She did not.
Instead of saying anything, Elizabeth let her husband handle it.
Elizabeth waited while Jaxon and Tony shook hands with everyone.
When he turned his back to Elizabeth, she whistled, and Ivan grabbed Tony by the back of the jacket and yanked him backward.
Ivan liked Tony, but he warned him anyway.
“Give up the spider, or I’m going to strip search you here and then use my other boot to end Morticia’s existence. I won’t like doing it, but the boss told me to get that spider. Make your life easier, Tony. Hand it over.”
When he turned, he held out the spider, giving up.
And it had an egg sack.
“Oh, holy shit,” Elizabeth said, backing up even further so she was not only behind Ethan but Callen too. “Again, Anthony?Do we have to keep doing this? The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again as you expect a different outcome.”
He tried to look confused.
“What?”
She pointed.
“It’s having babies. That’s going back in your rental, and then to your home. It’s not coming inside,” she said, as Ivan held the box out.
Tony stared at Ivan.
“If you hurt one single egg on her…”
He actually pulled his gun off of the front of his vest and held it out like Morticia was going out via lead poisoning.
“You’ll what?”
Tony closed his mouth, fast.
Yeah, the Marines didn’t play. It took a lot to freak out Elizabeth, and she wasn’t happy—so they weren’t happy.
Chris continued so they could get the hell out of here. Even as Tony put the spider in the box, he didn’t want to know what other tricks he had up his sleeve.
Chris wasn’t taking a chance.
He continued.
“This is Benjamin Longfellow,” he said, pointing at the head tech to do the introductions.
As the box was carried back to Tony’s car, the bug man raised his hand.
“Can you crack the window? She needs to breathe too,” he stated.
Oh.
Hell.
No.
“Absolutely not. She’ll crawl out and make her way to my office.NO, ANTHONY.”
As Ivan slammed the car door, the team got acquainted.
