The beginnings of a new life

Chapter 104th

While Leroy Jethro Gibbs had been worked on in the operating room. There was a woman with dark hair watching in the gallery posing as a first year resident needing too watch the workings of the laser on the agent.

She had heard from a source of hers that Gibbs was being operated after being shot into the stomach by a murder suspect. After the operation was over she walked out to change quickly with needing to make a phone call to her mother at the Marriott hotel on the outskirts of Alexandria, Virginia.

What she didn't realize when she walked into the elevator to meet up with the one woman that was her father's wife Loreile. Nothing had been said with the both ladies as Loreile was arriving to check on her husband and the dark hair woman to head for the hotel for now. She was going to be coming back no mater what her mother and her own husband has to say on the subject.

She had requested this with the Witness protection Program to make contact with her father after 34 years. Though they were now free of the Cartel and with having been declared dead.

She left the hospital to drive back to the hotel...

Loreile had been waiting for her husband to wake. However she had been thinking about the dark hair woman that she seen in the elevator arriving from the safe house with the exchange.

Sitting down to wait...She heard a slight moan escaping from Jethro's mouth. She had gotten up to hold his hand feeling warm to the touch. "Jethro can you hear me it's Loreile here with you in the hospital?" she watched for any type of reaction with his mouth or eyes...

However there was a number of eye movements with his eyes beginning to flutter trying to opened. She needed to try and coax him with waking like she always does.

"Come on Gibbs, you can do it?" calling him by his last name and hers.

This time he woke fully with trying to speak with his throat dry needing some type of ice chips to make him feeling better. Loreile checked the grey small water pitcher on whether there were any ice chips and there were. SHE OPENED THE TOP OF THE PITCHER WITH GRABBING A CUP WITH PLACING SOME OF THEM INSIDE.

She had placed one of them to his lips to have him suck on for now. She wasn't able to see anywhere his medical chart to read.

"Thanks." he croaked out with mouth.

"No problem Jethro. You're going to be alright with both of your doctors to save your life with using the laser on you."

"How long have I been here?" he said with trying to rub his eyes this time with his hands.

"Maybe an hour here in ICU before removing you from recovery. I left the safe house once I had gotten the word about the shooting. Alicia is watching both of the boys. They don't know that you were hurt again."

"Those boys have been though a lot?" Gibbs had to say with Loreile placing more ice chips into his mouth.

"I will agree with your question baby. I suggest that you try and sleep now. While I take a break and rest with one of the quarters that Doctor Taft had set up. I will be back at seven o'clock in four hours."

"Loreile I am so sorry this had to happened again with me getting hurt in the process?" he commented with taking hold of her right hand.

She kissed him before taking the elevator to the sixth floor this time for where the quarters were located. When she reached the elevator a dark hair woman bumping into her with saying the following...

"I am so sorry ma'am?" she said to Loreile as she looked back twice before pushing the button to head down.

But in the meantime with her pass as well. The dark hair woman was able to find Special Agent Gibbs room. She knocked on the door with this being the second time in one day. She walked in to have Gibbs just getting ready to try and sleep.

When he had noticed that this was the same woman that walked in earlier telling him about making a mistake. For some reason Gibbs continued to stare at the woman thinking that he might know the woman.

"Did you make another mistake?" Gibbs needed to say with the question.

"Not this time daddy?" she said to shock him with the response.

"Excuse me just who the hell are you?" he cried out to the woman.

"I am Kelly Gibbs Hawkins. I am married to Colonel James Hawkins for the past ten years of the Witness Protection Program. Daddy I have been with them for 34 years before the car crash happened with mommy calling them with their help finding out about the Cartel to go after us."

"Shannon is alive as well Kelly?" he croaked out with his emotional response...

"Yes, she is fine. She is married to a contractor Alex Anderson for the Navy in California, while I live in Orlando, Florida with our two boys. So you're a grandfather?" she cried...

"So where have you and mommy have been hiding?" he commented with his heart rate jumping as with his blood pressure.

"Calbre, Italy in a compound for where there were many others like us.

"I just can't believe this Kelly? And you just miss my wife Loreile?" he said...

"I know. I bumped into her coming out of the elevator..." she replied..."She had the feeling as if she had seen me before daddy. And I am sorry for doing this. I told mother that I wanted to make contact with you having heard what had happened to you. I am going to be heading back to Florida in four days. We are staying at the Marriott hotel near your house. We can come see you later on at 7 o'clock after you're able to rest. Maybe we will get lucky to meet officially with your wife Loreile?" she will say to her father.
