Recovery: The Silent Enemy
Chapter 30th
Gibbs heart rate excel for a few moments getting himself time to get ready to leave to check on his friend Tobias at the location given. Loreile asked if it was alright on whether she can come as well. He didn't bother to fight with the woman at this late hour. She rushed to dressed quickly with making sure she placed her small hand gun into her purse along with the essentials. She really didn't want him to travel alone.
It was a possible that it might be some sort of a trap with the accident. "Are you ready?" He asked trying to stay calm as best as possible. He had made sure that the front door was locked to the house as they headed for his grey truck in the driveway with the lateness of the hour.
She had gotten inside the truck as he pulled out from the driveway while moving down the street to where Tobias was waiting.
Loreile turned to watch her husband drive. She was certain he was basically thinking the same thing with it being a possible trap in order to get back to him again and try once more to kill him.
There wasn't any traffic on the roads with it being late in the evening. Gibbs saw the flashing of lights indicating the police had arrived along with the F.B.I. since it was there man involved. Parking the Grey truck across the ways staying away from the scene. Both Gibbs and Loreile walked under the yellow banner to see Tobias talking to the police about what had happened.
Tobias Fornell turned to see both his friend and his wife coming over to him still shaken from the incident. "Jesus Tobias, did you know who they were that tried to kill you?" Gibbs had to asked with his knee bothering him.
"Hell no, Gibbs. But I have a pretty damn idea that the Cartel might be involved. Just before leaving my office for the evening I had received a report that stated that the Cartel were very active with moving new drug and weapon merchandise into the tri state region and secondly begin the new assault on you, Phineas and myself." Tobias would say to have Gibbs pissed off with needing to hit something with his fist since he's been out of action from work.
"Jethro, you need to calm down for god sake." Loreile says pulling him back slightly. "Tobias what does the police have to say on the incident?"
"They will look into it with the description of the vehicle Loreile, otherwise we will just need to keep looking for the Cartel. Gibbs, can you get Leon to check into for NCIS?" Tobias had too asked as a favor.
"I will see what I can do Tobias with talking to Leon. I will send a e-mail to his computer and a voicemail. I can't promise anything at this point along with the resources."
"Of course I understand Gibbs. At least my car wasn't damage too much to drive. I was able to call Emily to let her know I am alright. She is very worried as always for when it comes to my health." Fornell had to say with Gibbs telling him the following.
"Let me drive you home in the truck, while your car is towed by the police. This way you will be able to get home safe and sound." Gibbs offered with the ride to Tobias house while Emily was waiting up for her father.
After talking with his F.B.I. agents and police finishing up with investigating the area. Gibbs, Loreile and Tobias were heading back to Fornell's house driving with caution with Loreile keeping out for any type of a tail following them.
Moments later they arrived at Tobias house. Gibbs and Loreile decided to spend some time with Tobias and his daughter Emily. She was sitting with her boyfriend Jordan age 22 working on a school project for communications. Emily has been dating Jordan for almost two years with her father having a fit when he had found out she was dating.
When she had seen Gibbs, she had run up to him happy to see him with a huge bear hug that almost knocked him down. "Uncle Gibbs, I am so happy to see you and Loreile. Were you able to find out who was behind the accident with my father?" She needed to asked with being such a smart woman.
"No, we didn't Emily. We wanted to make sure your father was brought home safe and sound. The police is going to drop off his car soon or in the morning. So how are you, Emily?"
"I am doing really well Uncle Gibbs, I would like you to meet Jordan. We needed to finish up the Communications project for our teacher Doctor Frank Housman. We will be having the presentation sometime tomorrow."
"I am happy for you, Emily. Listen, I need to be going." He turned to face Tobias sitting on the couch reading a file in his hand. "Tobias, call me tomorrow since it's Saturday, I will be going back to work on Monday. I will be able to work better with the resources at NCIS."
"I know Gibbs, let's just hope we can get the son of the bitches that wreck my car?" He stated with anger hitting the couch cushions with his fist. He was able to walk his friend and Loreile outside and to his grey truck. Temperatures outside had dropped slightly to be chilly somewhat.
Tobias was extremely glad that his friend was able to come to the scene with his supposed car accident. He had an vendetta against those of the Cartel once again causing trouble for Gibbs and everyone around him.
Riding along..."I just don't like this Loreile to have Tobias almost killed in a car accident. I am getting plain sick and tire of the bullshit going on with the Cartel." Gibbs would say with Loreile taking hold of his hand.
