Cutting off the head of the snake
Chapter 13
"Tell me agent Gibbs did you have any feelings for the woman at all to make her think otherwise?" he asked...
"I did. But I was always afraid to act on them Doctor. Especially for when it comes to my track record with the ladies over the years. And I wasn't about to get hurt again with Sloane." Gibbs said with his heart in pain for when it comes to his inner feelings.
"That's too bad Gibbs! However yet you were able to open your heart to Lt. Loreile Baskins and fall for her any ways?" he mentions to the 69 year old agent.
"I did and I still can't believe it nevertheless. Hopefully I will be able to stay happy for the rest of my life and combined it with my work for NCIS until I decide to retire." sounding mellow slightly with the retirement issue.
"I know it's a hard question to asked but do you have any idea on when you're going to retired?" he looked at Gibbs expression of not really knowing the answer.
"At this point when I had spoken with Doctor Confalone a few years back. I wasn't ready to retired. Though Director Leon Vance had been pushing the issue every time he gets a chance for the most part." he said period...
"Did he bring up an option Agent Gibbs on whether you're able to stay like working at the Academy or the gun range as a teacher?" he brought this us whether or not he's able to listen...
Moving a little in his bed..."He had brought it up with a chance to work once in a while the OFF THE BOOKS OPERATION?"
"I don't understand please explain?" he shifted in his chair writing OFF THE BOOKS on the pad.
"UNOFFICIAL DOCTOR! I have worked these kind of operations in the past and all of the time involving the Cartel." he says to have the doctor interested." And believe me in each case I had wound up on the wrong side in the hospital with having been caught in the middle."
"Have you discuss this with Loreile?" he asked...
"I have doctor and she agrees that I shouldn't work on these operations and further as with having me to work at the Academy instead as a team leader."
"Are you going to listen to her even though you're not married as yet Special Agent Gibbs?" good point with the question the doctor had to say...
"Yes. However I will like to wait a year before I finally make that decision. Otherwise I have the baby to worry about, getting my health back into order after these few years, and the biggest issue is my job with NCIS on whether I am able to continued doing my job in the first place."
But then again Loreile was in California after the fight they had...
"I must say Gibbs that you have your priorities in check. Accept for the fact you need once again to talk with your Senior Field Agent Timothy McGee to make sure there isn't going to be any hard feelings between the both of you on the job and outside of NCIS?" he said with writing a short note onto the yellow pad.
"I agree with you on that comment doctor. Though I still felt that I had done the right thing with shooting Tim in order to stop him with the bomb on board the plane?" Gibbs needed to point out.
"Good. And on that account I am going to let you rest finally Special Agent Gibbs." he cried out with packing up his briefcase and note pad. "If anything else should come up Gibbs. Please call the nurses station and they will contact me with my service."
"Thank a lot Doctor for your help. It was somewhat productive for the most part." Gibbs say with the doctor shaking his hand before leaving his room.
The past few days Loreile had been working to keep her mind of Leroy Jethro Gibbs after the fight and with handing back the engagement ring back to Doctor Cyril Taft. He has not given it back to him since he's not had the chance.
She was sitting in the conference room taking notes for the Evergreen safe house in Washington, D.C. She still didn't know what she was planning on doing with Gibbs and the baby. What he really needs is a dose of reality at this time.
She had called Eleanor Bishop before heading out for her undercover operation at a gambling casino. So far she hasn't called her back with an update. Since Vance had told her that the operation was really dangerous with herself and Torres involved.
Loreile having to be bored as hell with coming here in the first place. She should of never listened to her friend Jack Aker of the safe house. This had been going on for three hours. When finally the promoter of the conference ended it for today. Everyone heading out for dinner downstairs. She needed to change into something different to brighten up her mood with tonight.
Taking down the last of the notes on the pad and into her black briefcase before walking out with taking out her key for her suite on the eighth floor.
