Finally, part 3. Sorry it took me a while to get it post it. This is the last one, sorry. Part 3 contains a small sex scene (I will mark it as always), language (mostly from Gibbs), a lot of dialogue (I tried to avoid it but I couldn't remove too much without changing the whole thing) and surprises in the end.

So happy reading and enjoy!

Part 3

Two months before his one year anniversary Tony was sitting at his desk looking at his husband's worried expression. Gibbs told him as soon as they arrived at work that his gut instinct was telling him that something bad was going to happen. Both men stayed on guard.

An hour before lunch, Hotch and Rossi stepped off the elevator. Gibbs was on his feet in a flash.

"No. You can't have him."

"Jethro calm down."

"No. I knew something bad was going to happen. I told you we should've just went back home."

"I know Jethro, but Vance wouldn't be happy if we did."

"You're right. I wouldn't," Vance spoke as he walked down the stairs, "Agents Hotchner, Rossi please join me and agents Gibbs and DiNozzo-Gibbs in the conference room."

The four agents followed Vance into the empty director flipped the switch on the scrambler for privacy. He then sat at the head of the table, the others sat on opposite sides.

"Now tell me why you are here, Agent Hotchner?"

"The BAU would like to borrow Tony."

"You can't have him." Gibbs growled.

"I'm siding with my husband. I'm not an object to be used whenever you want need me."

"Tony, you are more qualified for this." Rossi replied.

"I have the same experience as Morgan, same training as Prentiss and almost the same education as you and Hotch. Morgan and Reid were trained by Gideon. JJ was trained by you, Hotch and for god's sake Rossi, you are one of the founding BAU members. Why the hell do you want me?"

"Your experience exceeds all of us, you see things differently than we do. You are almost as smart as Reid, Prentiss and Garcia. You were also trained by Gideon." Hotch explained

"Tony you are a valuable agent." Rossi added.

"You're right his is valuable. Valuable to me. He isn't going with you." Gibbs informed them again.

Vance sighed, "Agent DiNozzo-Gibbs don't make me turn this into an order."

Gibbs stood up slamming his fists into the table. "Damn it Leon. He's not going. Every time, every goddamn time they show up wanting him to help, his life is in danger. First someone shoots him, then there was that crazy asshole who was killing to get his attention in order to kill him. Now you want him to go out there for god knows what. My answer is no. My husband is staying where people I trust can protect him and watch his six."

"Agent Gibbs, Rossi and I are perfectly capable of protecting him. Agent Morgan can as well."

"I don't trust you or your team. While I'm on the subject I don't trust any of the alphabet agencies except for this one and CGIS, and only because Abigail Borin is a damn good agent."

Tony laughed, "And a redhead."

"Tony not now." Gibbs growled.

"Jethro sit down. Hotch explain this case."

Gibbs sat and glared at all of them. Tony just shook his head.

"Children are being kidnapped in South Carolina. So far none have been killed, but the UnSub has done this before."

"What's the pattern?"

"Two kids between the ages of three and six are taken every three years. One boy and one girl, no relations and no specific race."

"What happened to the previous children?"

"Still missing." Rossi answered.

"How far back?"

"Almost fifteen years. Look Tony time is critical, this guy has the boy and right now he's looking for a girl. We want your help before he finds one." Hotch all but begged.

Tony sat and thought about it. He hated these cases, they were one of the reasons he transferred. He also knew that they'll be short a few agents because Hotch, JJ and Morgan make these cases personal. Reid wouldn't be much help because he'll be focused on Morgan. This was going to piss Jethro off.

"Alright I'll go."

"Tony no. Please."

"I'm sorry Jethro. I have to go, they'll be short four agents, if I don't." He explained.

"Damn it no! This is your fucking fault. You, your goddamn team and the fucking FBI." Gibbs yelled pointing at Hotch. "If you had just stayed the hell away and left him alone."

Hotch having enough of the other man's attitude stood up and glared. "I'll remind you that he was mine before you two met. In fact you met because of me. Gideon wanted to send Morgan but Morgan was suspended at the time for punching another agent who made fun of Reid. So you owe me a thank you."

"I don't owe you anything. And he sure as hell wasn't your's"

"He was. I found him, I recruited him and I had Gideon train him. That made him mine, if it wasn't for Strauss and the director pulling rank Tony would still be working for me."

"Like hell, if he hadn't come to me, I was hours away from getting him. Former Director Morrow and SecNav were talking to the DOJ and your former director."

"I didn't know that." Tony spoke softly.

Gibbs looked at his husband, "I told you I fell for you when you tackled me. I wasn't going to let you go. You were mine right at that moment."

Tony smiled, "Good thing I fell for you too Jethro."

"Save it for later." Vance order. "Tony, you are going. Gibbs not another word."

