I own nothing, i don't own NCIS and it's a shame. If i have, i will gave Tim McGee a lot more of backbone. I am not an American native so you will have to excuse me for the grammatical errors. Take place after Mexico events.
I updated this story earlier today but it was a short one that's why I add this chapter now.
Enjoy
Tim McGee shakes his head and he needs to see someone outside his team. He wants to see his sister. He flips his phone on and speedials his sister.
She answers at the first ring.
Sarah : Hi Tim. What's up ?
Tim : Hi Kid. Are you free tonight ? I'd like to invite you.
Sarah : Hum. I was about to eat with some friends but...
Tim : Oh, Ok ! Nevermind.
Sarah : No ! I'll never pass an invitation with my big brother. I'll join you at your house in half an hour.
Tim : No, I am not home. I'll take you in 1 hour then we'll go eat ok ?
Sarah : Ok !... Are you okay Timmy ? You seems hesitant.
Tim : Don't worry. I just want to spend some time with my baby sister.
Sarah : OK Timmy. Are you sure?
Tim : Yes. Prepare yourself we gonna wild tonight,
Sarah laughs but is still cautious.
He hangs up and starts to make the reservation for the new restaurant: The Kat Spirit.
He takes a shower, get dress and he is out in 30 min. He stops at her sister favorite chocolate shop and take some treats.
He arrives at Waverly, knock on the door and grins when his sister opens her dorm room.
Sarah : TIMMY!
His sister squeals and hugs him fiercely. And he feels so good, he laughs out loud.
Tim : When you greet me like that, I expected you to still have 10 years and I came back from college! He laughs when she punches him on the arm. Ouch! Come on! Are you ready?!
Sarah : Yes, lemme takes my purse and my jacket and we can go.
Tim : Sweet.
Sarah : Where are we going? Where are you take me?
Tim : It's a surprise. But first, I have a surprise and he gives him the treats.
Sarah : Timmy Bear. I love it, I love it. Thank you.
Tim : You are welcome. Let's go.
And it's a shame that they don't pass enough time together, that's why it was so good to see her. When they arrive at the restaurant, they go directly to the reception and were direct to their table. They speak, laugh and all the tension that had accumulated on his shoulders the last 2 weeks leaves him.
They decided to grasp some drinks on a pub next to the restaurant.
At this moment, Sarah takes a deep breath and starts to open her mouth.
Sarah : Tim, you know that I love to pass time with you. You know that I know you. I know you better than anybody and you're not well. So talk to me, tell me what's happened?
Tim tensed immediately, then after a few minutes, exhales and starts.
Tim : You know that sometimes I can't talk about some aspect of my job. It's classified. I can tell you details. But do you remember after Somalia?
Sarah : Of course, you came back bruised and battered all over your body. And you had nightmares for weeks. It was an horrible time.
Tim : 2 weeks ago we had a case and I need to leave the country.
Sarah : Yes, I remembered.
Tim : There, hum, I risked my life. And I know some people will say that's not big deal. That nothing happened. But I had to offer my life to save a dozen person to very cruel and sadistic people. And what hurt most more that none of my team tried to ask me how I was doing?
Sarah, in the meantime was speechless. It was the first time that she sees his brother like , even when his father disown him, he stayed stoic trough the all damn thing. Even when he found out about Ziva's supposed death, he never showed emotions. But now, he was on the verge of tears.
She rises and hugs him. She almost loses him. He was his big brother, his protector. To see him like this, it was so unsettling.
Sarah : Timmy. I'm so sorry that you had to live something like this. I don't know why your team react like this. But I'll always be there for you. I love you Timmy Bear.
And even Tim McGee was and still is a private person and even if they are in public, he cries all his fear, his shame, his anger.
When he finished, he smiles a shy smile a little ashamed.
Tim : Sorry, what a big brother, crying like a little girl.
Sarah : No Tim. Don't act like that. You have every rights to react like this. I'm your family and if you can't lean on your team, you can lean on me.
Tim : I know Sarah. But when I do something like this, it just show that I am not cut for a job like that. And I can't phantom what I am gonna do.
Sarah : What? Do you want to quit? You don't have to leave your job because of them. They're not worth it. I know they help me but I'm f***king hate how they treated you. And I know is my fault, if I haven't open my big mouth with your novel...
Tim : No! It isn't your fault. It's mine. I am such a wimp.
Sarah punches him on the arm.
Tim : Ouch! What's that for?
The anger color her voice when she responds.
Sarah : You aren't a wimp. You're the most gentle, sweet, caring soul that I know. And it's not your fault that they can't appreciate that. Scr** them. You don't need them and you don't need to quit your job for anybody, especially them. You heard me Timothy McGee.
Tim laughs but sobers quickly.
Tim : I heard you. I don't need them OK! But I need to trust them to do my job. If I can't, I do mistakes that leads to my death or their death. I can't do that.
Sarah : Why don't you change team?
Tim : I tried to look time after time but the only place available is Agent Afloat. But with my seasickness and my luck, it will be 1 year of living hell. The only place available is in Europe at Marseille. I could take this one but it means that I'm not close if you had a problem. I'm not ready to not be near you.
Sarah : Tim, you can't stay like this for me. I love to be near you, to see you when we can with our crazy schedules. But you can't stay in this toxic environment.
Tim : Don't worry for me. My teenager dreams was to become a cop and a writer. I became both. Now, I can find a third one. In the meantime, you'll have your diploma. And if you didn't found the love of your life we can leave the country together.
Anyway, when you finished your exam, we will go on vacation to see mom or go to the Caribbean just the two of us.
Sarah : I'll love that.
When starts to talk about his evening with the team, she realizes her brother 's despair. She vows mentally that if she met one of them, that she will kill them on a spot. It was so unfair and so typical. When she was accused of murder, his team were so hurt that he never came to them. Gibbs snaps at her because she made this smart-ass remark. She was so grateful that his brother has found a team so close,so protector to him. But now, she is hurt and betrayed that she trusts them. It was so twisted. And she used to be so mad and so ashamed that his brother never stand up for himself. That he let everybody used and manipulated him.
But when she starts to grow and leave the house to study, she understands her brother more. She knows that to fight back you need to have confidence in you. And to have confidence, you need to love yourself. But when you heard everyday that you're just a geek, an useless person that you never do anything right you can't love yourself.
And she loved his father but she hated him at the same time. The mistreatment that his brother suffered, kills her. The last straw was when the Admiral decided to disowned her brother all because he went to Norfolk. But what caused her ire was that her father decided to prevent her mother and herself to see Tim. When she confronted her father, it was so bad that she storms out his house and vows that she will never come back. That was 6 years ago. Tim was his brother, his protector and nobody mess with him, except her.
She invites him to see a movie and enjoyed the fact that his brother agreed.
She doesn't know why anybody would want to hurt his brother but she vows that when she has her diploma that they will leave D.C and never look back.
Thanks you again for your reviews. I love that show but I hate the disrespect that appears time to time. I will love that McGee say at one time enough is enough.
