The beginnings of a new life

Chapter 80th

Auriel was glad she made it to the airport in record time. She stopped at the security area to have her bags checked along with her revolver showing her permit and license for the most part.

Afterwards she asked for when the next flight was for American Airlines to Washington, D.C.

The young female attendant behind the counter checked the computer for flight 4581 to D.C.
will be leaving in 40 minutes.

"Wonderful! How much is the ticket ma'am?" Auriol needed to know since she did have plenty of money on her in the first place.

"$250.00 one way. How would you like to pay for the flight?' she asked with seeing the woman pulling out twenty dollar bills to pay for the flight asking for a receipt.

After a moment the ticket popped up as with the receipt. "Your flight is leaving at terminal A which is not far from here. So good luck."

"Thank you so much for your help." she responded with a tired smile with dropping off her bags at the baggage claim to have the workers to place her bags onto the plane before taking off.

Director Vance had been notified of the situation for when he walked into his office very early morning. When his secretary the other Melanie telling him that Senator Stephen Hill called with asking for him to call him back as soon as possible.

"I will call him, Melanie." he said gruffly with his tired expression ...He walked into his office with leaving his coat back onto the rack as with his hat and gloves to match.

Dialing the number in his contacts with his cell phone. He pushed the button in order to make the connection...

Senator Stephen Hill was sitting in his office drinking coffee waiting for Director Leon Vance to call him. When his cell went off sitting on the oak table. Hill cursed to himself for a brief moment hopefully thinking for the best and it was Director Vance.

"Leon how are you this morning?" he asked knowing for the fact that his friend hasn't gotten much rest of late.

"Stop with the question about my health?" he cried out with annoyance with his demeanor. "What's going on Stephen?" he asked with concerned with a yawn...

"I wanted to let you know that I received Intel from my undercover agent working with Damon. She is on her way back to Washington, D.C.. She has told me that Damon is going to be sending two of his goons to continue on with his quest to finish the job with Special Agent Gibbs. I have no idea when this is supposed to be taking place Leon?" he replied with a deep breath..

"So this means that Loreile and Gibbs needs to be told this information since she is here in Harrisburg having flown in to be with her husband."

"Christ! This is not a good thing at all Leon." he slammed his fist into the table to have the aged senator cry out for god sake.

"I will call McGee and Taft needing to moved Gibbs to another location for this nightmare actually happens again. Thanks Stephen for calling me I will take care of it here on my end." he stated...

"Good luck with that one." he hung up the phone to continue on with his work for the rest of his day.

Loreile was waiting for her husband to finally wake with hearing a slight moan coming from his mouth. She was alerted with sitting in the chair while holding onto his hand.

She began to tell her husband to try and open his beautiful crystal blue eyes that she loves a great deal. "Come on Jethro please open your eyes. It's Loreile it's your wife here once again with you." she cried out with deep emotion and with a tear falling from her eyes.

For a brief moment she really had thought that he was going to wake. However it actually happened moment slater as his eyes were opened. "Welcome back baby!" as she calls him as her pet names at times during stressed situations.

"Where am I Loreile?" he tries to speak with his throat dry as hell making it impossible to speak.

"Harrisburg medical center hospital. Madeline called for a helicopter to have you, Taft and Madeline flown to the hospital for where you were operated on." she responded with a kiss to his cheek...

"Throat dry...water ...please?" he said slowly with Loreile getting up to pour himself a small cup of cold water needing to be careful with all of the medications in his system to no doubt upset his stomach.

"Here you go. Drink it slowly Jethro." she said..

"When did you get here Loreile?" he had to asked looking at her dishevel appearance.

"Earlier. McGee was able to pick me up at the airport to have my things dropped off at the same motel you're staying at before coming here. I have no idea how long I am planning on staying depending on your health situation."

"I need to thank Madeline for saving my ass again with no doubt taking out both Riccio and Virginia. I don't have a clear idea with having passed out with seeing him coming after me and that's when it was "LIGHTS OUT"." he commented..

Loreile chuckled slightly with his comment. "I believe she is upset with having gone back to the motel to rest after what had happened. I believe it's been awhile since she has been in this kind of situation as an DOD undercover agent." she responded in her judgement...

"By the way did you say anything to Shane before leaving?" Gibbs said in regard to his son.

"No. I am leaving it up to Alicia to tell him. When I get back to the motel I am planning on sending her a text message giving her an update." she cried out..

"I do hope that he doesn't get upset too much just his mother at times?" he directed the question to her.

"What is that supposed to mean baby?" she hovered over him liked a cage tiger.