Gibbs glared at Vance and pulled Tony out of his seat. Tony stopped him from leaving the room.

"I'll go on three conditions."

"Which are?"

"One Gibbs, Ziva and McGee are off until I come back. It will stop Abby from calling and so I'm not worrying about Gibbs doing something stupid. Two this is the last time I help the BAU and the FBI or I'll quit my job right now. Three I don't work with any other other agency without Gibbs' approval, just to avoid what happened in this room."

Vance looked at his agents. Tony looked serious and he didn't want to lose his best agent. He also knew that if DiNozzo quits Gibbs, David, McGee, Abby, Ducky and Palmer would too. He looked at Gibbs and saw the smug proud look. He couldn't blame the man, he felt the same way.

"Alright I accept your conditions."

"Thank you. Hotch, Rossi I'll meet you at the airfield."

The two nodded. Gibbs dragged Tony out of the room, they stopped long enough to get their stuff and then leave. The ride home was quiet giving Tony flashbacks of last year.

Gibbs took them straight to their room. He sat on the bed and looked at Tony. His husband smiled at him.

"You know this is similar to last year."

"I realize that. So like last year pack first then drop your pants and get over my knees. I'm going to prep you, spank you and then fuck you."

Tony stripped first, folded his clothes and placed them on the dresser. He packed his bag, taking his time. When he finished he settled himself across his husband's lap. Gibbs had removed his clothes as well.

Gibbs stroked his husband's ass before entering two slick fingers inside his tight heat. Heat worked quickly, thrusting and scissoring a few times. He removed his fingers and started the spanking, he wanted Tony to feel it for a while.

Sex scene starts

He applied ten hard slaps to the tone round flesh and sit spots. They moved and settled on the bed. Gibbs settled between Tony's wide spread legs, he kissed him deeply grabbing the back of his knees and slamming into him. Gibbs broke the kiss and straighten up.

His arms kept his husband's leg spread. He rolled his hips, gripped Tony's and slammed into him again. Soon Gibbs kept pace pulling out slowing and slamming back in.

Tony was going crazy, he wanted his husband to go faster. He didn't say anything because this was for Gibbs. Tony let out a loud moan when Jethro placed several hard bites on his thighs.

Gibbs was close and knew Tony was too. He leaned forward, pushing Tony's legs back towards his chest, rolled his hips again and upped his pace thrusting in and out quickly. They came together. He continued thrusting through the aftershocks.

Sex scene ends

Tony grabbed his husband and changed positions, keeping Gibbs inside while he laid on his chest. Jethro stroked his back.

"I'm not going to say it. But please."

"I will. Don't drown yourself in bourbon and don't kill any FBI agents."

Gibbs laughed, "No promises. I love you."

"I love you too. Always."

"Good lets get a shower."

Tony didn't move right away. He lifted his head and looked at Jethro. "Five more, please."

Gibbs brows furrowed, "Tony."

"Please Jethro"

"Tony no. Lets just get up, shower, dress and go."

Tony sighed in defeat. He knew Jethro wouldn't give him more. He only asked because he felt that Jethro needed more. Gibbs knew why Tony asked and he loved him for it but he couldn't do it. As they showered he marked Tony instead, covering every inch of his neck and collarbone in hickies and love bites. They dressed quickly and left.

The ride to the airfield was quiet. Gibbs didn't get out this time, not trusting himself to be around the other agents.

"I love you Jethro."

"I love you too. Come back safe. Take my vest just so I know your protected."

Tony nodded and kissed his husband one last time. He grabbed his bags and Jethro's tac vest. He boarded the jet without a backwards look. They were all waiting for him. The plane took off ten minutes later.

Twenty minutes into the flight, Rossi broke the silence. "So a few questions. Is your last name really hyphenated? How long are those bites and hickies going to last? And do you need ice for your ass?"

"No my name isn't hyphenated, its now and forever Agent Anthony Gibbs. Vance just adds the hyphen to avoid confusion. The marks will last a few days, I love them and will wear them proudly. And no on the ice. I want to feel this for the next couple of days."

"Okay. So how do you think we should handle this case?"

"Hotch is in charge, ask him."

"Tony we want you to take charge." Hotch replied.

"Why?"

"Like you told Gibbs in the conference room, we'll be short four agents. Its best if you take over." Hotch explained.

"Shouldn't it be Rossi or Prentiss?"

"Not for this case. Rossi will be with me, Prentiss with JJ and Reid with Morgan. You run point."

Tony sighed, "Fine. You do know that I was serious in the conference room. After this I'm done."

"Tony think about..."

"No Hotch. I don't need to think it over, I'm an NCIS agent. Nothing more, nothing less. I love being there, working with Jethro and the others, I don't want to do anything else. You and the entire FBI need to respect that."

