Internal Deception

Chapter 20th

Special Agent Gibbs decided not to stay for the food and drink. He went home to his own house even though he's not officially released without the paperwork. Lt. Loreile Baskins drove Gibbs to his house.

Gibbs was going to call Vance later to express why he left in the first place and everyone. He didn't wish to be grilled by everyone and including Sloane. He had told the woman that he wasn't interested in an romantic involvement with her leaving behind a legacy.

Gibbs continued to stay calm as much as possible while Loreile continued to drive. His emotions were conflicting even though he knew deep inside how he was feeling about the woman driving and in such a short time.

She had to call him twice breaking him out of his reverie. "Gibbs, we are here at your house." She says with parking the car in the front of the house. Gibbs moves out of the vehicle with closing the door. However he looked across the street to see on whether Phineas was outside.

"I will be right back Loreile." He walked across to his house. He found him sitting on the couch reading a book. He looked up from his book A Tales of Two Cities with a wide eye smiled jumping up into his chest excited.

"Whoa Phineas, I am alive and well. Where is your aunt and uncle?" He asked with a worried tone.

"Went shopping Gibbs, they should be home very soon. You don't have to worry about me. I am very interested in reading this book staying out of trouble. Even though I really would like to play catch with you. However I know you have a number of things to do. Especially with the woman at the car waiting for you."

"That woman Phineas is called Lt. Loreile Baskins and she was my watchdog at the safehouse. She is a very beautiful and capable person." He said with a smirk showing up with his features.

Phineas for a nine year old was smart and was able to pick up emotions from anyone and including Special Agent Gibbs. "Thank you for telling me. Maybe tomorrow we will be able to play catch." He stated with watching Gibbs head back to his house and the woman following behind him.

Eleanor Bishop's apartment Two hours later

She had been released from the safehouse after her charge called her to let Bishop know. She was quite pleased even though she began to think about the woman her body double that was killed in her placed.

Drying her long blonde hair with a blue cotton towel. She was brushing it when their was a knock on her front door. She needed to look through the peephole to see who it might be. It was Nick Torres anxious to speak with her. She goes to open up the front door of her place. "Nick, how was the food and drinks?" She asked with watching him walk past her feeling uncomfortable all of a sudden.

"Terrible! I left to go home and change clothes. I needed to talk with you to reconnect. I knew something had to be up once Casey and Mcgee started to act strange everytime I tried talking to them about the murder of Gibbs and than you. However when Doctors Palmer and and Milliard found something." He pulled it out of his jacket to give it back to her.

"Wow! It's true Nick. I just needed to ask you for sure on why did you give me the ring in the first place?" She needed to be sure with the question.

"Why? I was finally ready to ask you the one question that has been on my mind for awhile. I love you, Ellie and I needed to ask on whether or not you would want to marry me. I know it's weird coming from me and my past history. I felt that you had finally let go of your past for when it comes to Jake and his cheating on you." He said choking on the last part of his statement.

"I must tell you that I will need a few days to give you my answer. Since I am still trying to adjust to freedom once again. No doubt Gibbs is having the same problem like myself, Nick. Can you at least wait a few days before I give you my answer?"

"Fair enough Bishop, I can wait any rate. Now if you will excuse me I am heading for the gym to work out my frustrations. No doubt Director Vance is going to give you and Gibbs a week off from the job?"

"I could use the time off to get myself together after what had happen to the woman that was killed here in my place. Have a good workout Nick." She honestly replied as he turned to walk out with closing the door behind him heading for the gym.

Federal Prison Late evening Change of shift with the guards.

Hussein was waiting to hear from his source about whether the robbery had gone down with his associates. Checking the time for the fourth time. He heard someone walking over to his cell thinking it was his man.

Taking a look at the dark skinned man not in uniform nor did he know just who it was. The cell opens with the man using the cell key. "What the hell is going on here?" Hussein asked in a tone that didn't stop him.

All of a sudden some type of a weapon was pointed at his face. "You're a dead man Hussein just like the rest of your goddamn friends when they are convicted by the judge and brought to a high level security prison like this one."

"Who the hell are you?" He cried out with trying to move away from the man.

"I am your nightmare Hussein. I am going to kill you and leave your body on the floor with no one coming to find out what has happened." It was a silencer as three shots hit his face and two into his chest as his body falls back against the cell wall with blood sipping out of his body.

The shooter places his silencer back into grey jacket before moving out to lock again the cell door to head back out the way he came.

Twenty minutes later the guard arrived making his rounds. When he noticed something inside of Hussein's cell. There was a body and blood everywhere. The guard made a call on his walkie talkie advising the warden and other guards.

He opened the cell to see if there was a pause in the neck bending down while his heart and blood pressure was rising. Hussein was dead and someone had gotten inside with the key shooting him three times.

There was differently going to be a further investigation into his death. Even though the United States Government when they find out will be glad he's dead.
