Three reviews. Not bad. Not bad at all. Since gotta wished on a star I will make the wish come true cuz I am nice like that.
But, not that nice. The chapter will be short and a little vague. Hee hee that's how I roll…I learned how to be annoying from DiNozzo, he's the king of teasing and I am queen.
Tim rode the elevator up to Vance's office. He felt a little better now that he had his hug.
It been his first order of business since he walked back onto the Naval Yard.
He even made a small checklist. He checked out item one. "Okay I've seen Abby now time to see Vance…though I doubt I'll get a hug" he murmured to himself.
He walked into the outer office and the secretary gasped. Tim ignored it and walked into Vance's office.
"I see Gibbs rubbed off on you" he said and Tim blushed. "Oh…sorry…I thought I…knocked" he said.
Leon could see the young man was deeply troubled. "Since you called and arranged this meeting…"
"Yes" Tim said, cutting him off. "My mission is over…I just don't know what to do now"
Leon nodded. "It was a tough mission Tim…I didn't expect you to be all smiles coming in" he said.
Tim managed a small one. "That's about all I can do sir…it's a little one because I really am happy to be home…but…" he said and trailed off.
"I understand Tim…I really do…I guess Gibbs and the others will be up shortly…are you ready for them?" he asked.
Tim nodded. Sure enough, ten minutes later, the team walked in. Abby brought everyone, including Jimmy and Ducky.
Everyone except Abby gaped at him as they entered.
"McGee? What are you doing here? I thought you quit!" Gibbs snapped, the first to speak.
"I did Gibbs…now I returned" he answered.
Gibbs strolled to him. "Why?" he asked as he went toe to toe with his former agent.
"It had nothing to do with any of you Gibbs…she needed my help…I'll do anything for her" he said.
"Who? Who made you leave us Timothy?" Ducky asked.
"Sarah…but don't worry…she won't make me leave again…she's…" Tim said and his knees buckled.
Gibbs caught him and Tony grabbed a chair. The two men eased Tim down and Gibbs knelt to him.
"Where is she Tim?" he asked curiously.
"She's with Kate, Gibbs" he answered.
Everyone gasped and Tim nodded. "It's why…why I left here…now…now I just want to come home…and forget" Tim stammered and shed a few tears.
Everyone looked to Tim then Vance. "Did you know Leon?" Gibbs asked.
Leon nodded. "Sit down everyone, we'll explain everything" he offered.
He grabbed a box of tissues from his desk and handed it to Tim. "Take it easy Tim…deep breaths…you're with family again" he said.
Tim nodded. He looked up and studied every face. He saw no resentment, but curiosity and love. It gave him a bit of strength.
I warned you I killed off a minor character. I still got to explain how she died and if Tim comes back to work so hope you all stay tuned. Review please, I love those, it's like candy and I have a big sweet tooth.
