2nd Ghost:
McGee arrived at Ncis a few days later after having his new arm checked out and once it was ok he was out of hospital fast not looking back, McGee had hated hospitals for a long time and this was no different.
Ncis was quiet, the bullpen filled with silent agents talking when McGee walked in… Gibbs nodded his head to McGee and McGee smiled nodding his head back, Ellie smiled as she saw McGee walking to his desk when she stood up and walked over to him, McGee turned around and he felt her arms wrap tight around his shoulder pulling him into a hug, McGee smiled hugging her back tightly.
"I never said thanks for saving my life Timmy" Ellie whispered and McGee smiled "Anytime Ellie" he whispered back planting a soft kiss to her cheek.
"Ok Bishop back to work, McGee you should be home resting" Gibbs said sternly and McGee sighed "Boss I was losing my marbles in that apartment" McGee complained and Gibbs smirked "Get some sleep" he said "Tony with me, Bishop you get the address for the Naval officer overseeing the crew's boarding" Gibbs and Tony walked to the elevators.
"Still looking for that bomber?" McGee asked and Ellie nodded her head "yeah, he's disappeared" she replied and McGee laid down and drifted off into a peaceful sleep, Ellie got to her feet and walked silently over to his desk to see and smiled seeing him sleeping, grabbing her jacket she placed it over him and pressed a kiss to his lips "I hope you see me as more than a friend Timmy" she whispered and she went back to her desk not seeing the soft smile brewing on his face.
McGee drifted into darkness as he scanned his surroundings and there was nothing there to him, until he landed on a hard floor, the darkness and cleared and he found himself standing in a familiar apartment room.
"Where the h…" he froze as it came back to him "No… please not here"
"McGee" he heard her voice and he closed his eyes before turning to look at her "Erin" he gulped and she smiled "It's been a long time McGee" she replied and he looked down "I am sorry… I failed to save you" he whispered and she placed a hand on his chin to make him look at her "What happened was not your fault Tim… you tried but it was too late" she pulled him into a hug "you did not deserve to die" she nodded "We rarely get what we deserve, look at your arm" she said and he did, he looked at his right arm "You did not deserve to lose half of that and yet it's gone, but you lost it doing the right thing" McGee smiled "Saving Ellie" Erin nodded "Your arm and scars are your reminder Tim, That no matter how dark things get… you'll always do what's right" She walked backwards "Wait" he said but she continued to walk back "One more ghost Tim, be safe and let go of this guilt and regret that's not yours" she faded from sight.
McGee was now in the room alone now, tears running down his face as he felt himself falling slowly again until he entered a bright light and he woke up back in Ncis headquarters.
Ellie and Gibbs were gone with Tony to chase a lead down and McGee looked to the clock, he was going to be late with his meeting with Director Vance and the psychologists… he knew he needed to be tested for his psychological and firearms proficiency test in order to keep his field agent status.
Just one thing was running through his mind: who was going to be his 3rd ghost?
