Chapter 2

At the moment Gibbs came through the door Tim was panicking in his mind. He never thought that he would be this drunk and certainly never thought of getting that close of punching someone. As Tim kept staring down in shame, Gibbs closed the door and walked towards him. As Gibbs stand in front of him, his blue eyes gazing on his younger agent. He knew that Tim was hurting inside.

"What the hell were you thinking McGee?" Gibbs asked him while staring at him. Tim kept staring down as he didn't have the guts to look him eye to eye.

"Look at me McGee!" Gibbs yelled and Tim slowly looked up meeting eye to eye with him.

"I-I d-didn't k-know w-what h-happened" Tim said in a trembling voice

"You told me that you were going home" Gibbs said to Tim

"I was going home but I needed to clear my mind for a little while."

"And you think drinking is a good way to clear your mind?" Gibbs said sternly

"N-no. What about you. What are you doing here? I didn't told you that I was coming here"

"I followed you and it's a good thing I did since you lost it."

"Who told you to follow me? I didn't need you to check up on me. I told you I was fine"

"You've been working for me for 8 years McGee. I know when you are lying. It's as clear as day" Gibbs said and McGee shrugged

"I want you to go home and leave me alone" McGee instructed him as he took a seat

"Not an option. I can't leave you especially in this condition." Gibbs said as he took a seat.

"PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE GIBBS. I DON"T NEED YOU HERE!" Tim said in an angry tone. Gibbs was stunned because he never called him by his name before.

"What part of not an option you don't understand" Gibbs raised his voice. Tim was about to answer him back when suddenly he passed out and fell to the floor.

"He's too drunk Agent Gibbs" Sam said as he placed the glass back behind the counter

"You think?" Gibbs said sarcastically as he stood up.

"What are you waiting for? Help me take him to my car" Gibbs ordered while looking at Sam.

He nodded as he cleaned the bar and came out to help

"We each take a side" Gibbs told him and both of them carried McGee to Gibb's car

"He's heavy" Sam told Gibbs and he just chuckled. They placed him on the passenger's seat and closed the door. Sam went back to his bar after he bid Gibbs goodbye. The journey from the bar to Gibbs house was cold as the snow almost covered the streets and cold air blew around outside. After 20 minutes, they arrived at Gibbs house. He parked his car outside and quickly grabbed McGee by the shoulder and took him into his house. Gibbs laid him on his couch. He threw a blanket over his prone body. He didn't want to bothered him because he knew that his younger agent won't wake up until the very next day.

The following day around 9 am. Tim slowly woke up and wondered where he was. He slowly climbed out from the couch and held his head as he was having a migraine

"I knew I shouldn't have drank that much vodka yesterday." Tim said to himself and he remembered everything from he was about to punch Sam and Gibbs stopping him

"I guess I'm in boss house" He said as he stretched out and went to the kitchen.

"Boss? Are you here?" Tim called but he didn't hear an answer. He noticed a pile of clothes with a note on it. It said

Off to NCIS. There's spaghetti in the fridge. Just heat it and change into my clothes on the table. Will be back around noon.

Gibbs

Tim put the note back on the table and took the clothes. He took a quick bath and change into the clothes he was given. He went to the fridge and found the frozen spaghetti. He zapped it in the microwave and started eating it. Around 11 am. He went to the living room and started watching the television. He didn't found any shows that interest him. He went to check on the cupboards and saw a box full of pictures. He took it out and sat on the sofa in the living room. He opened the box and realized. It was pictures of Gibbs and his family. He didn't know any of them but he knew that they were killed by the Reynosa cartel.

"I can't imagine how boss felt losing them." McGee was lost in his chain of thoughts when Gibbs interrupted him from behind

"You found the pictures" Gibbs said and Tim startled.

"B-boss. I'm sorry to bother your things. I'll put them back now" Tim said as he started to put the pictures back but he was stopped by Gibbs.

"Did I say to put the pictures back McGee? It's alright" Gibbs said as he sat next to him. He slowly picked one of the pictures and he smiled remembering the time he was with Kelly and Shannon.

"Kelly was so beautiful. He always asked me to comb her hair every time after she took a bath. Then we would go to the park with Shannon to play on the playground. During weekends. We would go horseback riding at the fields." Gibbs said smiling and Tim looked at him smiling

"Can I ask you something boss?"

"What is it?"

"How did you move on after their death?" Tim asked him while looking at him

"The truth is I haven't moved on. I always have them in my mind but I know that they are in a better place"

"Well you and I are in a different boat." Tim said and Gibbs looked at him

"What happened to you yesterday?"

"I didn't know boss. I was full of anger because my dad left me. He should have went through the operation and shouldn't stopped it"

"Your dad stopped the operation because he wanted to spend his remaining time with you"

"I know that but why? We could have all the time after that if he had done the operation. He would have survived and celebrate Christmas with us" He said on the brink of crying

"You said that the percentage of success is below 50%. Your dad knew that he wouldn't make it the next day if he went continued the operation"

"But still…" Tim was about to finished his words when he was head slapped by Gibbs

"Don't you ever think like that ever again McGee. He made time for you. You should be grateful for it. You don't want to end up like me. I didn't managed to say goodbye to my dad" Gibbs said and he headslapped McGee again. He was startled as he held his head

"And that's for getting drunk last night. If you ever got that drunk ever again. I will fire you. Understand McGee"

"Understand boss" Tim said nodding as he smiled

"Thank you boss for being a great role model for me and being my father that I have never had" Tim said and Gibbs smiled

"You're welcome McGee. You're all my family now" He said as he smiled back at McGee.
