Chapter Seven:-
~~He won't give up. he's not ready to die yet~~
At the FBI building Fornell and Gibbs along with the rest of the agents were waiting for Leon and Marshal to start their meeting.
Jessica was very nervous. The image of her colleagues in distress wouldn't leave her mind and the image of Tim with blood covering his face and unconscious on the ground was the worst. She's definitely in love with him. She was angry that Diane and her partner Jerry were in distress but she couldn't imagine her life without Tim. She couldn't accept the idea that he's under the mercy of ruthless people.
"Diane was terrified Jethro. I have never seen her so scared" Fornell said
"I know Tobias I saw it too. I felt better when I knew she's not alone. Don't worry McGee is with her" Gibbs said
Fornell snorted "what a relief. As far as I know the last time Diane and agent McGee were together she ended up sleeping in his arms. "
Jessica gave Tony a questioning look and whispered in his ear
"Tim and Diane were having an affair?!"
Tony shook his head and smiled "No, Tim would never do such a thing. He's a gentleman. It's a long story I will tell you later"
Gibbs gave Fornell a hard look and said "You know how they ended up like that Tobias. "
"I know Jethro" Fornell huffed "I mean he's just a geek he can't do anything to help. I would have felt better if it was DiNozzo or Ziva who is with her"
"McGee is a field agent. A good one, Agent Fornell" Ziva said firmly defending her friend and everyone agreed with her.
Leon and Marshal walked into the room at this moment. Gibbs and Fornell started explaining the situation to them.
Concern was obvious in their eyes. A decision must be taken now or else it will get rough very soon and they have to take the right decision.
"It's a critical decision Jethro. We need more than twenty four hours to decide?" Vance said
Gibbs took a look at his watch and said "Twenty three hours Leon. And no I can't stall them. These people are bad news Leon. They will do whatever it takes to get what they want. I'm not ready to lose my agent or anyone else"
"This man is a dangerous man Agent Gibbs. It's not easy. We have to notify the minister. Can you stall them?" Marshal said
Gibbs shook his head "They meant what they said. They will definitely kill agent Brown if we don't release the man"
"Then you have to do your best to track them down Jethro. Find any lead. In the mean time we'll see what we can do" Vance said
NCIS
Consciousness came back to Tim gradually he felt throbbing pain in his head.
Somebody's hands were touching his head and bandaging his wound and wiping his face with cold washcloth
"Jessica" he whispered
"Sorry, not Jessica. Guess you are gonna have to settle for….. me" a voice addressed him
Who is this? His confused mind couldn't give him an answer so he tried to open his eyes. It was difficult so he tried harder finally his eyes fluttered open the light hurt his eyes for a minute and then he saw corporal Addison's face in front of his eyes.
"Corporal Addison?!" Tim said in great surprise as he tried to sit down but the throbbing increased in his head so he put his head down.
Tim turned his head around slowly to check if any of the other four men is in the room but there was no sign of them. He sat down slowly supporting his back against the wall.
"How's Jerry doing?" he closed his eyes hoping the pain would subside. He heard Diane's voice
"Bad. Try to take some rest McGee. You have been out cold for three hours"
"Three hours?! Oh my God we only have twenty one hours left and they will kill Jerry" Tim sat up right very quickly and the sudden change in position made the pain hit him full force this time so he gritted his teeth and rested his head against the wall one more time.
"It's my fault. All of what happened is my fault. I don't know what came over me." Addison said in disbelief "I don't believe what I did what I did!" Corporal Addison said.
Tim heard the regret in his voice so he thought he needs to give Addison a little push to convince him to help them.
"What happened? How did a Navy seal end up with terrorists like them?" Tim asked
Addison sighed and said "They manipulated me. Long story short. I met them, Jack and Roby, a year ago in a bar. I used to go there and get wasted after what happened. They convinced me that their father is in Federal prison. And they told me about their life and we used to meet daily till I trusted them and told them my story and what happened with my brother and my father and we became friends. I guess I was a fool." He sighed and continued his story
"One day they started manipulating me and telling me how wonderful life would be if what we wanted came true. They started urging me to avenge my brother's death and wondered if they can help their father to break free. We talked about that over and over again till I believed it and wanted to do it. So we started planning it all"
"How about your work? You are a Navy seal. How did you leave your work?!" Tim asked
Addison couldn't look Tim in the eyes so he looked away and whispered
"I was dishonorably discharged. After Michael's death and what happened to my father because of that. I felt I needed to understand what happened my heart was full of rage, so when I went to Michael's base I had a big fight with his superior and… I beat the hell out of him and that's it….I shamed my family. Michael died a hero and instead of honoring his memory I shamed him and shamed the whole family."
Tim thought he saw tears shining in Addison's eyes.
"In my head, I kept imagining over and over again how satisfying this moment will be. The moment when I point my gun to your head. But I can't do it. I just can't" Addison shook his head
Tim patted his shoulder and said "You can still do the right thing, you know"
Before Addison gets the chance to answer, the door was opened and Jack walked into the room
"Wakey wakey sleeping beauty. You have a lot of work to do" Jack said to McGee
McGee stood up slowly
"And what if I said no I can't help you. You can shoot me if you want. I don't care" Tim said firmly
"I'm not going to kill you Agent McGee. I'm gonna kill one of these lovely friends over there if you don't cooperate." He pointed at Diane and Jerry
"You can't do that" Tim said nervously "You need them as hostages"
Jack laughed out loud and said "don't worry about that Agent McGee. There are lots of agents out there. I can manage. There's this beautiful blond, what's her name?! Ah Jessica Williams. I believe you know her. Don't' you?" he raised one eye brow
Tim was very angry he felt he wanted to punch jack in the face
"Okay I will do it" Tim said angrily " but I need some time"
"Don't make it long. Let's go Addison" Jack said and slammed the door behind him.
