Hey guys, for any of you who have read any of my past works, I write discipline stories. To be clear that is non sexual spankings of adults in this case. It has been a while since I have published anything so I may be a little slow at getting back into it! Please forgive any errors, and let me know what you think about this particular story. Should I remove this or continue on with the second chapter. This story is designed to be two chapters, three at the most. I look forward to any feedback. If discipline stories are offensive or you do not like them, please hit the back button now :) Otherwise, read on and enjoy!
This takes place in Season 11 Episode 3. There is an already established family dynamic with the NCIS family.
Credentials…
Tim McGee arrived at the NCIS Office frantically looking for what? Dinozzo was watching from his desk as Probie was opening every drawer on his desk with a pained expression on his face.
"What are you looking for Probie?"
Tim sighed, "My credentials. I couldn't find them in my apartment this morning. I have no idea where they are. I was hoping they were at my desk, but clearly that is not the case."
"You lost your credentials? That's almost as bad as losing your weapon! You still have that right?" Tony questioned.
"Yes, and if you continue to pester me I'll use it on you!" Tim snapped back.
Tony dropped his voice to a whisper, "Have you told Gibbs yet?"
McGee looked sick, "No, I have to report it to I.G. and I need to tell Gibbs too. You know how he feels about lying. Omission is the same as voicing a lie."
Tony thought for a moment, "Why don't you wait before you report it to IG, and to Gibbs for that matter. They will show up. Where is the last place you remember having them?"
"I had them at the concert last night with Abby, and I couldn't find them this morning," McGee recounted.
About that time Gibbs rounded the corner, "Grab your gear, got a dead marine."
Tony and McGee were getting the gear out of the back of the NCIS truck after arriving on scene. Tony grinned as he watched the obviously new police officer checking identifications thoroughly. He felt sorry for McGee, but I was in his nature to enjoy watching him squirm sometimes.
He chuckled and told McGee about the rookie officer. McGee watched as Tony made a big production of showing the rookie cop his credentials with his picture identification. He actually posed for the officer, holding the picture identification beside his face. The police officer lifted the tape to permit Tony entry. Tony smile and winked at Tim. Tim rolled his eyes at Tony.
McGee looked distressed but had an idea. He gathered up everything he could hold in his arms and put a note pad in his mouth. He mumbled to the police officer who had no idea how to view McGee's credentials without inconveniencing the agent. Besides that he had just watched McGee exit the same NCIS truck with Agent Gibbs and Agent Dinozzo, so he felt comfortable allowing McGee through. He raised the crime scene tape and allowed McGee through.
Tony had been watching everything from the other side of the tape with a grin. As Probie made it through into the crime scene Tony clapped, "Well played my friend, well played."
McGee shot him a dirty look as they proceeded forward to process the scene. He was relieved he made it through, but couldn't help but wonder how many more times he would be lucky before Gibbs found out. He debated telling Gibbs right then but thought better of it. Tony was right. They would show up…Right?
Once back at the office, Gibbs had to do a follow up interview at the pentagon.
"McGee, gear up your with me. We are going to the pentagon," Gibbs directed.
Tony was standing right beside McGee, and it started to feel awkward. He knew there was no possible way Probie could get into the Pentagon without showing his credentials. This was not like fooling a rookie street officer.
McGee stuttered, "B-boss. Ummm Abby needed some help in the lab. Yeah, she uh asked me to help with the ummm reconstruction of the explosive. I think I should stay here and help with that. I m-mean if that's ok with you and all."
McGee was a bad liar on his best day when he was prepared, but this was horrible. Gibbs was looking at his youngest boy with a look of disbelief, but he refused to call him out. He was not sure what was going on, but Tony and McGee had been trading glances with each other all day.
Gibbs then studied his oldest. Tony was finding the floor very interesting. He knew McGee was lying too, and he knew what it was about; that much was obvious.
Gibbs then answered, "Yeah, sure. I'll just go. Go help Abbs."
