CHAPTER 6

The sound of people talking woke Tim. He woke up and he discovered that he was in a

Hospital. He then noticed his left arm was covered in cloth. He couldn't move his arm at all. He then wondered what happened to him. He tried to remember back but it just made his head hurts. Then, he was interrupted by a doctor

"Hello, Mr. McGee. How are you doing? I am Doctor Coleman"

"Hello, Doctor Coleman. Call me Tim. I am doing fine. May I know what happened to me?"

"You were caught in an accident and someone called us to send an ambulance"

After that, they were interrupted by someone knocking on the door. It was Gibbs. The doctor left them and Gibbs came in.

"How are you feeling Tim?"

"Hello, boss. I am feeling ok."

Tim then remembered a little about the accident. He's with the Lieutenant and he couldn't save him. He then started to cry

"Why are you crying Tim?"

"I remembered the moment when I was with the Lieutenant, I tried to save him but he was stucked. I am the reason that he died."

Gibbs tried to comfort him

"It's not your fault at all. He was stuck. There was nothing you can do."

"There was something that I can do. I could have pulled him harder but I was just too weak. I was supposed to be me that died in the explosion. Not him"

"Don't blame yourself. Tim. You tried your best to save him but it's just your bad luck"

"You are right boss. I'm sorry that I acted like this."

\"Never apologize Tim. It's a sign of weakness"

"Oh yeah, I forgot about rule 6"

After that, Tim sister Sarah came in. She hugged Gibbs and he left them for some private time.

"Hello, Tim. How are you doing?"

"Hey Sarah, You shouldn't bother to come. What about your school?"

"I can't attend school if I know my brother is in the Hospital…"

"Thank You Sarah, you are the greatest sister that a brother can have.."

"Thanks Tim. Did dad came to visit you?"

"I don't know. I just woke up. I don't even know if he would come to visit me"

"Don't say things like that. I'm sure that he would come to visit you."

"If you insist, call and tell him that I am doing fine. That would be enough.."

After that Sarah went outside to make a phone call to their dad.

"Hello, This is Admiral McGee."

"Dad! It's me Sarah."

"Sarah? How are you doing? Is something the matter?"

"No dad, It's about Tim. Did you heard about him?"

"Yes.. He's been in some sort of accident I heard.."

"Well, he asked me to tell you that he is fine"

"If he is fine, it is okay then."

"Won't you come to visit him, dad?"

"You said that he is fine ? I don't need to visit him. I got lots of duties to do here."

"But dad, he is your son. Won't you let your duties come second and be a father to him. You don't want to know how bad his injuries is. I'll tell you.. He got a concussion and a broken left arm. Can't you be more fatherly to him?"

"Sarah, don't tell me what to do! Did you forget who's the one that supported us as a family?"

"It's you dad. But can't you just consider visiting him. He's been in an accident. Can't you understand!" Sarah starts to get irritated

"I'll not be visiting my so-called son who cannot even drive safely when he is a grown up."

"Dad, what did you call your son?"

"I have never considered him as a son Sarah. He is an embarrassment to me. I even blamed your mother for bringing him to this world in the first place."

"Don't you say that about Mom. You didn't even went to her funeral. You have no right… You hear me, No…"

Before Sarah could finished her words, his father hung up on him. Sarah got irritated and almost threw the phone on the wall but he controlled herself.

Few minutes after that, Sarah came back to his brother's room.

"So, how did it go? Sarah?"

"Dad isn't coming. He said that he have duties to fulfill"

"I had known that he wouldn't come. He values his duty more than his own family. It's always been like that."

"I know that he is a jerk but I never knew that he would be like this."

"I never expected much. After all, he favors you more than me."

"No way Tim. I'm sure that he didn't favors me"

"Isn't it obvious? He went to your graduation day and he didn't bothered to come to mine"

"Yeah Tim but.."

"Can you go back to your school Sarah? I want to go to sleep."

"Okay Tim, Take care."
