A/N: Chapter 5 is officially done. It may seem a bit OOC, and it's a bit similar to the last one (Abby) but it's all I got, so like it or lump it! It's the same style as Chapter 4: Abby – their POV and present tense. Once again, reviews appreciated, and thanks to everyone who's reviewed so far (especially ncis-1001 who's reviewed continually) and to everyone who's been reading this. You guys keep me writing!

Disclaimer: Purr-lease? If I owned NCIS, we'd get a LOT more Tiva, thank you very much. (Any script writers reading this, take that as a hint!)

Chapter 5: McGee

The men practically shove Abby back into the room, and I can tell something's not right immediately. She's pale as a sheet and her eyes are red and puffy. My eyes travel to her right arm which she's holding with her left, and I want to throw up as I see the blood that coats it and drips to the floor. I hurry over to her, enveloping her in my arms and holding her tight, protecting her from the horrible men. I can tell Gibbs has had the same idea, for his actions mirror mine. We lead her over to the bed which is now free and sit her down. She looks even worse, not taking in our words and just staring straight ahead. I can see she's lost a lot of blood, so I rip thin strips from the bedcovers and pull them tightly around the lacerations, in an attempt to stop the flow. It works too, and she soon regains a bit of colour, though she's still very pale and clearly in a lot of pain.

"What did they do to you Abs?" Gibbs asks softly, pulling her into a hug.

"They… they… they hurt me Gibbs." She begins sobbing and shifts so she's facing the room, where everybody is staring at her intently. Gibbs is stroking her hair as she leans into me, wiping away her tears as more come. I notice Tony and Ziva exchange a worried glance, wrapped in each other's arms. In can tell what they're thinking. We're all thinking it. What did they do to Abby, and what will the do to us? Abby opens her mouth to speak again, but suddenly stops, staring fixatedly at the door. As I turn me head, I see Harper return, a black clipboard in his hand. He points to a sheet of paper attached and shows the two men who both nod.

"Timothy McGee? You're next."

My heart drops and I can almost taste fear. I can see the state Abby's in, and I don't want that to happen to me. Four pairs of eyes all dart towards me, all containing concern and dread. Swallowing hard, I stand up, disentangling my arms from Abby's and walk over to where the monster stands, and my mouth seems to tell him I'll go, before my mind catches up with it. All four faces turn shocked at my sudden burst of courage, especially Tony, whose jaw literally hits the jaw as he falls off the tiny sofa, dragging Ziva down with him. She screams out in pain, clutching her already damaged ribs. Tony then surprises everyone too, by actually apologising, gently lifting her back on the chair and checking her over. Harper rolls his eyes at the commotion, gesturing for his men to grab me. They obey with such force I'm lifted off my feet of a moment.

"Silence!" he snaps, seemingly deciding enough is enough. "As this piece of scum is questioned, I expect less noise than last time, or there will be consequences." He exits the room, and the two men drag me behind. The last glimpse of the room I get shows Abby once more dissolving into sobs as Gibbs holds her, and Tony and Ziva lying on the sofa, seeking comfort from one another's arms, whilst still, in this time of distress, finding something to argue about.

They drag me down the corridor and shove me into a small room. I feel physically sick as I see the mass amount of blood on the table, chair and floor. The feeling worsens as I spot the three knives on the table, all coated in a tacky layer of blood, which I assume to be Abby's. The men shunt me into the chair and Harper sits in the one opposite, so we're facing each other. He smirks at me, his eyes evil and full of rage. When he talks however, his voice is calm.

"So Agent McGee, what do you know?" He takes a knife and runs a finger along the sharp blade. Fear courses through my veins, but it's soon replaced with determination. I will stick this out, and protect Ziva.

I gulp. "Nothing. I didn't see anything," I say, my voice surprisingly strong. Harper shakes his head.

"Liar." His voice is dangerously low, as he leans forwards, bringing the knife closer too. "You were there. For all I know, it could have even been you."

I gulp again, as he waves the knife terrifyingly close to my face. "I didn't even fire a shot in that warehouse. And I was at the other side when your brother was killed. I didn't see a thing."

For a moment, I think he believes me, as he leans back in his chair, folding his arms. He studies me for an agonizing few minutes, his eyes reading into every corner of my face, before he leans forward again, gently resting the knife against my cheek. I gulp for the third time, as he practically whispers into my ear.

"Ah, but Agent McGee, how do I know that your team haven't told you what happened. Upon seeing the close bondbetween you, I can only image the things you share." As if to prompt me into talking, he pushes the knife harder into my cheek. I gasp as he draws blood, and I can feel a single trail of warm liquid trail down my face and land with a dull thud on the desk below.

"Yeah, well they didn't," I utter through gritted teeth. My cheek is starting to burn now, and I'm not sure what he'll do next.

He gives the knife one last push as he murmurs the words "Are you sure?"

"Yes!" I all but shout, as he slowly withdraws the knife. The pain in my face is agony, but I suppress the urge to cry out in pain, knowing it will only worry the others, especially Abby.

"Really sure?" He's teasing me now, seeing if I'll crack from exasperation. My temper's running short, like the fuse on a bomb that's about to blow. And although you only get that on cartoons, or Tony's movies, the bombs explodes after seeing the trying look on his face.

I suddenly stand, with such force the chair is forced over. "I wasn't there!"I repeat, actually shouting this time. I've repeated this mantra so many times; I'm starting to believe it's true. "I didn't see anything and you're wasting both of our time!"

Something in him seems to snap too, as he also stands and balls his hands into fists. In one swift movement, he swings it back, and brings it back forward so it collides with my face, leaving a nice lump, to compliment the gash that runs from just next to my right eye, down to the corner of my mouth.

"Get him out of my sight," he spits, turning the other way. The two men grab me under my armpits and haul me back into the small room next door.

Upon walking in, the team's attention darts solely to the door where I stand. As they notice the state of my face, shock envelopes their faces, followed shortly by concern. Abby immediately runs over towards me squealing. She rushes off into a state of panic ramblings, grabbing my hand and dragging me over to the bed. Ignoring my protests that I'm fine, she rips more cloth from the bedcovers and gingerly dabs at my face with it, mopping up some of the blood.

"So who's next?" one of the men says, his voice gruff. I see Tony and Ziva exchange a worried glance as she lets out a small whimper and snuggles deeper into Tony, their bodies fitting together perfectly, like jigsaw pieces, and she's still clutching her ribs. It appears Gibbs notices this too, as he stands, his voice perfectly calm as he speaks, as if he was offering to go on a coffee run, not volunteering to go and be tortured.

"I am."

A/N: Right, so that's it, sorry for not updating it sooner, but I was really busy. Lame excuse, I know. I've stayed up extra late tonight though, just to finish this. It's now 04:41am, and I'm listening to Far East Movement on Capital FM. Has anybody noticed how the radio's so much better in the early hours of the morning? Anywhoo, I'm going to sleep now, so I'll leave it there for now. The next chapter will be Gibbs' interrogation and then so on. It might get a bit boring after a while, and writers' block is due to hit soon (I always get it around now) but I'll try to update ASAP. Also, I've got a twist in store at some point. So thanks for reading, and please review!
