Hello NCIS fans it's me Timothy McGee.
I just want to clear up a few misconceptions about me.
First of all yes I know I spend a lot of time at my desk while Gibbs, Tony, and Ziva are doing all the action. Well I happen to prefer desk work. I am much better at it and I have stopped as many bad guys and saved as many lives by hacking computers, tracking cellphones, and cracking codes as the others have kicking down doors and chasing down suspects.
Two yes Tony does tend to pick on me but in a brotherly way. Yeah he calls me names sometimes and picks on my personality but trust me that man would die for me and if anything happened to him I'd be heart broken. Not rejoice. Plus I am not exactly nice to Tony all the time and sometime I do deserve it. Also admittedly I do sometimes lead him on.
Three yes I do feel underappreciated sometimes but so does everybody. Trust me remember that cyber job last year? Well it was higher pay and what I love doing but you know what it lacked? My family. Sure I could have made new friends but it wouldn't be the same. If I was really as miserable here as you all seem to think I am. I would have jumped on that job or one of the at least two I am offered a year that I always turn down. The only reason I considered that job was the honor but I'd rather have family then honor.
Forth yes I know I never go to Gibbs's while the others except Ziva have. Well with my allergy to sawdust Gibbs's basement isn't the best place for me. if we need to talk we meet in the elevator and pull the emergency lever. It's all good. I know Ziva has never been either for personal reasons as well but she has never given me the specifics. So I don't ask.
Fifth yes Gibbs bonds better with Tony and Ziva than me I don't know why he just does. Well Tony I think is because they are so similar and Gibbs wants to live vicariously through him. I know he bonded with Ziva almost right away and I don't know why but it is private so I don't ask.
Finally about the explosion. Why the hell do you guys seem to want me to have been severely injured? Not cool! Yeah I would have gotten attention but for all the wrong reasons. If I get attention from the team I want it to be for something good. Like taking down a terrorist ring by hacking an IP. Not because I am lying in a hospital bed. Trust me Tony has told me "Probie this is the wrong way to get attention." Also you didn't see what I saw after the Dearing blast. My colleagues lying hooked up to machines burned and battered. In comas or crying out in pain. Families keeping vigil in the waiting rooms of the trauma ward and ICU at Bethesda. Hoping against hope that their husband, wife, sister, brother, son, daughter, grandchild, niece, nephew, mom, dad, grandparent, friend or in-law would pull through with little damage. Some receiving the worst news of all. Hearing kids ask near impossible to answer questions. No I don't want that and I would never wish that on my family, friends, and co-workers.
Well thanks for reading I hope you understand. I am a grown man I can take care of myself. Don't worry about me I am fine. If I weren't you will be the first ones to know. Well actually Gibbs and Tony will probably find out first. If you need someone worry about Ziva and Vance they are really hurting and need help. I can't imagine what they must be going through. Vance losing Jackie on what was supposed to be a romantic night. Ziva losing Eli the guilt she must feel.
