Recovery: The Silent Enemy

Chapter 28th

It was exactly what Leroy Jethro Gibbs would do with following his wife's orders with going to take a shower. He needed to listen for a change for when it does come to his own health. Even if Doctor Cyril Taft had said it enough times during the past few months.

Sitting down at the edge of the bed upstairs to remove his soil clothing and throwing them into the basket weave hamper. Afterwards sitting for a moment remembering ...

It was a memory of Doctor Samantha Ryan having told him about Harper Dearing and her ex husband giving her a great deal of grief before she decided to leave Gibbs and her life at the Pentagon. She was just too scared to live her life.

Gibbs remembered when he had killed Harper Dearing at the house plunging the knife twice into his stomach dropping his body to the ground...His own anguish of finally killing this madman was over, even though now he was facing a new enemy during the past months.

He came back to his own reality to head into the shower to have the hot spray beat down onto his head, shower and body. He had to be sure not to have the hot water hit the tender spot of his wound.

Loreile downstairs was beginning to wonder on whether her husband was fine taking his shower. So she decided to head upstairs to check on him. She knocked on the bathroom door to hear the shower water running. "Jethro, are you alright in there?" She had to asked with being a wife worried mostly.

He heard her while washing his silver fox hair with his shampoo that smelt like rose pedals. "Fine Loriele, why don't you come in an join me with washing my back and legs?" He stated with a hint of a smirk growing on his face even though he needed a shave.

"Sure. I will be right in with taking off my clothing." She knew very well just what exactly was on his mind. She moved inside seeing his standing waiting for her arrival with open arms...

NCIS

Doctor David Reynolds had gone to his office to bring him up to speed on the employees that he would be over seeing in the bullpen and others. Director Leon Vance had made mention to him that he needed to give himself the time to adjust to the new position after it's been vacant by Jack Sloane.

He had heard that she had done a wonderful job at the position. Even though he was told that her biological daughter was leaving the hospital that she was working at to transfer out to New York. No further details was given as to why she had left as with Jack Sloane.

Currently everyone had been working trying to find the location of certain Cartel members involved with Rivera located in Mexico now dead. He wasn't told of details either since it was highly classified. He could always force Director Leon Vance to tell him the complete truth.

His door to his office was opened when he saw one of Special Agent Gibbs long time agents believing to be Tim McGee. "How can I help you Special Agent McGee?" He asked calmly for the agent to hear him any rate.

"Director Vance asked me to come up here to mostly say hi before I head home." He had replied standing up.

"You're in charge currently since Special Agent Gibbs is on medical leave. I heard that at times he can be difficult for when it comes to going after the criminals?"

"Yes, he can. You must remember doctor that Agent Gibbs has a certain style and rules that he goes by after all of these years he has been working for NCIS."
"I have been told this by Director Vance, along with being married five times. I know it's none of my business for when it comes to his personal and I don't intend to mettle. I will let you go home now having been a long day for myself as well."

Turning to leave his office. McGee says the following..."Good luck with the new position Doctor Reynolds."

It was at this point that Reynolds closed his door to lock it. There was a telephone number he had to call to let a certain associate letting him know that he had arrived safe and sound. Dialing the number with using his cell phone instead. He had waited until someone had answer the phone.

Voice: How did it go David?" He would say somewhere located in Virginia.

"It went well Frank. No one suspects a thing, I will inform the Cartel that I have settled in and will begin to profile on Gibbs and his team. Maybe we will be able to be successful after months of trying to be rid of our enemy."

"I know we will David. It was Rivera's biggest plan before Gibbs was able to take him out in Mexico. His sister would be proud." Looking at the time on the wall. "Listen I need to end this now and be ready to head on home. I still have unpacking to be done at the apartment complex."

"Fine, just be sure to have all of the Intel we will need for the next stage of the plan David."

"Sure enough." He ends the connection to the call to begin packing up his paperwork to take home with him. Director Vance had given him plenty to read in order to know all of the rules and regulations.

He opens the door once again to leave with the lock clicking telling him that his office door was locked. Taking the elevator downstairs their wasn't anyone inside until he reach the main entrance of the building.

He took a deep breath smelling of the crisp air with a slight chance of rain for the evening.