Hotch looked at Tony and saw the determine look in his eyes. For the last nine years he has been trying to get Tony back, but Strauss, the director and the DOJ told him it's out of their hands, it was Tony's decision. He didn't like it.

"Nothing we say will change your mind?"

"Nope. I told you last year during the flight to Seattle, I was happy for the transfer. This job was getting to me and I had to leave before it could end me. Gideon understood, he felt the same."

Hotch finally understood what Tony was saying. If he was honest with himself, he felt the same on most days. He understood but he still didn't like it.

"Alright, this is your last BAU/FBI case. You can work solely for NCIS."

Tony smiled, "Thanks Hotch."

The rest of them had no clue about anything that was said. Hearing about this being the last time Tony worked with them upset Spencer. It felt like he was losing his best friend.

Nothing else was said when the pilot announced their arrival. They got off the plane, into the SUVs and drove to the station. They were greeted by the captain, Tony took point.

He shook the man's hand, "I'm NCIS SFA Special Agent Anthony Gibbs, this is FBI BAU Unit Chief SSA Aaron Hotchner along with his team SSAs David Rossi, Jennifer Jareau, Emily Prentiss, Derek Reid-Morgan and finally last but not least Dr. Spencer Reid-Morgan."

"Wow, nice to meet you all. Thank you for coming. Just one question, what is NCIS?"

"Naval Criminal Investigative Services. We're a law enforcement branch created by the President, the DOD and the Secretary of the Navy, to investigate crimes committed against Navy and Marine personnel and their families." He explained.

"Uh-huh and why are you here?"

Tony smiled, "I used to work for the BAU until I met my husband and transferred. I am the best damn agent the entire alphabet government has ever had since Hoover."

The captain raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

Hotch answered, "Yes, its true unfortunately. Agent Gibbs went to a military academy, worked for Peoria Police department, Philadelphia police, the FBI, undercover in Baltimore PD and NCIS."

"That some resume. Lets see if it can solve a fifteen year case." He turned and walked away. Tony smiled at Hotch and followed.

The others weren't sure what just happened, but followed them. After the captain left them, Tony handed out assignments. Hotch and Rossi were going to check out the abduction site. JJ and Prentiss were going to talk to the parents. He, Spencer and Derek were going to stay and go over files. Well he'll go over files, Spencer worked the map and Derek gets more information from Garcia.

JJ and Prentiss came back first, but waited until Hotch and Rossi got back. When the two men got back Tony had everyone sit at the table, he wanted to do things the way Gibbs did minus the plasma.

"Alright one part at a time. JJ, Emily start us off. Tell us about the parents, the home and the boy."

"The child is four, his parents are young, early twenties. High school sweethearts judging by the photos. Both go to college during the day, dad works nights, mom the weekends. During the day the child is at home with a sitter but today his grandmother watched him." JJ started.

"They live in a small two bedroom house, a starter home. Their parents help with the bills. The child's bedroom shows that he is well loved. Toys, bunk bed, even a small table to color on." Prentiss added.

Tony nodded, "Okay. Explain his routine and how it was different the day he was taken."

"His parents get him up at eight. They eat breakfast together, sitter shows up at nine and they leave. Its playtime from nine to noon, he talks to mom and eats lunch. Nap time at twelve-thirty, up an hour later, snack and activity time. Parents home at three, dad leaves at four, then he and mom spend the rest of the night at home." Emily explained.

"When he was taken, his grandmother watched him. Everything followed schedule until nap time. After his nap and snack, grandma took him to the park where his aunt and cousin were meeting them. His grandmother said she looked away for one second to get her phone out of her purse, when she looked back up he was gone." JJ added.

"Alright Hotch, Rossi the abduction site. How did he do it without getting caught?"

"Well we know the child was on the swings. The grandmother was ten feet away on the bench with her daughter-in-law. It was an open area, there was no way to hide and watch and the parking lot had to be fifty yards away."

"Dave's right. Something doesn't add up."

Tony thought about it and tried to connect everything. He then had Spencer tell everyone his findings. He done the map for the last fifteen years.

Spencer didn't like this case. Four children, including the newest one, had been taken from that park. According to his husband two of them had young parents. Then out of all twelve children five of them were living with their grandparents.

"Alright. Now the other seven. What do we know about them?" Tony asked making notes.

"Three were fostered, three newly adopted and the one was staying with social services until they could locate a relative. Her mother was killed in an accident and her father was unknown." Derek answered.

Spencer started with the first six. Telling them that two of them were in daycare, one run by a church and the other was public. The church's teacher reported that she turned around to help another child for two minutes when she finished she looked around and noticed one missing. Everyone searched for hours. The public daycare teacher, left to take a hurt child to the nurse and her replacement went straight outside, she did a head count and came up short. None of the other children had seen anything. She took the others inside and called 9-1-1.

