Sarah McGee has decided to visit her brother after she heard about the last case.

--------------------------------------------------

Flashback

Tim called her late at night after the Emily case.

"Hello…. "

"…."

"Hello?"

"Hey Sarah… It's Tim…" Tim said quietly. Sarah could hear the sniffing behind his shaken voice.

"Tim? What's wrong? Are you alright? What happened?" Sarah could feel the panic building in her as time passes.

"Sorry to worry you. I'm fine, Sarah. Just that the case…" McGee sighs and told her about what happened. "I just want to make sure that your okay. I'm sorry to scare you like that."

"Oh Tim. It's alright. I'm fine here. I'm safe" Sarah smiled sadly. She knows her brother is protective of her.

"Yeah… I know… Just making sure. I feel better confirming it though. Sorry to call you this late. Did I wake you up?"

"Not really. I was just reading. Are you sure you are alright?"

"Yea, I'm sure. I'm sorry Sarah. I think I'm just too tired. I'm heading to bed soon. I'll call u tomorrow okay?"

"Okay, you'll do that. Goodnight Tim. I love you."

Tim chuckles "Night Sarah, love ya too"

He hangs up and lies back on his bed. His sister is okay. She's safe. She's not Emily. McGee stares at the ceiling and moments later he is fast asleep.

Flashback ends

--------------------------------------------------

McGee came out of the shower and is drying his hair with his towel. He walks towards his television and switch it on.

"News… Like what we deal with isn't enough." He changes the channel. It doesn't matter what is on as long as it's not going to further agitate his bad mood. He just needs some sounds and things to look at while having his breakfast. He doesn't feel like making pancakes.

"Cereal it is then." He pours the cereal into a bowl and took some milk from the fridge. Smelling it and confirming it's still edible, he adds the milk into his bowl of cereal. He grabs a spoon and sat in front of his television, towel still on his shoulder.

When he's about to grab the first bite, the doorbell rings. He looks at the time. Which idiot is looking for him at 6.24 in the morning? He growls and put down his bowl on the coffee table. He reluctantly stands up and drops his towel on the couch.

McGee looks through the eyehole. "Crap. I take back what I said earlier." McGee thinks silently. Sarah would probably torture him for calling her an idiot. He swings the door widely.

"Sarah? What are you doing here?"

"Hi Tim. Surprise?" She looks at him innocently.

Tim continues to stare at her like she has grown three heads. She takes his reaction as VERY surprised and walks past him into the living room. Tim snaps out of it and brings his sister's luggage in.

"Cereal? I thought u prefer pancake or bacon and toast for breakfast?"

Tim shrugs "Don't feel like making them. Takes a lot of effort. Maybe you can make them for me instead?"

"I'm not even here for 5 minutes and you made me your maid already?"

"Well, yeah. Oh wait, I forgot. You can burn the kitchen along with your cooking. Thanks but no thanks. It takes more effort to clean up the mess." Tim grins as he teases her. He know she don't back down from being challenged.

"What? I don't burn kitchens. I'll show you that I can cook." She growls and Tim steps aside, letting his sister into the kitchen. Game. Set. Match. His sister is just too easy sometimes.

He stands at the counter looking at her. He cares about Sarah greatly but letting his sister take care of him once in a while isn't that bad. He watches as she fusses over in the kitchen.

15 minutes later, he's served with a plate of bacons, two hotdogs, some scramble egg, toasts and glass of…. orange juice? Since when he has orange juice in his house? The last time he bought that was 2 months ago. He looks at the glass and frowns.

"Eat up big guy. Stop staring at it."

"Orange juice, Sarah?"

"I know you have been busy these days. Even the milk in the fridge has expired. Luckily I bought a carton of orange juice for you."

Tim gulps. "The milk expired? Damn. I didn't even notice it earlier" McGee thinks as he digs into his breakfast.

Sarah wanders into his living room and smirked after seeing his bowl of cereal. He owes her for saving him from having stomach aches. She walks back to his brother. Leaning against the counter.

"Do you even know what soap opera you're watching?"

Tim shakes his head. Sarah takes a good look at his brother.

"Are you alright? You seem a bit pale."

"I'm fine Sarah. Stop being such a mother hen." He finishes his glass of orange juice and wipes his mouth. Tim heads into his bedroom and changes his clothes. He exited his room and look for his sister.

"You're going already? Its only 7am."

"Yeah, I thought I told you. In Gibbs's team, working hour starts at 8am" He kisses his sister on the forehead. "Thanks for the breakfast Sarah. But I have to go now. By the way, if there's no case by the end of the day, we're gathering at Gibbs's house for barbeque. I doubt he'll mind if I bring you along. I'll tell him later, okay?"

"Barbeque? Sounds fun. Who's going?"

"The usual. Tony, Abby, Kate, Ziva and Ducky. Too bad Jimmy is busy though. "

"What are you bringing?"

"Err…. I think I'll just bring over some beers."

"Men…" Sarah whispers softly. Then she looks up to her brother. "I'll make some chocolate cinnamon mousse to bring over for desserts. I think I'll go stock up your groceries as well."

"Cool." He hands her his credit card "You already know how to imitate my signature anyway."

Sarah smirks mischievously. She took the card. "Of course. That's what younger sister does."

Tim chuckles. "I'm really glad you're here Sarah." He ruffles his sister's hair. "And in the meantime, feel free to clean my place."

Sarah grabs one of the cushions and throws at him. She sticks out her tongue. McGee dodges and laughs as he sprints out of the door.

AN: I know there aren't any Gibbs and Tony in this chapter. But there will be in the next =D
