CHAPTER 10
AUTHORS Note:
-The episode mentioned in this chapter is the episode where Tim and Abby went to Mexico. I don't quite remember what happened and I just made somethings up.
In the Hospital
Tim was in critical condition when he got there. He was losing a lot of blood and he passed out along the way. The ambulance arrived in 5 minutes. At this moment, Gibbs arrived and saw him in a stretcher on the way to the Emergency Room. He ran and managed to catch up to Tim
"You will survive this Tim! You have too! Do you hear me, don't die!" Gibbs yelled in a worried voice as he followed the stretcher
But Tim didn't gave any response as he was unconscious. Tim entered the Emergency Room and Gibbs was stopped at the door. He was not allowed to go in. Gibbs just stared at his young agent praying that he will survive this. An hour after that, Ducky and Jimmy came in rushing with worried faces.
"I hope we're not too late Mister Palmer. Where is Timothy ,Jethro?" Asked Ducky in a worried tone
"Yeah, Agent Gibbs. Where is Tim?"
"He just went in the OR an hour ago. It is taking a long time."
"You know it always take a long time to operate on a person whether the person is critically injured or not. Even the best surgeon take at least 3 hours to operate. We can only be patient and pray that he will survive this"
"Tim shouldn't be the one who needs to suffer. He is the nicest friend that I ever met. He treats me kindly and doesn't call me Autopsy Gremlin like the others. Why? Why does it have to be him.." Ducky rubbed Jimmy's back trying to comfort him
"Does Timothy's dad know about this?"
"He knows it but HE DIDN"T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT IT! HE JUST SAID THAT HE HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO. HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO VISIT TIM. I NEVER KNOWN SUCH SICK HUMAN LIKE THAT BEFORE! IT'S HIS SON BUT HE DOESN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT HIM. HE DOESN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT TIM'S CONDITION HERE."
"Calm Down Jethro! This is the hospital. Besides, the he is the admiral after all. He can't just skipped his duty"
"WHO CARES IF HE IS THE ADMIRAL. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TIM HERE! HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAT FAMILY COMES FIRST BUT HE VALUES HIS JOB MORE THAN HIS FAMILY. Good thing that Tim isn't like his father at all. He is the exact opposite of his father."
2 Hours have passed and finally a doctor came out of the OR. He went out and only see Gibbs and the others outside so he went to see them.
"Families of Timothy McGee?"
Gibbs and the others got up and went to meet him
"I am Special Agent Gibbs, I am his boss. What's his condition Doctor?"
"Umm. How should I say this.."
"Quit delaying Doctor and just tell us" Gibbs was getting impatient.
"The patient condition is critical. He lost a lot of blood, but we manage to neutralize the poison in his body. Three of his ribs are broken. He has a severe concussion along with cuts and bruises on his face and body"
"Is he going to survive Doctor?"Ducky asked in a worried tone
"He will survive but if something like this happened again. I am afraid he won't survive it."
"When can we see him Doctor?"
"Let's give him 24 hours to rest than you can visit him. He will be taken care by some nurses and Doctor Stephens.." The Doctor walked away
At this time, Gibbs received a call from Tony
"Dinozzo! What do you got?"
"I ran the suspect prints and guess what I found boss. He is a friend of Ronald Dylan, the dead attacker. His name is Sam Cooper. He's in Interrogation Room One"
"Good Job Dinozzo." Gibbs hung up
"What was it Jethro?" Ducky asked
"It's Tony, we have a suspect in custody and we suspect that it has some connection to Tim's attacker."
"So, what are doing here? Shouldn't you be interrogating him?"
"I can't leave Tim here Duck. He needs all the support he can get."
"Just go Jethro. We'll stay here."
"Yeah Agent Gibbs. Leave Tim in our care
Gibbs reluctantly nodded and he walked out from the hospital
In NCIS
"Wait Abby!" Ziva yelled while chasing Abby
Abby ran to her lab towards the farthest end and she locked her door. She ran and grabbed Bert the Hippo. She sat in the corner crying like a baby girl. She couldn't stop crying. She just couldn't imagine her best friend. Her sweet Timmy is dying in the Hospital. She and Tim were very close.
"DAMN YOU! MCGEE! WHY DO YOU LEAVE ME LIKE THIS! WHY?!" Abby cried even louder
"Abby, Please open this door! I'll break this door if you don't" Ziva was getting angry
Abby stood up and unlocked her door
"What do you want Ziva? Can't you see that I am having an emotional breakdown here?"
