2) Where did it all go wrong?

1 week earlier…

Abby was not talking to Mcgee. Not after what he did last night. He had stood her up, again. How could he? Why would he do that? She thought, was he seeing someone else? "No" she said, this time out load, "Timmy would never cheat, he's to sweet and loyal to do that" That still didn't change anything. She wasn't going to talk to him, She'd made up her mind. But when Timmy walked in with a dozen red roses she new she couldn't stay mad at this man.

"I'll love you till the last rose dies" he said with a small grin on his face, secretly knowing that he had bought one fake rose.

" And will that be anytime soon, elf lord? She now had a big smile on her face.

" I wouldn't count on it, McGee said. "Abby I'm so sorry about last night, it's ju-"

"it's ok Tim, there is no need to explain" Abby said, her good mood had been restored and she was her chirpy self once again"

"I think I owe you and explanation to say the least" He said giving her a firm hug and kiss on the cheek. " Sarah was in a car accident and was rushed into the emergency room. I was going to call but my cell had died and I knew you would understand ".

He was right, she would understand. She always understood Timmy, they scared a special connection. They always knew if one or the other did something wrong they had an explanation.

"It's ok Tim" she said this time going for a kiss on the lips. "Is Sarah ok?

"yer she is going to be fine, I am going to visit her later on, but how about before that we go to a café and re-try that date? He asked, already knowing the answer.

"Tim I would love that" she said sweetly

They had been dating for over a month, however the secret still remained. Tony was the only one who knew because he kept nagging McGee about it after he saw them together on valentines day.

Flash back

"Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim" tony kept saying, it was actually quite annoying now. He had been bugging him for over two days.

"What" McGee said finally giving in to tony

"You and Abby are dating aren't you"

McGee was quiet for a bit, the next few words he did not choose very well "so what if we are" his tone sounded rather frustrated.

"You are aren't you." He said without giving Tim any chance to say anything. "You're breaking rule number 12, again, with the same person, how ironic"

"Fine tony, we are dating, and if you tell anyone I will hire a personal assassin to take you out do you understand?" There were only 2 people in the bullpen, himself and tony. So if news got to Gibbs he knew two things the first was 'he was dead' and the second 'tony is dead'

Flash back ends

Tim was waiting for Abby as she was finishing off the fingerprint scans. It had taken weeks but they finally had found a break to this long and tiring case. This put both Abby and Tim in an extra good mood for their 'date' so to speak.

They had just entered the café when both their moods had restored to earlier, Annoyed and tired. It was Abby's crazy ex boyfriend waiting for them. He knew hell was about to go on. Ever since Tim and Abby got back together he had been doing all this crazy things. He had stole her mail, stalked her online, sent dead animal to her house, spied on her house, spray painted her garage and even sent her threatening messages saying things like if we don't get back together I will kill Tim. At first this scared her but It had been a month and she hadn't received any more mail. She thought this was a good this. That he was over her, but every now and then a thought came in the back of her head. Was he planning to do something to him.

"Oh my god, not him again" Tim said quite annoyed. He was actually ready to start a punch up with this guy, but he held his anger back for Abby's sake.

"I told you in my last letter I wasn't through with you, no actually the show is really just beginning" he said with a smirk on his face. Her heart sank as she heard those words. She had really started to forget all about Damon. They had dated for almost a year, at first everything was fine and they where such a cute couple but then about three quarters through the relationship things changed. He became quite and started acting rather suspicious. He even had the nerve to physically abuse her once or twice, maybe ever three times. As soon as McGee found out about the of course he went straight over and confronted the guy. The got into a fight and McGee broke demon's nose and he fractured McGee's shoulder. That was when Abby and McGee relationship started to get a bit more serious.

"Why Damon, why are you doing this" she said, sounding a bit confused but also shaken up.

Tim didn't let him answer. "you son of a b-" he began but was interrupted by Damon.

"You have no idea of the hell I'm going to put you through" he started

That was enough to make McGee crack. Sooner than he realised he was on the floor, punching the guys face out.

Abby gave a little shriek but found it quite amusing seeing the guy she despised, who was much more muscular and had a bigger build than Timmy, getting beaten up by the guy she loved.

Soon the fight became more serious, both men sustained many injuries and it didn't look like anyone of them was going to stop anytime soon. All the people around them where staring, not really sure what to thing or do. About five minutes later the fight was still going. Luckily Tony walked through the door. At first he didn't notice the fight because he was looking straight at Abby. Abby gave a slight hand gesture pointing to Tim and Damon. She still had a tiny smirk on her face although she knew she shouldn't. Tony ran straight over trying to break the fight up. He pulled Tim who was now on the top of Damon off him and then went to hold Damon from throwing any more punches. Tim stood beside Abby. Both men were bruised pretty badly. Tim had a big purple bruise covering his eye and several others on other parts of his body. Over all he counted 17, he had gotten 17 bruises from one fight, most of them where purple but there where one or two yellowish ones, he was going to be very sore in the morning. That was nothing compared to what happened to Damon, he had his nose broken again, 3 broken ribs and of what they could see he had at least 21 bruises.

The fight only made him more angry and determined to finish his plan. To seek revenge, to break the couple up, to get Abby back.
