Chapter Three:-
Tim felt painful heart beats in his chest. He tried to take a deep breathe and struggled to get up
"McGee" Gibbs rushed into the the room and hurried to help him when he saw the sick man on the floor struggling to stand up.
"What happened, Tim? Are you Okay?" Gibbs helped the younger man to sit down then he saw the expression on the other man's face and how he was shaking so he said
"Breath now...Just breath...What happened son?"
Tim tried to breathe but it came out more like wheezing. He clutshed his chest in pain and cold sweat broke out on her forehead
"Do you want me to call an ambulance?" Gibbs said worriedly but Tim shook his head.
He took a few minutes to breathe
"There's...nobody...in ..the...room!" He managed to say
Gibbs looked around in surprise and then gave Tim a questioning look
"Of course, there's nobody in the room"
"But.. she.. was.. here, boss. I saw her" said Tim
"Who was here?" Gibbs narrowed his eyes
"The..the fortune teller..." Tim said
"What fortune teller? What do you mean?" Gibbs asked
Tim was starting to feel better, so laid down on his bed and told Gibbs what happened in the Gypsies carnival when they were chasing Damon
"And this is the amulet she gave me" Tim picked up the Amulet from his pocket and showed it to Gibbs
Gibbs just shook his head and said
"I don't know what to say, Tim, but I don't think she was here...There's noway she could get in here... you must have been dreaming, kid" Gibbs said with compassion
"But I wasn't even asleep, boss" Tim objected
"You must have fallen asleep at some point. Don't feel bad about it now...Sometimes our dreams seems very real...it could have happened to anyone of us"
Gibbs tried to make the younger man feel better
"You may be right, boss...what was I thinking? Sorry I woke you up" Tim blushed and added
"I'm so sleepy now" Tim yawned
"If you need anything call me" Gibbs said gently
"Good night, boss"
"Night, Tim"
NCIS
"Good morning, Guys" Tim said with a big smile on his face when he walked into the bullpen the next morning
"Morning, Tim"
"Morning, Probie...how are you feeling, man?! sorry stupid question" Tony said nervously and bit his lower lip
"It's okay, Tony...I feel good...better than yesterday, actually" he smiled
"Really?! how could this be possible...I mean ...I mean...that's great" Ziva just stumbled over her own words
"Listen, guys...I don't want things to get awkward in here, Okay...Let's just pretened that nothing is going on and focus on what we came here to do" Tim said firmly
"If only that was possible" Tony whispered
"We'll do our best, McGee, to keep our mouths shout" Ziva said firmly
making Tony and Tim laugh so hard
"It's shut, Ziva...keep our moths shut not shout" Tim said with a gorgeous smile
"Thank you, Tim...I won't forget it" She smiled back
"Where's Gibbs?" Tony asked
"He's at director Vance's office" said Tim
Tim sat at his desk, turned on his computer and started working
NCIS
Gibbs came back to the office with coffee cups for everyone and they took them gratefully
"How's Vance doing, Boss?" Tony asked
"On the verge of insanity, and I can't blame him" Gibbs huffed and looked at Tim
"How are you doing, Tim?" He asked kindly
"I'm fine, Boss...you don't have to worry about me" Tim answered with a smile
"Have you finished your paper work?" Gibbs asked his team
"Yes we have, Boss" Tony answered
"Okay then...now we need to go over everything one more time, ...Tony, One more time, where was the last time the girls were seen? their friends statements, their parents statements, their phone call records. ... Tim start checking on every detail in Corporal Damon's file that we might have missed and Ziva ... Corporal Daniel Damon's last phone call records and his co-workers statements"
"On it, Boss" they answered
"Good...Take it easy, Tim...don't wear yourself out, okay?" Gibbs said kindly
"Okay, boss"
"I have an important meeting in a few minutes...I don't want to push you too hard but the truth is that we are between a rock and a hard place...We need to find a clue soon" Gibbs huffed one more time
"Do you think he killed them, boss?" Tony asked
"No, he didn't, Tony, or at least I hope so" Tim answered the question
"The look I saw in his eyes before he dies wasn't a killer's look...It was the look of a man who is suffering...a man who is grieving but definitely not a man who would kill" Tim said
"We all hope so" Gibbs sighed "Jarvis and Leon are losing it...I hope they don't have to suffer the loss of a child" Gibbs said bitterly before leaving the bullpen
NCIS
Two hours later ...
"You look tired, Tim...You should take a break" Ziva said worriedly
Tim rubbed his head and said
"I'm fine, Ziva. It's just a headache that is bothering me that's all"
He picked a couple of pain killers from his drawer and swallowed them with a sip of water
It wasn't just a headache it was nausea and breathing difficulty but he just kept his mouth shut and kept working.
"Bino..." Tim said drawing his co-workers attention
"I have discovered the presece of a property that belongs to Corporal Damon's deceased wife and is registered in her maiden name ...I hope that's where he hid the girls"
"Good job, McGee." Gibbs said while walking into the bullpen
"Let's go" He said taking the adress from Tim
"Wish us luck, Probie" Tony said with a smile before they leave
Once they left the bullpen, Tim felt he doesn't have to pretened any more...he was much more than exhausted...he loosened his neck tie and tried to breathe deeply but it was difficult. He hoped rubbing his forehead would help his headache so he did, but was still very exhausted and in pain
He rested his head on the desk, thinking a little break would do the trick.
All of a sudden he started hearing whispers around him ...he lifted his head from his desk and looked around but no one was there...He put his head back on the desk and one more time there were whispers around him...
"Is that what happens with dying people?" He wondered.