Once Gibbs was inside the elevator Tony stared at Tim awestruck, "Did you just lie to the all knowing Gibbs?"
Tim cringed, "I did. It was stupid wasn't it?"
Tony was still in disbelief, "And you know he knows Probie. You suck at lying, and I wasn't even prepared to back you on that."
"He knows doesn't he?" Tim inquired.
"Ya think Probie? Yeah, he knows. You better at least make part of your lie true, and go help Abby in the lab. I do not envy your conversation with him later. He is going to want you to come clean on your own. If he finds out a different way…" Tony trailed off.
Tim nodded in understanding. It was already going to be bad enough for him as it is. Gibbs had made it clear several years ago, his expectations of his team and the consequences if they failed to follow his rules. Tim just broke a major rule, he LIED to Gibbs. That rule didn't even have a number. It was an unwritten rule. There were a couple of unwritten rules, and they had to do with respect and proper treatment of the family. Tim was screwed.
Tim was back at his desk when Gibbs returned from the Pentagon. He finally went with his original plan before being influenced by Tony, to just tell Gibbs.
Tim looked around the office, Tony was at his desk. He made eye contact with Tony then looked at Gibbs. Tony nodded in the affirmative.
"Hey Boss," Tim started.
Gibbs looked directly at Tim, as if he were looking straight through him. He knew Tim was scared to tell him what was going on, but he needed to be a little intimidated right now. After all he had lied to him.
"What is it McGee?" Gibbs said impatiently.
"Yeah, ummmm Boss, I uhhh lost my credentials…" Tim trailed off.
"You did what? Have you reported this to IG Tim? This is serious son," Gibbs said. He didn't know what Tim was hiding, but he was not expecting this.
"Ummm, not yet Boss, I wanted to tell you first," Tim replied.
Gibbs now understood why Tim did not want to tell him. This would bring an investigation on him, and at the very least result in suspension for the agent at work.
Gibbs nodded. "Is this why you suddenly had to help Abby earlier?" Gibbs asked feeling the anger and disappointment rise within him. It was sinking in that Tim had been avoiding him most of the morning and why.
Tim thought it best not to lie, and nodded in the positive.
"A verbal answer Tim," Gibbs demanded quietly, but firmly.
Tony was watching this whole interaction from his desk and cringed at the last directive. He could hear the disappointment and anger in Gibbs' voice.
"Yes sir," Tim said. Gibbs did not bother to correct him. His agents did not call him sir unless they knew they were in trouble.
"Did Abby even ask for your help, or did you unwillingly involve her in this?" Gibbs growled out.
Tim remained silent, just as Abby walked into the squad room. "Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs! I think I know what is going on!"
She looked at Tim then to Gibbs and had an immediate understanding that she had interrupted something.
Without moving his eyes from Tim, "What you got Abs?"
"I was going to show you in the lab," Abby replied in a much less excited voice.
Before moving Gibbs informed Tim, "This discussion is not over son."
McGee swallowed, and watched as Gibbs disappeared down the hallway with Abby.
Tony gave him a sympathetic pat on the back, "Hopefully he will do you a favor and take away your chair again after you finish your discussion."
Tim glared at Tony, Gibbs had taken his chair away from him long ago. It seemed like a life time ago when that happened. Kate was still here. Tim's features softened. He realized Tony was trying to help lighten the mood.
Just then Tony's phone rang.
"Yeah boss."
Tim could hear grumbling from the other side.
"I'll send him down."
Tony looked at Tim, "Boss man said Abby actually needs your assistance with something in the lab this time, and you are to help her until you are needed elsewhere."
It was clear Gibbs was upset. He didn't even think he could talk to McGee right now without losing his temper or letting the entire building know he was upset him, so he had Tony relay the message for him.
Tim felt his heart sink to the pit of his stomach at this realization. He was more determined than ever though to help Abby, and to make Gibbs proud of him again.
Tim knew he was screwed, but he set off to the lab with a new sense of determination.
TBC... Please let me know what you think!
