Chapter 10
Armed with the information Gibbs had given him Vance walked into interrogation and sat facing Clayton Jervis.
"You know this will mean your job." Jervis threatened him.
Vance raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
He opened the papers and scanned them then sat back.
"You knew about the Darrington Protocol," Vance said…it was not a question.
"It was a classified op, I know a lot of classified information, it isn't a crime," Jervis countered.
"All the members of the original team that created it are dead. Do you know who killed them?" Vance asked
"Did you do a DNA on the murder weapon, the killer maybe closer than you think?" Jervis sneered.
"Are you confessing?" Vance asked hopefully.
Jervis let out a short derisive laugh, "Me! Get my hands dirty! I don't think so."
"But you DO know who killed Dr. Jacobson?" Vance said.
Jervis smiled.
"TELL ME!" Vance slammed his hand on the table.
"All I will tell you is, you know him very well, oh and your Agent Gibbs is probably with him now. Maybe you should worry about the safety of your agents."
Vance stormed out of the room and headed to his office.
"DAVID!" He called from the balcony.
Ziva ran up the stairs, "Yes Sir,"
"Where is Agent Gibbs?" he asked.
"He's taken Mrs. McGee to the hospital to see Dr. Sutton and Tim." She informed him.
"I need you to go there on protection detail. I have information that the person who murdered Dr. Jacobson and the other personnel involved in the Darrington Protocol is apparently close to him."
"I'm on my way." Ziva said and headed to the exit.
Vance picked up his cell phone and rang Gibbs to inform him.
Shelia McGee grabbed onto Gibbs' arm as she entered the building.
"How is he really?" She asked him.
"He's hurting, he's not the Tim we know and Dr. Sutton said there were many personalities which were emerging." Gibbs told her. "DiNozzo has been with him all day; we are taking turns so when 'our' Tim comes out he's never alone."
As Shelia headed towards Tim's room, Gibbs' phone rang. He nodded to her to continue and took the call.
She gently pushed open the door to Tim's room and Tony stood up.
"Mrs. McGee." He said motioning her to come into the room, "Tim's been asleep for the past two hours." He told her.
"How is he?" She asked.
"When he's here, he's scared…worried for us all, the other 'Tim's' scary and little Timmy is just terrified." Tony said, not really wanting to upset her, but he had assumed that if she did not know she would see this and leave Tim to his fate.
"Is the Admiral coming?" Tony asked.
"He is in custody," Shelia snapped, "He won't be near my children again."
Tony looked at her. He really did not know what to say to that.
"Momma?" Timmy said.
Shelia ran to Tim and held him, mindful of his restraints.
"Hey baby how are you feeling?" She asked.
"I wanna come home momma, my head feels better now. But momma the mean man says I have to stay and be a candy date….do I have to?" Timmy asked fearfully.
"No baby that was a long time ago, some mean people hurt you, but you do have to stay here until the new people can make you all better." She said stroking Tim's forehead.
Tony saw the change first and pulled Sheila back from her son.
"You did this to me…..You and Dad, just so you could have your precious Sarah all to yourselves." McGee snarled.
Shelia's eye widened with horror at the change in her son, she instantly saw his sixteen-year-old self in his manner.
"McGee…" Tony said putting himself between McGee and his mother.
Dr. Sutton coming in with a syringe in his hand suddenly broke the tension.
"Agent DiNozzo, Mrs. McGee…and?" He asked looking towards Tim.
"McGee." Tony supplied.
"Ah! McGee….I have the start of your injections here. Ms. Scuito explained that this compound should reverse the initial phase of your treatment. Re- Rewire your brain so to speak." He said
"Stay the hell away from me!" McGee screamed as Dr, Sutton came closer with the syringe.
Gibbs came bursting in the door, gun drawn. "BACK AWAY AND DROP THE SYRINGE!" He yelled. Dr. Sutton took two steps back as following Gibbs' lead Tony drew his gun.
"Boss? Why are we going to shoot the doctor?" He asked.
