Recovery: The Silent Enemy
Chapter 24th
Loreile was able to drive the grey truck with her husband sitting next to her. Gibbs kept staring at his wife carrying his unborn child. Doctor Cyril Taft had given him strict orders once again to make sure he follow his orders about resting as much as possible.
NCIS garage had fixed the grey truck quickly with the mechanics having worked for the Naval Yard a long time. Loreile had stopped at a red light turning to face her husband. "Why do you keep on staring at me while I am driving this beast?" She stated while watching for the light to change.
"Because I missed you a great deal Loreile. Even though at times it's hard for me to say for when it comes to my feelings. I am just happy to be going home and be inside our house to relax. How do I hate hospitals!" He mention to her again and in the hospital.
"Behave Jethro and you won't land yourself back into the hospital. Even your team and Vance is worried about you. Your team has been worried ever since you told them in the elevator about Pedro Hernandez." She quipped before moving again in the traffic even though they would be home soon.
"I had no choice Loreile, I was put into a corner by the judge back than. I am just glad that he's in prison as with his associates and the rest of SECNAV funds is back where it's supposed to be." He says even though he didn't mention about the rest of the info.
However she wouldn't let it go turning down the street for where the house was located. But first she needed to park the truck into the driveway. "Jethro it's not true about SECNAV's account, some of the money was taken for other organizations and including the Evergreen safe house." She didn't say anything further with getting out to help her husband out of the front seat.
However there was a surprise waiting for Gibbs as Phineas, Doctor Mallard, Casey and Palmer were coming out of the house to help with the bags. "Hey! What's going on guys?" Gibbs had to say with his eyes all lit up with seeing his friends and including Phineas.
"Jethro Gibbs we are here to visit you for a little while even though your doctor Taft had given orders not to over do it with the visit." Phineas had to laugh slightly as with Doctor Mallard hugging his long time friend without hurting him.
There was food and drinks waiting inside for the return of Gibbs coming home from the hospital. There were others from NCIS were inside with McGee, Torres and Bishop. They will not be staying all that long since they had a case to be working on in the first place.
The party didn't last all that long with Phineas walking back home to his house and his adopted parents taking him to baseball practice at the field. There was a small D.C. electrical truck sitting at the edge of the ball field keeping an eye out on the young boy Phineas. There were further orders by the Cartel to keep an eye out on Gibbs friends.
Loreile and Casey had cleaned up with the food and drinks both in the living room and kitchen since Gibbs had gone upstairs to take a nap as per orders. Wiping the dishes after Loreile had handed the wet dishes to Casey. "Do you think he's going to be alright both physically and mentally? " Casey needed to asked even though she knew it was none of her business.
"With help from Doctors Taft and Grace, my husband is strong and will be able to heal thy self." She was quiet for a moment as she handed Casey the last dish.
"I will need to get back to work. I am working on a case with lots of evidence having been brought in. Now if you will excuse me Loreile, I need to go."
"Thanks Casey for coming. I will let Jethro know for sure when he's awake." She hugs Casey as they head into the living room to grab her things with her small Lumina was waiting across the street.
Afterwards Loreile went upstairs to check on her husband who was stirring in the bed. She had the sneaky suspicious that he was up to something for when it came to the hospital and what she had tried to do with him sexually.
She had been missing her husband a great deal. Especially having to be pregnant and with raging hormones. She doesn't know just how far he will be able to go with her with his wound.
He had enough to worry about having the Cartel trying to murder him at every angle. Reaching the top level of the second floor, she was anxious along with her stomach doing flips.
She standing at the doorway of their bedroom once being his Shannon's. She was feeling the sadness inside her for the most part even after she had been dead 30 plus years along with Kelly. He stirred again to turn onto his other side with very little pain from his wound.
Opening his blue eyes slowly. He sees his wife standing in the doorway watching him. "Are you coming in to join me Loreile?" He said softly with his tone of voice to have her melting away her fears. She loved this man a great deal and she doesn't wish to see him suffer any further.
She came over to him to say. "Casey just left to head back to NCIS, She said something about having a ton of evidence to process." She smiled with using her right hand to touch the roughness of his face needing a shave. No matter how you see it, he was still handsome as a devil and extremely handsome for his golden years.
"Casey is a hard worker ever since Abbey left. By the way are you going to finished what you started at the hospital?" As he says with a hint of a wide smirk.
She was caught now and she needed to get into the action now to make himself and herself as well...
