Chapter Six:-
That day at the Carnival...
Tony was searching the second floor of the barn when he heard the argument between Tim and corporal Damon
He went back quickly and stood on the top of the stairs aiming his gun at Daniel Damon
He didn't feel Damon's a threat ...He was so proud that Tim was keeping everything under control and even when Damon held his gun and aimed it to his own head, Tim shot him in the leg and the later's gun fell far away from his grip
Tony was about to dial Gibbs' number to tell him that they found Damon and everything is under control when Damon made his move...everything happened so fast after that
Tony stood there watching helplessly as the electricity moved through the wather to where Tim was standing and Tim's body started shaking violently
"NO" Tony cried...but he could do nothing to help him
He looked around for something that can help...but he found nothing
Suddenly and unexpectidly there was a blast out of nowhere...It wasn't a massive explosion... it was just powerful enough to throw Tim's body across the room, making him hit the door of the basement behind him and falling on the stairs.
and suddenly everything went quiet
"TIM...TIM...Can you hear me? Are you okay?" Tony yelled at the top of his lungs but there was no answer
With shaking hands Tony dialed Gibbs' number and told him what happened and asked him to call an ambulance and firefighters to confirm that electricity is no longer a threat in the barn.
The minute the experts confirmed that it's safe and the electricity is no longer a threat,
Tony rushed towards the basement...ran down the basement stairs even before the paramedics get in and he fell on his knees next to his unconscious friend
"Tim...Tim..." he touched his neck to feel for a pulse and sighed in relief when he found one
Tim was just lying there on the floor...blood was oozing profusely from a wound in his head...
"Damn" Tony mummbled
He stepped aside the minute the paramedics got into the basement and let them do their job
He felt a hand on his shoulder and it was such a relief when he saw Gibbs and Ziva
Ziva hugged him kindly without saying a word
"Boss, I really don't know how did that happen? Everything happened so fast...I didn't get the chance to ..."
"Calm down, Tony...everything is gonna be just fine" Gibbs patted Tony's shoulder encouragingly
The paramedics fixed Tim on the gurney and were ready to move him to the ambulance in a few minutes
"I'm going with him" Tony said firmly following the gurney
NCIS
Hospital scene...
Ducky, Abby and Jimmy met the rest of the team at the hospital
After an hour in the waiting room, Dr. Newton the neurologist walked into the room
"Are you here for Timothy McGee?" he said calmly and they all stood up
"Please, sit down" he said and took a seat next to them
`"My names is Edward Newton...I'm the neurologist on call that took care of Agent McGee Today...Agent McGee came here suffering from an electric shock but that's not our main concern cause the shock didn't cause much damage...the blast that happened in the room, according to you, Saved his life, if it wasn't for that he would have been dead.
Our main concern now is the head injury...There's no obvious damage in the tissue of the brain but there's a significant swelling, though
We're gonna run more tests but right now...He's irresponsive to anything...pain, light or sound...we couldn't wake him up. I'm afraid Agent McGee is in a coma...I'm sorry" He finally said
Gasps filled the room
Abby was the first to speak
"Waht does that mean...will he wake up soon?" Her voice was shaking
"It can be very difficult to predict recovery when a person is in a coma, Dear Abigail." Ducky was the one to answer
"Every person is different...but comas that result from head injuries tend to have a high rate of recovery" He added
"He is right, Miss. It's difficult to predict the prognosis in coma patients ...but as he said Head injury coma have higher rates of recovery than other types of coma" Dr. Newton confirmed what Ducky said
Tony rubbed his face and said
"Can we see him?"
"Of course...follow me, please" Dr. Newton said politely
NCIS
"That's what happened, Probie...you've been in a coma since then" Tony said
"If it wasn't for the blast...I would have been dead?" Tim asked in confusion
"Yes, Tim...believe me, I still don't know where did that blast came from...May be it was the electricy box but it was away from the water...how and why did the explosion happened, I don't know...it was as if an angel is watching over you" Tony said
"It was the amulet...it was her...Rosa Maiara..." Tim whispered
"The what?! Who is Rosa Maiara?" Gibbs narrowed his eyes
Tim hesitated a little before he speaks then the he made up his mind and told them what happened at the carnival right before they found Damon...and how Rosa Maiara gave him the amulet ... then he told them everything that happened in his dream or his vision, he was confused what to call it
"She told me that her granddaughter, Gabriella Maiara Gonzales would know where the girls are...She told me that Daniel Damon is also her grandson and she wants to help his soul to rest in peace"
"WOW...That's just...strange..."
