Recovery: The Silent Enemy

Chapter 33rd

Gibbs was relaxed now on the couch with the ice pack helping with the swollen knee. He had his white lap top on his lap checking to see if Phineas had sent him a message. "YOU HAVE ONE E-MAIL", The computer announced with the new enhancement that was made.

He brought up the e-mail to be from his friend. "Jethro Gibbs how are you feeling? My teacher for history has me working hard on writing up an essay on the subject of World War Two. I was wondering on whether you can tell me a little about your father Jackson having to have flown as a pilot for the United States Air Force. Even though back than it wasn't called that. I would appreciate it greatly if possible."

"Of course I can Phineas." He had to think first on what he was going to say about his father.

"I remember something from what my father had told me about a German pilot having saved his life having lost his way back to the English coast and his base. It wasn't until many years later for when this particular pilot was dying and had written my father a letter asking him to come see him. However I wasn't able to understand what was going on Phineas until my team and myself had figure it out, that his friend was now in a nursing home to die and wanted to see my father Jackson one last time. And for which he had gotten his wish to say how sorry he was and vice versa.

I must admit it was an sad event for me overall that my father had lost a friend in this German pilot. I do hope that this will help you in some way to come up with a report for your history teacher that will no doubt give you a mark of A for the best in the class.

I know you will do wonders in the class as with the others. I am just glad Phineas that you're my friend and I hope it will be that way for years to come.

I will write again soon with needing to be having my dinner in spite the fact I have an ice pack on my right knee once again.

Your friend,

Jethro

It was at this time that he push the send button and for which his friend Phineas no doubt will be looking forward to reading.

Afterwards Gibbs removed the ice pack with the swelling had gone down. He was going to help his wife now even though she was still working in the kitchen setting the table after finishing up with the steaks, while the potatoes were in the oven. She would asked her husband coming inside the kitchen seeing that he was now walking normal without the limping.

"I see you're feeling better Jethro. Are you able to help me with the salad? How did it go with Phineas?" She asked with him needing to answer her question.

"Yes, I am feeling better. Yes, I can help with the salad and it went well with Phineas." He stated with a slight smirk on his face. She knew what was exactly he wanted. However that was going have to wait until later.

"SMARTASS!" She announced with him chuckling at her remark before pulling her into an strong embrace and passionate kiss...

After he had broken off the kiss with his wife. He wasn't going to give her what she wanted the most at this time. Dinner was just about ready accept for the salad. He was able to see in her eyes with the expression that she was disappointed.

However he was going to make it up to her later in the bedroom and go from there. He started to tell her about his friend Phineas.

"Phineas is worried that he might fail with his history project after I had told him the story about my father and his German pilot. I know it's not easy for any young boy or girl to understand the history of World War two and even prior." He says with taking a bite of the ripe tomato into his mouth.

She had seen his look when he chewed on the tomato with giving her a slight hint of a smirk. She had placed the last of the essentials onto the table and including a bottle of Budweiser near his plate and for herself a glass of diet Pepsi that was her down fall for the most part.

Afterwards with the salad now ready and Gibbs going to wash his hands at the sink. She walked behind him with his stomach to have him feel possible the baby inside. He turned with a look of love on his face to kiss her before she held his face and a hand running through his silver fox hair.

However he stopped as with herself to head for the dinner table to have their steak, Potato and salad before the evening is done and bedtime.

After helping with cleaning the dinner dishes. Loreile was busy at the sink when her husband came from behind her placing his arms behind her. She felt secured with him around even though their are those still after him wanting him dead.

It was his past once again having caught up to him to cause the misery in his his and hers. She turned to fall into his chest crying having let go of her emotions. She wasn't able to stop the crying as Gibbs tried to console his beautiful wife.

"I am so sorry Jethro about showing all this weakness. I need to try to be much more stronger for when it comes to my emotions. I know you have done it many times over the years keeping your emotions at check." She would say with her husband wiping the tears away from her face.

"Don't worry about it Loreile, I completely understand." He moves in to kiss his wife with passionate that he can muster.
