CHAPTER 11: SARAH FINDS OUT THE TRUTH...
TIM'S P.O.V.
THE SQUAD ROOM...
I was sitting at my desk working, when I looked up Abby was standing and looking around I didn't see, Sarah. Gibbs was not at his desk and had more then likely gone to get more coffee.
"Where's Sarah?" I asked.
"She's down in my lab. We need to talk, Tim." Abby told me.
"Can it wa..." I started.
"No, come on." Abby said grabbing my hand and leading me toward the elevator.
ELEVATOR...
Once inside Abby hit the emergency switch.
"What is this about?" I asked.
"Sarah." Abby told me.
"What about, Sarah? Is she all right?" I asked.
"No, Tim, she's not. She's told me that she wishes everyone would stop treating her like a child that doesn't need to know anything. Tim, Sarah needs to know what happened that day and what happened to your parents." Abby said, taking his hand and I knew she was right.
"My dad told me to pro..." I began.
"Tim, she needs to know. You're not protecting her by lying to her." Abby told me.
"I'm not lying to her." I said defensively.
"Yes, you are. By not telling her...you're not protecting her, it's lying to her." Abby said.
"I-I don't think I can do it al..." I began.
"Then I will be there with you when you tell her." Abby reassured me.
"All right, let's go tell her." I finally agreed.
Abby hit the switch again and hit the button that would take us down to her lab.
"Oh, she asked me about your tattoo and if I had seen it." Abby said and I stopped.
"Yo-you didn't tell her." I said, stopping and Abby looked at me with a devilish grin.
"No, Tim, I didn't tell her about the tat on..." Abby began and I was relieved she had not said a word.
"Don't say it, Abb. We're close enough to your lab that she will here." I said and she just smiled up at me.
ABBY'S LAB...
When we reached the lab, she was sitting where I usually sat and didn't seem to hear us. She looked lost in thoughts and had a look on her face.
A look I knew that look...she was trying to remember.
"She's been sitting there since you left." Abby told me.
"Sarah." I said stepping up beside her and she jumped.
"Hey, Tim." Sarah said.
"Are you sure you want to hear about what happened?" I asked.
ABBY'S P.O.V.
For a minute, I watched the two of them, then got back to work.
"Of course I want to know. I feel so lost and I need to know." Sarah told Tim and Tim took a deep breath.
"All right...there was a car crash. You were hurt and barely hanging on, the doctors rushed you to surgery and saved you..." Tim told her, I then saw the tears and realization of what must have happened.
"Mom and dad? They're d-dead ar-aren't they? They died that day?" Sarah asked her voice shaking.
"Yes." Was all Tim said and hugged he hugged her as she broke down crying.
I could see that Tim was crying too.
I wanted to leave and give them a little time, so I left and a few minutes later found myself at Tim's desk in the squad room.
THE SQUAD ROOM...
"Hey, where is..." Tony started to ask, but was cut off.
"Abs, what are you doing here? Where's..." Gibbs started to ask.
"I'm giving Tim and Sarah a little time. He just told her, what happened the day of the car crash and that their parents are dead." I said.
Once I told them, the four of us sat there in silence. Tony, Ziva and Gibbs got back to work as I continued to sit at Tim's desk.
No one looked up until we heard the elevator, then Sarah leaning on Tim walked into the squad room.
"Tim?" I asked, but he didn't seem to hear me as he walked over to Gibbs desk.
"Boss, I need to take Sarah home." Tim said and with a look at the two of them, Gibbs just nodded.
"Do you want me to go with you, Tim?" I asked and then he turned around to look at me.
"Not right now, Abbs. I'll talk to you later though." Tim told me. "All right." I said as Tim grabbed his stuff.
Then him and Sarah left.
ABBY'S P.O.V.
ABBY'S LAB...
After I watched Tim and Sarah leave, I came back down to my lab to work. I would check on them later. Tim had made it clear though, that he needed some time with his sister.
I got back to work and looked at the clock a couple of times, the day seemed to be going by slowly.
