Chapter Four:-
"I don't Believe no one told me what's going on with young Timothy" Ducky shook his head sadly while waiting with Gibbs and his team in the waiting room at Bethesda hospital .
"It was Tim's will, Duck, not ours. " Gibbs replied calmly
"What about his family?! I don't see anyone of them around...have you contacted them, Jethro?"
"They are out of the country, Duck and Tim thought he would call them when the time is right"
"Heavens, Jethro...He told no one...Not his family, not me, not Jimmy and not Abby...they have the right to know"
"He didn't want what happened to him to be a distraction. We were just respecting his wishes, Duck and..."
"Good evening, Agent Gibbs"
Dr Wagner the cardiologist said calmly interrupting their argument
Gibbs jumped out of his chair followed by everybody in the room
"Dr. Wagner, How's Tim doing?"
Dr. Wagner just shook his head and said
"Don't know what to say...I Wish there's a way to sugarcoat the truth but sadly there isn't...Agent McGee is...well, his heart is not doing so well I'm afraid . His heart is too weak... a couple of days, I'd say...may be more and may be less"
They all gasped in horror
"Did you tell him that?" Gibbs said after taking a minute to get himself together
"Yes, I have" Dr. Wagner said briefly
"Thank you, Dr. Wagner"
"I'm so sorry, Agent Gibbs...I wish there was something I could do"

They walked into Tim's room quietly...He was laying in bed...Tim's eyes were closed and a face mask was covering his very pale face to help him breathe.
"He's still too young to die, Boss" Tony whispered sadly
"Yes, he's, Tony" Gibbs just clenched his hands into fists
Ziva got closer to his bed...brushed his hair with her fingers and Tim's eyes fluttered open
"Hey, guys" He gave them a weary smile...When he saw the sad faces around him, he wanted to reassure them that he's not in any pain but he was so tired
"How are you doing, Young Timothy?...comfortable I hope"
Tim took a minute to breathe, then weakly removed his face mask and said
"Fine...Ducky, considering...I'm... sorry, for... not... telling... you...I just..." his voice was barely audible
"There's nothing to appologize for, Timothy...I understand. And please put this back on" Ducky put the face mask back on Tim's face
Tim turned his face towards Gibbs
"Boss, I...think... it's time... to... call... parents and let ...them know" his weak voice was muffled by the face mask
"Don't worry, Tim. I will take care of that" Gibbs said sadly
Tim struggled to breathe and said
"Abby mustn't know...she needs to get the job done "
"But, Tim, she's gonna be very angry and sad...she needs to see you and say...goodbye"
Tony's voice cracked
"He's right, Tim..." Ziva's calm voice didn't reflect the deep sadness in her eyes
Tim turned his face towards Gibbs and Gibbs nodded his agreement with what Tony and Ziva said.
"Okay then ...and Palmer" Tim said
"Relax, Tim...we'll take care of everything" Ziva said while wiping her tears

Gibbs Ended the call with Admiral McGee and took a deep breathe...that was definitely one of the hardest phone calls he had to make
"So?" Tony asked his boss already knowing the answer
Gibbs shook his head and said
"He was ...terrified when he heard the news...and of course I don't blame him...they're taking the first flight back to DC...Now, it's Abby's turn...I prefer to give her the news personally"
The minute he finished his sentence, his phone started ringing and Abby's name was on the caller ID
"Gibbs" he answered his phone
"Where are you guys? I've tried to call you like a million times and nobody answered..." she started
"Listen, Abby...we've been busy... doing something...What's it that you wanted to tell me?" said Gibbs
" I've been doing my research and I found out that Corporal Damon rented an apartment that's two blocks away from the Vance's residence, two months ago..."
said Abby
"That's great news, Abby...text me the address and we'll be there ASAP" Gibbs said and turned towards Tony and Ziva
"Let's go"

Tim was lying in his hospital bed very tired , When Gibbs walked into his room
"Tim...we have a new lead, son...We'll be back in no time"
He patted Tim's shoulder encouragingly
"Your mom, dad and Sarah are coming back very soon...be strong, kid"
Gibbs said and left
Tim closed his eyes and allowed himself to drift off
"Hello, child..." The gentle words alerted him
"Where...have...you...been?" He managed to say
"Around, my child, I've been around...I'm so happy for you...you're almost there...You just need to let go now...When you get there you'll finally be able to help the girls...You have work to do on the other side...there's no time you need to go now"
"But...Who are you? Why are you doing this?Why me...Why are you haunting me? "
"You don't remember me, do you, my dear son?" She said calmly
"Should I?" He said " I don't believe we've met before that day at the carnival" Tim answered
"But we have" She smiled calmly
Suddenly he felt that those eyes are so familiar yet so foreign...does he know her? has he seen her before?
"I feel that...Who are you?" He was very confused
"Everything in a good time, child...first of all, Daniel Damon is my grandchild" she spoke with him for ten minutes and when she was done she added
"Don't forget to tell your friends that only Gabriella will know where to find the children.
Now take my hand, son, do you see the light ...that's where you need to go...you don't belong here ...follow the light and you'll be just fine, but before you do, you need to give me what's mine...I have to take back the amulet"
"It's ...in...my pocket" he pointed at his jacket and she took it out of his pocket
"Take care, child, God bless you" she touched his head and disappeared
Tim's body started to convulse and the machines started beeping loudly
The medical staff rushed into his room, trying to help him
Tim grabbed Dr. Wagner's arm and said
"I...need...to ...see...Gibbs, Now"
NCIS
Gibbs drove like a crazy maniac back to the hospital when Dr Wagner called him
Dr Wagner got out of Tim's room when Gibbs and his team arrived. He shook his head and said
"I'm so sorry... It's only a matter of minutes. He needs to see you"
They rushed into the room and were terrified with how pale Tim looked
Tim looked at them and tried to smile but he failed badly. For the first time in his life Tim sees his boss' tears .
"Your family are on the way, Tim...be strong, son" Gibbs said holding Tim's hand
Tim grabbed Gibbs' hand weakly and said
"Tell...my family ...I'm sorry ...f.f.f find the girls... find G..Gabriella Gonzales...She knows where t...the gir..rls are...tell Abby...am sorry.
Don't forget, boss...Gabriella Maiara Gonzales knows"
The machines started beeping loudly and Tim started hearing whispers around him one more time.
He took a final look at his friends who were devastated and speechless
"It's been a pleasure working with you guys...thanks for everything"
the green eyes fluttered closed ...The body that was full of energy became so still
Timothy McGee finally followed the light to the other side.
