After taking Penelope out David got back on his walkie talkie, "Pen's been taken down," he informed Matt and Emily. The older profiler calmly took Pen's weapon and placed it out of reach just in case she decided to try something.
"Copy," Matt's voice said over the radio.
"Roger that Dave," came Emily's voice.
Rossi made his way quickly back into position behind the door, the movement attracted Tara's attention though and she opened fire on the round table room. Rossi just barely was able to pull himself behind the cover of the door before possibly getting shot. A smirk played across his lips at his adversary's accuracy and he let out a small chuckle.
"I'm coming for you Dave!" Tara shouted at him as a grin of determination took over. This was the most fun the team had in weeks made all the better by the smile she knew Rossi was wearing now.
"Tara look out!" Spencer's voice warned as Matt shot her where she was crouched behind Luke's desk.
"Too late!" Matt shouted in triumph.
"Vengeance is mine!" Reid yelled charging the railing and letting a hail of bullets come down in Rossi's office.
"Ahhh!" Matt cried out as one hit him square in the forehead. He dramatically dropped to the ground a grin plastered to his face now. He was having the time of his life and what was better was that the rest of the team also seemed to be having fun.
"Matt's down!" Emily shouted over the radio hurriedly.
"Copy that! Watch yourself Emily," David warned as he fired out into the bullpen before ducking for cover again.
Emily quickly took Spencer out now that he was in the open and all that was left now was Jennifer, Rossi, and herself. Too late did she realize that J.J. had snuck up the steps while she was shooting Spencer and Emily was taken out.
"It's just me and you now Dave!" J.J. yelled and she hopped over Emily's couch for cover. Emily leaned against the wall on the floor smiling up at J.J. and Jennifer returned the smile before carefully peeking out the door.
"Give up now Jennifer!" Rossi yelled over as he barely peaked out the door. Almost immediately a hail Nerf bullets were fired and Dave jumped back behind cover.
"Never! I will not let you win again!" the blond yelled back.
"Come on J.J. we both know I'm going to win this!" Rossi challenged.
"No you won't!" Jennifer said again as she went for it, jumping the couch and opening fire as she ran at Rossi.
Dave counted to three and moved into the doorway placing one well aimed shot to J.J.'s chest taking her out as well. Rossi watched her drop her gun and lay down playing dead, he had to smile at that.
"Make that 11-2!" Dave yelled out in triumph.
"Alright Mr. Marine you win!" Pen said happily as she walked up behind him and gave him a hug, David returned the hug gratefully.
"Thank you," he whispered knowingly.
"Oh it was no big deal," she brushed it off. "No one likes seeing the team dad upset."
"Well thank you everyone nevertheless."
"With that… we must clean!" Emily told everyone as the lights came back on. She immediately started putting the nerf bullets in a nearby tub to be sorted later. J.J. started moving all the couches back as everyone else got bullets and guns together stripping the gear off and throwing everything in tubs.
Rossi got home later that day to his driveway full of the team's cars and he smiled once more. Of course they would all come over for a family dinner, he had a feeling this was all his wife's planning now that he thought about it. Krystall probably knew him better than anyone else at this point in his life and that made David Rossi a very happy man indeed.
"Honey I'm home!" he called out as he walked into his home.
"In the kitchen David!" he heard her voice call out from the back of the house.
Rossi quickly made his way back there to find two bottles of wine open and the team all chatting away. Family, was the first word his brain supplied helpfully and David couldn't help but agree.
He walked over to his wife and gave her a quick kiss, "Thank you mi amor," he whispered in her ear. Dave watched as her smile softened and she pulled him into a hug he happily returned.
"Anytime David. Anytime," Krystall told him before giving him a quick kiss.
Rossi made his way over and grabbed a glass filling it with his preferred bottle of red before taking a sip. A humm of approval rumbled in his chest as he savored the taste and smiled. A second later he looked out across the kitchen at the team happy with how everything had turned out today.
"Well?" Emily asked expectantly.
"Today was an amazing day," he willingly admitted.
"I'm glad you think so."
Later that night the team ate dinner together laughing and talking the whole while. It was just what David needed if he was honest with himself and he was glad they did it. After dinner everyone headed into the living room where a game of Uno insued before a fight over whether or not Luke cheated broke out. Penelope was determined to prove the young agent had done just that despite his protests that he had done no such thing. Rossi had just sat back and laughed at the whole situation and Uno quickly came to an end. Someone then put on a movie and eventually the team lapsed into silence as they watched. It was close to midnight before anyone started to go home and Dave was glad for that. He wanted to spend as much time with them as possible that day and was happy he was able to in the end.
