Chapter 2
The fire grew spread faster than than anyone could imagine. After just a couple minutes the whole apartment was engulfed in flames. felt that her surroundings was getting hotter. She opened her eyes slightly and the sight of bright red flame almost gave her a heart attack. She grabbed the pail of water and threw it at her oven but it didn't change a thing it was too late. The drawers on top of her was beginning to fall and she froze to the spot. She was terrified and she tried everything to make her legs move. The drawers started to drop one by one and she started to scream in panic. The drawer just dropped a couple inches from her feet before she passed out and was preparing herself for her death.
In Tim's apartment. Tim heard a scream and that woke him up. He opened his eyes and saw bright red flames around his apartment. He woke Delilah who was sleeping peacefully and she panicked.
"What's happening Tim?" She asked Tim in panic as she began to cough
"I don't know Delilah but we need to get out of here" She nodded and started to reach for her wheelchair but the roof fell in front of the wheelchair making it impossible to reach it.
"Climb to my back Delilah" He said and she nodded. She clung to his back and he started to walk away. He tried to open his door but it was stucked.
"This is not happening" He said and Delilah could sense his nervousness.
"Try kicking the door Tim" She said and he nodded. He kicked the door with all his might and managed to kick the door open. He watched as his bookshelf is caught in fire and all his sofas was burned into ash but he didn't care. The only thing on his mind was to save Delilah. He went down the stairs and he heard a crack on the stairs. He managed to walk down without making the stairs fall down. He opened the front door and managed to get out from his apartment safely. He laid Delilah on the grass trying to make sure she was alright.
"Delilah. Are you alright?" He looked nervously as Delilah was unconscious. Minutes after that, Delilah coughed and opened her red rimmed eyes and she was happy to look at her boyfriend face. Tim smiled widely as he saw Delilah was coming to. He kissed her on the cheek and looked behind as his apartment was engulfed in flames. Then the sound of the firemen talking caught his attention
"There's still a casualty in there on the second floor, the room over here. We can't reach it" They said to each other as they pointed at Mrs. Bergman's room. Tim looked on and tried to find Mrs. Bergman but he couldn't find her. Delilah noticed his anxiety
"What's the matter Tim?" She asked him nervously
"It's Mrs. Bergman. I can't find her anywhere"
"Maybe she got out?"
"No. I don't think she got out Delilah. The fireman was pointing at her apartment and said that there was a casualty there." Delilah knew where this conversation is going
"Please don't tell me that you are going in there" She said almost crying and he just looked at her
"I have to do this Delilah. It's my job" He said and Delilah burst into tears
"Promise me one thing Tim. Don't die and leave me. Please come back safely" She said and he nodded
"I promise Delilah. I love you" He said and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He ran back to the building even though the fireman tried to stop him. He raced through the stairs and battling through burning woods. He managed to reach Mrs. Bergman apartment. He kicked the door and rushed finding her
"Mrs. Bergman! Are you here!?" He didn't heard any answer but luckily he found her on the floor. He went straight towards her and checked her pulse finding a weak and thread one.
"Just stay with me Mrs. Bergman." He lifted her up using his arms and started walking back towards the door.
The ceiling collapsed and some hit Tim on the head. He yelled in pain and dropped to one knee. It made him really Dizzy and blood began to hamper his vision but he was determined to save her. He stumbled down the stairs and fell as the stairs collapsed leaving him with an injured leg. He got up and lift Mrs. Bergman again and started walking towards the door as fast as he could. His leg was killing him and he felt that the world was spinning out of control. But miraculously, he managed to get out in time because the moment he got out. The apartment exploded and Tim collapsed. Delilah watched in horror as his boyfriend fell to the ground. Paramedics rushed to the scene. They lifted Tim and put him onto a stretcher while Mrs. Bergman was put onto a different one. Delilah watched and cried as she saw her boyfriend being put onto an ambulance. A paramedic saw her and asked her
"Excuse me miss but are you hurt?" He asked and she shook her head
"No. I'm okay, a little smoke is all. but could I go with him to the hospital? I am his girlfriend" She pointed at Tim
"Could you help me get inside the ambulance because I am paralyzed and my wheelchair lost in the fire" The paramedic nodded and lifted her up and put her inside the ambulance.
