Another Tim fic. Hope you like it so far and review.
McGee walked slowly through the halls of NCIS. He was constantly thinking about Kate and how they had barely any time to get to know each other because he had practically just started. Tim thought of her like a sister, someone he could talk to and be there for him when be needed help. Tony was a great partner, once you got over his outward personality and the constant jokes. But you couldn't really talk to him about important things without him turning it into some sort of sick joke.
McGee was completely lost in his thoughts when he realized he was walking towards Abby's lab. Instead of turning around he decided to see how she was doing. Kate and Abby were close and Tim knew she wouldn't be handling well.
Tim walked into Abby's lab and saw her sniffling at her computer. He approached her slowly and cautiously. He had never seen Abby like this and he had no idea how to handle it. "Abby?"
She spun to face him and he could see the mascara lines run ing down her face. Abby had since stopped crying but she was obviously still upset.
Without warning she flung herself into Tim's arms and they hugged tightly for a few minutes. "I'm gonna miss her so much, McGee."
Tim stroked her hair comfortingly. "I know. I'm gonna miss her too."
The two stood like that for a while when Abby pulled back and smiled sadly at him. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye Tim saw something glint in the light outside Abby's window. On instinct he pushed Abby to the ground and was going to follow but an ear shattering sound echoed through the lab. Tim looked up and saw that the lab window had been shattered and then he heard a gasp and he immediately looked towards the sound. Abby was starring at him with horror in her eyes and a hand on her mouth.
Tim was about to ask her what was wrong when he felt a stabbing pain in his stomach. Looking down he saw a large blood spot that continued to grow on his shirt. Suddenly the realization that he gad been shot flooded into Tim's mind and he collapsed to his knees. He instinctively put his hands on he wound and began to collapse further when he felt hands lower him to the ground. Opening his eyes he saw a blurry Abby. She was leaning over him and saying something but he couldn't hear what.
Then the lab began bustling with people. First Tim saw Gibbs and Tony and Ducky but just managed a glimpse of two paramedics before he lost consciousness.
Abby gasped in horror and right after Tim fell to his knees, holding his gun shot wound. Abby lunged for him and managed to lower him the rest of the way to the floor. "McGee? Stay awake. Your gonna be okay." She looked up when she heard someone call her name in a panicked voice. Gibbs stood in the door way, panting. Then his breathing seemed to stop all together when he saw McGee. "Aw hell, McGee." Gibbs rushed to the kids side and put pressure on the wound. With the other hand he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Tony call 911 and tell them to come to Abby's lab." "No Tony, Abby is fine." "McGee was shot." The phone call ended and Gibbs began to talk to Tim.
