Dangerous Liaisons
Chapter 23th
Alexi's body was removed from ICU and down to the hospital morgue until NCIS will be able to pick up the body in the morning. Two of the security guards were in critical condition after coming out of emergency surgery and placed in ICU in another section on the fourth floor.
As for Special Agent Jethro Gibbs, he was being taken care of by Doctor Cyril Taft in his unit while the paperwork will be processed to cover themselves. Taft continued to mumbled to himself with making sure that his friend wasn't going to pass out while he was going off Captain Brighton. He needed to call someone once he had left the hospital with F.B.I. agent Tobias Fornell.
He was afraid for the older agent, he's been through too much in the past 30 years and he wasn't surprised two years ago for when he broke down to talk with Doctor Grace at the saloon and her office, along with himself. The man can only take so much with being grief stricken.
He placed the last of the bandages around Gibbs head as with his shoulder really sore, tender and throbbing. However He was able to plunge a needle into his arm to help somewhat with the pain. Even his leg was causing Gibbs a problem, though he would be able to get through it for now.
"You're good to go Gibbs, try not to mess up with my handy work. I don't wish to see you hurt further to spend more time in the ICU." Doctor Taft threw it up into his face for now as Fornell was waiting out in the hallway going over the details with agents.
"Believe Doc, I will try not to get myself injured further. " He had helped by Taft with placing on his jacket since it was cold outside with some light rain hitting the region.
"Fair enough Gibbs." He watched him leave the room slowly knowing that he was hurting, however he knew that Gibbs will be able to get through the pain issues.

Downstairs in the underground parking lot...
Fornell was giving Gibbs the location of Captain Errol Brighton home address in Fairfax, Virginia. He lived in a house instead of an apartment complex making it easier to get at him. "There is a gate leading into the back yard with a small lighting fixture to brighten the side and back. However there are windows leading to a basement that you're area to get inside making it hard on your shoulder and leg."
"Don't worry about it Tobias. What about the front door ? Any alarms?" Gibbs needed to ask with the question.
"There is one alarm that he keeps on during the night and the code is 2, 4, 7, I was able to get a friend of mine recently to figure it out to use for future references."
"So you knew for a long time that he might of been involved Tobias?"
"I didn't have any evidence until recently to catch him in the act. I have told you in what was needed to get into his house. I just hope that he doesn't skip town before that?" He says with getting into the front seat to drive the black SUV Vehicle.

Evergreen Safehouse
Lt. Loreile Baskins cell phone was going off like a Christmas tree waking her from a sound sleep. Grabbing her cell from the small table next to her queen size bed. She was able to see the caller I.D. to be Doctor Taft calling from his home after retrieving certain information on line.
"Doc is there something wrong with Jethro?" She asked with grave concern while wiping the sleep from her eyes and the strands of long black hair.
"Listen to me Loreile, you need to help Jethro and Fornell. I am afraid they will be walking into some sort of a trap." He stated excited with his quarkly demeanor.
"What are you talking about at three o'clock in the morning?' Loreile needed to know with anger building in her gut.
"Here is the address they are heading at this time after I forced to released him from the hospital. He's heading for 1640 West Rodale avenue, Fairfax Virginia. It's Captain Errol Brighton's address, I suggest you hurry before the both of them are killed." He said to get his message across to her.
"I am on the way Doc, I suggest you meet me there as well just in case. I do hope you're able to use a weapon?" She asked just in case she will need back up.
"Yeah, I do Loreile." He ended the conversation to turn and face his wife Catherine listening into the conversation.
"Go already Cyril, Just be sure to come back alive." Catherine says to her husband of twenty plus years. He kissed her really quick to head for his secret draw for where he keeps his 45 handgun already filled with the bullets. He checked it once more before getting ready to leave along with the directions.
Meanwhile Loreile knew how to get out of the safe house without anyone catching her. She wasn't going to say a word to Vance or any of her associates working at the safe house. Moving into her vehicle making sure not to hurt her shoulder since it was tender as hell currently.
It was going to take twenty minutes since she knew the most loose areas for security.
She was able to finally get out without getting caught. She headed for Fairfax, Virginia worried as hell.

Gibbs and Fornell parked their vehicle down the street from Brighton's house. He was helped by Fornell to move out of the car to head down the street away from the lights. What they saw was two vehicles parked in the driveway assuming someone else was inside the house with Brighton and the lights on inside.
"Looks like someone else is with him in the living room Gibbs. I will try the side windows to see if I can get inside, while you try the back. Be very careful with your movements." Fornell made the suggestion with watching Gibbs move away from him.
Inside the house Jerome was there after leaving the hospital with Alexi was moving through the ducts of the hospital. "I haven't heard a word as yet Errol, we will need to start up plan C to try and get inside the Evergreen safehouse." Jerome moved towards the kitchen with Brighton to have something to drink.
"I don't think it's feasible to do anything right now once we know for sure that Gibbs is dead finally after all this time. Now that the organization The Calling has a new leader, maybe he and followers will take over with the rest of the plan." Captain Brighton said with pulling out two Budweiser's from the frig.