Tony nodded and took more notes when Spencer finished. On a separate sheet of paper he wrote places he wanted to check out later. Following the first rule three, double check, he wanted to see how the UnSub got away. They continued to go over the files for the other children. When he had everything he strapped on Gibbs' vest, grabbed his notes and bag and told them they were going on a trip.

The BAU team didn't question Tony, although they had a few but knew they would get answers one way or another. Hotch admired the way Tony took charge and the way he paid attention to the details. Rossi was feeling a bit like a proud father watching Tony work, it was a shame the younger man wasn't a profiler anymore.

Emily had nothing but respect for the other man, he was a great leader. JJ liked the way Tony took charge, he treated her and Emily as equals. Something the guys on their team sometimes forget to do. Morgan was surprised that his friend could still surprise him. It felt like Tony had never left, he miss having Tony on the team. Spencer profiled Tony, have been since he walked onto the plane during what his friend calls a 'sit-rep.' Spencer found that Tony is just like his husband Gibbs. He is given instant respect, treats everyone equally and is an excellent leader.

He started with the public daycare. He had Derek play the fill-in teacher, the others played the children while he was the UnSub. Tony walked the perimeter of the building looking for weak spots and trying to see what the UnSub did. When he couldn't find anything the first time, he walked it again. Frustrated he walked back to the others and called Derek out.

"What did you notice?"

"You getting frustrated." Spencer joked.

Tony gave him the Gibbs glare, "Be serious."

Spencer looked away, "Sorry. Seriously everywhere around the fence we could see you."

He nodded, "Derek, what did you see?"

"The windows of the classroom face the building next door. It also took two minutes to walk out here, or a minute and a half if she ran."

"Alright. So lets review, the kids could have seen the whole thing, the teacher took two minutes too long, and the UnSub is smarter than we originally thought." He hated to admit that last part. He is going to apply rule sixteen. This guy is going to be stopped.

The rest of their outing was done in the same way, until they got to the park. Morgan was assigned to the parking lot, Spencer the bathroom, JJ was the grandmother. Emily, Rossi and Hotch were the other parents. Again Tony played the UnSub. He channeled Gibbs the whole time.

After walking around a few times he started thinking that the damn guy was either a ghost or a magician. They stood in the middle of the playground, he kept a watchful eye on their surroundings.

"Something about this is really bugging the hell out of me."

"I know. All these spots are near impossible to kidnap someone." Hotch agreed.

Tony went over everything to see what he was missing. The answer finally came to him. He wanted to Gibbs slap himself for not figuring it out sooner.

"Crafty bastard." He muttered.

"What was that?" Morgan asked.

"Our UnSub is a crafty bastard."

"Why do you say that?" Emily asked.

"Let me ask you one question. Who do children trust besides their relatives?"

"Teachers." JJ answered.

Tony nodded, "Keep going."

"Oh I know," Spencer spoke, "Cops. Parents tell their kids to trust cops."

That got the others to start talking at once. He let them talk among themselves for a bit. They needed a profile but didn't have enough to form one, so he decided to channel Gideon.

They went back to the station. He went straight to the conference room, where he laid everything out.

Spencer watched his friend stand and look at everything, he almost looked like Gideon. Tony could always do things the Gideon could, he was sometimes envious of that. Right now he was happy to see it.

Morgan looked at and knew he was doing things like their mentor. Derek always wondered how he could do that, but never asked because he wanted to figure it out on his own.

Hotch looked at his former agent, he thought that if Gideon was here he would be proud right now. Hotch was proud of Tony, always have been.

Rossi was thinking of ways to get Tony to continue working with them. JJ and Emily talked quietly among themselves observing the men in the room.

Tony felt like shooting something, he couldn't find a single thing to pull a profile from. He needed to hear the team's input. They needed to work fast, it was late and time was running out.

"Alright before I get arrested lets try to pull together a profile. Hotch you start."

Hotch nodded, "Okay, we know he's pretending to be a cop but we don't know why. Maybe he's unemployed or employed by someone who wants him to kidnap children."

"He could be a former kidnapped child who was raised by his abductor. That person taught him what to do." Emily replied.

"You know Emily might be on to something. Statics show that almost eighty percent of kidnapped children raised by their abductors become kidnappers themselves." Spencer sprouted off.

"Fifteen years means he can't be too old nor too young." Rossi observed.

Tony looked over everything again while listening to Derek and JJ list their input. Derek thinks the UnSub might of had some practice and JJ thinks the UnSub might be receiving help. He thought they were on to something. There was still one more thing he wanted to see, so he called Garcia.

