Dangerous Liaisons

Chapter 26th

Just when Doctor Taft had gotten into his station wagon to head home to sleep before he's needed back at the hospital. Special Agent Lorenzo of the F.B.I. undercover needed to called Fornell to give his report on Agent Gibbs.

Lorenzo in his blue SUV across the street pulled out his cell phone instead of using the walkie talkie as per orders from Fornell. He was still inside Brighten's house talking to his own agents while NCIS was doing there thing.

He watched Palmer and his assistant helped move the bodies to the van outside to be taken to NCIS morgue for processing. His cell phone went off that was chirping away in his black coat jacket taking it out to answer.
"Yeah, what's the word Lorenzo?" He asked neutral with his response.

"Doctor Taft just left Agent Gibbs house to head away from his house. It's very quiet for the moment sir. Any further orders?" He asked sitting in his car using the binoculars sitting next to him.

"At the moment No Agent Lorenzo. Just make sure you keep on watching the house while Gibbs is sidelined inside with his injuries.

"Yes, sir."

Gibbs was sleeping on the couch when he started to dream or was it a nightmare...

Dream Sequence

He was overseas with Tony and another agent looking for the Calling leader Daniel Budd. He was feeling hot and uncomfortable walking around the square filled with the residents of the country. He was tired and in need of a drink and food but he had a job that was needed to be done.

He stopped to catch his breath when Tony came to stand by him to see if whether he was alright. "Are you alright boss?" Giving him his usual banter having know Gibbs a long time.

"I am fine Tony. Stop being a babysitter for god sake. We are here to look for Daniel Budd and Luke, now let's get moving." He ordered strongly.

Breaking away from each other to continue on searching the crowd. Daniel Budd called Tony on his cell phone when all of a sudden Luke Harris came out of hiding with a weapon in his hand calling out to Agent Gibbs...

"Agent Gibbs, I am here for you and the devil, I suggest you stand down to stop looking for us." Luke said standing 100 feet from him with a smirk on his face.

"No I won't Luke stand down. Your organization has done a lot of damage to the United States and other countries. You need to drop your weapon before someone gets hurt." He said with his heart rate rising as with his blood pressure trying to talk to Luke to drop his weapon.

"I can't Agent Gibbs, I am here to kill you to be rid of an enemy that has been taunting our people and others for many years." Luke fired his weapon at his right knee dropping him to the ground crying out in pain before trying to get up when another shot hit his chest dropping him for the last time..."NOOOOO...

All of a sudden Gibbs woke quickly from his nightmare sweating and his heart rate skyrocketing. He held onto his chest from the stress when his cell phone went off on his coffee table. He goes to answer it right away with taking in several deep breaths to calm himself. "Hello, Loreile is that really you?" She softly said over the phone from her quarters, she had a feeling something wrong.

"Yes, Jethro it is. Are you alright?" She was really concern for him.

NCIS Autopsy Bay

Palmer and his assistant started to work on the autopsies back at NCIS. Captain Brighten would be the first body he will began his work with Director Vance and other authorities needing answers. Palmer was angry having to be working without Doctor Mallard recovering from his injuries.

"I need you, Loreile. I just woke from a really bad nightmare about Luke Harris of The Calling. I know I am asking a great deal. I need you here if possible without getting into trouble with your superiors." He begged with his voice slightly breaking from emotion.

"I will see what I can do Jethro. But in the meantime try to take it easy before I get there." She hangs up the phone to talk with her supervisor.

Meanwhile outside his house there was a slight noise rattling against the door. Gibbs heard this and needed to find out what the hell it was. Forcing himself up from the couch with grabbing his weapon from the table.

Moving slow as hell with his right leg and shoulder. He was on the defensive not knowing what the noise would be.

As he opened the door he is knocked down by Agent Lorenzo working for Captain Brighten. "Not this time Agent Gibbs..." He goes to kick him into his stomach knocking the wind out of him and the pain. Gibbs using all of his strength he could mustard, he wrestled him the best he was able to trying to grab his gun.

However Lorenzo was stronger once again kicking him into his bad leg and shoulder to have him scream out from the intense pain...He was beginning to lose ground and maybe his life. He was hoping for a miracle making things feel like forever. He tried opening his eyes when he saw the barrel of the gun at his head and Lorenzo talking to him.

"My superiors including Wynn Crawford is going to be glad you're dead before we start next with Director Leon Vance."

Breathing hard with his brow soaked with sweat and blood beginning to seep through the bandages. "Why me? I work for NCIS for years trying to put people like you in prison or worst dirtbag. I won't give up my last breath until it is out of me." He said when all of a sudden Lorenzo is shot from the back of his head falling to the ground spraying Gibbs with blood splatter.

Lt. Loreile Baskins once again came to the rescue with firing her weapon bending down to check for a pulse knowing full well Lorenzo was dead. Afterwards she pulled out her phone to call for help. She had rush quickly with driving to his house after speaking with her superiors. She had a sneaky feeling that something just didn't seem right in the first place.
