"Hey has anyone seen Gideon?" Aaron asks, looking around.

They all look to one another and shrug, no one has.

"Did he go home?"

"I didn't see him leave. So I don't think so, plus his stuff's still here.

"I'll go see if I can find him." Elle offers and heads off in search of the man, he didn't normally disappear that way.

------

She couldn't find him anywhere after looking in all his normal places. As she walked by Garcia's office she faintly heard what sounded like his voice. She thought it was odd, he never went in there, and he wasn't all that fond of Garcia. "But it's always the last place you think to look" she muttered as she quietly opened the door. Her jaw drops at what she sees.

She'd found Gideon. He was sitting on the desk chair. With Garcia straddling his lap. And they were very much otherwise occupied; the two hadn't even noticed her come in. Trying not to laugh, she backs out of the room silently and heads back to the others.

"I found him."

"Where was he?"

"He was uh…in Garcia's office."

"Why? He's never in there."

"There must be a problem for him to go to her without being dragged in there."

"Sure, if she needed an emergency tonsillectomy."

"What!"

"They are not!"

"Oh yeah. They didn't even notice me come in."

"Well, this is an unexpected development."

"What is?" They all jump at the sound of Gideon's voice.

They stare at him, unsure what to say. His hair and clothes are suspiciously ruffled, and he is fighting a losing battle with the goofy smile on his face.

"What?"

"Uh, how's Garcia." Elle asks, letting him know the jig is up.

"Why ask m-" He stops, pales realizing he's caught. He blushes like a little girl and hates it.