"What can I do for you?"

"Garcia, its Tony and you're on speaker. Can you see if there are any cameras around the park?"

"Sure. There are four."

"What are the positions?"

"There are two at each entrance to the parking lot. One watches the playground and the ball field."

"Garcia stay on the line, I'll be right back."

Tony didn't wait for an answer. He drew his gun, check the chamber and left the room before anyone could say anything. He went after the captain, who was talking to another officer. Several officers stood up and drew their guns pointing them at him. The captain turned and looked at him.

"Agent Gibbs is there a problem?"

"Did you or anyone check the cameras before you called us?"

"Cameras? What cameras?"

Tony growled in anger, "The cameras at the park. The ones that could have solved this thing without the BAUs help."

"Agent Gibbs put the gun away and we'll talk about this like adults."

"No, the gun stays. Either you answer my questions or I'm going to call the DOJ and the IA. My husband is an ex-Marine sniper, I'm a damn a good shot and I know when I'm being played. So did you or did you not check the cameras before calling the FBI?"

"Agent Gibbs if I knew there were cameras, I would have checked them."

"Bullshit. I know for a fact that town and city officials notify every police precinct when they put cameras up in public areas. So try again. Lie to me again and I'm going to start making phone calls. You and every cop here will be having very thorough background checks done by the IA and DOJ."

"Tony..."

"Back off Hotch." He kept his eyes on the captain, "The cameras?"

The captain looked at Hotch, then back at Tony, "No, we didn't check the cameras. We didn't know it was same person until our mayor informed us. He was the captain before me. He recognized the pattern. We just called you."

Tony holstered his gun and glared. "You would have already had this bastard caught, but you decided to risk another child's life. If he takes another child and disappears before we catch him, I will personally arrest you and your mayor. Then I'm going to call in every favor I have to put this whole damn town under a federal investigation."

He turned and went back into the conference room. Every member of the BAU was looking at him.

"Tony, we need to talk about this."

"Not now. Garcia you still there?"

"Yes I am. What would you like me to do?"

"Look through the video footage at the time of the kidnapping. Can you also show us?"

"Alright. Yes I can. Do any of you have a laptop ready?"

"Mine is, Pen." Spencer replied.

"Okay. Just watch the computer screen."

They all gathered around and watched. The computer tech played the video for them. The playground video made all the difference.

"Garcia pause it, please. Derek what was the grandmother's statement?"

"She said she was sitting on the bench with her daughter-in-law, her phone went off she reached into her purse for it. Looked back up and found her grandson missing."

"Garcia rewind the last five minutes please." She did and played it, "Look there's the grandmother and aunt." He pointed at the two women sitting on the bench, "now watch."

The camera showed the grandmother grabbing her phone, stood up and turned around to answer. The aunt turned to talk to another mom.

"They lied. Why?" JJ asked.

"That's what I'm going to find out. Emily go out and tell the captain to send two, and I do mean two, officers to go and arrest the grandmother and aunt. Rule one, never let suspects stay together. I want them in separate cars and in separate rooms."

"On it." She left without another word.

"Garcia continue the tape, please."

The tape played and showed the little boy running from the swing to the bathroom. A few people went in after he did and after five minutes he didn't come back out.

"Spencer you at the restrooms, were there any other entrances?"

"No there only one way in or out."

"Garcia did you see the boy in the parking lot tapes?"

"No, but I'll go over them again. Run a facial recognition software on it."

"Thanks. Oh and no offense but I'm going to enlist some more computer help. I don't want to overwork you and there are a lot more videos to go over. I want you to stick with the park, check and run facials on this case and the other three. Derek will give you the dates. Thanks Pen."

"No problem. And don't worry I'm not offended, I want this guy caught too."

"Okay, I'll let you talk to Derek." He looked at the man and nodded. Then took out his phone and made the first call.

"McGee."

"Tim its Tony. Are you busy?"

"No. What do you need?"

"Your hacking skills. You won't get into trouble I promise."

"Alright, just give me the information."

Tony gave him the names of the daycares and child services, along with the times and dates of the abductions. "Run facials for any adult in all of them to see if there is one person who was there every time."

"Okay, I'll call you back if I got something."

"Thanks Probie." He hung up and called Abby.

"Hi Tony. I thought you were in South Carolina?"

"I am. Are you at work?"

"Yeah. Things are slow today."

"Great. Wanna help the FBI?"

"Sure. What do you need?"

He gave her dates and times of the second park and gave her the same instructions. They hung up and he made one last call.

"Gibbs."

"Hey its me."

"Tony. Are you still working?"

"Yeah. I just wanted to talk to you."

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"Well let's see. The suspect is damn good, and the police are stupid. I had to make threats that could possibly ruin my career. How was your day?"

