Chapter 11

Tom Morrow motioned for two of his men to pick up the unconscious McGee; he put an arm on Gibbs' shoulder.

"You can see him soon; let me explain this to you." Morrow said hoping Gibbs would see reason and back down.

Gibbs moved aside after looking at the warrant and looked at him, "Explain." He growled.

"Gibbs!" Abby came running into the bullpen. "What's going….Timmy!" she shrieked "OMG, What happened…is he hurt?" she knelt beside him and stroked his forehead.

"No this suit here, just jabbed Tim with a needle and knocked him out." Tony said and snatched up the syringe, "You wanna run it and see what it is?" He asked her.

Abby grabbed a bag and placed the syringe in it.

"Gibbs, why would he want to hurt Tim?" She asked.

"That's what we all want to know." Ziva said as Gibbs walked up behind Abby and helped her up.

"It's classified." Tom said, "Gibbs, you and Director Vance only."

"Not happening, my team gets read in as well, it's to do with them, and Tim is family."

Tom nodded he knew how stubborn Gibbs could get and he knew the sedative that his men had pumped Tim with would only last so long.


"Fine," He snapped, "Let's get this done." They walked towards a conference room and Tom stopped to say something to one of his men and continued after them.

"Right, POTUS has tasked Homeland Security to re-evaluate the McGee siblings in the wake of the incident with the group known as The Way." Tom said.

"Re- Evaluate?" Gibbs asked keeping a tight reign on his emotions.

"We had reports that Tim McGee admitted that he could if unchecked be a dangerous weapon. If he were to defect or be coerced by another group the consequences for the United States could be catastrophic." Morrow said.

"Tim would never turn traitor!" Tony said not believing that this absurd idea was coming from his former director.

"We don't know that. Not for sure." Morrow stated. "Also we had no knowledge of the telepathy the sibling had, POTUS wants us to find out if they can use it on others, they have been in meeting with high level diplomats and we want to know if they have stolen any information."

"This is crazy!" Abby blurted, "Timmy is loyal to a fault, he's the most honest man you'll ever meet and he loves his country!"

"Honestly Tom," Vance said "Look at the boy's service record it is squeaky clean."

"Not so 'squeaky' I'm afraid; there have been reports of him hacking into secure government databases,"

"On MY orders, for a case or to stop a terrorist attack!" Gibbs snarled.

"And the fact that his father turned out to be the leader of a terrorist group, genetically, he could be predisposed to this kind of thing." Morrow shot back at him.

"For goodness sake Tom, Just wake him up and let him answer for himself." Vance said.

"We will talk to him when he's awake he's on his way to a secure holding facility." Morrow informed them.

Gibbs, Tony and Ziva jumped to their feet as one. "What, you just took him!" Ziva exclaimed.

"Where is he?" Gibbs snarled.

"You will be told where he is in a week after you've been given clearance." Morrow said and strode from the building leaving a very angry MCRT in his wake.


Tim woke up; he was in a plain white room with no windows but a large two-way mirror, 'just like interrogation' he thought.

He realized he was wearing white scrubs and not his clothes and his feet were cold as he quickly realized he wasn't wearing anything else.

Mentally he reached out for Sarah and he slammed back onto the bed in pain.

"OK note to self…. Don't do that again!" he said, that at least told him his voice and hearing worked.

He was not tied up and he wasn't in a hospital… so where was he?

He cast his mind back to what he could remember, he was working when he had lost contact with Sarah….he panicked again as he realized he still couldn't contact her. Having her mind linked with his was a reassuring contact for him. Being without her, made him feel mentally adrift. It scared him!

He started to hyperventilate and hugged himself rocking back and forth on the bed. As he lost focus, he heard people running into the room.

"I need you to relax we don't want to have to sedate you again." A calm voice said.

Tim tried to focus on the voice.

"Who are you? Where's Sarah?" his voice shook.

"We are Homeland Security, Sarah is safe. The medication we are trying on you suppresses your telepathy." The doctor explained.

"Please." Tim begged, "We've done nothing wrong please I NEED to see her."

He shuddered as flashback of the tests they had undergone in the last two weeks past through his mind along with the memory of the pain as well.

"Please!" Tim sobbed terrified they had hurt her as much as they had hurt him.

The Doctor looked fleetingly towards the mirror.

Tim ran towards the mirror, shocked at how he looked, bruised, haggard and with dark circles under each eye.

"PLEASE JUST LET ME SEE SARAH!" He screamed.


On the other side of the glass, Ziva wiped a tear away as both Tony and Gibbs stood anger oozing from every pore.

"What the hell did you guys do to him?" Gibbs growled.

"Let him see his sister, you can't do this!" Tony said.

"Actually," Director Morrow said. "Under the Terrorism Act we can."

"FOR GOD SAKE!" Gibbs flipped at his former boss, "He's a Federal Agent not a Goddamn Terrorist!" he looked back at Tim as he slid down the wall and put his head in his hands.

Morrow turned and walked out waiting for the doctor to leave Tim's room.

"Director Morrow." The doctor turned and walked up to the group, "They need to see each other, they are dying!

"What are you doing to them?" Gibbs grabbed the doctor and Tony pulled Gibbs' arm away.

The doctor straightened his coat, "Nothing, since they were brought in their Stat's have been steadily declining. Subject two, the girl is faring worse."

"Her name is Sarah." Tony said.

"Sorry I meant no disrespect, we were not told their names just subject one and two." He explained.

"Who are you?" Tony asked him.

"Dr Daniel Murnane." He introduced himself. "And Agent Gibbs the only thing we have done is kept them separated, all the pain subject one is experiencing is in his head. Keeping them separate seems to be pushing them both into psychosis"

Morrow frowned at the doctor and then made a decision. "Move Subject…Sarah's bed in with Tim's and monitor their vitals, if there is no improvement we separate again.
