AN: so here's the new chappie! Enjoy! Review please
DISCLAIMER: nope no one but Savannah is mine but you know it'd be great if they where
The doctors cold hands touched her arm once more, checking that it was all good, "you can start working in the field again, but be careful" he said writing something down,
"In my job, yeah that should be easy" Savannah said sarcastically, the doctor didn't laugh but sighed,
"I am serious Savannah, if you get injured again things could go badly, and I'll have to call a family member" the doctor said, Savannah pressed her lips into a thin line
"I don't have any family" she said in a hard voice, the doctor rolled his eyes,
"I have seen the forms, you have a brother" he said sounding irritated, Savannah stood up grabbing her bag
"He doesn't count, I haven't seen him in years, I doubt he would care" she muttered, the doctor sighed writing something on a piece of paper,
"Give this to your boss" he said tiredly, holding it out to her, Savannah asking no questions grabbed it and stormed out, shoving the note in her bag to give to Gibbs later.
"Should we tell her we know?" Ziva hissed to Tony, he hesitated, "I don't think we should" he said slowly, "she would have told us if she really wanted too" he continues, "but don't let her know, that we know" he said thoughtfully,
"good luck with hiding it, she has senses as strong as a donkey" Ziva said going back to her work, Tony looked over at McGee who just shrugged,
"Did I hear that right?" Tony asked, McGee laughed, "yeah" he said before going back to typing on his computer,
"I am back" Savannah called out coming into the room, but froze as soon as she got there, Ziva, Tony and McGee where smiling at her in a very false way, "what did I do?" She asked warily, Tony smiled wider standing up,
"nothing, we're just happy to see you all well again, that's all" he doted, Savannah shook her head as she sat down, knowing something was up,
"oh Gibbs, I have a note from my for you" Savannah said to her boss who was drinking his coffee in silence, she handed him the note and sat back down going back to a report she never handed in from last year, she had decided to do it because she was bored, Gibbs face darkened as he read the note, this went unnoticed by Savannah but not the other agents, Tony silently asked what was wrong, Gibbs just shook his head standing up
"I have to talk to the director" he said storming out of the room, this time Savannah did notice the mood,
"What's wrong with him?" She asked watching him stomp up the stairs, "no idea, what did the note say?" Tony asked Savannah shrugged ,
"I didn't look, the doctor was being... Difficult so I got out of there quickly" she said searching for the right words,
"Guess we will find out soon enough" McGee said, and they all got back to there work.
"What the hell is this Leon" Gibbs said pacing back and forth in the directors office,
"Gibbs it's what the doctor thinks is best and personally, I agree, things just became more personal here" the directors said putting his hands together on his desk
"Like hell they did, my team knows a bit more about her and that's it" Gibbs growled, still pacing,
"Wether you like it or not it's happening" the director said in exasperation, Gibbs stopped pacing and glared at the director,
"So you're sending her to LA, where her brother works, what's to say she won't lose it and just shoot him" Gibbs growled, the director closed his eyes.
"Gibbs she isn't that unstable" he said glaring at him, Gibbs rolled his eyes
"Yeah I know that, everyone who has ever spent time with her knows that, but no one in LA has so don't send her there" Gibbs roared, Vance closed his eyes again,
"At least talk to her about it" Gibbs said in a softer tone leaning across the desk, the director sighed,
"Fine, lets go" he said bitterly standing up and heading downstairs, they where almost at the bottom when he called out to get Savannahs attention,
"AGENT DEEKS" he yelled, Savannah looked up and her face darkened, the director came back into the room,
"why did you call me that?" She asked when he was in front of her, her eyes dark,
"Because I am done with the secrets, your team knows now anyway" he said in a gruff voice, Savannah stands up looking irritated,
"What do you want director?" She glared at him, the director returned her glare,
"I am here to inform you of your transfer" he said looking her right in the eye, Savannah looked ️taken aback but quickly composed her expression
"Where too" she asked her face neutral, McGee looked at her with horror, just when they had started to get close she was being transferred again, he couldn't imagine anything worse.