"Don't do that. Don't change the subject. Ruin your career how?"

He sighed, "The cops didn't look over the cameras before calling the FBI. Then when I asked about it the captain lied to me, twice. I threaten to arrest him and the mayor and put the whole damn town under federal investigation."

Gibbs laughed, "Is that all? Don't worry baby you job is safe. For the record I would have done the same thing."

Tony smiled, "I know. Jethro I'm worried. We went over everything, nothing gives us a clue."

"Tony I'm not there to help, but I'll try anyways. Tell me about the boy, the new one."

Tony told him everything they seen on the video.

"Did anyone go in after?"

"Yeah two dads with their kids, one teenager and a park employee. The dads had the same kids and the teen was alone."

"What about the employee? What was he doing?"

"Cleaning. he walked out of the female's first then went in the men's."

"Did anyone question him?"

Tony had a light bulb moment the exact same time he wanted to Gibbs slap himself. "You. I love you. I deserve a Gibbs slap right now."

Gibbs laughed, "No you don't but I'll be happy to slap something else."

Tony smiled, "When I get home. Thank you, so much for your help."

"Anytime, you know that. I love you too, now go catch the bad guy."

They hung up, he called Abby and Tim and told them to get the park employee's picture and run it in their search. He did the same with Garcia. Half hour later the three called back and said he was there each time. He thanked Tim and Abby and then had Garcia do a background.

"Sorry Tony. There is nothing on this guy."

"One more thing. Can you de-age someone?"

"Sure. I have that program. How far?"

"Do three through six, then run the picture through missing persons."

"One minute. And got it. Our suspect was known as Caleb Wells. He was taken at three, no leads or suspects. Case went cold three months later."

"Are the parents still alive?"

"Yes and they are local. Information is being sent to your phones."

"Thanks. Can you do two more things?"

"Anything for you sweetness?"

"Run a check through missings, this time for girls. Ages three to six, taken the same day as or a day after our suspect. While running a national search for the same ages, boy and girl, taken the same day."

"Call you when I got something." She hung up.

"Care to share now." Hotch replied.

"Jethro should have been the one to help you. I probably wouldn't have gotten the employee until Tim, Abby or Garcia found him."

"Don't worry about it. We missed it too." Rossi assured him.

"Thanks. Now the next part. Derek go to the park office and talk to people to see if they recognize our guy. JJ, you and Emily go to the parents, be careful when telling them about their son and do it after you get the information. Hotch, you and Rossi talk to the aunt, Spencer and I will talk to the grandmother. We'll meet back here when we're all done."

They all nodded and left.

The team met back up almost two hours later. Tony knew the others were tired but none of them said a word. He knew why, knew that they were pushing themselves to avoid another mishaps like Seattle. They have to talk about that. So when everyone sat down he began.

"Okay first thing first, I want you all to listen to me and listen well. Seattle was a year ago, let it go. We all forgave each other and served our punishments. So let it go. If any of you are too tired to continue, just say so and go check in. Don't push and overwork yourselves because of me."

"Tony we may be pushing and overworking but its not completely about you. We're also doing this to catch him before he grabs a girl." Hotch replied.

"Just don't blame me when this is all over. Let's start with our suspect's past. Jen what did you and Em find out?"

"The Wells were surprised to see us. They told us that they were teenagers, sixteen, when they had Caleb. Mr. Wells was an only child raised by his father who passed three months after their high school graduation. Mrs. Well is the third of four children, her parents are alive and still married. Anyways, both parents were in college and living with her family. The day Caleb was taken he was with his oldest uncle while they were at school." JJ started.

"Seems to be a theme. How did it happen?"

Emily answered, "Caleb and his uncle were at the store, the boy was in the cart. The uncle turned to ask where the children's section was, when he got the direction he turned around and Caleb was gone. The store employee notified his manager who locked the store down and called the cops. They searched for hours and turned up empty."

"Cameras."

"According to Mrs. Wells, she said the manager told the cops that their cameras had gone down the day before and the company's repair tech was fixing them the day of the kidnapping. They even talked to him to confirmed." JJ answered.

"This is sounding a bit planned. Also they were in the middle of a busy store and no one seen a thing, or the uncle and employee didn't hear the boy cry out when someone picked him up. Can any of you explain that one?"

They all shook their heads. He sighed and raked his hands through his hair. This case was one big headache and lacked any kind of sense.

"Well I have some news both good and bad." Derek informed them.

"Bad news first."

"Okay, bad news no new personal information about our suspect. Good news the office manager told me that our suspect works for the park as a seasonal worker. He gets paid under the table."

"Damn. Here's what we'll do, in the morning we'll have the captain assign patrol duties to both parks, plain clothes only. Also for the daycares, pre-schools and kindergarten buildings." They nodded. "And since there is nothing we can do now why don't you all go check in and get some sleep."

