(Chapter 2 is now up and I hope you enjoy... sorry about the short chapter... i promise the future chapters will be longer)
The Ncis bullpen was buzzing... director Vance was in MTAC, Gibbs was getting the forensic reports from Abby... Tony was sitting at his desk and McGee went down to autopsy to see his old friend.
"Hey Ducky" McGee greeted to the older gent at the autopsy table.
"Ah Timothy" Ducky smiled walking over to the junior agent.
"The camera's have been shut down for 20 minutes" McGee smiled hugging Ducky.
"Ah good my dear boy" he pats the agents back and looks back at the table "i got some of your handywork from last night" Ducky chuckled "at the half destroyed scene we were called to" McGee nodded solemnly.
"i'm sorry Ducky" McGee sat in the seat watching Ducky work on the body. "it's not your fault Timothy" Ducky placed a comforting hand on McGee's shoulder.
"Maybe... Something is wrong though, i can feel them all... every immortal out there" McGee rested his chin on his hands staring at the wall looking troubled.
"Don't you feel them when their close?" Ducky gave a quizzical look taking up a chair in front of McGee. "Yeah but only when they were close... this time though... I can feel them all... all over the world" the agent sighed sadly thinking over the past 500 years of his life.
"What do you think it is... The Gathering?" Duck leaned back in his seat watching the agent's brain work. "No... there are still hundreds of us left out" McGee rubbed his eyes "and that's not counting the ones that are waiting for their Immortality to be triggered"
Ducky nodded "Yeah by a gruesome and violent death" Ducky was filled with worry for his friend. "Do you remember how we met?" Ducky asked.
"Ah my old friend... how could I forget" McGee laughed heartily "
I was reckless" "Reckless?... you charged at a king tiger head on and took its Machine gun and main cannon to the chest... then you got back up and said..." "that's one way to exercise" they both laughed loud. "Yeah and i swear you fainted" McGee laughed smirked. "My dear boy... I deny fainting" Ducky pushed the body into the freezer.
"You and that pompous general did" McGee laughed harder.
Ducky smacked McGee across the head but soon sobered up "500 years"
McGee narrowed his eyes confused "What?" "500 years alone" Ducky leaned against the wall "McGee that's..." Duck was cut off by a groan from McGee. "Not this again Ducky" McGee as about to stand from his chair but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. "You never let anybody in... I got lucky because you were reckless but in the end you were always alone"
McGee listened to him talk and soon raised his hand to cut him off. "Ducky... I can't die nor do i age" McGee's eyes was filled with sadness and pain "you all wither and you die... i refuse to watch the people i love die"
"Oh Timothy... my dear friend... you should know that in the end... everyone dies sooner or later" Ducky was filled with wisdom.
McGee looked at his watched and nodded I better be getting back to the bullpen before Gibbs and Tony send a search party" Ducky chuckled as he watched his friend disappear from his sights.
McGee's mind flashed back to the days where he had thought in battles hard... taking shrapnel and tanks on his own... he couldn't help but gave a slight chuckle before heading back to the bullpen, Director Vance stood with Gibbs at the main screen with their backs turned to him... McGee couldn't help but notice the young lady with the long dark hair 'Probably Kate's replacement" McGee thought too himself as he made his way, bringing his geeky disguise to life bumping into the other agents clumsily muttering an apology as he came closer to his team.
Gibbs turned round and nodded "McGee" and the others turned to face the young agent
"Agent McGee... this is Mossad liaison officer Ziva David" Director Vance introduced the Agent who gave McGee and entrancing smile causing McGee's heart to beat rapidly.
"Pleasure to meet you Agent David" McGee took her hand and leaned over pressing a gentle kiss on her wrist. She grinned as her cheeks reddened
"Wow... Chivalry still lives" she giggled as he stood tall again.
Tony chuckling from the side-lines watching the 2 junior agents getting along... there was a spark between them, no denying it... there was something almost magical between them both. Soon McGee went back to his desk and gave Ziva a welcoming smile before going back to work, but soon a sharp pain rose inside him making him gasp, his eyes closed tight letting his brain do the work... flashes of immortals all over the world living lives... killing for the prize... but soon he saw it... something big was now in Washington...
The game was on.
A Kurgen had come.
