Cutting off the head of the snake

Chapter 14

Walking into her suite. She really needed a shower after sitting, smelling the smoke of those men smoking killing themselves as time goes by. Removing her soiled clothing and placing them into a plastic bag for now. Until she has the time to wash them.

She pulled out her purple slinky dressed for which she needed a night to be wild without the restraints of her work at this point. She had placed her panties and heels onto the bed for now. While she moved into the bathroom running the shower water while needing to be sure that the water was perfect for her right now.

Grabbing her dove soap and VO5 shampoo into the shower. She begin to wash up not intending to stay in long as her ritual from over the years.

After she was done with drying her hair and her body feeling slightly better. She began to get dressed taking a quick look into the mirror in order to apply her usual make up for the evening to bring out her complexion.

Placing the dress into place, heels and her charmed bracelet filled with all types of animals and including dolphins that she loves a great deal.

She was ready to head downstairs for dinner and drinks. Walking out of her suite to head for the elevator.

She walked inside after pressing the desired floor. She was out to have a good time. She had placed her cell-phone on off with not needing anyone to call her. And this even included one Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Walking out of the elevator. There was a great deal of foot traffic. Since there were all types of shops and restaurants along with the Ivory Tower Bar & Grilled. She really liked the title of the bar. It sounds like a good place to be getting drunk.

Stepping inside with the opening of the double doors. A young hostess with a menu in her hand asked on where she will like to sit. "At the bar will be fine. I will let the bartender what I will want to drink as with food. Since I am going to be here for awhile."

she said with a smile.

However she had noticed a tall, handsome, with dark black hair sitting near her drinking away. She didn't know just how long this man had been here in the first place. He had asked the bartender for another Scotch.

He had placed the money onto the counter with a $20.00 dollar bill. The bartender had told the customer that the woman next to him brought him a drink. Loreile ordered the Scotch and a Bourbon for herself.

He turned to face Loreile with a smile..."Thank you for the drink. My name is David Allison of the Naval conference upstairs." he commented...

"Me to. My name is Loreile from Washington, D.C.. Are you here alone?" she asked the one question that she didn't need to asked.

"I am. Though I did fly here with two of my male friends from Orland, Florida. Ever been there?" he asked with taking a sip of his Scotch.

"I have with a friend of mine a few weeks back. Otherwise I don't know on whether I will be able to go back again."

The bartender had brought out Loreile's Chicken Wings and fries to go along with the Bourbon. She began to eat her food with another Bourbon. While Allison had moved off to no doubt look for his friends.

She really wasn't in the mood to play games with anyone at this time. While needing the time alone...

Bethesda Hospital...It was late...

Special Agent Gibbs had been trying to sleep for the past few hours. Unable to close off his mind to his thoughts. He decided to sit up trying to find a deceit movie on the cable.

However he was interrupted when there was a knock on his door. Thinking that it might be one of the nurses or doctors on duty for the overnight?

He had mention that who ever it was to come in already. And walked in to be Timothy McGee in his wheelchair needing to talk to his boss and associate. "Jesus! What are you doing at this time of the night?" he says with sitting up further with the remote in his hand.

"Couldn't sleep Gibbs. I needed to get a few things off my mind even though we had said it all during the past few days?" he commented...

"Okay go ahead Tim?" he said with needing to drink some of the cold water from the grey pitcher.

"First of all I am extremely to hear about Loreile leaving for California? I don't know if you know this that Doctor Taft has been holding the engagement ring that she had given back?" Tim replied with Gibbs not knowing about it.

"I didn't know. It's not going to do any good when she had left me for good with giving back the ring back." he commented...

"How do you know Gibbs? Do you ever think that Loreile might want you to follow her to California on work on your issues like I did with three god damn therapists? Why do you think she gave the ring back only to have Taft give it to you and to place it back on her finger?" Tim says with seeing his boss thinking about the idea. Even though he will have to talk with Taft with releasing him from the hospital. Though he will promise to be careful totally...