"Tony, you need to sleep too." Spencer spoke softly.

Tony smiled, "Don't worry about me Spence. I'm not going to do anything stupid."

"You need to sleep DiNozzo." Hotch pressed.

"Its Gibbs now. I can't sleep, never could, during an ongoing investigation. Jethro doesn't sleep either, he's in the basement working on the boat while I'm in the kitchen baking and going over the case." He laughs, "By the end of the case there are at least five dozen cookies, three cakes, four pies, two breads and at least two dozen or so cupcakes."

"Tony you can live with me." Rossi laughed.

"No, me." Emily argued.

"Sorry you two. I'm a married man and Jethro doesn't share." He smiled. "Now back to the original topic. Go get some sleep, if something comes up I'll call. I promise."

They all looked at him for a moment then slowly they left the station. He sighed in relief when they were gone. After getting more coffee he picked up a random file and began reading.

Early the next morning, after breakfast and getting Tony some, the BAU team went back to the station. They all stood in the doorway at the surprise that greeted them. Penelope Garcia, Tim McGee, Ziva David and Abby Sciuto were talking quietly while Tony slept in his chair with his head on the table.

They looked at each other and none of them knew what to say. The quiet didn't last long as Tony shifted and woke up. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked around. The air around the room became tense and cold as the agent glared at all of them.

"One at a time, you four going to tell me why you are here." He spoke slowly and sternly.

Garcia went first. "I ran that search you wanted. The results were too big to go over by phone. So I synced my laptop and booked a flight."

"Okay you get to stay. Although Hotch may have something to say. Who's next?"

"Tony please don't be angry." Abby begged, "I finished Balboa's case. Then ran a search on your kidnapper when nothing showed up I got to thinking and de-aged him that gave me results. I found a camera footage of his kidnapping. I ran facial of his kidnapper and got more results. I had to come tell you."

She looked down waiting for the yelling. Tony smiled at her softly and put a finger under her chin to raise her head. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. Everyone minus McGee and Ziva were confused at the exchange.

"Abby I am mad but I'm not going to yell. You had a good reason but you went off without calling me or Jethro first. Abby when he finds out I don't think I can be able to help."

"I know and I'm sorry, but it was important." She spoke softly as the tears slid down her pale cheeks.

"Don't cry sweetheart. When the time comes we'll deal with it together." He wiped the tears away and hugged her.

She hugged him tightly and didn't appear to be letting go. So he just held her and rubbed her back looking at his other agents.

"I ran more searches, hacked a lot of databases across the country, hacked Abby's computer when she forgot to call. I found the booked flight, booked my own and called Ziva." Tim responded.

Tony glared. "Probie, did you forget something?"

"Look Tony, I love you like a brother and I wanted to help. Whatever happens I'll deal with the fallout alone."

"No you won't McTrouble, with Jethro yes, Vance no. We don't need you getting transferred for this. I can't have a husband in jail and a dead director. Now your turn Ziva."

"Tim called, said something about flying with Abby to help you. Asked me to tell Gibbs that they went on vacation if he called. Tony, someone had to protect them because you would be too busy and I wanted to make sure they didn't distract you. Besides I can't lie to Gibbs."

Tony laughed, "You three never could. If you three weren't too old I punish you." He thought about that for a moment. "You know what I can. Tim no personal computer time for two weeks. Ziva no punishment for you because you wanted to protect the other two and you were told to lie, which you chose not to do. Tim that makes your two weeks into one month. Abby no Caf-Pow for two weeks."

She pulled away and looked at him in horror and shock. "Please anything but that. I'll take Tim's punishment, or how do you and Gibbs punish each other?"

"You can't have the same as Tim, your life doesn't evolve around technology twenty-four seven. Gibbs gets locked out of the basement, you don't have one. I get spanked, no one and I mean no one is ever going to touch you that way. So you get no Caf-Pow."

"If Ziva was going to get punished, what would you pick?"

Tony smiled. "Sweetheart, Ziva's punishment would have been two weeks of anger management. You barely have an angry bone in your body."

She sighed in defeat. "Fine I'll take my punishment."

He kissed her forehead. "Good girl. Now you, Tim and Garcia can tell us your findings. When you all are done, you're on the first flight home. And no back-talk or I'll double your punishments."

They didn't argue but spent the next two hours going over their findings. When they were all done, Morgan and Rossi took them to the airport. With two of their teammates gone the others worked with the LEOs patrolling the parks. Tony and Spencer took one park and Hotch and the girls took the other. Before leaving, Tony told Derek and Rossi that they have daycares when they got back. The next few hours were critical.

