Dark Void
Chapter 74th
Gibbs placing everything away of his tools and sander. He found a box to have the Chickadee five until Taft comes to pick it up. He was proud to finally had finished the model boat. Putting down the goggles and with cleaning his hands.
Afterwards he headed upstairs to wait for the Chinese food to arrive. Just when he was at the top of the stairs of the basement. He had all of a sudden a flashback...
He was running away from the soldiers in the compound after one of the slave women found a way to get me out. He had nowhere to go once he had gotten out of the cell with her help. Unless it was some type of a rouse.
Stopping a moment in order to catch his breath with the temperature hot and humidity. He had no clothes on after the beatings and sexual attacks he had taken from Hernandez. Looking for a way out. All of a sudden he's hit into the back of the neck by a blow dart from someone. He wasn't able to see the person.
However it was Virginia standing next to Hernandez and Riccio smiling away..."Take him back to my office and prepare the Dungeon?" Hernandez said with Riccio following his orders and lead."
Coming back to reality. He needed to talk to Loreile about it after the food. Walking out shaken slightly. He headed for the living room with Loreile looking up from the computer terminal. "Are you alright? You're looking ashton Jethro?" she said with placing the cover down before saving her work on the screen.
"Sure I am fine. Why shouldn't I be after spending two long months in the hospital listening to all of the nurses and doctors?" he stated and Loreile saying the following...
"Along with the endless sponge baths that you loved a great deal." she joked and he wasn't too pleased with the comment.
"How I wished it was you, Loreile and with finding out later that I was healing down below. I was being pig headed like always for when it comes to my own body." he responded with Loreile worried knowing better that her husband was lying about something.
After the Chinese food had arrived with the clean up. Loreile was going to asked him what is going on..."Okay did something happened earlier Jethro?" She was sitting across from him at the table as he moves off to sit down on the couch getting comfortable with his knee swelling and Loreile having to grabbed the ice packed.
"I really don't don't what happened. I was finished with the work downstairs and I walked up the steps. When all of a sudden I had a flashback of' me running or trying to get away with help from a female slave. However I had to stop for a moment to catch my breath with the humidity and heat. When all of a sudden I felt some sort of a blow dart hitting the back of neck with passing out. And before you asked me, it was Virginia, Hernandez and Riccio."
"Wow! I wonder what it means Jethro?" she was concerned for the most part.
"Anyway when I get the chance I will need to discuss it with Doctor Confalone or Doctor Sterling about it. But in the meantime I will help you with the dishes and than afterwards we are going to get dress and head for the beach for a few hours with swimming and anything else that comes along our way." he responded with moving up from the couch to help clean away the mess. While Loreile was being cautious with the situation and her husband's mental state.
Sometime later at the beach near them some 20 minutes away...It was a nude beach and the very same one for where they had their first real date during the celebration for SECNAV.
Finding the perfect parking spot over by the rocks and where rats had been located on occasion during the night.
There wasn't a soul around for the moment as Gibbs had removed his clothing placing them onto the large white towel. Loreile was watching her husband actually run to the calm waters at six o'clock at night. She chuckling at herself with seeing that he had lost a great deal of weight for when he was in Paraguay and in the hospital for two months.
She wasn't going to wait until she was ready to go into the fifty degree waters. Meanwhile Leroy Jethro Gibbs in such a long time was enjoying himself free of the demons that he had faced over the years.
Loreile was happy in a big way that their marriage wasn't on the brink of being destroyed again. There was just too much love between the both of them to lose everything again like she did with her husband David and Elizabeth. However for her husband it was along time ago with the lost of Shannon and Kelly.
Over the years he had suffered great lost with Mike Franks, Diane Sterling and many more...She sat there as he was taking the laps into the deeper part of the ocean and the waters were calm for a change and the tide had come in instead of going out...
Deciding to head in with dipping her toe first. Her husband had called out to her to come in already or he was going to come and get her...
Once she had gotten in without having to touch the bottom a pet peeve of hers. She made it out towards him with using her arms and feet having to be an excellent swimmer in spite the fact she was in her ninth month of pregnancy.
"It's great Loreile!" he announced with moving in close to her to give a quick kiss ..."Race you back to the beach?" he acted like a giddy 69 year old child for the most part.
