Chapter 5
Knowing the Truth
McGee rolled over to get a comfortable position, but when he saw that he was lying on grass he opened his eyes but closed them right away when he was blinded by the bright sun.
"You ok there Tim," called out a voice from above him.
McGee's eyes adjusted to the bright light to see Abby and Gibbs standing over him.
"Where am I," McGee asked as he sat up.
"Your in Dream Homes Park," Gibbs told him.
"How you feeling Timmy," Abby asked as she knelt down and hugged McGee.
"What happened? How did I get here and why does my arm and neck hurt," McGee said as he rubbed his neck.
"Well first off we got to tell you something," Abby said as she sat down and held McGee's arm, "you're a werewolf."
"I'm a what," McGee said confused.
"A werewolf McGee, and a particularly nasty one," Gibbs said.
"But werewolves aren't real," McGee said.
"Then how do you explain waking up in the park, and the German shepherd you killed two nights ago," Abby asked.
"Wait how did you know about the German shepherd," McGee exclaimed.
"After you got bit by the dog," Gibbs explained, "my gut was telling me something, so I came to where you lived and found the dead dog. I smelled two scents when I got there and I followed the one that wasn't the dogs-"
"Wait, you followed the scent," McGee said curiously.
"I think you should show him Gibbs," Abby said.
"Show me what," McGee asked.
"Just watch," Abby told him.
After taking a quick a look around to make sure no one was watching, Gibbs transformed himself into the gray dog in front of McGee's shocked eyes and sat down.
"Isn't he cute," Abby said scratching behind Gibbs's ear, who moved his head away.
"Your that dog I saw when I left for work, aren't you," McGee asked when Gibbs changed back.
"That's right," Gibbs responded, "I'm a werewolf too that used to be out of control, till I started to take the potion that Ducky found in a special book."
"Potion," McGee asked curiously.
"Yeah, with the help of Ducky we found a book with a potion recipe and info that can help control our transformations," Gibbs explained.
"So I can become a dog like you," McGee asked expectantly.
"Well once you get your animal instincts under control," Gibbs said, "and if we can get it early you can also change into the wolf-man creature you already turn into, only this time you can control it."
"Who else knows about this," McGee asked him.
"Other than the three of us, only Ducky and Palmer," Gibbs told him.
McGee sighed and held up his hand that was bit, which started to shake slightly.
"So I became a werewolf when I got bit by that black lab, right," McGee asked.
"Yeah," Gibbs said.
"What ever happen to that black lab," McGee asked.
"Even though I can smell better when I'm a dog," Gibbs explained, "I can still pick up scents when I'm human and with some practice you can too. Well with the petty officers at the park, I picked up the scent of the black lab and when it came around, the scent became strong. So I say its someone who has real weak control of his transformation."
"Why didn't you give the me potion while I was still human," McGee asked.
"The first time you take it, you have to take the potion while you're either changing or already changed when the animal genes are active" Abby explained
"So what happens now," McGee asked.
"While Abby takes you home," Gibbs told him, "I'm going to find Ducky and see if he can make another potion since we broke the first one when we fought. So I'll see you guys later."
While Gibbs transformed into his dog form and ran off, Abby got under McGee's arm, helped him stand up and walked with him to his apartment.

When they arrived at McGee's apartment, Abby helped him to his Laz-E-Boy then grabbed a chair for herself.
"How you feeling," Abby asked him.
"I'm sore, but still good. Are you a werewolf too?"
"Not exactly. I'm more of a werecat."
"A werecat?"
"Instead of a dog, I turn into a cat. It's actually not as dangerous or as bad as a werewolf."
"I would like to see you as a cat."
"You already have."
"I have?"
"Yeah."
"What do you mean?"
Abby smiled then leapt forward, quickly changed into a black cat and landed on McGee's lap. McGee instantly recognized the white markings and green eyes.
"You're the cat that keeps coming here," McGee said shocked while Abby changed back to human, keeping McGee between her legs.
"Yup."
"Then that means you heard all the things I said about you."
"Yup."
Then Abby kissed McGee on the lips.
"I love you too," Abby said before kissing McGee again.
McGee was speechless. He tried to say something but nothing came out. Then Abby got up, grabbed McGee by the hand, and led him to the bedroom.
