Recovery: The Silent Enemy
Chapter 31th
While they were driving in the truck coming from seeing Fornell and Emily at their house. Loreile had let go of her husband's hand to let him drive. When she noticed that he was heading into a different direction.
"Where are we going Gibbs?" Loreile said using their last name watching him drive a little bit faster.
"Are you hungry? I am driving to the diner to have something to eat and to try to see who our tail is for the moment." He made the comment with looking into the mirror with turning to head down the street to the diner.
Loreile didn't say a word with pulling out her small revolver in the purse sitting next to her just in case. The black SUV turned as well before pulling off into a different direction. "Damn! That was close Jethro." As she was holding her breath with the grey truck turned into the parking space for the diner that is open 24/7.
"Maybe! Come on let's go inside to order while I call Leon." Gibbs would say to his worried wife with him opening the door to let her inside to meet up with the waitress Elle having worked for the diner the last ten years.
She comes over to asked on whether he wanted his usual when ever he comes to the diner. "Gibbs Coffee as well?" She asked with him nodding before grabbing her hand to get her attention.
"What's wrong Gibbs?" She lowered her voice in order for anyone to hear her voice.
"Listen Elle, has there been any strange people come in asking questions the past few days about me?" He looked outside to see on whether the same SUV was around. Even Loreile was able to pick it up with her keen senses.
Thinking about it for a moment. "Come to think about it Gibbs. There were two dark types maybe Indian or Hispanic asking on whether you would be coming into the diner. They called you by your last name to have me thinking that something must be up."
"Are you able to describe the two with a sketch artist when I get in touch with my boss of NCIS even though I am not officially back to work until Monday." Gibbs needed to say with waiting for her response about the sketch artist.
"Sure Gibbs I can do it. I will be off duty within the hour once my relief arrives. We will then be able to do it at my apartment to be more comfortable away from the diner. "
"Okak, I will Leon and get a sketch artist come here to the diner. And in the meantime Loreile will give you her order." He stated with Loreile going into action with being hungry with the baby inside her stomach as well.
Elle walked away to give the cook their orders and in the mean time Gibbs used his cell phone to call Leon.

NCIS DIRECTOR'S OFFICE
Director Leon Vance was on the phone with SECNAV in regard to situation going on the Daniel Webster carrier having been fired upon by a lone jet with no international markings. There wasn't any damage nor injuries happening late last night to catch everyone off guard. His phone call ended with the Secretary of Navy needing answers.
Leon was shaking his head when his cell phone had gone off to be Gibbs calling. He answered the call right away since he never really calls him unless there was a problem. "Gibbs, this is Leon what's going on since you don't have to be at work until Monday?"
"I know Leon. However I wanted to let you know after going to check on Tobias. Loriele and myself in the truck heading for the diner was tailed until the black SUV pulled away into a different direction."
"Did they come back around to follow you to the diner?" Vance sits up straight in his chair.
"No. But Elle the waitress tells me that there were two men in the other day asking about me and she is able to describe them with a sketch artist. I will need for you to order one to come to the following address within the hour since she will be getting off work and doesn't want anyone to know that she works for at the diner.
"I will see to it Gibbs. Please keep me updated once you arrive home at your house. I will be here in my office or MTAC." He replied with a slight headache coming on. "Talk to you soon." He ended the conversation to call downstairs of the basement section to have a sketch artist to head for the address given by Special Agent Gibbs.
As it had worked out with Elle going off duty at the diner. Her replacement Janet a blonde woman had been working at the diner for almost ten years and loves it a great deal. Elle had driven home without a problem parking her grey Volkswagen with the sketch artist waiting for her showing his badge and I.D. He was a older man in his late fifties with silver hair like Gibbs.
"Shall we go inside the apartment complex Eric. I have the key to get inside before taking the elevator to the fourth floor. The neighbors in this building are really nice." She stated with moving inside the lighted hallway with the sketch artist following behind.
After sometime in her spacious beautiful apartment decorated with antique African statues and other artifacts. She was able to give an accurate description of the two males having walked into the diner.
Afterwards she had offered to make coffee for him for which he accepted graciously from the waitress and really beautiful for her age and built. After the coffee he was on the phone with orders from Vance letting him know that a Bolo will be going out on the two males once he gets back to NCIS.
