Hi all! I hope you all enjoy this is my second spankfic none in this chapter though happy reading!

Timothy "Tim" McGee pulled up to NCIS and quickly made his way to his desk in the bullpen hoping he had made it before Gibbs did being twenty minutes late. He turned the corner and saw no Gibbs at his desk and sighed with relief until Tony spoke up from his desk "Gibbs is going to kill you probie" without looking up from his computer.

He sighed again expect in annoyance now "ow" yelped Tim when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head he turned wearily and looked at a annoyed Gibbs. "Sorry" he muttered on reflex even though Gibbs hated apologies. Gibbs passed him and sat at his desk while asking "why are you late McGee"and moving files on his desk he hated doing desk work. Tim had thankfully thought a head and in hoping he didn't sound like he was lying said "car trouble" Gibbs looked up with a suspicious look. "Fine next time call though" he ended up saying not seeing any reason not to believe him as Tim sat at his desk and refrained from sighing again as he quickly made it look like he was working and tried to get over his feelings of guilt.

He diligently started to work trying to be as productive as possible soon falling into a rhythm. He was so focused on his work that the ringing of Gibbs phone made him jump slightly as he looked up. Gibbs answered the phone curtly while Tim and Tony looked on in curiosity wondering if it was a case.

Gibbs stood and started to walk out of the bullpen throwing over his shoulder "gear up" Tim instantly obeyed grabbing his badge and sidearm and following after the older man. Tony and Tim hit the elevator at the same time and he quickly got into the back seat of the NCIS van.

They all made it to the scene in under ten minutes "Tony pictures, Tim bag and tag" Gibbs said shortly as he went to look at the body. Tim nodded and slide on a pair of gloves as he looked at the scene trying to find evidence. He avoided looking at the body as long as possible he could handle it well enough but he wasn't sure it ever got easier. A few minutes later Ducky arrived on the scene "sorry I'm on my own today lads young Mr. Palmer is in classes right now he will thankfully come back later though" he announced in his usual happy tone as he went to James Elliot's body to do an on scene examination while telling a story.

Tim crawled on the ground trying to find physical evidence he could bag he found a few items Abby could test and figure out if need be it seemed they hadn't left any weapon evidence other than the body of course. Tim looked over the scene twice and when allowed by Ducky looked for more articles to bag if he needed to around or on the body that Ducky wouldn't be dealing with while examining James. Tim looked up when he saw a flash in his eyes and growled slightly "focused are we probie" Tony asked with a chuckle as he ignored the glare Tim was throwing him "no just doing my job properly" he shot back annoyed while he was ignored by the slightly older man.

Tim had made two rounds and was certain he had gotten everything he thought possible in the wooded area. "You two done?" Gibbs asked as he crossed the yellow tape "yes boss" they both echoed as they packed up their individual tasks.

Soon they were back at the bullpen doing research Tim's leg bouncing in agitation he jumped up quickly and announced "coffee run" looking to the two other men. Gibbs looked surprised for a second then raised an eyebrow "ok" he said his mind running two different directions with the erupt trip he wasn't acting like his normal self but knew he'd find out sooner or later. His suspicion was confirmed by the look on his eldests face who normally did the coffee runs since Tim normally liked to stay and Tony could get some fresh air.

Tim left and hopped into the elevator on his way down to the ground floor once he made it out he quickly made his way out the doors into the yard. He quickly dug into his large suit pocket and pulled out his pack of cigarettes and a lighter he put in his mouth and lit it once he was far enough away from the building. He took a long drag and released the smoke feeling slightly calmer while feeling guilty as well since he knew Gibbs would kill him if he found out.

He soon was focused on just relaxing he failed to pay attention to who was passing him and his eyes widened quickly when he caught who was looking at him with absolute surprise.

"Palmer"