Tony didn't find more suitable word to describe what he just heard...he sounded skeptical but he didn't want his friend to fee l like he's offending him.
"The strange thing here is that some of the events that you mentioned, really happened with us...for example we found a property that's registered in his wife's name...and we found a rented apartment two blocks away from Vance's house...how did you know that?!"
Tony said in disbelief
"Did you discuss what was going on with you in the case in my room while I was sleeping?" Tim asked
"Yes,...I used to tell you everything in details every time I visited you while you were in a coma" Tony admitted
"I used to hear whispers everywhere may be that's how I knew" Tim said eagrly
"I don't know what to say, Probie...That's just too much to comprehend. I just can't lie to you and tell you that i believe the hocus pocus the fortune teller says ...and in your case I still insist that, It was just a dream, Probie and It's probably just your good luck that saved your life Tim" Tony said
"It wasn't a dream, Tony...you said it yourself coma patients don't have dreams" Tim said desperate to make them take what he said seriously
Gibbs was just listening he didn't participae in the conversation then he said
"If this woman wants to help, as you said, Why would she visit you in your dream and tell you?
Why didn't she just show up with her garnddaughetr Gabriella and report that story and tell us where to find the girls?! ...Why you, Tim?" Gibbs asked calmly
"BECAUSE...I dont' know, Boss...Frankly, I don't know" Tim said
Gibbs and Tony felt bad when they saw doubt and confusion in the younger man's eyes
"It okay, Tim...your mind is still confused,kid...you have been in a coma for two weeks for God's sake, man...you need a break" Tony said gently
"Would you do me a favor, Tony" Tim whispered
"Anything" Tony said sincerely
"Would you please check my personal belongings and tell me if a silver amulet is among them" Tim said nervously
Tony didn't want to disappoint his sick friend so he said
"Of course, Tim" Tony got out of the room and came back after five minutes with a closed box in his hands
"Here, Tim...I will open it for you"
Tony opened the box and started checking its contents...they found Tim's outfits, his wallet, his cell phone, his watch and his badge but no amulet
Tim rubbed his face desperately
"She gave me the amulet that day, Boss...right before I walk into this barn with Tony, but She came to me right before I wake up and she asked me to give her the amulet...she took it back...don't look at me like this...I'm not crazy, guys...I'm not crazy. That's what happened"
Tim's heart monitor started beeping loudly
A nurse rushed into the room to check on Tim
"Please, leave now...he needs to rest" she said firmly
"No...Don't leave" He said nervously
"Boss, please...you have to trust me...Just find If Gabriella exists...Rosa told me Gabriella would know where to find the girls... I don't care what you think of me...our priority is to find the girls...I may be wrong...It may be delusions or a confused mind or a dream or whatever...but It also may be a message, okay?! Please, boss find her"
Gibbs patted Tim's hand gently and said
"Relax, kid...we'll do what you want...I will find her...What's her full name again"
Tim started to relax when his boss assured him that at least he would try
"Gabriella, Boss... Gabriella Maiara Gonzales" Tim said clearly
"You are looking for Dr. Gonzales?! she works here" The nurse said
"She what?!" the three of them said at the same time
"Dr. Gabriella Maiara Gonzales works here" The nurse confirmed what she said
They all looked shocked but Gibbs was the first to speak
"Where's she? Can we see her... now?"
The nurse checked her watch and said
"She'll be here in a couple of hours "
"Unbelieveable...this can't be a coincidence" Tony mumbled and looked at his freind who said
"See...I'm not crazy, Boss" Tim sighed in relief
"Don't worry, Probie...we'll see her the minute she gets here " Tony said
Tim's grip started to loosen on Gibbs' hand as he was drifting off
"Good...you do that, please" he whispered
" Have you contacted my family and told them that I'm awake"
he said weakly
Tony and Gibbs exchanged worried glances
"No, we haven't, Tim...not yet" Gibbs said
"Alright...call them, please...I bit they were terrified " Tim lost the battle to stay awake and he fell in a deep sleep.
"We'll do that, kid"
those were the last wrods Tim heard before in fell into deep sleep
