Hey all, so I have to leave for work very soon but I wanted to give you all something to read while I am gone. It's short because I didn't have much time to type and it's just another small filler.
The five sat in silence after that. Sarah and Abby still cuddled against Tim who looked pleased holding his girls.
Ducky's phone then rang and he answered.
"Hello Ziva" he said and then nodded. "All right, Mr. Palmer and I will meet you shortly" he answered and hung up.
Abby frowned as she sat up. "I don't want to leave" she muttered and Tim leaned over to kiss her cheek.
"Go Abs, I'll be fine" he prompted. When she didn't move he tickled her ribs and she giggled.
"Timmy don't!" she screamed and he chuckled. "I will when you go" he teased. She stood and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Fine…I guess you don't want me around" she said with a hurt tone. Tim quickly stood and pulled her in for a hug.
"I never said that Abs, I just don't want some bastard to get away with murder because I kept the greatest forensic scientist away from her lab" he said and it made her smile.
He smiled back. "Thanks you three but I will be fine I promise" he said and all three nodded.
"I know you will Timothy but I will miss not seeing you at the crime scene" Ducky said and Tim nodded.
"Me too Ducky…I admit I actually am tempted to follow you all because I really do love my job….even with all the crap I gone through" he admitted.
Ducky patted his shoulder. "I know young man, you're a great asset to this team but you should do what makes you happy" he said.
"I thought this did make me happy…." he murmured.
"Really? Even with all the crap you been through?" Sarah asked and Tim nodded.
"Yeah…I know Tony is an ass at times but I always let the pranks slide because…I guess I assumed he was treating me like his little brother" he said.
"But he left you hanging at that house Tim…and you almost died because of his stupidity…do you really want to just forgive him?" Sarah argued.
Tim sighed. "I know…" he said sadly. He then cleared his throat. "Look we can't talk about this right now, you three have work to do" he said with an authoritive tone.
"All right, we get the message Tim…see ya later" Jimmy said and grabbed Abby's wrist and pulled her out.
Ducky nodded, patted Tim's shoulder again and followed. Tim sighed and followed to lock his door.
"Don't Tim…don't go following them" Sarah pleaded and Tim only stared at her.
"Sarah…" he said and she sighed. "Fine! Do whatever the hell you want bro…get yourself killed…see if I care!" she snapped.
She pushed him away from the door, opened it and stormed out to her car.
Tim sighed but left the apartment as well and locked the door. He waited till Sarah left and then got in his car.
He then followed Ducky and Palmer to the crime scene. 'Why am I doing this to myself?' he wondered.
It wasn't like he enjoyed the pain of Tony's stupid antics or the wrath of LJ Gibbs when he got angry. He didn't enjoy it at all yet he always found himself heading back to work everyday.
He got out of his car as he parked a little bit back from Ducky and followed them to the scene.
Apparently he was never going to get away from Gibbs. He was like one of those bugs that loved the light till they died from getting too close.
