Here is the next chapter, as always I own nothing but my own debt and the ideas my muse feeds me. Thank you all for the reviews and the support for this story.
Tony didn't move away from Gibbs once Morgan let go, in fact all he does is smile and take a step forward as he reaches for a cookie.
He takes a bite savoring the flavor before he says anything. "Thanks for the cookie, Cookie." He tells Penelope all the while looking at Gibbs.
Penelope has been in enough plays to know what a cue is when she hears one. "Next time I'll make you my special ones, you've earned them."
"I'm looking forward to it. I've heard they are delicious, worthy of a gold metal."
"Enough with the cookies." Gibbs barks. "I want to know why you gave that tip to the LEO"S instead of us, we had a dead Captain."
"Simple, three living victims are more important than one dead captain."
"What living victims?" Gibbs growls.
"Didn't McGee tell you? Or didn't he bother to check were the LEO's alert each other and other law enforcement agencies about particular violent crimes. I mean they have their own web page and I showed him how to log on, he even opened his own account."
Gibbs turns and glares at McGee. "Well?"
"I , I didn't see the need we always get all the crimes that deal with the Marines and the Navy." McGee replies.
"These three women weren't in either, they were viciously raped and beaten. They had their hair cut off and the same note was put in their pockets. Their only sin according to the rapist/murder was they were alphas in places of power in their jobs."
"You still should have told me."
"You have all the finesse of a bull in a china shop, the witness and the victims wouldn't have given you the time of day."
"There was a witness? Why am I just hearing about this now?"
"He didn't witness the murder just guy walking away after he got rid of the captain's body."
"I want his name." Gibb demand as he grits his teeth.
" Won't do you any good. Besides the rapist/murderer wouldn't have confessed to you." Tony told him simply.
"I suppose he would have confessed to you then?" Gibbs challenges.
"Not me to me either. He spilled he guts after he was played by a very nice female policewoman."
"Who did you get Tony some floozy of yours?" Tim asks condescendingly.
Hearing this Hotch and the rest of the BAU are understanding more and more about Tony and the conversation they overheard on the way to the last case.
Tony shakes his head no then without any anger or verbal retaliation. "Actually Tim, Carol-Anne is a sweet, beautiful lady who is married and the mother to five boys and one baby girl. She also happens to be the secretary to the captain in the drug unit, not to mention she is has a black belt in jiu-jitsu. She is a fantastic cook too. Her husband is one lucky man, he also has one hell of a hook shot. I've tried to teach you make friends with the LEO"S."
He looks at Gibbs and see that the man is on the verge of slapping him or Tim. So he pulls out a chair for Penelope to sit and one for JJ as well. He stands next to Morgan but still within striking distance of Gibbs.
"She made him angry enough that he threatened to kill her, Gibbs. It's want we wanted, the only was he was going to talk was if a woman put him in his place. My buddy came told her she did a great job and ordered her to go back to her desk. She thank him and called him sir. That's when the rapist/murder lost it, it was perfect they got the confession and between the D.A. and JAG he'll never see the light of day again."
"If you like playing with the LEO's so much why don't you back to them. You're fired! I'll expect you turn in your weapon badge and to finish all of your paperwork." Gibbs growls. "And Don't expect any recommendations from us, you'll never work for another agency not if I can help it."
Tony just smiles and reaches for another cookie then winks a Penelope. "I did the paperwork before I left, the last case I worked on , the weekly reports, the monthly I also did the quarterly mine as well as yours. As for the badge and weapon Director Vance has them I was issued new ones here."
The more he smiles at Gibbs the more irritated Gibbs gets. "Oh I already cleaned out my desk before I left, just in case this assignment was extended. I mean I don't have much but I didn't want it to come up missing. You remember Tim? Like my mug, stapler, and the letter opener."
"Good luck finding a job DiNozzo, no one like to work with a over the hill frat-boy jock with only a Phys-Ed degree and a BA at that. Maybe you can go walk a beat I'm sure you can still do that." Tim tells him his voice full of disrespect.
"Agent DiNozzo will not have any trouble finding new employment. As of an hour ago he completed his Masters in Police Science. He will be working here at the BAU, and we are lucky to have him." Hotch tell him.
Tim just looks surprised at what he is hearing, he shakes his head trying to clear it, not quite believing what he is hearing. "No way he would have bragged about it, going back to get the degree."
"Gentlemen if there is nothing else we have to get to work Serial killers and Psychos never rest." Rossi informs them with a cordial smile.
Gibbs nods his head then barks out. "McGee." before he turns quickly walks out.
"McGee keep the antacid and pain reliever you're going to need them, remember don't flinch. One more thing if you need help with a report or file, just call me."
"Thanks Tony. I'm. . ." Tim says softly.
"Go on before he blows a gasket." Tony tells him softly. As angry as he is with Tim he would never leave him floundering without back up.
Hotch watches as Tony sits his mask slipping for only a moment before snapping back in place. "You shouldn't have lied to him about the degree, he'll have McGee check."
"You have met out secret weapon haven't you?" Morgan asks motioning to Garcia.
"I told our Kitten to get the sealed file for the undercover work you did, and bring it to the powers at be, they made a few phone calls to confirm, everything." Rossi explains.
"Remind me never to get on your bad side, any of you." Tony tells them.
"Back to work, DiNozzo you work on that profile I want to see what you come up with."
"Yes sir."
"Tony." Hotch says as Tony starts to stand.
"Sir?"
"Hotch will do. You're doing fine, I won't head slap you."
"No he'll just bury you in cold cases." Reid sighs.
"Cold cases?" Tony says as his eyes light up. "I like cold cases."
"Come on Pizza man I found you a tablet all of your own."
"You lead I'll follow, Cookie." Tony says as he smile a real smile that reaches his eyes.
"Cookie, huh?"
