"Everything great in the world comes from neurotics." - Marcel Proust.
Timothy McGee always had a problem with authority figures.
They made him nervous. Everyone made him nervous. Fair enough over the last year or so, he'd grown up a lot, standing up for himself more – especially with Tony. Despite that, it would always be there. The sweaty palms when he did a speech to the publishers of his novels or shaky voice if Gibbs yelled at him.
So, sitting in the Director's office waiting for the woman in question to return from talking to Cynthia outside, McGee forced himself to breathe slower... And stop jigging his leg up and down.
"Sorry Agent McGee, you have my full attention now." She took the seat next to him instead of the one behind her desk. That had to be a good sign... Right? "Do you know why I called you in today?" Maybe not. Breathe, Tim. Breathe.
"No ma'am."
Chuckling softly, Jenny leant across the desk, handing him a wad of bound papers. "Jethro gave me this."
The uneasy feeling hit McGee like a ton of bricks. Gibbs hadn't. Had he?
'The moans of pleasure Lisa made in his ear drove him crazy. Pining her against the-'
Yes, he had.
"Director, I... This..."
"Relax Timothy, I rather enjoyed it."
"You... what?"
Jenny laughed, touching his shoulder. "I am very intrigued in the developing relationship between the two members of his team." McGee noticed she didn't specify which team – Tibbs or Gibbs. He didn't ask. Instead, he exhaled deeply, not even realising he'd been holding his breath. Again, Jenny laughed. "Anyone would think I called you in for a disciplinary."
"I thought you had." He confessed, blushing slightly. "If you hadn't checked the email Gibbs sent you before you-"
"What email?" She cut in, clearly confused.
"The one Gibbs sent you with that file."
"He gave this to me personally. I only got an email containing witness statements that I forwarded on."
"What?!" He choked out, literally feeling his heart stop.
For a few seconds of sheer panic, he gaped at his boss... until she smirked.
"Kidding."
