Beginnings of a new life
Chapter 48th
Director Leon Vance finished up with his Turkey Club sandwich along with his coffee to be feeling better. They still had time before heading back to the transport plane. He was going to try and call Loreile back in the states even though it was going to late in the evening. But know Loreile and her sleeping habits of late. She was probably going to be up with the nanny and Shane.
Taking out his cell phone from his fatigues pocket. He brought up the number to push the send button and waited...
Actually she was awake at 5.30 a.m. in the morning with Shane being somewhat fussy. And Madeline was trying to calm him down. So Loreile holding her son was able to get her son back to sleep after changing and feeding him.
While Madeline went back to sleep for a few more hours. She had a report to be sent off to the DOD on the protection detail of protecting Loreile and Shane.
Meanwhile Loreile was now in the kitchen having to be making herself breakfast. When she heard the cell-phone go off sitting on the table. She had turned off the stove with the bacon for now. She moved to pick up the phone to be Director Leon Vance.
"leon I am surprising you're calling me. Is there something wrong?" She asked with sitting down on the chair.
"Nothing is wrong. We landed in Hawaii and will be taking off soon again Loreile. Your husband is still hanging on with his vitals improving by the hour. I needed to call you to find out how you're doing." He had to asked with the question standing while turning to see the other agents feeding their faces from the food trays as if it was their last meal.
"I am doing better Leon. I just need to have this nightmare over and get on with our lives for god sake?" She stated with slight annoyance in her tone of voice.
"I know what you mean Loreile. Everybody's life has been turned upside down with Gibbs having been rescued. Even the doctors were shocked for when they they had first examined his body and the amount of damage that was done to his body." Vance exhaled with his words.
"Does the doctors think that their might be some brain damage at all?" This was the one questions besides the others for when it comes to her husband.
"They won't know for sure until that are able to run the number of tests for when they get him back to Bethesda hospital. Along with the fact on what exactly was done to Gibbs. Since a number of the eyewitnesses had stated that Gibbs was removed and placed into different locations. It's going to be up to Gibbs, Doctor Grace and the rest of the doctors to find the answers."
"Let's hope so Leon. Because I have a feeling Jethro is not going to be telling me being embarrassed." She replied over the phone.
"Gibbs has never been that way Loreile with his job for over 30 years. However this will change with trying to hide his pain from everyone and including yourself. Listen I just needed to contact you that we will be heading back out soon. I will be sure to send a quick text to let you know when we will be landing at Dulles International airport. Take care and hope to see you soon as with the others."
"Thanks for calling Leon. I highly appreciate it greatly. Goodbye." She said with the connection ending and with her feeling lonely again.

Exactly five hours later with receiving the text from Vance. She had advised Madeline that she was going to meet the flight at Dulles International airport. I will be gone probably most of the day. Please be sure to keep updated on Shane. Since I will be checking in every few hours. I will need to pack a overnight bag in case I will be staying overnight."
"You need to do what is important to save your marriage and your husband. I will send a text every couple of hours. So there is nothing to worry about Loreile." She stated with turning to face Shane in the cradle of the nursery. This cradle was the secord that Gibbs had built. While the first was Kelly's until he had given it to Nick and Eleanor for their son Dane Nicholas Torres born only a month prior.
Loreile headed into the bedroom to pack quickly before taking his truck having been used the past few days. Placing the overnight bag into the back. She had made sure she had her essentials with her revolver, I.D. badge, and other types of I.D. when even she is stopped by any type of police officer.
The transport plane was going to be landing in 35 minutes and was going to be moving fast with arriving at the airport freight area with showing her I.D. and explaining her story to the security officer and with be waving on to the terminal.
She was able to see the ambulance at the entrance to take her injured husband to the Bethesda hospital. She was very anxious when she saw the NCIS agents looking exhausted wearing their green fatigues.
Doctor Taft, Doctor Gilbert and Silverton saw Loreile walking over to them explaining that her was coming out of the forced Coma will be able to sit with him once they are able to run the tests on him.
She was shaking her head at hearing this news after worrying that he might be able to come out of it. Leon told Loreile that everyone was going home to get some rest before coming back to work with their reports.
"Are you coming to the hospital Leon?" She needed to asked with the all important question.
"I am going home to shower and pick up something to eat before coming to the hospital. I don't know what the others will be doing. But I think it will good for you to talk with Torres having witness seeing Gibbs hanging upside down and his general condition. He needed to speak with a Doctor Hanson of the Paraguay marine base to discuss his feelings as with myself. So Loreile asked the doctors on whether you're able to ride with your husband?"
"Thank you, I will." Loreile said with placing a hand on his shoulder.
