Recovery: The Silent Enemy
Chapter 27th
The new psychologist Doctor David Reynolds was settling in with his new position for NCIS after leaving Michigan. He had heard a great deal about Jack Sloane on what she had done for NCIS and the victims of the cases that are now closed.
Director Leon Vance had finished up his work in the office and was able to give the new doctor a tour of the yards. They were heading down to the lab for where Casey and McGee were working on a case with evidence having been found at the pool area of an marine shot with a forty five.
She was checking the bullets that was fired from the weapon. She was able to get a partial print with her computer software was working on a possible suspect in the system. Director Vance had walked in with Doctor Reynolds when her computer ding with the name and profile of the suspect.
"You have anything new Agent McGee?" McGee and Casey turned from the computer screen to face the director and the new Psychologist taking over for Jack Sloane. "Before you answer this is Doctor David Reynolds the new Psychologist taking the position over from Sloane since she is now working in Manhattan, New York."
McGee would shake the man's hand as with Casey before telling the Director that it was another marine Sergeant Howard Gaines with his partial print on the bullets we found inside his body." McGee had to say with Casey checking to show the profile of the suspect.
Doctor Reynolds was able to come closer to take a look at the profile on the screen and say the following. "His profile shows that he's been arrested twice for assault and battery along with a history of violence in his past. There is a possible chance Director that he could kill again for a price no doubt."
"I agree with you, Doctor Reynolds. McGee and Casey thanks so much for the help on the case. It's just too bad that Gibbs isn't here to see this at all."
"I know Director, however Agent Gibbs will be back on Monday." Tim had to say before watching the two of them head back upstairs.
"I already like that Doctor, he knows what he was talking about after reading the profile on the Marine Sergeant Howard Gaines." Casey quipped with heading back into her office to relax in a comfy chair as with Tim McGee to head back to the bull pen.
"I just hope Gibbs will like him once he comes back from medical leave. Losing Jack Sloane was a big lost for NCIS and Vance since they were friends a long time." He replied before getting up from the comfy chair to be needing to work.
Phineas was once again home after being out with his adopted parents. He had his adopted father walk him across the street to see on whether his friend Gibbs was awake. He knocked on the door when Gibbs had gotten up from the couch after their games in the kitchen and making dinner.
Loreile was upstairs having taken her laptop with her to check her e-mail. She was silently steaming in regard to Casey's message, though her husband didn't bother to mention it to her.
"Phineas, I was beginning to wonder you would be getting back today. Would you like to come with me downstairs into the basement to help a little?" Gibbs would ask his friend as his eyes had lit up at the request.
"Why not Jethro Gibbs! Are you able to move without having too much pain with your stomach?" Phineas had to asked his friend with being concern.
"Ok, let's go,I will let Loreile where I will be." He called her at the bottom of the stairs to give her the news.
"Be careful Jethro, I don't need you hurting yourself further." She gave him a smirk knowing that she was kidding mostly.
Walking down the dusty steps from the sawdust and other pollutes from his projects over the years. He was able to show Phineas how to sand the rest of the cradle he was making for a friend of his. Phineas was rather enjoying himself with the sanding while wearing a pair of goggles.
After some time Loreile decided to bring them iced teas to quench their thirsts. She called them to let them know that she was coming down with the drinks.
Gibbs and Phineas stopped what they were doing with the sanding. Gibbs grabbed a small chair from the corner in order for his young friend to sit. While he sat on a bench for now.
She handed their drinks to head back upstairs to go back to her computer to sit down and write. It's not very often that she would be able to get back into her fan fiction had always liked to write SCI FI and crime stories over the years, but she was always too busy with her work for the most part.
It would be able to keep her mind off on what has been going on with her life and Jethro. Plus the fact she is pregnant and she doesn't need the added stress.
Before she headed upstairs she had a message for Phineas. "Phineas your adopted mother called to say that dinner will be ready in 30 minutes, she wanted you to know before washing up."
"Thank you, Loreile. I will be sure Jethro Gibbs will remind me before I head back across the street." He will says with drinking his iced tea.
She slightly chuckle when she saw her husband's funny reaction on his face.
Sometime later Gibbs was able to walk Phineas across the street without incident. He was looking for anything out of the ordinary after dropping his young friend off.
Coming back he walked back inside his house locking the door to check on where his wife had gone. He was able to find her upstairs laying down on the queen size bed having changed her clothes into a purple nightgown to try and take a short nap before calling for Chinese food in a little while.
"Are you alright Loreile?" He would say in a sultry type tone to indicate he was looking for something.
"Just tire Jethro mostly from the pregnancy. If you want, why don't you do the same as per doctor 's orders to try and sleep a little." She made the suggestion to him coming over to change into his sweats even though he would need a shower after spending time in the basement.
She was able to smell the dust on him and including with his silver fox hair...
