Dark Void
Chapter 41th
"Outside Fornell and in my truck to talk." Gibbs had to say with a slight chuckle. Moving outside of the house and his grey beat up truck.
"Ok what the hell is going on Jethro to come out here?" Fornell was shaking his head with not believing his friend's antics.
"Hernandez might be here in the states with Riccio having killed those two marines sharp shooters. I have asked Leon to speak with the DOD and SECNAV to set up more of the OFF THE BOOKS operations to search for the terrorist group and the movement of the pipeline Tobias."
"You know you're crazy to be doing this in the first place? It's a no wonder Loreile is in the process of really divorcing you?" Tobias wasn't supposed to say a word to him about her plans.
Taking a moment to catch it with the words "Really Divorcing". "What the hell are you talking about Fornell? Loreile is doing no such thing with this play is only a game to try and bring Hernandez out into the open." He relayed the information to his friend not believing a word of it.
"If you don't believe me Jethro? Than I suggest you either called Director Vance since they are good friends or even Loreile herself."
"I will as soon as you leave with taking the file and showing your regional boss. I am not going to give up until this bastard is caught like all of the others." Gibbs state with a deep breath as he was having some stress related pain in his chest as Taft had mention over the years.
"Are you alright Jethro?" Tobias placed a hand onto his shoulder.
"No I am not Tobias. I need to go back into the house and lay down making it easier. I am getting too old for this!" He stated with Tobias Fornell agreeing to the statement.
Tobias helped his friend into the house with asking where were his pain medication located. "In the medicine chest upstairs near the first bedroom.
He laid down with placing a pillow under his right knee throbbing as well. While he watched his friend walked up stairs to looked for his medication. After a moment he had found the two bottles given by Doctor Taft.
"Here we go Jethro. How pills are you supposed to be taking?" He asked with moving to the kitchen to get some water for him to take.
After swallowing the two pills and cold water. Gibbs laid back down to rest while Tobias left with the file in his hand. After some twenty minutes later he was feeling slightly better. Knowing is was 9.30 at night. He was wondering on whether it was too late to call his wife at his sisters.
Loreile was sitting up in bed reading on the laptop going over the two chapters she had written for her publisher. She was beginning to feel tired after eating a big meal that her sister had made with Meatloaf, mash potatoes, string beans, rye bread and a large salad.
Her cell phone was sitting on the side of her on the queen size bed. When she felt it vibrating showing Jethro's name on the screen. She needed to talk with him anyways after the lie she told to Tobias Fornell.
"Hey! How are you, Jethro?" She was going to be rough on him with not liking the idea of his.
"How do you think Loreile? I had a stress attack earlier for when Tobias showed up at the house to discuss Hernandez. Why in the hell did you lie to Tobias about us divorcing?" He was pissed off with even mentioning of the word...
"I thought it will be a good idea to make him think otherwise. I bet he really went off the wall with you over it?" She said with some slight sarcasm in her tone.
"He did and why the panic attack in my chest." He said calmly.
"Jesus Jethro, you need to stop with all of this nonsense and try to take it easy. Anyway I will continue to work with you on this along with the lies to all of our friends." She shifted in bed wanting to kiss him badly and feel secure against his chest.
"As long as no one finds out the truth and including Hernandez and his associates Loreile."
"I agree. I will let you go now and let you rest. Were you able to take your pills to help with the anxiety stress in your chest?" She was worried as always for when it came to her husband.
"I did and I will be trying to sleep on the couch without you." He shifted his words feeling bad about all this mess. "Love you, and take care of yourself Loreile." He ended the call to place the phone onto the coffee table turning it off for the rest of the evening.
Meanwhile Loreile moved out of the bedroom of her sister's house to head downstairs. Elizabeth was sitting at the kitchen table having a piece of apple pie. David was sitting in the living room watching the local news and the world on what's been going on.
"Sis how's the apple pie?" She said in a tone that had her sister stopping eating her apple pie.
"What's wrong Loreile?" She said with getting up to pull out the chair for her.
"Life in general as with my so call marriage with Special Agent Gibbs." She replied...
David had gotten into the conversation with saying..."Remember that the both of you decided to go through with this plan and you should be sticking by it until the end?" He commented...
"How well I know David! It's just hard to be away from my husband when he needs me the most during this crisis. However if it is going to catch Hernandez in the process I am all for it. But this is killing me with Jethro losing out with watching the delivery of the baby soon."
"We all have to make sacrifices Loreile so suck it up for now." David was being cruel with his words and Elizabeth screamed at him for having to be insensitive with his words towards her sister.