"He killed all the other members of the team and Dr. Jacobson. She hid a message in her files and Abby decoded it. Sutton and Jervis were in it together, Sutton's last orders were to take Tim out."
Tony took the syringe and handcuffed Dr. Sutton.
"I didn't do it….I'm innocent." Dr. Sutton protested.
Tim laughed.
"Call yourselves Feds?" He said without a hint of emotion.
Both agents stopped and looked at him without taking their guns away from Dr. Sutton who stood up straighter.
"You need to get these cuffs off me NOW!" Sutton all but screamed as he backed away from Tim not so subtly pushing Tim's mom out of the door,
"Take him outside." Gibbs said to Tony who left with Sutton and Shelia McGee.
Timothy sat up he had already undone the straps that were holding him and he casually leaned down and undone the ones on the legs.
"My turn now." He said his face still devoid of emotion.
As Gibbs turned to look at Tim, he was knocked cold and crumpled to the floor.
Timothy picked up Gibbs' gun and walked out the door towards Dr. Sutton.
"Timothy?" Sutton asked his voice trembling.
"Hello, Dr. Sutton." Timothy said. "It's your turn now, you've run long enough."
"I have the antidote to help you. I can make you normal again." Sutton pleaded.
"My orders are to wipe out the whole team Dr. Sutton. I have everyone else you are the last on my list. Secretary Jervis was insistent that you were all to be eliminated."
"But Tim, we're friends!" Sutton pleaded.
Tim stopped and cocked his head to one side as if he was trying to understand the concept.
"Friends…..I don't think so." Timothy said.
"O…..Okay….what about Tony and your mother….you like Tony he's your friend and you love your mother." Sutton tried desperately to get Tim to stop.
"They are not part of my mandate and therefore are of no consequence." Timothy said.
Tony shivered in all his years in law enforcement he had never been up against someone as cold and unemotional as this. He moved to stand in between Dr. Sutton and Tim.
"Tim…I can't let you hurt him, he's my prisoner… I do not want to shoot you Tim. Stand down!" Tony said
Tim looked Tony up and down. He nodded. "That's acceptable." He said to himself and fired.
The bullet went clean through Tony's shoulder and lodged in Dr. Sutton's arm.
"Naughty, Naughty Dr. Sutton, you moved." Timothy admonished.
"You shot Tony! He's your friend." Sutton screamed the agony in his arm overwhelming him,
"Collateral damaged….He'll heal." Timothy shrugged.
He raised the gun to take another shot and felt a sharp pinprick in his neck.
He turned and raised a hand to his neck "Oh, Ziva." He said and collapsed as his world too went black.
Tony took the cuffs off Dr, Sutton and went to help Tim who was lying on the ground with his head in his mother's lap.
"What was that Ziva? I mean apart from brilliant timing," Tony exclaimed flashing a huge smile.
"A powerful sedative Abby banged up for me just in case." Ziva replied with a smile as she saw Gibbs walk through the doors towards them.
"I think you mean knocked up." Tony corrected her,
"I did not get it pregnant Tony I just used it on Tim." Ziva replied.
Tony rolled his eyes. "You ok Boss?" He asked Gibbs
"Fine, what happened?" Gibbs asked gruffly.
Tony filled him in, including the part where it was admitted that the fourth personality 'Timothy' was in fact their killer. Working under the orders of Jervis.
"How long will that keep him out for?" Gibbs asked nodding at Tim.
"Abby said about twelve hours." Ziva replied.
"Ok Doc, ya gotta find somewhere more secure and get started on this formula Abby came up with." Gibbs ordered.
"It will work, if we keep him sedated while it runs it's course and then the most dominant personality will be Tim's own and we can work with whatever one that is." Dr. Sutton informed them.
Shelia looked up at him. "Do it save my boy, only this time really save him, no secret agenda's or code words." She ordered.
Dr. Sutton nodded. "Yes Ma'am." He replied and followed Tim as he was pushed on a gurney back into his room.
