I still can't believe how many reviews this has gotten in only 8 chapters, you all are amazing thanks for much.
I am glad you're all enjoying it as much as I am writing it. Oh, I forgot to mention in chapter 1 reason Tony is there is because Landon is an escaped mental patient and the doctors tracked him down. That's my story and I am sticking to it.
Now that's been said this chapter is about Gibbs and Timmy. I have ADD so everything I written is whatever popped into my brain that day.
This chapter came from an inspiration by a story called 'The distance between by 68luvcarter. It's chapter five that made me realize it could fit into my story. I hope the writer and all my readers enjoy.
"Hey Gibbs, I already told Tony everything…."
"I know Abs, you've done good work" he interrupted. "Thanks, so why the call then?" she asked.
"I need you to come down and help McGee so we can finally end this nightmare" Gibbs answered.
Abby paused. "Abs?" Gibbs called out after a few seconds passed. "I still have stuff here to do Gibbs" she answered softly.
"What? Since when do you put work ahead of an injured friend?" he asked.
Abby sighed. "It's easy when the friend doesn't want to see me" she murmured. Her voice was quiet and sad.
"What makes you say that Abby?" Gibbs asked. He knew the answer but he wanted her to tell him.
"How can you ask that Gibbs! Last time I saw Tim he didn't seem too fond of me" she retorted angrily.
"Tim sent this request Abs not me" Gibbs said gently. "Really?" Abby gasped. "He asked to see me?"
"Yes, he said he works better with you, Abby just come, were wasting time, do you really want Sarah to die?" he asked.
"Of course not, I'll be there soon" she answered and hung up.
Gibbs hung up and a second later his phone rang. "Find anything useful DiNozzo?" he asked.
"Ziva found a third accomplice, were bringing him to NCIS, he's a little banged up so he'll probably break easy" Tony answered.
Gibbs smirked. "Keep me posted, sooner we end this, sooner we can move on" he answered.
He went back to McGee. He found him staring off into space, the laptop still closed on his lap.
"Tim?" He called out and McGee turned to him. "She on her way?" he asked and received a nod.
"Tony and Ziva seem close to finding her Tim, they found a third accomplice" Gibbs said.
Tim nodded. "Good, I knew they wouldn't let me down" he answered.
"I'll head back to help them" Gibbs said and Tim nodded. "Thanks boss, I…" he said and trailed off.
"What McGee?"
"Nothing, go help Tony and Ziva, finding Sarah is more important" he said.
"Spit it out Tim, you been wanting to say something since I walked in" Gibbs ordered.
Tim's eyes widened. "Yeah, I know you that well McGee now talk" Gibbs said.
"I guess…I was just… surprised you came…I mean… the case is over and all" Tim stammered nervously.
Gibbs raised a brow. "What does that mean Tim?"
"I guess….I never….I mean I didn't….I'm not….I'm not them" he stammered.
Gibbs just stared at him. "When….when…when I needed you before….you never were there" Tim said.
Gibbs understood. "You think I don't care for you as much as the others?" he asked and Tim shrugged.
"Abby is Abby, Kate comforted me when Erin got killed, Tony and Ziva were nice when I shot that cop…I guess….I…I always…I always thought I failed you" he admitted.
Gibbs sighed and Tim gasped. "I mean, I know you care boss it's just….I don't know…lets just forget this" he added.
Gibbs shook his head. "No McGee, you belong to my team, I protect my team and…I'm sorry if I failed to show that for you" he said.
Tim smiled. "Thanks boss, I am really glad you're here, please…just bring me back my sister" he said.
Gibbs smirked. "Of course McGee, I never leave my team behind" he said and left.
He was alone for a few minutes then the door opened.
"Hey Tim" she called softly.
I really hope you enjoyed this tale because it's ending soon.
