Hey everyone. I am so sorry about last chapter screw up I think I deleted and uploaded 5 times. But it seems to be working fine now yay. I just got off work. My feet are killing me from standing and walking for 6 hours straight.
So anyway, now we got our two agents I will probably write some chapters now just on them. Just to get a feel for who they are. So I pretty much own nothing but my 2 characters lol.
Hope everyone still enjoys this. I hope you all know I do plan ending this with the team together. Not sure when but it will have a sweet ending and Tim will apologize for his book. I already have ideas but I'm too tired to update now so I'll try on the weekend if I can.
Gibbs had sent Tim everything he could about his new team. It didn't prepare him though for how the two acted.
Tim strolled into the bullpen with a small smile. His bruises were healing though still noticeable on his face. Everyone looked to him and gasped slightly as they took in his face and broken wrist.
Tim did his best to ignore it all. It wasn't his fault he had been outnumbered and beaten severely. It was a stupid book he wrote, it didn't make it right that he been betrayed.
"Welcome back agent McGee" Gibbs called and Tim smiled. "Hey boss…you know I am sorry…"
Gibbs held up a hand to stop him. "Don't apologize Tim…"
"I know…sign of weakness" Tim ended. Both John and Hayley took mental note of that.
"Yeah but I was going to say its not your fault" Gibbs said. Tim nodded but Gibbs could see the guilt was still there. It was clearly etched into the bruises.
'Thank god I didn't really fire them, I knew Tim couldn't hold a grudge, I can't wait for this whole thing to be over with' he thought smugly.
Tim took a deep breath. "You're right boss, it's not my fault Tony and Ziva chose to betray me as revenge. I'll try and stop feeling guilty and move on" he said.
Gibbs nodded. 'Damn, I hope you don't end up liking these two Tim, I really do' he thought.
Hayley and John took that as their cue to speak. They both stood from Tony and Ziva's old desks.
Tim pouted slightly as he noticed John. Gibbs chuckled. "Don't worry McGee, you're my senior now, I just thought you'd be more comfortable at your desk" he said.
Tim smiled. "Oh…thanks boss, yeah I do like that desk" he said.
"Good, okay before we get a call out, Tim this is Hayley Re'nay and John Smith your new partners" he said.
Both shook Tim's hand and he gave them a warm smile. "Welcome to the team, I hope we can work well together" he said.
John smiled. "Don't worry Tim….I mean McGee…um special agent McGee…" he stammered.
Gibbs watched in awe. 'Guess the smug act was only for Tony' he thought amused as John acted like Tim used to.
"Relax John, call me whatever makes you comfortable, everyone pretty much calls me McGee" Tim said.
John nodded. "Right, well I'll call you Tim then, I don't want you to ever think I'm like that DiNozzo guy. I won't let you down like he did!" John said emphasizing his last sentence.
Tim nodded and found he believed him. He hoped he was telling the truth as he had believed Tony and Ziva would guard him too.
Tim turned to the young woman and noted a different aura about her. John gave off a vibe of a young man willing to do anything to prove himself strong. He probably lifted weights and played football in high school to impress women. Tim didn't know how he got on Gibbs team but he had a feeling John would keep the spot. Least till he screwed up.
Hayley however was staring at him like the way he stared at Abby the very first time.
'Oh no, please tell me she isn't…' he thought but he knew the signs of a crush.
'Damn….well least she is cute and Abby and I seem stuck in the friend zone' he said. It bummed him out but maybe Hayley would be fun.
Before he could speak Gibbs phone rang. "Grab your gear we got a dead body" he said and led the way.
"All right, now we'll have some fun" John said. It was their first case since they arrived. Apparently death waited till Tim arrived. He strolled off with a confident smile.
Hayley and Tim took up the rear. "Wow, he's going to be annoying isn't he?" she whispered.
"Long as he's not quoting movies or using superglue on me, John can be as smug as he wants" Tim answered as they got into the elevator with the waiting men.
Hayley gave him a strange look. Tim smirked. "Trust me Hayley, John right now is nothing compared to Tony" he said softly.
"You miss him don't you?" she asked.
He shrugged. "Maybe but he made the choice as did Ziva…I am just lucky I get to do field work still only thing broken is my wrist but I can still use my hand" he answered.
"Well, I'm sorry you lost your friends"
"Don't be….let's just focus on our work and forget those two okay?" he asked and she nodded.
"Okay Tim….I hope….I hope we can be good friends" she said. Tim smiled.
"Maybe we can be" he answered and sighed to himself as she smiled. She looked like she knew he'd fall for her. He wouldn't be surprised if he did.
