Hi again, I know its quick but I am trying to give you all stuff to read because I will be busy soon.

See, my birthday is a week from Saturday and then once June begins it means summer begins so does my summer job which will keep me busy till September.

So yeah, I will try and do my stories a bit but know I will be getting busy soon.

The team arrived twenty minutes later. They approached Tony but he didn't look up.

"Tony?" Gibbs called and Tony bit his lip. "Anthony DiNozzo! Look at me when I call you!" he ordered.

Tony couldn't disobey a stern order and looked up to his boss.

"Hi boss" he said weakly. Gibbs could see fear in his agents eye and braced himself.

"What happened Anthony? You three investigated the entire house together right?" he asked.

Tony whimpered. "Not….not the whole house" he said.

Gibbs growled. "Explain! I want the truth!" he ordered.

"It was a prank Gibbs, you know McGee wrote that book and obviously the characters are us so…we left him to check out the cellar alone" Ziva spoke up.

She had sat next to Tony and Gibbs turned his hard stare on her.

"So what happened to my agent officer David?" He asked sharply.

Ziva shrugged. "I do not know Gibbs…we left him for only about ten minutes and…"

"Probie wasn't breathing when we went to check on him…he was on the floor and severely beaten" Tony finished.

Abby gasped and tears fell down her cheek. "Oh Timmy!" she gasped.

Gibbs grasped her into a hug. He sat in a chair next to Tony and pulled Abby onto his lap.

She threw her arms around his neck and cried on his shoulder.

"We didn't mean for McGee to get hurt boss!" Tony cried.

Gibbs glared at him. "But he did Tony! Because you had to play another stupid prank on him!" he growled.

"I'm sorry boss" Tony said softly.

"Don't apologize like you're a damn child Anthony! This isn't one of your stupid pranks I can just cover for! You're just lucky you brought Tim back from the dead!" he yelled.

Tony nodded. "I…I know boss…I feel lucky…I never…I never expected this" he stammered.

"What did you expect Tony? Do you even like Timmy?" Abby asked, still nestled in Gibbs strong arms.

Tony nodded stunned his sister asked him such a question. "Of course Abs! I can't believe you asked that!" he shouted.

"Keep your voice down Anthony!" Ducky chided him. "Abigail has a right to ask, especially after your foolishness…both of yours…" he added in a stern voice.

"Is this all because of Tim's book? Because…I mean…I was mad at the character he made of me but…it's actually a pretty good book" Jimmy asked.

"Really? I saw Pimmy Jalmer…dude…" Tony quipped and to his shock Palmer head slapped him.

"Doesn't make it right to ditch him on the job" he said.

"Palmer! Did you just…"

"And you won't hit back Tony!" Gibbs warned and Tony shrank back down in his chair.

"Thanks Jimmy" he muttered.

Abby nodded. "It is a good book Jimmy…I mean come on, we all saw the similarities but…who cares really? I think Timmy did a great job with the book and he deserved praise for it…instead he got…" Abby said and burst back into tears.

Tony sighed. "I know…this sucks…I wish I could take this all back…I really do…I like the kid…I mean it guys…I like Tim…he's cool…for a computer geek" Tony said.

"Well you can't Tony! Did you even read the book without being so damn judgmental?" Gibbs asked.

Tony shrugged. "I…I sort of…" he said. He stopped, sighed and shook his head. "I was so focused on it being me…then on harassing Timmy…I never gave the guy a break" he admitted.

"First step to recovery is admitting there is a problem Anthony" Ducky said.

Tony smiled at him. "Thanks Ducky…I really never wanted him to get hurt…I'd rather get hurt than see any of you get hurt" he said.

Gibbs only shook his head. "It's too late for that Tony…you broke my rule" he said in a very disappointed tone.

"Never screw over your partner" Tony murmured.

"So you know the rule but you can't follow it?" Gibbs asked.

"I…I guess not boss" Tony admitted. "I am so so sorry" he said.

"I am too Gibbs"

Gibbs was about to speak again when a doctor came over. The group had been so focused on scolding Tony and Ziva they didn't realize they been sitting for a half hour.

"Are you all here for Timothy McGee?" A doctor asked.

Abby stood up so Gibbs could talk to the doctor. "Yeah, I'm his boss Jethro Gibbs…how is my agent doing?" he asked in a concerned loving voice.

"Your agent is recovering in a room…he broke his wrist which seems to be the worst of it besides the pain…we put him on strong pain medicine and he is awake still if you would like to see him" he answered.

"Thanks doctor" Gibbs said and the doctor led the group to Tim's room.

Gibbs went in first with Tony and Ziva. Tim paled when he saw the three.

"I have nothing to say to them Gibbs" he said coldly. Tony could see he was doing better but his eyes were still cold.

Tony sighed. 'This is going to suck, Tim hates me and I can sense a pretty bad punishment headed my way…all because I let myself get so angry over a book' he thought.

"Were so sorry McGee" Ziva said. Tim scoffed. "Sorry doesn't cut it officer David" he said coldly.

"Tim"

"Don't call me Tim like were friends officer David!" Tim snapped. "I…I don't even know if we….if we ever were" he stammered.

Ziva rushed to him. Kneeling she took his hands. "We are Tim…least I know we were…I do not blame you for being angry with us…I just hope someday you can forgive us"

"Would you ever forgive me?" Tim asked.

Ziva shrugged. "I am not like you McGee…I've found it strange I've grown so fond of you and the others….so….maybe…with time" she answered.

"What about you Agent DiNozzo? Would you forgive me?" Tim asked.

Tony shrugged as well. "Hard to answer pro…I mean Tim" he said. He sighed. "I am sorry too Timmy….I really am…you weren't supposed to get hurt" he said.

Tm sighed. "I know Tony….but…it doesn't make what you did any better…I am so tired of you treating me like I'm never going to be as good as you!" he snapped.

Tony gasped. "That's not why I tease and prank you Tim!" he said.

"Then why?" Tim asked.

"I…I thought…I thought it would make us brothers…I don't have siblings" he said.

Tim shook his head. "Being a sibling is so much more than teasing Tony…a sibling would never leave a younger sibling behind…least I wouldn't have ever done that" he said.

"Timmy…"

"Just get out Tony….leave me alone and take Ziva with you…I don't want to see you two for a while…" he said.

The two left and Tim turned to Gibbs. "What will you do to them boss? Please, tell me you'll punish them for me….I have to be somewhat important to you!" Tim asked.

Cutting it off there. You all saw how I had it in original. Think Gibbs will lie again?