"I know how you feel Abby. Tim didn't deserve any of this. But there is nothing that we can do now."
"That's the Point! Ziva! Tim is dying and I can't do a thing to help him. I'm useless and have been a jerk to Tim. I want to treat him better after this but looking at the circumstances I'll not be given the chance"
"TIM IS NOT DEAD ABBY! You just cannot say and you are not a jerk especially to him. You and him are perfect."
"NO ZIVA! YOU DON"T UNDERSTAND! I have been a jerk. I know that Tim likes me a lot but I don't because I only want a professional relationship with him. I only pretended to like him because I don't want to hurt his feelings. The truth is I am afraid of commitment. I am afraid that if we are together. I'll end up hurting him even more"
"Abby.. That just…" Before Ziva could finish her words, Abby continued again
"Remember my trip to Mexico with Tim?"
"Yes, I do remember."
"During that trip, I decided to bring my students on a field trip to an old crime scene. Tim specifically warned me not to go there because it is extremely dangerous but what did I do? I didn't listened to him and told him to mind your own business. But he stuck to me anyway. When we got there, the Mexican drug dealer surrounded us. It was dangerous so Tim bravely surrendered himself as a federal agent and luckily we were allowed to go. When we got back, Gibbs was thankful that I was alive but he was not that nice to Tim. He yelled at Tim for failing to protect me. He only stood there absorbing everything Gibbs said. When Gibbs left us, Tim wasn't mad at me. He just told me that he was thankful that that I was safe. I am a jerk, right Ziva?"
"Abby… I don't know what to say.."
"There's more. Do you remember the time when Jethro first came?"
"Jethro, You mean the dog that had been drugged?"
"Yes. That one. When he first came, he was bleeding and I asked Tim what happened to him. He just silence himself and when I went to check on it. It was a bullet wound and everything came together. So I yelled at Tim "McGee! What did you do?"
"He was trying to bite off my neck, it was self defence" He said to me
"SELF DEFENCE? You shot a dog McGee. " I called him a murderer and everyone heard it. He told me that he nearly died but I just said I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT MCGEE" Abby continued to rant
Ziva kept silent trying to absorb everything that she just heard.
"After that. I've been thinking about my feelings about him but now he is dying, He doesn't have a chance to know how my feelings toward him." Abby threw Bert across her lab and had a tantrum like a baby.
"Abby! Please stop" Ziva begged trying to calm her
Abby just kept throwing and dropping everything in her lab.
"Abby, Listen to me! ABBY!LISTEN TO ME!" She grabbed Abby's arm
"ABBY! TELL ME! Do you love Tim?" Abby finally calmed down but she didn't answered her
"ABBY! DO YOU LOVE TIM!?"
"I DO ZIVA! I DO"
"Then, you must not give up. You must help him find his attacker and his accomplice if he has any. Start by checking the phone calls"
"Okay Ziva. Thanks for helping me."
"You're welcome Abby."she said softly
Meanwhile in the Interrogation Room
Gibbs came in a furious mood. He looked to the suspect angrily and sharply in the eye. He slammed the file on the table in front of the suspect
'TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW!"
'I don't know anything and if I do know something. I wouldn't tell you"
"TELL ME WHO HIRED YOU? TELL ME!"
"I am not talking." He said looking to the side
"YOU THINK YOU ARE SMART SAM COOPER. GUESS WHAT! YOU WILL BE CHARGE WITH ASSAULTING A FEDERAL AGENT."
"So what. I don't care"
"IF I WERE YOU, I'LL BE GIVING THE INFO THAT I NEED. OR YOU WOULD RATHER END UP LIKE YOUR FRIEND." He showed a picture of Ronald Dylan's dead body
"Wh-what. Ronald is dead? Ben will be really pissed if he finds out about this."
"WHO"S BEN?! TELL ME!" Gibbs insisted
"Ben is the closest with Ronald. He works at the Bethesda Hospital."
"WHAT IS HIS FULL NAME! TELL ME!"
"Ben Stephens. He is a doctor at the Hospital"
"STEPHENS? Isn't the doctor that supposed to be taking care of Tim is Doctor Stephens?" He rushed out calling Ducky but he didn't get an answer and then he tried Jimmy but it was the same. He drove there breaking all speed limits