"Tim You will be alright. I am here with you" She said but Tim didn't respond. All she could see was her boyfriend bloody face and her tears started falling on his face.
In 10 minutes, the ambulance pulled into the emergency bay of the hospital bringing Tim and Mrs. Bergman. Both of them were rushed to the ER. Delilah was given a wheelchair by the paramedic and she waited patiently outside. After an hour, she heard a familiar voice behind her
" I came after I saw the news. How's Tim doing Delilah?" She turned around and saw Gibbs standing there. She hugged him and cried
"Tim is still in the ER. He's in there for almost an hour now. I just wished that Tim didn't came back to the building after he got out" She tried to explain
"What do you mean Tim got back into the building?" Gibbs asked taking a seat beside her
"Mrs. Bergman, the landlady was trapped so Tim did what he was supposed to do. He went back in and managed to save her." He heard what Delilah told him and he put his arms around her
"Tim is really brave. He done his job as a NCIS agent. He will survive this. I know he will" He smiled to her and this comforted her.
Moments after that, Tony came followed by Abby and Ellie. Lastly Ducky and Jimmy came. They waited for another 4 hours and finally a doctor came out from the ER. They all went to him and he asked them
"Families of Timothy McGee?" He asked them and Gibbs answered
"It's Special Agent McGee. I am his boss. How is he?"
"Special Agent McGee has suffered a concussion and had bleeding on his brain. We have gone in and relieved the pressure and stopped the bleeding for now, he is still unconscious and we won't know any further problems until he wakes up." The moment she heard the word, Delilah burst into tears and Tony tried to comfort her.
"It will be alright Delilah. It's just a chance"
"But the doctor said that there was a chance. Why does this thing have to happen to Tim" She cried in Tony's arm and Abby started crying.
"Tell me that Timmy is going to be alright!" She cried and Gibbs tried to comfort her.
"We could only hope and pray Abbs." He said and Abby cried loudly soaking gibbs shirt
"How's Mrs. Bergman?" Gibbs asked the Doctor. The Doctor shook his head signaling that she didn't made it
"Mrs. Bergman inhaled a lot of smoke, there was nothing we could do for her" Gibbs nodded and continued to calm Abby
"Can I see him?" Delilah asked the Doctor and he nodded. She made her way to his room. She cried at the sight of Tim's bandaged head and he was lying there lifelessly. She went to his side and cried.
"YOU SAID THAT YOU WON"T LEAVE ME TIM! YOU EVEN PROMISED TO ME! TIM PLEASE WAKE UP FOR ME! PLEASE!" She yelled and cried even more
On the way to heaven
Tim woke up and saw many people walking up a long, winding, golden staircase. He realized that he was dead. He started following them but a couple of people stopped him. It was Director Sheppard and Kate
"Why are you here Tim?" Kate asked him even though she knew the answer
"Kate? I don't know. I think I died"
"But your time hasn't come Agent McGee. You are leaving too many people behind. Looked at them" She showed him the scene of them crying and he started crying. Then he heard Delilah's voice and both of them nodded.
"Go Tim. They need you. It is not your time yet"He nodded and went back
Tony came in and tried to move Delilah away. She was crying but she slowly let him pull the wheelchair back. then she saw Tim's fingers move.
"Wait! I saw Tim's fingers move. Let me go Tony" Tony let her go and she reached and gently took Tim's hands. She felt that Tim was starting to regain consciousness as she could feel the grip of his hands. Slowly Tim opened his eyes and he looked at her
"I kept my promise right Delilah?" He said and smiled
"Tim!" She said and kissed him on the lips while crying heavily. The others looked on smiling and sigh a sense of relieve.
"Promise me that you won't do that again Tim"
"I promise Delilah"
