Hey, People! Hope you enjoy this chapter, I enjoyed writing it, but it is rather sad! Please R & R!
McGee POV (Takes place in Truth or Consequences)
"This is going to be very hard Tim, but it's something you're just going to have to suck it up and do," I told myself. I walked to the elevator, entered it, and pushed the button that would take me to the floor that held Abby's lab, "This is going to be only slightly less hard than telling Abby that Kate died!" I thought back to that time.
Abby POV:
I was dancing around my lab to the classical music I had playing, waiting for some test results to come in. Suddenly, I heard a voice that sounded like Tim's, but much rougher, like he had been crying. He said, "Abs." I turned around and saw Tim, like I expected, standing there with puffy, red eyes. He was also still crying. I could tell that whatever he was going to tell me was not going to be good.
"What's wrong, Timmy? What happened?" I asked.
"You better come sit down, Abby." He said. He dragged me over to my futon and sat us both down. He began to sob again and couldn't speak.
"Will you please tell me what happened?" I asked him, starting to get a little emotional myself, from the anticipation of whatever he was going to tell me. He shook his head, signaling he couldn't speak yet. "Well, if you can't tell me what happened, I will call Kate and get her to tell me."
Tim said, "You can't call Kate, Abby."
"Why not? Is her phone off? I'll just go talk to her then." I said, standing up and taking a step toward the door before turning to look at Tim as spoke.
"No, Abby." He said, then bit his lip before continuing, "You can't call Kate, because she won't answer and she's not upstairs, she's down. Abs, I'm so very sorry, but Kate is dead."
I felt my knees give out and Tim quickly caught me before I hit the ground and I began to sob. "Kate is dead?" I asked, not really comprehending what had happened. He nodded and gathered me in his arms. We stayed like that, crying for several hours until we fell asleep.

McGee POV
I walked into Abby's lab. I was not crying this time. I said Abby's name again to get her attention. She said, "Oh, hey Timmy! Did Gibbs send you down 'cause we got a case, or did you just come to talk?"
I said, "I came down to tell you something bad has happened."
"Oh no," She said, her knees buckling slightly and I went over to support her, "Who died?"
"Nobody died. Ziva was kidnapped," I said. Her jaw dropped. "Tony, Gibbs and I have to go and rescue her in Somalia." That was the part she started crying at.
"When?" She asked.
"As soon as possible, probably tonight. Tony or Gibbs will come get me soon to take me home to pack so you still have a car to get home in tonight."
She stood up straight and threw her arms around me and held me close for several minutes. Then she pulled back and kissed me hard for several minutes, only breaking it off when we heard a cough. It was Tony. He said, "It's time to go, Probie. I'll give you two a moment to finish saying you're goodbyes."
Abby grabbed me and held me close again. She whispered in my ear, "Be careful, Tim. I couldn't handle it if I lost you. I love you! Don't forget that!" She kissed me once more, then spun me around and pushed me lightly toward the door. The last thing I heard before I got into the elevator was a sob.