"You are being transferred to the OSP in Los Angeles" director Vance said looking at her intently,
"No. No way" she said shaking her head in denial, she walked out from behind her desk standing a few inches from the director
"It's not going to happen" she said the director returned her intent stare
"No, I am not losing my partner" McGee said standing up, the director didn't take his look off Savannah, finally she took a step back, her face defeated,
"Don't worry, Tim, I'll be back one day" she said softly, and with that she grabbed her bag and walked out of the room. Everyone's eyes trailing after her, the director looked around at the team he sighed and pressed his lips together
"Savannah will be back tomorrow to get her stuff" he said and then looked around at the team again, there faces where all masks of shock,
"Go home" he said before turning and stalking back upstairs, Ziva and Tony grabbed there things, McGee stood there looking after the director,
"Boss, is she gone for good?" McGee asked Gibbs, Gibbs shook his head
"Looks that way" he said before grabbing his bag and leaving closely followed by Ziva and Tony. McGee grabbed his bag and followed after them. He didn't sleep that night with the knowledge that the partner he loved so much wasn't his partner anymore
Special agent Tony Dinozzo kept staring at special agent Savannah Deeks desk. Special agent Ziva David stared blankly at her computer, it wasn't even on. Special agent Timothy McGee watched the elevator anxiously. Special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs drank his 8th cup of coffee for the morning in frustration. In her lab Abby Sciuto sat on the floor holding her hippo. In autopsy unbeknownst to anyone Donald "Ducky" Mallard let a tear fall slowly down his face, he thought of Savannah as a daughter.
"When's she getting her stuff?" Tony asked finally, McGee sighed looking away from the elevator,
"She should be here in like 15 minutes" he said not really paying much attention to anything, but his own thoughts.
Over the year they had worked together Savannah and McGee had grown close, closer recently and if he was honest with himself McGee had devolved feelings for Savannah, a few months back, he hadn't admitted that too himself, he remembered watching her walk away, thinking that he didn't love her like that, but he had begun too and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Morning" came a very familiar voice, McGee was snapped out of his thoughts, he looked up to see his partner smiling at him.
"Hey" he said in a slightly chocked voice she smiled wider and him before heading over to her desk with a cardboard box, she started putting things into it silently, before finally grabbing her gun and putting it in the box
"Uh, are you aloud to keep that?" Tony asked slightly worried, Savannah laughed
"Since I am staying with NCIS and just moving bases, yeah I can" she says still smiling a little she grabbed one final thing before turning to face us all
"I'll miss you guys" she said before hugging Ziva, who gave her a kiss on the cheek
"We will all miss you as well" Ziva said pulling back, "we'll see you soon" Tony said giving her a hug as well,
"Be safe" McGee said hugging her, she smiled up at him. "Bye guys" she said grabbing the box of her stuff off her desk, and with that she walked away dropping a piece of paper on McGee desk as she left, McGee jogged after her and jumped through the closing doors of the elevator. Savannah laughed
"This is becoming a habit" she said referring to when he jumped in the elevator after her the day she told him all about her brother. McGee laughed,
"I need to tell you something" he said Savannah nodded becoming serious,
"I love you, Savannah, and me know you're leaving but I just want you to know that" he said deciding to go for the forward tactic, Savannah smiled at him
"I love you too, but I am leaving Tim, and, if I have to go back and see my brother, well I am not going to be the best person to be around, my head is probably going to be a dark place for a while" she said taking a step closer to McGee, he looked down at her, her face was totally sincere,
"Maybe we get lucky" McGee whispers, Savannah closed her eyes, then opens them and turned off the elevator,
"We have to make our own luck Tim, we make our own luck. Ok, and honestly, I am sorry but we can't be together like this" she whispers, McGee stared down at her, all he saw is total love and pain etched on her face. And with that he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her, she kisses him back resting her hand on his chest, when he pulls away he looked into her face,
"I love you, one day I'll see you again" she said and turns the elevator back on, soon the doors open and picking up the box she had left on the ground walked out, looking back at McGee once, as the doors close she waves, and smiles a tear falling down her face.
"Bye Tim" she whispers just before the doors close completely.
Tim walks slowly back into the squat room, the others eyes trail after him, he reaches his desk and sits down, staring blankly at the piece of paper on his desk, finally he realises he has no idea what it is, he picks it up, it's a note, he opens it and immediately recognises the writing as Savannahs
It read
Dear Tim
i don't want to leave I want you to know that, but in the end I have no choice, I move offices or lose my job completely. I hope to see you again. I hope to see you all again, Los Angeles isn't that bad, lots of sun I just want you to know that I don't regret one moment of the year I spent with you and everyone, it has been the best year of my life. Please know that while I turst very few people, I trust you. Enjoy your life Tim and don't dwell on me, I really hope that you can do that. One day you will have a new partner, probably a much better one than me, and you'll be happy. I hope you are always happy. I want you to know I don't hate my brother that much, I just hate what he did. Be safe, don't get shot because it kind of hurts. That was my attemp at humor, thanks for putting up with that by the way. I love you. I love you all, sorry I didn't tell you that enough, but Tim there won't be an us
stay safe, don't let Tony bully you
love always
Savannah Deeks
McGee put the note down on his desk. He felt strangely happy. Little did he know that Savannah wasn't going to be fine in LA... But in all fairness she didn't know either, she wasn't going to see her brother anytime soon.
