CHAPTER 16: FINDING HELP FOR, SARAH...
ABBY'S P.O.V.
Tim had left a little while ago and then later called to say he had to go out in the field.
That was about two hours ago, so I was expecting him to come anytime and...
I heard my door to my lab open and someone as Tim hugged from behind.
"Hey, probie, you can...Ow, Zee-Vah." Tony said and we turned to face them.
"Would you two keep it down?" Tim asked them.
"Why so you and your girl..." Tony began, but then the sound of someone crying came from my office.
Tim walked in the office with I followed him, Tony and Ziva behind me.
Tim sat down by Sarah, when I looked at Tony and Ziva they looked confused.
"I see it every time I close my eyes, Tim. I saw it again and remember the last words we ever said." Sarah told Tim. "It's going to be all right, Sarah." Tim told her. "
Tony and I are going to head up to the squad room and get started; we'll tell Gibbs where you are." Ziva said and I watched as she grabbed Tony's hand.
I began to wonder if there is anything going on between Tony and Ziva. I looked back at Tim and Sarah one more time, before going to sort the evidence.
It didn't take long and my lab doors opened again.
I wasn't surprised to see Gibbs with Caf-Pow for me, because I had something for him. What did surprise me was that Ducky was with him.
Gibbs looked around and didn't look happy, when he couldn't find Tim.
"Tim is in my office. He brought Sarah to NCIS with him when he came back and she was sleeping in my office. She woke up from a nightmare as Tim, Ziva and Tony brought in the evidence. What are you doing here, Duckman?" I asked.
"Well, Timothy to me just before we left and asked if I could help him find someone to help young Sarah." Ducky said.
I led Gibbs and Ducky into my office as just as Tim got up from beside his sister. She was asleep and had Bert in her arms.
"I hope...hey, boss." Tim said just noticing Gibbs and Ducky.
"I know your sister is here and you two are going through a tough time losing your parents, but I still expect you to get some work done." Gibbs told Tim.
"I know. Hey, did you get it, Ducky?" Tim asked and Ducky handed him a slip of paper.
"If everyone would leave I could get more work done. Go on up to the squad room, Tim. She's not a little girl that needs to be baby-sat and she's asleep. I'll call you if you're needed." I said and the three men left my office.
Just before they left, I told Gibbs I didn't have much for, but did tell him what I had.
'Now I can finally get some work done.'
TIM'S P.O.V.
THE SQUAD ROOM...
I walked into the squad room behind Gibbs, Tony and Ziva looked up. Tony looked like he wanted to ask me something, but didn't once Gibbs sat down at his desk and we all began to get to work on the case.
I have to admit though; I was having a hard time.
I love NCIS and everything I do here, but I miss the old happy Sarah. The sister I had once known...she now seemed lost and broken. I wanted to help her, but there was no way I could.
I would give her this number of the doctor later. Ducky had said he would look around and he had found someone.
"McGee!" I looked up startled to see Gibbs standing right in front of my desk.
From the looks of it he had been trying to get my attention for at least a minute. He had his hand raised as though he was about to give me a head slap.
"Sorry, boss. Did you say something?" I asked.
"Did you find anything on our petty officer yet?" Gibbs asked, it didn't seem to be the first time he had asked.
I then realized I had not done anything since sitting down in my chair. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Tony looking over my way grinning about something and then he pretended to get back to work.
"Not yet, boss. I'll get to work on it." I said.
"You better, if you want to keep your job." Gibbs told me.
He walked out of site, probably to go get his coffee refill. I then had a thought; tonight I would take Sarah to see our grandmother Penny.
It was that moment I felt something hit my head. It was Tony trying to get my attention.
"Hey, Probie, why was your sister in Abby's lab?" Tony asked and in my opinion, he didn't sound like himself.
"She hasn't been sleeping, then today she wanted to go visit our parents. After that I brought her back here and she went to lie down in Abby's office." I told him.
"Is your sister okay?" Ziva asked and seemed worried.
"She is still blaming herself and is having a harder time dealing with our parents' death." I told her.
"So what do you...?" Tony began.
"The three of you better get back to work if you want to keep your jobs!" Gibbs said as he walked back over to his desk.
I wondered if Sarah was sleeping and knew she probably was or she would have come to find me.
ABBY'S P.O.V.
ABBY'S LAB...
I looked up when I felt someone take the seat beside me and after first; I thought it was Tim.
Until I heard Bert, looked over and saw Sarah.
"Hey, where's Tim?" Sarah asked. "He's doing some work up in the squad room. Are you okay?" I asked.
"I guess so...I haven't been able to sleep since I woke up from the coma and remembered everything. I don't know how long it's been since I slept all the way through the night without waking up. Sometimes I close my eyes and I think when I open them, I'll find out it was just a nightmare. I know, Tim wants me to..." Sarah began.
"Tim is just worried about you and wants to see you happy again." I told her.
"I know, but I can't remember how to be happy. How is Tim making it through this? I-I just can't seem to do it, it's like this hasn't changed him a..." Sarah began.
"It has changed him. The day of the accident, he picked up the phone and then grabbed his stuff to leave. He didn't say a word to anyone; I followed him into the elevator. He was going to drive himself to the hospital, but if he would have...He would have been in an accident too. I had to take him to the hospital, he found out your parents were dead and you were barely hanging on. All he could do when you were in the coma was sit beside you; there were times I had to force him to leave your side. So, he could change and whatever else he needed to do. He went to the director and said he would come back to work when you came out of your coma and he was sure you were going to be okay." I told her.
"He almost lost his job because of me again? I seem to be wreck..." Sarah began.
"You didn't wreck anyone's lives, Sarah. You could have given up and died, but you fought and you came back." Tim said from the doorway.
"You weren't in the car that day, T-Tim. I argued with them over something stupid. I told them I wasn't as perfect as you seemed to be and maybe it would have been better if I had never been born. That's when dad turn...that's when it happened." Sarah said.
"Sarah, things will get better. I know how much it hurts right now, but things will get better. You still have me and we stick together, just like when we were growing up." Tim told her and Sarah gave a half smile.
"You always used to tease me." Sarah told him.
"I was your big brother and that was what I was supposed to do. No matter how much I teased you, you were still my sister and that's why I'm glad you survived. I don't know what I would have done if you would have died too. I had lost mom and dad, and then you were in a coma. The doctors told me there was a chance you might not make it, but I'm glad you did." Tim told Sarah and she smiled a little more.
She hugged Bert, and then Tim and I laughed as she looked around.
"That was Bert." I told her.
"Bert?" Sarah asked.
"Bert the hippo, he makes that sound when you hug him." Tim told her and she laughed.
"Did you come down here for a reason, Tim? It had better not have been to check on me, because I'm fine." Sarah told him.
"I did come down to check on you, but to also give you this." Tim said handing her the piece of paper Ducky had given him earlier.
"What is it? Tim, I don't need to go..." Sarah began.
"Yes, you do. You need to talk to someone." Tim told her.
"I'm not crazy." Sarah said and glared at him.
"I'm not saying you are, but you do need to talk to someone who can help you." Tim said as he glared right back at her.
I had fight back a smile and a laugh, so I turned and got back to work.
"Fine, I'll go." Sarah said after a minute.
"I'm just worried about you. Can't I just be worried about my sister?" Tim asked.
