Christmas Miracles

Chapter 17th

Instead of Special Agent Gibbs calling Director Leon Vance. Loreile after relaxing on the couch with the fireplace warming up the living room and other sections of the old creaky house. She pulled out her cell phone once more to call Vance. Knowing for a fact he was at work coming in this morning with the snowing letting up. However it was a different story now with the snow heavy as with the blowing winds making it treacherous to drive now.

We were lucky to get home safe and sound. And speaking of which she promised her darling husband that she will call him and let him know that she had made it home safe and sound. Bringing up his number to be on the screen in her hand. She waited for the connection to go on through once more...

Gibbs was laying down on the bed with his right leg hoisted up with two pillows with help from the nursing staff hating this weather making it harder to go on home. Where as some of them were stuck with working extra shifts and their tax rates going up with their by weekly checks.

Gibbs felt his phone vibrant since it was obvious he didn't shut it down for the evening knowing that George had driven her home in this crazy weather. And the forecasters were right with the predictions of snow levels. "Gibbs how can I help the very cold Mrs. Gibbs no doubt?"

"Not cold at all Mr. Gibbs. Just calling to let you know that we made it safe and sound home. George was never so glad with the roads were very slippery in spite the fact the maintenance crews had been putting down the salt rocks onto the main roads. Forget the side roads, I feel sorry for those not able to get home tonight."

"At least you and George made it home? How's Shane and his buddy with working on the snowman?" He asked with feeling cooped up inside his hospital room.

"He's asleep. They didn't bother to go out with the snow falling down too much. I do know that Phineas is probably upset over it. There is always tomorrow and I hope this snow stops?" She stated with feeling bad for her son and Phineas.

"I will send Phineas a email to his laptop and find out about how he feels. Otherwise there is nothing else to do accept sleep, eat and watch TV." He said to have Loreile smiling over the phone that his sense of humor was still working. "By the way are you going to call your friend Leon about whether or not on how much time I will be able to take with my vacation and personal time?"

"Really Jethro! How did you know I was going to call him?" She replied with the shake of her head...

"Because I know you, Loreile. I really don't mind you calling him. There is nothing else he can tell you other than the fact he has a location of my foe Hernandez?" He responded realizing that his wife was thinking of a nasty reply. But instead she didn't say a word at all..."I will go now my love and let you call Leon while I sit here bored."

"You can always masturbate in bed and just lock the door?" She stated with a chuckle before hanging up to bring up Vance's number again getting a great deal of use.

NAVAL YARDS Director Vance's office

Leon Vance was bored as hell after finishing up the last of the files he needed to sign and send off into different directions. When his cell went off in his blue jacket. "Now what?" He cried out to himself with his secretary helping out somewhere downstairs. He had noticed it was Loreile a busy beaver today with calling. "Loreile what's up?"

"I am sorry to be bothering you about something my husband Jethro was going to call you about. What we need to know on how much time can Gibbs take with his vacation at one time as with his personal time? The reason I am asking is the fact we are talking about vacation even though I know my husband wants to go after Jose Hernandez."

"Actually he can take all of it if he wants with his vacation and personal time pay. I can always have Lt. James Brown and other agent to work with the team on different cases. I know it won't be easy with Gibbs being gone all that time. We missed him greatly when he retired the first time around being gone."

"Okay I will tell him when we are ready to do this. Unless you have further intel on Hernandez from the DOD and SECNAV?" She had to be sure...

"Not at this time with this snow fall causing havoc all over the tristate region. I will be sure to let you and Gibbs know." He responded..."I will let you go now Loreile."

"Thanks for your help Leon. Good night." As she hung up to relax finally with getting up to check on her son upstairs.

"How is he, Madeline?" She asked about Shane laying in his crib restless as hell.

"Restless and wants Phineas to play with even though it's snowing like hell outside." She said with putting down her book on "Moby Dick."

Loreile moved over to the crib to talk with her son baby talking for now. "Shane baby your friend Phineas is across the street and can't come out of the house in a blizzard. You need to calm down now or I will call daddy to talk with you." That did it with the calming effect with her son.

"That did it Loreile. He's asleep quickly." She mention to Loreile moving out to check on vacations spots for herself and Jethro for when ever he gets out of the hospital...She looked outside the window with the snow coming down a real blizzard. There was nothing on the streets at the moment even the plows.

She was wondering on whether even Hernandez and his regime was able to bring in any weapons or drugs into the tristate region with the blizzard. She turned on the tv to watch the news to have the weatherman talking about the blizzard and how much longer it was going to last.

"OMG!" She said that there was going to be another five inches until it ends...
