Dark Void
Chapter 87th
Loreile was sitting next to Tim in the Avis rent a car vehicle quiet and pissed off at her husband again for taking the risks of getting shot again and this time it did happened.
Watching the landscape with Tim driving. He had mention that the hospital that it wasn't all that far from the airport.
"Did Doctor Taft have to say on how long Jethro is going to be staying in the hospital since his condition is stable? While Shane was in the back with Alicia half asleep from the flight and late evening.
"No he didn't Loreile. It's all up to boss on whether he's able to recover from the two wounds and the possible chance of a heart attack. Taft and the other doctors were worried about this mostly because of his age."
"How far is the motel? The reason I asked is to have these two in the back dropped off at the motel in order to get some rest." Loreile makes mention and with a groan in the back.
"Not far. I will head there first since I do have the keys and the management does know that you're going to be staying there as with Alicia and Shane." Tim said...
Sometime later...At the motel.
Tim opened the door for where Madeline was staying so that she will be staying at the hospital for now. Alicia walked in with Shane and his carriage along their things. While Loreile dropped off her things in Gibbs room a mess as always when he's alone.
And before long they were off and running once more with the drive to the hospital. Doctor Taft was standing by the nurses station of ICU When he noticed the elevator door opening with Tim and Loreile coming out.
He had waved them to come to the nurses station in order to speak with Loreile. "How's my husband Cyril?" she needed to know with the importance of the question.
"He's holding on Loreile. I suspect that very soon he's going to be waking up from the surgery to repair and remove the bullet from his right shoulder and upper thigh of his left leg. He's going to be needing the usual physical therapy before going home."
"That's is what I needed to know. I won't be able to stay for long with Shane here as with Alicia. Maybe three days Cyril. However is it possible I can see my husband now?" she commented...
"I will take you to him. Tim your team just left to go home with calling for a cab to take them to the motel you're staying at to get some sleep."
"I can do the same with leaving Loreile while I head back to the motel and get some sleep. Will you be alright Loreile?"
"I will be Tim. If I need to sleep I can always sleep in his room for a few hours before checking in with Alicia."
Tim leaves while Taft walks her down to the ICU area for where her husband is in a private unit for privacy.
She was a nervous wreck with walking in the private room with her husband hooked up to all types of tubes in and out of his body. She pulled up a chair to be close to him as possible with holding his hand. For which was warmer this time unlike the last time with having to stayed in the hospital for two months.
She started to talk to him. "You know something this is getting to be too much of late Jethro. How much more can we take with the new year?" She needed to take in a deep breath into her lungs with being exhausted for the most part.
She was looking up at the computer up above to tell her his vitals seeming to be stable. His color wasn't as Aston like before for which was a good sign.
She heard a noise all of a sudden when Taft had mention that her husband might be waking any moment from the operation. He moaned again with opening his eyes partially with those crystal blue eyes of him.
Until finally he opened them completely. "Welcome back to the land of OZ!" she commented.
Talking softly with his throat dry. "Then I am in the movie the Wizard of Oz?" he cried out asking for some water with her throat dry.
"Sure any time Jethro." She had gotten up to grab the water container to pour him some cold water to drink. She had noticed his medical file on the front of the bed to read since she is able to understand the medical jargon.
"Where are my children?" he was barely able to get the question out.
"Home with Alicia to be taking take of care for a few days Jethro. Don't worry Shane and Nathan are in good hands." she gave him a kiss on his lips for which he was able to accept without making a comment about it.
"That was very nice Loreile. Did you get my message from Madeline?" he responded with closing his eyes with being exhausted and with the heavy dosage of pain medication in his system.
"I received the message instead of from McGee now knowing the truth of you getting shot from Riccio." she said calmly.
"Are they dead? I passed out at the time the last shot hit my left thigh and the pain I suffered from it."
"Yeah. They're dead for sure with Madeline blowing out their brains and not bothering too check their bodies and leaving them in the field."
"You do know that Damon is going to be coming after me with hiring again snipers to finished the job once more Loreile?"
"How well I know it Jethro. Right now you will need to take it easy for now and recover once again. Hopefully Doctor Cyril Taft won't have to keep you in the hospital for long?"
"I hope not! I just can't be idle too long with the threat over my head right now." he closed his eyes as Loreile relaxed with finding a better chair to try and sleep a little.
