Recovery: The Silent Enemy
Chapter 32th
Elle was very pleased with herself and the sketches. When he had left to head back to NCIS, She had to be sure to have his phone number. She was interested in knowing him further for when ever he's off duty. But for now she needed to get some rest before her next shifts starts at midnight for which she hates the most.
Elle had gone into her bedroom filled with antiques with collecting them for years. She had only shown them once to Special Agent Gibbs when she had asked him a favor a few years back with moving a piece of furniture from the bedroom into the living room. She repay him with a free breakfast and coffee for his helping out that he has accepted gracefully.
She placed on her blue cotton night gown before pulling down the blankets from her queen size bed to sleep. She was exhausted along with her feet hurting slightly. She had taken some pain pills from her doctor to help since she is always on her feet.

NCIS
Once the Sketch Artist had returned back to NCIS Naval Yards. He had placed the two sketches of the suspects given by the waitress Elle Wallace. They would know soon just who the suspects are that were asking about Special Agent Gibbs in the diner.
Gil Morton the sketch artist was on his own computer terminal after an hour for when the facial recognition of the two came up onto the screen. Gil had to whistle at the complete profile on the both of them having to be hit men for the Cartel. Willie Lopez and Dominque Mendez both dangerous men living somewhere in Annadale, Virginia.
When the screen continued with their military history. It had shown that both hit men had the knowledge of being snipers for the Mexican supreme army and Rivera.
It was at this particular time that Morton had left a voicemail on Vance's phone letting him know about the Bolo on the two in the diner. But in the mean time he was beginning to think about Elle knowing that she was home sound asleep. He was going to be getting off duty himself within the hour.

Loreile was feeling at her husband had taken her to diner to have a late dinner. She had the feeling that he had something up his sleeve for when it came to the two men in the diner. There was nothing more he could until he goes back to work on Monday. At least things were starting to move for when it comes to the Cartel and those after Gibbs.
He hated to always to keep watching his shoulder for when it comes to his own life and his wife. She had been through too much ever since they had gotten married.
After they had eaten at the diner. Gibbs decided to take a drive to the local market to pick up some supplies for the house. She wasn't able to understand as to why now when he has a house cleaner that does it once a month.
He was still hungry he claimed after having a turkey club at the diner. So she didn't say a word but watch and push the cart with Gibbs in a store no less. Even when he was married to Diane and the others just how he hated going shopping.
As for Shannon, he wasn't home much having to be away over seas fighting. Only when he was home she would do all of the shopping and including when Kelly was born.
Finishing up shopping moving to the front to pay for the food he and Loreile had picked out. He used his credit card to pay for it. Though Loreile had offered with using the cash she had on her in the purse along with her revolver for which she knows how to use really well.
While driving home to his their house in Alexandra. Gibbs kept on looking for any type of a tail. While Loreile was trying to keep her mind off when the baby in her stomach started to be active once again to catch her off guard.
He turned for a moment making sure she was fine or not. He had to stop the grey truck to the side watching for traffic. "Are you alright Loreile?" He asked with great concern for his unborn child. They can't afford to lose the baby now...
"I am fine Jethro, the baby moved to scare me slightly. No doubt he or she will calm down soon." She replied with him holding her hand for emotional support.
He started to move the truck once again before finally moving the street for where the house was located. Parking into the driveway and turning off the engine. "I wonder if Phineas is still up?" He asked with Loreile moving out of the truck.
"You will find out when you get into the house with the groceries." She smirked with taking one of the smaller plastic bags filled with fruit.
She did notice that all of a sudden he was slightly limping with his right knee. She will probably grab the ice pack for when he's ready to use it with his determination.
Moving inside his chilly house. He went to place the grocery bags onto the kitchen table to have his wife put everything away accept the new steaks, potato's and corn on the corn. She was still shaking her head when he went to place the logs into the fire place to start the fire going to warm up the living room.
He sat down on the couch after he was done. Loreile being a smart woman grabbed the ice pack to bring it over to her stubborn husband. He looks up with a slight smirk on his that she wanted to wipe off his face at times.
"Thanks, I could use it right now with the knee throbbing. And I have no idea as to why. I would think it would be my stomach bothering me. How about those steaks for tonight? I am still hungry for some odd reason."
"Let me rest a minute and I will start cooking the steaks in the fire place since I now know the best tricks, as with the potatoes and Corn on the cob." She sat down next to him relaxing her legs up onto the already taken by her husband with his one leg and the ice pack on the knee.
