The beginnings of a new life

Chapter 47th

It was the next day that the doctors had agreed that Special Agent Gibbs was strong enough to fly back home on the transport plane that will take 12 hours total to land in Dulles International airport.

Director Leon Vance was given the word to have his team ready to leave with packing up. While most or all of the marines and seals had left on another transportation. Nick Torres, Timothy McGee and Lt. James Brown was going to be happy to be leaving finally in two hours with Special Agent Gibbs to be brought abroad with precautions to help keep him strapped up with his stretcher, wires and other equipment to keep tabs of his vitals.

Vance and McGee was waiting for Torres and Lt. Brown to arrive with Gibbs and his doctors now abroad with the pilots ready to take off in ten minutes. Finally they arrived with catching their breaths carrying this gear. All of them were glad to leave Paraguay behind and head for home.

Leon had sent a quick email message to Loreile in order to let her know they were heading home with taking off in ten minutes.

Doctor Cyril Taft was worried that they were going to have a problem with the flight and with Gibbs having to be on the transport a long time. Vance came over to Taft inside the main sector for where Gibbs is located. "Everyone is on board now."

"Good. I can't wait to get home and get this man into a proper hospital like Bethesda. I am afraid Jethro is going to be needing a great deal of help and I hope to god that Loreile will try to support him with his problems?" Taft needed to say with the pilot telling everyone to hold on with the takeoff on the runway. Taft, Gilbert and Silverton was watching for any issues with the take off. While Vance waited to finished up with his words.

"To answer your question Cyril. I think that Loreile is under a great deal of stress caused by Jethro coming to Paraguay to be extremely injured."

"However I know for a fact that any wife to be pushed into a corner will make a self preservation to save herself and her life in general. Loreile whats to do this with already mentioning to Gibbs that she wants out from it." Cyril said...

"That might be true Doctor Taft. However now that Gibbs is going to be home soon and placed into Bethesda. She just might changed her mind." Vance will say about his friend of many years.

"Do you think she will Leon?" Cyril Taft asked the all important question.

"Maybe! However there are a number of factors. Any woman in their right mind need to think long and hard for when it comes to a happy marriage in general. And in every case sex is the key issue for a happy marriage."

"Can I ask you a personal question for when your son Paul died? When did you and Catherine get back to having sex again with the death of your son?"

"Almost a year. And believe me I was able to once again after suffering with all of the pain of his lost. As with my wife feeling better...And Gibbs with his mental state is not going to get him to lost that with needing to push himself to live again." Taft had to say for the most part...

"I know Gibbs for many years. He has always had a persona that was always strong no matter how many times he was shot by a suspect. He always came back stronger than ever with his obsession of his job." Vance had to say on the subject of his friend.

"Obsession is not a good thing Leon. This has to stop before he actually kills himself. Even though Hernandez had come close." Taft said...

"Listen I have something to say and I don't want you to mention this to anyone Cyril. For the past year the DOD had sent in two undercover agents to work with the Hernandez regime. It's coming close for when the two undercover agents will get their chance to kill Hernandez when the time is right. These two agents are taking all kinds of chances with their lives." Vance responded with Taft shaking his head.

"Does Jethro know this at all Director?" Taft was anxious to know and angry at the same time.

"No he doesn't and I have no plans on telling him or anyone else of his team. Hopefully soon we will get the word that Hernandez had been taken out for good and be rid of this terrorist. And set Gibbs mind at ease finally."

"And do you really think that it will set his mind at ease Leon?" Taft cried out with the question.

"No. And Loreile won't be able to help either." Vance responded...

After landing in Hawaii after eight hours of flying. Everyone was on edge with taking a break with moving out of the transport plane while it was being refueled to take two hours. Otherwise the doctors were giving Gibbs the once over inside with finding that his vitals were raising again to be the best news. Though they will still have four hours to go with the flight.

It was nighttime currently and everyone was offered a quick snack at the mess hall of the airfield. The air was warm even though nothing like Paraguay with the heat and humidity.

Doctor Taft walked over to the makeshift mess hall to take a break to sit down next to the NCIS agents sitting in silence hungry and tire. Taft pulled off his cap along with removing his glasses to clean them. He felt dirty and needed a proper bed to sleep in.

However the agents had asked him on how Gibbs was doing in general.

"Better than expected gentlemen. I am hoping that it stays that way with the rest of the trip." As he had gotten up to pick the items from the trays packed with hot food. He was in the mood for scrambled eggs, toast, bacon and most of all his coffee to keep him awake.
