Author's Note: this is another 100 word drabble dealing with McGee's fears.

Shadows

There was something in the shadows. Watching him. Scaring him. Making it hard for him to sleep at night.

Fear.

He had watched as the past came back to haunt them. All of them. Gibbs, Ziva, Tony, Jenny… Vance. Vance scared him most of all. Because they were the most alike.

They had an understanding that the others never understood.

If Vance had done things that haunted him, that hurt him and those he loved, then, someday, so would he. So would McGee.

He knew that he was already at risk.

Soon, it wouldn't just be the shadows watching him.
