"Agent Gibbs, DiNozzo, and David the director is ready for you." Cynthia tells us as Tony and Ziva stand up and walk with me into the director's office. Vance had for some reason call a meeting with my team a few hours after McGee stormed out. "Agents take a seat." Vance greets us dryly. "Because I have a busy day today I'm going to cut right to the point. McGee quit." I froze the words hit me like a bullet. McGee? No there's no way. "He quit an hour ago. Apparently he cracked under the pressure and teasing. Agent DiNozzo why do I have a feeling this has something to do with you?" He informed us and asked Tony. "Ahhh I ahhhh…. He stuttered.

"How did this happen? Why did you let him quit?" I demanded. "I told you Gibbs he cracked under the pressure and teasing. He wanted a clean break and I agreed." Just as I was about to start yelling Vance's phone went off. He listened for a while before saying "That's not surprising" and hanging up. "That was a good friend of mine in the FBI. McGee just joined. Congratulations Agent Gibbs you've lost another agent. First Agent Todd to the half brother of the women you hired to take her place, then Agent McGee to the FBI. What next?" I froze again. The thought of Kate hurt. I glanced over at Ziva. She was the sister of the killer that killed Kate and I hired her. To make it worse McGee joined the FBI. I lost my two youngest agents. Angrily I storm out of there and down to my desk with Tony and Ziva not far behind. "Dammit DiNozzo what did you do?" I hiss angrily at the senior agent. "I-I don't know boss I mean I…

"You don't know? Whatever you did drove McGee to quit! God knows how he put up with you for six dammed years if it was this bad!" I yell before I walk out of the bullpen to go home leaving a guilty looking DiNozzo sitting there.


"My god I am glad that case is over." Kevin said as he sat down. Six months later. "So what's the first thing you're going to do when you get back to your place Tim?"

"Take a nice hot shower before I collapse on my bed." I mutter. We had just got finished with a 3 day case where a rich drug lord went illegally selling Heroin. Unlucky for him he almost got caught and had to stop, but he was afraid his buyers would say something so he killed 12 people before we caught him. The idiot had his lawyers bust him out of interrogation by noon every time we go him in until we finally got evidence to throw him behind bars.

Unlucky for us Kevin, Tobias, and I hadn't slept in at all during the three days. We were thinking about calling Sacks for help, (who had been transferred a week before McGee joined the team.

"Alright men we've had a long few days go home early."

"Thanks Tobias!" Kevin and I shout as we get out of there as fast as we could. After a month of training on Fornell's team Kevin and I got on a first name basis after we saved Fornell's life twice. I had moved out of my old apartment and in to a new one closer to FBI headquarters 30 days after I joined Fornell's team and my number got changed too. I haven't thought of my old team in 5 months and I didn't want to. But tonight I have to admit I really do miss Abby. She was the only one I truly miss. After taking my shower I laid in bed in my boxer shorts and MIT shirt. Damn my old team was really on my mind.

Getting out of bed I put a pair of jeans on and decided it was time to visit Kate again. Whenever I had a child rapist murder case that got me upset or was just upset for some other reason I would go see Kate.


Walking across the graveyard I inhaled when I felt her soft hands take mine from behind and pull me onto the path we usually walk on.

"So what happened?" She asked me and I turn up to look at her for the first time

"I can't get them off my mind." I whispered. Turning my head and shielding my eyes from hers. I didn't have to explain she knew who I was talking about.

"Abby?" She asked knowingly.

"Yeah, you know as much as I do how good a friend she is Kate."

"Tim look at me." She said firmly. We stopped walking and I look down at her beautiful face and concerned eyes.

"Do you regret leaving?" She asked quietly. "At first I didn't, but now I'm not so sure if I made the right choice."

"Timothy McGee you listen to me when I say we all make mistakes." Kate rubs her thumb over my cheek. "Understand?" She whispers as her hand drops.

"Yes." I told her. And I did understand. I was still unsure it I made a mistake at all, but I was 89% sure I did.

"Tim can do me a favor?" She suddenly asked. "Anything." I promised. I would do anything for Kate. "Think it over, you can either go back to team Gibbs or stay with the FBI. It'd your call. I know you'll do the right thing." She encouraged. "Thanks Kate."

"Sure Tim always happy to help. So how is that book of yours doing?" She asked changing the subject. I smiled. "Wonderful, the readers love the character Kate and her partner…


A few hours later I lay in my bed still confused about what do but happy about seeing Kate again, she always knew how to make me feel better. As I went to sleep that night I thought of my choices.

The next day I woke up and went to work as usual. "Get the gear!" Fornell yells as Kevin walks into the squad room. "Where we going boss?" I asked. "Downtown there's a shoot out going on and were coming in."

"Yes!" Kevin blurts. "Wooo Hoo! Time to go shoot some bad guys!" I smile as we grab the bullet proof vests for us and Fornell.

"Yeah Kevin time to go shoot some bad guys!" I agreed as we snapped our vests on.


"So Kevin still exited?" I yelled as I shoot a trigger happy idiot that's firing at us with a AK-46 rifle. There was at least 20 trigger happy idiots running all over the place with crazy guns firing at us and my team had managed to kill at least half. "No!" He yelled back. I smiled. Suddenly a man came out and Tobias had his back to him. "Tobias look out!" I yell as I knock him out of the way as the bullet fired just barley misses us. I yank out my SIG and fire killing the man.

"Thanks Tim." He says as I help him up. "Anytime Tobias."

"You guys okay?" Kevin asks us. "Were fine." Fornell tells him. "Good because we got some angry people that want to talk to Tim." He points in a direction and I freeze and gasp at what I saw.

Gibbs, DiNozzo and David all dressed in vests and by the look of them it looks like they were helping kill the trigger happy idiots. "Shit." I cuss. "You couldn't avoid them forever Tim." Fornell said as he pats me on the back. "Kevin and I will be waiting over here calling HQ and telling them what happened." I nod and turn to my old team. I had no clue what I was going to say.


Big thanks to those who reviewed! Pretty please keep them coming! Okay any advice for how McGee is going to deal with his old team?
