Chapter 4
After the shooting incident. They were safely on the road again. While they were on their way to HQ. Tim manage to talk with Hailey to know a little about her.
"So are you alright?" Tim asked Hailey who was still shaking while putting his charming smile
"I am alright I guess. But I am still scared."
"Well you're safe with me now."
"Tim. I want to say I'm sorry"
"For what?" Tim asked as he stopped at a red light
"You know. For calling you a pervert. I didn't know what was I thinking."
"It's alright. I kinda accepted it as a compliment. All my life I have been called the nerd or geek so it's good to be called something different for a change"
"I am sorry to hear that"
"So what were you doing snooping around at the crime scene just now?"
"I was wondering what happened. When I saw it was my dad. I kinda was shocked and I didn't know what to do but just look on"
"Why didn't you go to your mother?"
"She isn't my mother. She is my step-mother. My dad married her after my mom died. He's not my biological father either, Mom and Dad adopted me when I was just a few weeks old. I never knew who my biological parents were, but I'd like to meet them someday"
"That's new. I thought that she was your mother"
After that, they arrived at the Navy Yard. Tim got out and opened the door for Hailey.
"Thanks. No one ever did that for me"
"My pleasure. We better get moving. My boss will kill me if we don't meet him soon"
Hailey nodded and went in. He hold the elevator while waiting for Hailey. She entered and they reached the floor in seconds. They went out and saw that only Gibbs was in the Bull Pen. Tim put his things on his desk while Gibbs went to meet with Hailey
"Good evening. My name is Special Agent Gibbs. Glad to meet you Hailey"
"You must be Tim's boss. Nice to meet you" She said politely
"So did anything happened just now?" He asked as if he knew something happened
"There was some shooting outside the library just now" Tim told Gibbs and Hailey just looked at them while nodding in agreement
"I would be dead if Tim wasn't there"
"Good for you. Now, should I call your mother"
"She is not my mother. She only married my dad for his money"
"What do you mean money Hailey?" Gibbs asked her and Tim just stared at her
"My dad have 10 million dollars in his account. He made some good investments and has been saving money for my education"
"We didn't knew that. So where do you want to stay for a while Hailey. If you don't wanna stay with your mother. You can stay with one of us" Gibbs asked Hailey
"In that case. Could I stay with Tim for a while Agent Gibbs?"
"With Tim. Sure if he's alright with it. Is it okay McGee?"
"Sure boss. My sister will not be coming back until next week so I have some space for her."
"If that settled. I suggest that you take her home for the night. You need to get some rest after what happened today"
"Sure boss"
"Thank you Agent Gibbs"
Tim flagged down another female agent and asked, "Will you take Hailey to my car and wait with her until I get there?"
"No problem" The female agent said
"Agent Robbins will take you to the car Hailey. I want to talk to Agent Gibbs for a moment." She nodded and started to walk away. As she was walking away. Tim remembered the time when he was friends with Lisa at the age of 15. Hailey almost look like her and it almost brought some tears out from his eye. Then he started to have some flashback
FLASHBACK:
"Wait for me Lisa" 15 year old Timothy McGee screamed while chasing Lisa. It's been 3 months since he left his father's house. He went to his aunt's house to stay with her. That very same day, he met Lisa.
"Catch me if you can. Timmy!" Lisa yelled and laughed
"I almost caught you" He hold out his hands as he reached Lisa's shoulder. By accident Lisa tripped and fell into a pool of mud.
"Look what have you done Timmy"
"It's your fault" Tim said as he threw a handful of mud at Lisa's face
"No. It's your fault" She laughed and threw a handful of mud back at Tim's face
Minutes after that, they engaged in a mud fight and they were covered in mud from head to the foot.
"You know what Tim. When I grow older. I want to marry you" Lisa blushed
"M-marry M-me. Why do you want to do that?" Tim blushed even more
"Because I love you Tim. I never felt like this in my entire life"
FLASHBACK ENDS
"McGee! McGee!" Gibbs voice snapped him from his memory
"Yes boss?" He looks confused
"Is there something that you want to tell me?"
"What will happen to Hailey if this case is closed?"
"I don't know McGee. She has to go back to her mother. Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing. Good night boss"
After 10 minutes of driving. They arrived at Tim's apartment. He unloaded all his bags and things from his car and brought them in into the apartment. He opened his door and he let Hailey go in first.
"Well welcome to my home. Make yourself comfortable"
"This is where you live?"
"Yeah. Is something wrong?"
"Yeah. It really need some help. You need more colors for your apartment."
"Well. My salary isn't that much so I can't afford it even if I wanted too"
"Maybe I could help with that someday"
" Well maybe. I'll take the sofa and you take my bed"
"Why don't you take the bed and I take the sofa"
"No. I insist. You're the guest"
"I don't care if I am the guest. You have done so much for me today. I can't ask for more"
"Well I insist. You're taking the bed and that's final" Tim went to his room to change
Hailey looked around and saw a typewriter on Tim's table. She was about to touch it when Tim came out with his green MIT shirt and sweats
"Don't touch that. It's valuable"
"Are you a writer Tim?"
"I don't consider myself a writer but yeah. You could call me that"
"Well I never seen one of your books. What have you have already published?"
"Did you ever heard of Deep Six Trilogy?"
"Yeah! They're my favorite books and I've collected all of them. Wait don't tell me you're Thom. ?"
"Yup. Guilty as charged"
Tim noticed that Hailey was sulking
"What's the matter Hailey. I thought that you would be crazy like my other fans"
"Well. I'm kinda angry to be honest"
"Why are you angry again?" Tim was confused
"Why the hell is Amy and McGregor not together yet. They are perfect for each other. But you already paired Agent Tommy and Lisa. Why is that"
"Maybe Amy and McGregor aren't ready yet" He didn't want to tell that the character are based on the team. Actually he and Abby aren't ready to take their relationship to the next level.
"Well, you better make them fall in love because I can't wait for it"
Then she noticed a picture at the side of the typewriter. It was Tim's late wife. She picked it up and said
"Whose this? She is beautiful"
"That's my wife. Her name is Lisa"
"Where is she now?"
"She died 15 years ago in a car crash" Tim said picking up the picture and looking at it lovingly. He looked back at Hailey wondering how she could have his dead wife's eyes. Things weren't adding up for Tim and he wanted to get to the bottom of it
"I am sorry to hear that. What was the date"
"It was 28 July 1999" Hailey held her hand under her cheek for a while like she was thinking about something
"What is it Hailey?"
"It's weird. That date is the same as my birthday" Tim looked shocked
"That's a weird coincidence. Well we better get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow. Do you want anything before you sleep?"
"Just some hot Cocoa would be fine" Tim nodded and went to his kitchen. He made some hot cocoa for both of them and gave a cup to Hailey. She said thanks and sipped it slowly. She put the cup on the kitchen and went to bed. She said goodnight to Tim and went into his bedroom. Tim put the cup in a plastic bag because he wanted to give the cup to Abby for a DNA sample. Tim had a funny feeling that things were going to get very complicated. He laid on the sofa and slowly fell into a peaceful sleep.
