She got up off the floor and went into the kitchen when she heard her work cell ringing. They could hear her talking but only hearing one side of the conversation they knew they would have to wait for her to come back in order to find out what was going on.

She returned with a more coffee, after handing the pot to Gibbs she sat down. "Nothing to worry about. I just have to work tomorrow in the tech center."

"You work in the tech center? I wouldn't have thought you would have to." Tim asks.

"Sometimes, John's son gave everyone in the family the stomach bug. I don't think the suits would be happy if he brought the bug into the building, do you?"

"No of course not, but I thought you worked for the BAU."

"I do but sometime I cover if they are shorthanded. It also gives me the chance fine tune some of the programs that have updates in the works. I love writing new programs too, it's a twelve hour shift so it helps to fill the time.

"I didn't know you still wrote programs." Abby says with a shocked expression.

"All the time Abby, as the need arises. Which means I need a favor from Tony?"

"What favor Penelope?"

"The security company is coming tomorrow to install the security system, can you come here and do your watch them like a hawk thing. Cameras outside all four corners of the house and the back yard and front walk way. Cameras in the house are the living room/kitchen the hall and the office."

"I can do that for you, no problem."

"Thanks, maybe while your waiting you can build the porch on my doll house or install the wiring for the lights."

"That house has a lights?" Savannah asks

"Yes, foolish I know but wait until it is all lit up. It will be amazing."

"What about a plumbing?" Derek asks straight faced'

"Don't be a donkey! Who in heaven's name would put plumbing into a dolls house?"

"The same person that wants lighting."

"You're not funny. Wait until Christmas I'm going to get a Christmas tree that lights up with tiny candles light fixtures. I've seen it, its looks beautiful."

Ducky can't help but smile hearing Penelope. "I sure it will be, did you know that the very first Christmas tree in England.. . ."

Gibbs and Hotch look at one an other then stand, each one of them with the same thought. It was time to leave or Ducky would start one of his long stories.

"I think it would be best if you save your history lesson for another time Dr. Mallard, I'm sure that Will would like to take JJ home before their son gets out of school." Hotch tells him smoothly.

"I'd like to get Derek home as well." Savannah added.

"Of course how very foolish of me to forget they should rest after the car accident they were in today."

The two couples along with Reid left after being shooed out by Penelope, after she declined their offer to help clean.

"Kitten about the furniture." Rossi says as he rubs his chin.

"I know what I want, I just haven't had the chance to get to the store yet. I will soon, no worries."

Abby takes over rinsing the cups and glasses after watching her do it with just one hand. She leaves the stacking of the dishwasher to Penelope.

"Thanks Abby."

"You need a dog around here. I can get you a one I work with a shelter."

"Not fair to the dog Abby I'm not here long enough to walk one. I'm a getting two kittens. They are from a no kill shelter, I've already picked out my two, the female looks like her mother a beauty long black hair angora,. The male carbon copy of its father as far as they can tell, his mother is an orange tabby."

"Have you picked out names yet?" Ducky asks.

"Yes, Nick and Nora, the female is a beauty high class an high maintenance just like her mother. The male looks like a tomcat. A bit rough around the edges but very attentive and tender with her. I will be picking them up next week after they have been fixed and chipped."

"Very good, I think you will enjoy coming home to your new family members."

"I think so to Ducky."

"Tony do you need a ride or are you staying here?" Abby asks.

"A ride please, I don't have any clean clothes with me."

"I can drop you off if you like, we can talk some more." Gibbs suggest.

"I'd like that Gibbs." Tony answers with a smile.

"Give me a second I'll get you a key to the house." Penelope tells them.

"You don't have a key?" Rossi asks genuinely surprised.

"No." Is the answer that Tony gives, an answer that carries no heat at all.

She comes back before anymore questions can be asked. "Here is the key and the code to get into the office."

He looks at the slip of paper and sees six numbers. "Do these numbers mean something?"

"Why don't you ask Hotch sometime?"

"What time do you have to in tomorrow?" Tim asks still dumbfounded that she will willingly cover a shift.

"Six A.M. hopefully it will be a quiet day."

They watch from the parked cars as Tony kissed her good-bye , then stand there just long enough for the door to be locked before he moves away.

Tony waits until Abby and Tim leave before he asks Hotch, after showing him the slip of paper. "So what do the numbers mean?"

"That was the date we made her an offer she couldn't refuse." Hotch answers with a sly smile.

"What?" Gibbs.

"She's a hacker Gibbs more dangerous than McGee could ever dream to be. She left a trail she wanted to be caught." Hotch informs him.

"She's on a list, only a handful of people in the whole world can do what she can with a computer." Rossi tells him gloating with pride that she is with the FBI.

"Why isn't she with the CIA then?"

"They're afraid of her she can't go anywhere near their computer or in their buildings" Hotch tells him.

"Did you know, what she did?" Gibbs asks Tony.

"No, she never said. I love the lady and I'm not going to destroy it by digging into her past, when she is ready she will tell me."

"But you are dating?"

"Yes we are dating, movies, dinner, I go see her plays. She watches me play ball, walks on the beach and hanging out."

"But what about?" Ducky asks.

"Sex?" When he sees the older men nod. "Not yet, she has been and badly hurt before. I intend to marry that woman, so I am in no rush. So does that answer all of your over protective questions about her."

"For now. Just remember if you hurt her."

"I now you'll have Morgan beat me up." Tony replies with a chuckle.

"Oh no, Tony. Morgan will never have the chance to lay a finger on you. I'll just feed you to fishes, remember just like Luca Brasi." Rossi answers then straightens his tie.

"Funny man." Tony says then swallows before he looks at Gibbs. "Gibbs if you ad Ducky are ready, I could you some over the counter pain pills."

They didn't linger after dropping off Ducky, they went straight to Tony's new home. Gibbs parked the car but didn't say anything he took a deep breath then looked at Tony

"You want to come in for some coffee?" Tony asks Gibbs.