He felt himself drifting off. Suddely he felt cool breeze touching his neck then he felt
a gentle touch on his shoulder, he looked up lazily and he was shocked to find her in front of his eyes...Rosa Maiara
"Hello, child" She said with a warm smile
"You?!" He said in shock
"How did you...?" He shook his head just to make sure it's not his imagination...but she stayed where she was
"I don't have much time, Child, neither do you...soon you are going where you belong and I have to tell you this...I Just wanna help...I can help you find the girls"
"How did you know about that?!"
"There's no much time...listen, Daniel is a good boy...He just made a bad choice...I want his soul to rest in peace. I wish I can guide to the place where he hid the girls but I can't. The only thing that I can do is to guide you to the person who can help you and that's my grand child. Her name is..."
"MeGee...McGee wake up...Timmy...Wake up" Abby's voice ended his dream
"What...what happened?...Abby!" Tim looked around unable to tell the difference between what's real and what's not, anymore
"You were having a restless sleep as if you were having a nightmare." Abby said
Tim just looked at her and then looked around and said nothing...then he stood up snatched his jacket and said
"I have to do something, Abby. If Gibbs asks about me...tell him that I won't be late"
NCIS
Tim took his Porsche and drove to where the Gypsies carnival was
He needs to see this women and knows exactly what does she want and why is she haunting him like that
When he got there he didn't find what he came for . The Carnival was gone and instead, he found some circus workers fixing their tents and some of them were rehearsing.
He approached one of the employees and greeted him
"There used to be a Crnival in here...Gypsies carnival"
"Ah...Of course...they moved to a new state early this morning, my friend...but I don't know where exactly did they go"
"Thank you" Tim left cursing his luck
How is he supposed to meet her now. He was very disappointed
He drove away lost in his thoughts, one more time thinking of his family, his friends , the case and that damn headache was killing him.
One more time he started hearing whispers?! What the hell is going on...is he dying or going crazy?
He felt sharp pain in his chest
"Dammit."
The pain intensified. He tried to ignore it but it got worse, so he decided to park on the side of the road till he feels better.
breathe in ...breathe out...he tried to calm the pain
He's really dying...He didn't want to believe it or may be he just didn't give himself the time to think about it.
He rested his head on the wheel for fifteen minutes till the pain finally subsided. He took a few more deep breathes to make sure he's really fine, and then he headed back to the headquarters
NCIS
"Where the hell have you been, McGee?" Gibbs said the minute Tim walked into the bullpen
"I had to do something, boss" Tim said calmly
"Couldn't you just wait till we get back and drive you where you wanna go? You left you damn phone on your desk, we couldn't contact you" Gibbs said
"You had us worried, prbie" Tony said with genuine concern in his eyes
"I'm sorry guys...Didn't mean to make you worried. So, What happened? " Tim asked
Gibbs huffed and said briefly "No sign of the girls"
"Dammit" Tim whispered. He's been really hoping to find these girls ASAP...They must be terrified. He felt a sqeezing pain ...He touched his chest and took a deep breathe trying to hide it and said
"Okay...let's ..."
"Let's not...I'll take you home, McGee...that's enough for today" Gibbs interrupted him
Tim really wanted to object but he was very tired so just nodded and said
"I just have to see Abby before I leave"
NCIS
"HI, Abby" He said with a smile on his face as he walked into the lab
"TIMMY" She said cheerfully
"I ...There's something Important that i need to tell you" he said
"Go ahead, Timmy..."
"I ...I want to tell you that...well..." He bit his lower lip
"What is it, Timmy? you are scaring me" she said worriedly
"Nothing...Just wanted to say I'm so sorry I took off like that when you woke me up in the bullpen, but there was something important I had to take care of"
He said giving her a charming smile...He just didn't have the courage to tell her what he really wanted to tell her...That he was dying
"It's okay, Timmy, Everyone in the agency is stressed about what's going on. Take a seat" she said
"No...I have to go home... I'll see you tomorrow"
He kissed her cheek and walked away but she didn't hear him whisper
"I will miss you"
NCIS
The wrok was in full swing, One more time detecting Corporal Damon's properties everywhere and searching them including his deseaced parents' house, but they found nothing...
Everybody was upset, it's almost a week since the girls were kidnapped and things are not getting better.
Tim was wearing himself out this whole week...he was particularly very tired today
He rubbed his eyes tirdly. It's was still eleven in the morning yet he felt worn out
"I'm gonna get some coffee...anyone wants some?"
"I can get you coffee if you want, Probie" Tony offered when he noticed that his friends looks exhausted
"No, thank you, Tony. I need to get some fresh air" Tim smiled
He grabed his cell phone and stood up to leave but suddenly he felt that the room is spining around him.
He tried to grab something for support but before he could react his knees buckled and he was on the floor in a heap.
"McGee..." They all yelled at the same time...Tony was the first to jump from behind his desk.
With shaking hands, he touched McGee's neck to feel for pulse
Gibbs kneeled beside him, yelled at Ziva to call Ducky and he picked up his cell phone to call an ambulance
"Open your eyes, Probie" Tony said nervously but Tim was totally out cold.
Ducky Joined them in five minutes
"What on earth happened here, Jethro?" He said while kneeling next to them
"would you please give young Timothy here a speace ...he needs to breathe" He said and they all obeyed
"The poor kid is wearing himself out Jethro and...heavens ...his blood pressure is very low...and his pulse is too rapid...What happened, Jethro?"
Ziva and Tony exchanged glances and Gibbs took a deep breathe and said
"We need to get him to a hospital" Gibbs said
"Paramedics are here, boss" Tony said urgently
"He didn't look well the past few days...Is there something I should know, Jethro?" Duck waited for an answer
"I'll tell you everything later, Duck"
