The Calling's Revenge
Chapter 16th
"Look Catherine, Gibbs has been through a great deal over the years. It was only now he was able to talk about his demons of the past and getting them off his shoulders. I have never seen anyone so haunted like he was for the most part."
"From what you have told me. Agent Gibbs is a strong willed person that knows what he wants in his life along with his job. No doubt he's been doing it a long time?"
"Yes, he has Catherine and he's lost a number of close friends because of the job. Now that he's married, he has a lot to be grateful for along with needing to protect Lt. Loreile Baskins Gibbs from those enemies. And believe me she can certainly take care of herself in all areas." Doctor Taft proudly said to his wife of 22 years.
"Any rate I will leave you to your work and the waiting Cyril. I am going home to write on the computer to unwind before going to bed. I know it's going to be a long night for you waiting for word?"
"Yeah, I know. I can always sleep on the couch in this office if need to my dear wife." He gets up to give the woman a quick kiss to the lips before she leaves.

On board the transport plane with Special Agent Gibbs. The medical technician had checked him again with his blood pressure slightly rising to be somewhat of a good sign, as with his heart rate.
Tony and Ziva were glad to hear this in spite the worry of his overall health in general after the beatings he had taken from those bastards, along with the drugs.
He was beginning to shake slightly as Ziva decided to place another blanket over his body on the stretcher. He had asked for some water with his lips so chapped and dry. Ziva helped lifting his head slightly to have her mentor slowly sip the cold water from the water bottle. "Take it easy Gibbs, I don't want you to choke on the water."
As the technician watched his patient drink the water with ease. As it seems that the truth serum and other drugs were working out of his system to be a good sign.
"More water Ziva." He requested knowing the woman around him as with Tony sitting quiet on the transport seat watching the entire scene.
"Ok, my friend." She is able to help him with a few more sips of the water before putting away the bottle into the makeshift cooler. She moved back to her future husband talking softly. "He's looking much better with his color Tony. Let's just hope it's going to stay that way until we finally land in Washington, D.C." She said with anguish with her tone of voice.
"I hope he's going to be able to recover this time after the last few times with Luke shooting him and than the two months being tortured. I understand from sources that he had to talk with a therapist name Doctor Grace in order to discuss his troubles. Once he was able to recover both times. He met up with Lt. Loreile Baskins of the Navy's Witness Protection Program." Tony said.
"Yeah, I know Tony. I read the file given to me by the director of Israel. And I must say that I was most impressed with her skills and being an total equal to Gibbs in many ways. She is very capable to protecting herself."
"That might be true Ziva. However now that her mental state and physical well being might of been harm." Tony relayed the information.
"Maybe...but we won't know for sure until we meet her in the United States and no doubt waiting at the hospital." Ziva quipped with needing to use the head with having to be pregnant.

12 hours later...Dulles international airport Transport landing site for the military.
An ambulance was waiting for them on the other side of the airport. Doctor Taft received word at the hospital that the ambulance would be bringing in his patient Special Agent Jethro Gibbs. However Lt. Loreile Baskins Gibbs was waiting for them with Eleanor Bishop driving her into the waiting area.
"They are landing Loreile with Gibbs on board." They were able to see Mcgee, Torres and the rest of the U.N. troops come off the first transport. While Tony and Ziva and Gibbs on the other. The second transport landed to come to a full stop on runway one as it was taxing to the main gate area. The ambulance was waiting with the medical technician on the ambulance was given a update on Gibbs condition.
Loreile and Bishop moved in closer to see her husband on the stretcher before being placed in the ambulance. "OMG! I just can't believe this Bishop on what those bastards did to him." She commented with tears falling.
"He's going to be alright Loreile." Bishop touched her arm before they closed the ambulance doors to head for the entrance of the airport and the hospital.
Meanwhile Bishop, Loreile, Mcgee, Torres, Tony and Ziva followed the ambulance with the route taking them to the hospital. Traffic was somewhat heavy for the time of the evening. Everybody was exhausted however they will rest after they find out how their friend was going to be with the examination by Doctor Taft and others.
Inside the ambulance the medical technician continued to keep taps of Gibbs vitals while placing a breathing mask over his face to breath better. His blood pressure had been staying the same since it was last taken on board the transport having to be a good sign.
It was forty five minutes later when the ambulance arrived and Doctor Taft downstairs in the emergency entrance barking orders to have the operating room number one ready. Doctor Taft and Doctor Donalds would be repairing the damage done to his back with the whipping, legs and arms. Even though he wasn't sexually abused by those monsters.
Meanwhile everyone was told to head for the fourth floor waiting room for any news on his condition. It was going to be taking some time with all of the work that needs to be done.
