Chapter 7

1 week after the accident, Tim finally can go back to work but something shocked him that morning

Bing! The elevator door opened, Tim proceeded to the Bull Pen. He was greeted by Abby.

"Timmy! Good to see you back" Abby hugged him

"Ouch, I'm still recovering Abbs. It's good to be back" He hugged back

He looked around and saw no one was there except for Abby

"Abbs, where is everyone?"

"Oh, there are going to the Dock. Apparently, they are escorting your father and put him in protection custody."

"Wait, MY FATHER is coming here?"

"That's what I heard"

Bing, the elevator sounded. Tim looked to see who it is and what he feared had happened

"Speaking of the devil, there he is…"

The Admiral came to the Bull Pen with Lieutenant Owens at his back and Gibbs. Tim started become nervous and Abby tried to calm him. He greeted Tim and Abby.

"Hello Tim, who's this. Your Girlfriend?" He snarled

"No dad, she isn't"

"Good morning sir, I am Abby Scuito. Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too miss Scuito. If you can excuse me, I have to meet with Director Vance" He left them standing next to Tim's desk

"He's nice, Tim."

"Yeah, he is nice for the first time. Maybe something happened or he did change his attitude for the good" Tim smiled thinking that he could have a chance to build a relationship that he has craved for many years.

In the Director's office, the Admiral talked with Director Vance for a while

"So Leon how is my son's status here at NCIS?"

"What do you mean status?"

"I mean, his work and love life stuffs like that."

"Oh, Special Agent McGee is a really good agent here. He works really hard."

"That is a surprise for me. I didn't know that he is a hard worker."

"Oh, that means that you should spend more time with him. You will surprise on how good he is"

"But every time I look at him, I see him as an embarrassment to me you know. Since he left the Naval Academy, I never considered him as my son."

"Maybe you should think back if that was the right thing to do. I mean, he is your only son."

"I know that Leon but I just don't know what to do. If I didn't support both of my children. Both of them probably couldn't survive."

"I highly doubt it. Agent McGee can survive on his own."

"No, I am certain that his sister will survive longer than he is. That's how weak he is"

"John, I wouldn't want to be rude but he is your son. You should appreciate him more!"

"Don't even bother to defend him, Leon. He is that useless, he needs someone every time to say for him. I even heard that he was driving with the Lieutenant when he was involved in an accident."

"Agent McGee was hit by a Black Sedan, John. He couldn't prevent the accident from happening. It wasn't his fault"

"There was something that he could do, he could drive safer and the accident wouldn't happen. That how useless he is. He is an adult but he couldn't drive safely"

"Don't say things like that about him John!"

"Don't tell me what to do with him Leon; he is my so called son after all. He means nothing to me. This conversation is over"

The Admiral stormed out of the room leaving the director feels stunned.

Outside, Lieutenant Owens saw him and asked him

"Is everything all right Admiral?"

"No, it's all my so called son fault. I think of you as a son than him."

After that the Admiral proceeded to the Bull Pen with his loyal assistant following him.

"Hello agents, I'll be going now. I have a busy schedule to follow"

"But Admiral, you can't go. You have been put to protection custody and you can't leave unless an agent is with you." Gibbs stopped him

"But you don't understand, I have an important meeting in the Pentagon to attend."

"You value your job than your own life, Admiral?"

"I don't care actually; I have Lieutenant Owens at my side. I feel safe"

"You can't go to that meeting and that's final."

"You can't tell me what to do Gibbs, I am an Admiral"

"I don't care a damn about your rank." Gibbs was getting readied to punch him but Tim stopped him

"Stop Boss! You cannot hit him."

"Why not McGee? You still treat him as your father"

"Yes, he is my father no matter what."

"You hear that Admiral, he still cares about you" Gibbs stared at the Admiral

"And you dad, please listen to Agent Gibbs. You need the protection detail."

"Yeah, says who? My so called son who cannot drive safely?"

Tony was starting to get annoyed

"Sir, your so called son risked his life by doing his job. I'm sure that you and your boy scout there doesn't do that kind of jobs."

"Stop it Tony. Just stop. He is my father. I will deal with him myself."

"You dealing me Tim. Who are you now Tim? Captain America? The Admiral and his assistant laughed so hard that it made Gibbs angry.

"Stop it you too. McGee, come with me."

Gibbs brought Tim outside

"Tim, I have something to tell you."

"What boss?"

"I'm removing you from your father's protection detail"

"But why Gibbs? I can handle myself"

"It's not that Tim. Why couldn't you understand, I am protecting you"

"Okay Gibbs. What should I do now?"

"Go home; take a break until this case is over."

Both of them came in and went to the Bull Pen.

"Dinozzo, I'm sending McGee home"

"Why boss?"

"Don't ask questions"

They went back as told and they left Gibbs with The Admiral and Lieutenant Owens

"I'll be going now Gibbs."

"Yeah, just go. Didn't say I warned you."

"Before I go, May I ask. What did you say to Tim just now?"

"I sent him back home because he was still hurting from his injuries. Why do you care about him?"

"Nothing. I'll be going now"

Before they went in to their car, Lieutenant Owens had to make a phone call

"May you excuse me for a second Admiral, I have to make an important phone call. You may go in the car first."

"All right, but quick. We don't have a whole day"

The Admiral left him and quickly he dials a number

"Hello?" Lt. Owens asked

"Hello, Owens. What do you want? I told you not to call me using this phone"

"Yes but I don't have any choice and time. You know the plan right? The target is on his way home. You know what to do, kill him and the 10 million is all yours. Not to mention the record of people you killed. It will all be vanished. I want to see the body of Timothy McGee in the news tomorrow. Understand!"

"Yes, I will greet him in his home." The mystery voice hung up

Lieutenant Owens thought to himself

"Finally, Timothy McGee will die and no one will know it. He has given much trouble to the Admiral. I am the only son for the Admiral."
After that he went back to his car smiling.
