Disclaimer as chapter 1

Chapter 9

Matt McGee picked Tim up by the throat and hurled him across the room.

"Do you think you can stop me?" He screamed in his sons face.

Tim collapsed against the ground and mumbled "No."

The elder man laughed and kicked Tim in the ribs until he was in a ball.

Sarah pulled herself up and stretched out her hand.

Matt McGee stopped laughing as he was lifted into the air by an unseen force. "Leave my brother alone." Sarah said quietly.

She flicked her wrist and her father flew through the air and landed with a sickening crunch on the floor, his eyes staring lifelessly towards her.

"Sarah?" Tim groaned trying desperately to get to his sister as he realized what she had done. She helped him get to his feet as Ziva and Dave made it to the room,

"Daddy!" Sarah called launching herself sobbing at her father.

"Sarah, Tim…Oh my God are you both ok?" He asked hugging his children.

"We're ok, Dad where's Tony and Gibbs?" Tim asked.

"Hopefully Gibbs has caught the traitor by now." Ziva snapped, "Don't worry Tim. He'll pay for what he did to you."

"What... WHAT!" Tim yelled. He grabbed Sarah's hand and ran out of the room.

"Oh my God, Sarah…Tony took the bomb!"

All four of them ran out of the building just in time to see Gibbs shoot Tony in the shoulder and him trip and drop backwards onto the concrete with a crunch cradling the bomb with his body.

"Stop! Gibbs….No don't!" Tim yelled at him running, full pelt in his direction with Sarah at his heels.

Gibbs lowered his gun slightly and looked over in Tim's direction.

Tim ran past him to Tony and knelt by his side.

"Tony?" Tim looked at his friend.

Tony opened his eyes as Gibbs and Ziva ran up.

"Tim…is Sarah safe?" Tony groaned.

"We're fine, you need to give up the bomb now," Tim said trying to take the bomb from his friend.

"Can't switch broken…take Sarah and run…please Tim." Tony begged.

"Tony No," Tim looked frantically around tears pricking his eyes, "Boss, please stop him."

"Tony is there anyone else in the group knows how to stop the bomb?" Gibbs asked.

"Can't…." Tony said trying hard to stay awake as concussion set in.

"FOR GOD SAKE!" Gibbs yelled at Tony, "This group isn't that important you need to stop this madness and tell us now!"

Tim stopped and looked at Gibbs.

"Boss…Tony isn't part of the group."

"Tim he helped put you in the van we have it on tape."

"No. It was just Joe…Tony always helps him move the bigger rubbish to the van, Joe had a bad back and he told Tony as Tony is always there at night for him to talk to but he couldn't afford to lose his job. He didn't know it was me."

"Tim," Gibbs said, "There is other evidence…"

"Boss, Sarah saw a total list of all The Way's members. Tony is NOT on that list." Tim said earnestly.

Gibbs paled when he realized what he had done.

An ambulance turned up and Dave was directing Ducky to the bodies.

Sarah knelt next to Tony "It's ok Tony, Tim and I will take care of it." She said quietly.

Sarah and Tim held hands and together levitated the bomb and slowly small pieces came flying off it landing harmlessly on the ground.

"Dad, The bomb's safe," They said at exactly the same time.

Dave grinned at his children and shook his head in wonder.

"Thanks kids." He smiled at them.

"Bomb safe now?" Tony asked.

"Yeah Tony." Gibbs said to him, a second later

Tony breathed a sigh of relief and passed out.

Three days had passed and Tony had not woken up. The doctors at Bethesda said Tony had a major concussion and was in a coma. There was no time frame on when he would wake up but all signs were hopeful.

Tim had gone over every single piece of evidence they had on Tony and had managed to prove his innocence.

The journal had been a forgery, Joe had taken the card from the evidence lock up and used that plus a few notes Tony had thrown out to have his handwriting forged. It had backfired especially as Tim admitted the signature on the evidence card was actually a forgery in itself. It was the forgery he had done and given to Agent Dorneget when Tony had been fussing about signing it one morning.

"Apparently my father not only wanted his plan to succeed, but he had wanted me to lose the family I had built up here, by sowing the seeds of distrust." Tim had said when he presented his evidence to Gibbs and Vance, thus clearing Tony's name.

Tim and Gibbs turned up at the hospital together.

Abby was outside the room with Ziva fury on her face.

"Gibbs...Tony is awake!" She exclaimed.

"Who's with him?" Tim asked.

"No one, Tim. Tony kicked us out he's had the doctors ban us from his room." Abby was visibly upset while Ziva seethed with quiet anger.

Gibbs opened the door to Tony's room and ducked as a bedpan came sailing towards his head.

"GET OUT!" Tony screamed

Gibbs shut the door and turned to the team, "He's been like this since he woke up?" He asked.

"Yes, he is inane?" Ziva said

"Insane." Gibbs confirmed the word Ziva had been looking for, "And I don't know."

"Wait here." Tim said and put his head around the door.

"Tony?" he said softly.

He walked carefully into the room and saw Tony sitting on the hospital bed looking worn and tired.

"Hey Timmy, how are you and Sarah?" He asked trying to smile but failing.

"We are fine, thanks to you. You stopped the bomb from going off Tony." Tim told him.

"Didn't care if it did or didn't just as long as you were both safe." Tony muttered.

"Tony!" Tim said shocked "You're my best friend do you know that. I couldn't live if something bad had happened to you because of me."

Tony turned unable to face Tim and stared at the wall.

"Why won't you let the others come in?" Tim asked him.

Try as he might Tony couldn't stop the silent tears escape, "They don't trust me Tim." He said.

"Nonsense," Tim said opening the door and motioning them to come in.

"We do trust you Tony." Abby said, "You're a part of our team."

"No I'm not." Tony said flatly and turned his back on them again.
