just got back for a case and they are finishing some report and some are going to meetings. Is there anything that I can help you with? I mean I assume that you are here to get a profile for a case you are working on? Or maybe some information that the FBI has?"
"No case. No profile." Gibbs barks back at her.
"There is no need to yell at me Agent Gibbs. I'm only trying to do my job." Penelope replies softly.
"Then do it?"
"I am. I was told to stay here and make sure you were comfortable, would you like some cookies?"
He just growls at her and watches as McGee reaches for a cookie for himself.
"We'd better get in there. If he hurts her in any way there won't be enough of him to send back." Rossi tells Hotch.
"Agent Gibbs I understand that you wanted to see me?" Hotch says as he enters the round table with Rossi by his side.
"Not you, I want to see MY agent, Tony DiNozzo." Gibbs replies as he stands toe to toe with Hotchner.
"Hotch you wanted to see us?" Reid asks with DiNozzo and Morgan entering the room behind him as the men separated each needing their own space in the room.
"Hi McGee, Gibbs, did you miss me?" Tony asks smiling broadly as he looks at Gibbs and McGee.
Gibbs turns and raises his hand to slap Tony only to have his hand encased in a large brown one being help tightly in midair.
"Let him go Morgan, please." Tony asks as he looks at Gibbs,