Tony and Spencer kept each other in sight, neither were offended by the gesture. Just before noon it started raining, they pulled back and headed for the station until the rain ends. Five minutes away a call comes in, a guy matching the suspect's description was seen taking a little girl out of a car and into a another. The witness gave the description and location. Tony and Spencer were two blocks away. They radioed the others and went after their suspect.

After a long car chase, the suspect crashed got out and start shooting at them. Tony fired back and shot him in the shoulder. Spencer arrested him and Tony checked on the little girl. They put the suspect in a squad car while they drove the girl to the station.

At the station they were met by Children's Services, thanking them for getting her back. Tony let the BAU handle the suspect, he talked with the case worker. She gave him the girl's history. Her name was Skylar Owens, she just turned five. Skylar lost her parents two years ago, there were no living relatives found. Her foster family wanted to keep her but they found out that they were having twins and their income wasn't enough to raise three kids. Tony felt both sorry and love for her. Like Jethro, he felt an instant love for the five year old. She had long brown hair and stormy gray eyes. She must of felt something for Tony because she hadn't let him go since he pulled her out of the car.

So he asked the case worker how many gay couples adopt. She told him they get a least five couples a week and the children are always happy and healthy. Some couples come back after a year or two to adopt another. With that information Tony told her he needed to talk to his husband, but he was sure she was going to get a call from him soon. They exchanged information and she let him talk to Skylar. Tony told her that he will be back for her and she was going to have a new family. He took her picture then the case worker had to carry her out because she started crying. It broke his heart.

They wrapped up the case and went home. At the airfield Tony, again, told them that he wasn't going to help them anymore. He also told them that they shouldn't wait until a case to talk to him or visit. So they all set up plans to have monthly dinners before going their separate ways.

Arriving home Tony went straight to the basement. His husband stopped working and pulled him into a tight hug and kissed him deeply. They pulled apart and went upstairs. Neither one couldn't get enough of the other, they spent hours in their room. Sated and too tired to move Tony brought up the subject.

"Jethro, do you think about having children again?"

Gibbs shifted and looked at his husband. "Once or twice after we had started dating. Why do you ask? Do you want kids?"

Tony climbed out of bed and got his phone out of his pants. He sat next to Gibbs leaning against the headboard. Gibbs sat up and shifted closer. Tony showed his husband Skylar's picture.

"We saved her today. Our suspect had taken her, Spencer and I were close by. We chased after him, caught him and saved her. Her name is Skylar Owens, she just turned five. She lost her family two years ago and today her foster family gave her up because they are expecting twins and can't afford to raise three kids. Jethro, I want to adopt her. I want to know if you'll be okay with that"

Gibbs looked at the picture, he had an idea of why Tony wanted to adopt her. He felt the same way but he wanted Tony to say it. He looked at his husband.

"One reason. Give me one honest reason."

"I love her. Just like you, when I saw her I felt nothing but love for her. When the case worker gave me her info, I wanted to adopt her right there but I had to talk to you first."

"What if she already had a family?"

"I don't think I would have felt anything. Like I said just like you, fate was telling me something."

Gibbs understood that. Tony was proof of second chances and this little girl, Skylar, felt like a second chance too. He looked at his husband and smiled.

"Alright, we can adopt Skylar. I feel the same way about her as you do."

Tony gave him a big smile and kissed him. "I love you. Tomorrow I'm going to call the case worker and start the process."

"We also need to air out and repaint Kelly's room, or Skylar's room now."

"Really? We can convert the guest room if you aren't sure."

"I'm sure. And when she comes home we'll take her shopping to buy what she likes."

"I'm so excited right now. When do you want to tell the others?"

"We'll tell them tomorrow. Also before or after you, me and the others are going to have a long talk about what happened this morning."

"Jethro I handled it. Can you let it go?"

"No Tony."

Tony sighed. "Fine."

They dropped the subject and moved on to more enjoyable things. Tomorrow was going to be better, even with the lecture.

Epilogue

It was the best and longest three months in the Gibbs household. Today Skylar Owens is going to be Skylar Gibbs officially. Both parents and little girl were happy. The NCIS family and the BAU family, along with Tobias, his family and Jackson were all attending the celebration.

Skylar was excited and happy. She loved her papa and daddy and her big family. She was so scared when daddy left after she first met him, but that went away when he and papa met her and Miss Susie at the the airport. Now she was going to be a Gibbs.

Tony and Jethro were over the moon. They signed the final paperwork and the judge told them Skylar was officially their's. The adoption and name change went through and just before their daughter had to start school.

The happy family celebrated all night. When everyone left and their daughter tucked into bed, Tony and Jethro had their own celebration. Before going to sleep they talked about having more and decided to adopt a boy.

Both went to sleep that night wrapped around each other and smiles on their faces.
