Please remember to leave a nice review and if there are things you'd like to see happen let me know.
CHAPTER 2
McGee sat beside Tony whom was yet again asleep.
According to the nurses he had a restless night, while no longer in danger of dieing still had to cough up all the junk in his lungs to avoid pneumonia which is tiring the older man out.
McGee couldn't help but feel guilty, if he hadn't let Tony grab the envelop he wouldn't have gotten sick, given that McGee would have gotten sick and now that he was thinking about it he isn't to sure he could have survived this...O crap! In some kind of weird abstract way and totally unintentional Tony had saved his life! He would probably never live this down!
McGee had been so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear the door opening until it banged against the wall.
McGee startled drew his weapon and pointed it at a now startled looking woman.
A giant man with dark eyes and dark hair went to stand in front of the woman with a dangerous look.
'You might want to put that thing away before someone gets hurt, mainly you.'
Christine DiNozzo and her brother André had come to the hospital together but when she opened the door it slipped out of her hand banging against the wall startling the man sitting with her sister.
The man jumped up pointing a gun at her, she stifled a scream reminding herself that she's in a hospital.
Her brother stepped in front of her and looked sort of pissed.
'You might want to put that thing away before someone gets hurt, mainly you,' André says chagrined, he doesn't like it when someone threatened his youngest sister.
'I'm so sorry!', the young man in front of them starts while putting his firearm away. 'I didn't mean to point my gun at you I was lost in my thoughts and I heard a bang and it startled me...'
André raises his hand to stop the man's rambling,
'Who the hell are you and why the hell do you have a weapon at a hospital but more importantly in my brothers room.'
'Y-your...brother?'
'Yeah, Tony is our brother and judging from your...geeky...looks I guess your McGee, Tony's description of you was spot on!', Says the woman happily already having forgiven McGee for pointing a gun at her.
'I seriously doubt that...' McGee says. 'But yeah I'm McGee, or Tim if you will, and I can't say that I knew Tony has any siblings.'
'I'm Christine and this lovely gentleman next to me is our older brother André.'
She elbows her brother in the stomach.
'Be nice and say hello André.'
'Don't want to be nice,' André growls still not having forgiven McGee. 'You still haven't told me why you have a gun in a hospital,' he says instead.
'Well ehm...', McGee stutters again. 'I'm at work and stopped by to see Tony on my lunch break,'
'Don't see any lunch here.'
'Well, I wanted to bring some but I remembered Tony saying that the food here is disgusting and knowing him he would wake up if I brought something eatable he would wake up and steal my lunch.' Again..., he adds mentally, looking at the man if he accepted his explanation.
André had to admit, that sounds like his brother...
'Alright then, time to go get actual lunch and I'd keep that gun hidden if I were you.', while McGee is right about what he said André wasn't about to admit to him, he could understand why his baby brother likes to pull the geek's leg, his stutters and ability to go from normal colored face to bright red or deadly pale back to normal is really impressive.
'Right, I'll be going then, nice to have met you...I guess...', he says and nearly runs out the room.
Christine follows him with a pure innocent look on her face.
'I'll come with you, I haven't had lunch yet so I'm due, besides I can make sure that you keep that gun hidden.'
McGee groans, this was DiNozzo's sister alright!
André sits down on the chair next to his brother's bed looking in the eyes of his brother.
'You could have been a little nicer to the probie you know.'
'Could have but I wasn't, you are right though, it really is fun to mess with him.'
'He didn't mean to pull his gun at Chris, you could have told him that it was okay.'
'I know he didn't mean to but it still scared the crap out of me, if he had actually pulled the trigger...'
'I'm not saying that I like that he pointed his gun at you guys, just saying that you didn't have to make him crap himself, that's Gibbs' job or mine in his absence.'
'Now where's the fun in that', André laughs.
Tony laughs with him and ends up coughing up a lung.
André shocked by the force of the coughing helps his brother sit up and slaps him on his back.
'Jesus Christ how did this happen to you Tony?', he asks softly.
'I bet...Gibbs told...you all about...it', Tony says between coughs.
'I want to hear it from you, I might not be a hot shot doctor like Gabe but I do know that nobody gets Pneumonic Plague anymore, I know that you only had fifteen percent chance to live and I know that Gibbs ordered you to live what I don't know is who would want to send you the Plague.'
'Not me, the agency, I'm just the moron that opened it, it was just addressed to NCIS Special agent, I was messing with McGee and took the letter opening it and tadah, here I am.'
André fell silent, that part Gibbs had left out probably figuring out that it was up to Tony to reveal that part.
'Jesus kid, why the hell would you do that, if it had contained something like Anthrax or a bomb you would have been dead!'
'I know, if Gibbs hadn't ordered me to live I don't know if I would have made it...but you want to know something?'
André had to swallow a couple of times at that admission, his baby brother had almost not been under them anymore...all he could do was shake his head at his question.
Tony taking that as a sigh to go on.
'I would do it again André, McGee would never have survived this, he already thinks he's dying when he has a cold, if he had gotten the plague he would have died.'
'What about you Tony, you may not have died but if you had you'd have left an entire devastated family mourning their youngest family member, you matter to fratellino, one day we'll be able to convince you of that.'
'I know that I matter, but I'm his supervisor, Gibbs may be the boss but I'm still the probie's supervisor.'
André sighs, when Tony's convinced of something there is no way of convincing him differently, his brother feels responsible for his probie while on the job and takes that serious.
'I know fratellino, that's what frightens me,' he whispers after a minute, Tony yet again deep asleep.
End note: Yes I know that McGee isn't the mega geek anymore as he used to be but in season two he still was the uber geek we like and love so much if you don't like it, sorry but is is how I saw him at first (and Gibbs probably still sees him)
