Dangerous Liaisons
Chapter 30th
"Ok, ok I get your message Doc. I will talk with her. When do you think you're able to set up an appointment with her?" He asked with rubbing a few fingers through his grey hair needing still a haircut by Loreile promising she would do it for him.
She still needed to give Gibbs his answer on the marriage question. Since he wanted to get married as quickly as possible in a private ceremony. She had to go out leaving another agent to take over for an hour or so. Tough she expected Doctor Taft to stay for awhile to chat with him like old times.
She came downstairs to let the two know that she was going out for an hour to be at the safehouse. "Gentlemen Agent Sanderson is outside. He will be protecting Gibbs along with another agent in the back. Doctor Taft have a nice chat." She said seeing that Gibbs was wondering on whether she was still upset at him in regard to the remark.
The both men watched her leave the house with closing the front door. "She 's still pissed at me for something I said to her. Even though she said that she wasn't upset at me." Gibbs quipped with Doctor Taft shaking his head at his friend.
"Jesus Jethro that woman loves you a great deal. Why are you always trying to push the people in your lives away?" Doc Taft was serious for when it came to his comment question.
Gibbs pushed himself up from the couch to look into Cyril's eyes. "I am not doing no such thing Doc. I was under a great deal of stress when I told her that she might of been one of jackasses trying to murder me and she took it the wrong way. And I am really sorry about it that I said it Cyril. She won't even give me an answer to my marriage question, she said that she was going to wait until everything had calmed down." He took in a deep breath with his heart racing slightly making Doc worried for the most part.
He moved in closer to check Gibbs pulse to make sure he was alright. He knew his patient really well for the better of eight years. "Gibbs try to take deep breaths and you're going to be fine. All this talk I need to let you rest and call Doctor Grace to make an appointment." He said with a slight smirk on his expression and the removal of his glasses.
Moments later he was feeling better. When he heard Doc say on the phone about her coming sometime today after three o' clock. "Thanks Doctor Grace, I will let Jethro know you're going to be coming. Take care my friend." He said laughing when he heard her response over the phone.
He turned to face his patient. "I heard Doc. And I promise to talk and be good to her with the remarks. Besides I plan on talking about Loreile and her altitude. When is she going to be here I could use a few hours shuteye before she comes."
"After three o'clock Jethro, you're going to have time to get in your fiesta. So I will leave you to your rest. Chow!" He walked outside to be greeted by Loreile.
Keeping their voices down low...
"How is he, Doc?" She was really about the man she loved a great deal.
"He's going to be fine with taking it easy, talking to Doctor Grace and you telling him yes to his question about getting married. It's that issue that is driving him crazy at the moment. You would think after being married four times, he would be tired of the subject?" He joked about it.
"Look Doc, Jethro has had only one true love and that was Shannon and his daughter Kelly aged eight for when the both of them were murdered by Pedro Hernandez. He wasn't able to replace her Doctor Taft." She sounded upset with her voice needing to head inside.
"Until now Loreile. The man is crazy in love with you to the point of being another true love. He wouldn't be going through all this to have you in his life. He's beating himself up inside wanting to have met you years ago instead of his twilight years." He sounded off at her.
"I don't see him as old Doc, he still has a lot of life left in him barring anyone once again tries to get back at him. And I am willing to do anything to protect him from happening in the first place." She said in anger while her blood pressure was rising.
"Any rate Doctor Grace will be here later to have him talk like she always does pushing him into admission. The man has hidden way too many secrets over the years and it's recently come to ahead with letting his team know about killing Pedro Hernandez 30 years ago. He had recently gotten most or all of his ghosts out of the way and I mean did you know he talks to dead people while they answer back to him?"
"No I didn't know this Doc. Who was the last one he had spoken to and vice versa?" She was now worried to a point of asking seriously with the question.
"His second wife Diane for when Fornell's daughter Emily had gotten into trouble with her addiction. It's been almost a year and a half now with Emily recovering now and Fornell back to work at the F.B.I." Doc says with beginning to move down the stairs. "I suggest you be gentle with him, Loreile. He needs your love and eventual answer to his marriage question."
"Ok." It was all she said with Taft walking down the front stairs to head for his vehicle.
She walked inside to the house not making too much noise to wake him. She was able to watch his face sleeping peacefully without any pain. She would leave him alone to head upstairs to rest herself feeling tired.
She would need to be around during the session with Gibbs and Doctor Grace unless it was going to be too much of an intrusion.
