The beginnings of a new life

Chapter 107th

"No problem Daddy. We will be back tomorrow. We are going to be heading out for dinner." she said...

"Wait a minute. Why don't I call for Chinese food for everyone. I can have call my favorite Chinese restaurant and have it delivered to this room?" Loreile had to say with a group of thrilled people hungry. "Does it matter in what I order for everyone?"

Unison..."Nope!" Especially with Kelly starved as with her husband James always love Chinese.

"Well then I will call for enough for everyone and it's my treat." she will say to the group.

Pulling out her cell-phone from her purse. Loreile brought up the number onto the screen to press for the connection.

While Kelly came over to her father to talk. "Daddy have you ever thought about retirement?" She asked even though that he really didn't have to answer the question.

"During the past three years. If and when I do semi retire. Director Leon Vance had asked me to make things easy for me to work at the Academy as a teacher and the gun range three days a week and on occasion working a OFF THE BOOKS operation." he said that no one accept for Loreile understood.

"I don't understand daddy please explain?" she asked with a curious look on her face.

"Operations not official mostly. I have been on a number of them for where it did involved everyone of those god damn Cartel leaders." he cried out with anger...

"Who is the latest Cartel leader Jethro?" Shannona asked the question with speaking up finally.

"He works out of Somalia, Paraguay named Samuels Alexandria Alvarez a real bastard like all of the others and no doubt related as well. He's out to get even against me with killing Jose Juan Hernandez and one other here in the states."

"So you're having the share of misery with them as with your own NCIS cases?" Shannon replied...

"You can say that Shannon." Gibbs says with watching Loreile hanging up on the phone.

"Okay everyone the Chinese food will be here in forty minutes and with an escort up to this room." Loreile needed to say on the order.

At this particular moment there was another knock on the door when Doctor Cyril Taft walked in to see the group.

"Gibbs what's all this with the visitors?" Being his usual self with the question.

"Doc I want you to meet Kelly Gibbs Hawkins my daughter with her husband Colonel James Hawkins of the Witness Protection Program. And than there is Shannon Fielding Gibbs Anderson and her husband Alex Anderson of the Navy in California." Gibbs needed to say...

"I don't understand Gibbs? I had thought that Kelly and Shannon were killed a long time ago by the Cartel?" he commented...

"Shannon had found out about the threat to be killed by the Cartel and contacted the Witness Protection Program to pull them out into a compound safe house in Italy for 24 years until they were released to start an all new life for the better of 10 plus years." Gibbs responded...

"Wow! That is truly amazing."

"Doc are you staying? Loreile had ordered a ton of Chinese food." Gibbs asked his friend with the look on his face.

"I assume that is a yes with the Chinese food?" Gibbs says...

"Correct Cowboy! When the food arrives why don't we move this to the lounge area to eat. Gibbs I will put you in a wheelchair so that you can enjoy the food and your visitors." he state with the shake of his head over the situation. "Let me this set up letting the nurses station knowing just what is going on." He walked out to set things up...

"It seems that he knows his job really well. When did he come back to the hospital after serving on the Daniel Webster?" Shannon asked with the importance of the question.

"Three years ago and it's been full of fun for when ever I had gotten injured or almost killed on the job." Gibbs quipped with his demeanor.

"Daddy I know this is none of my business. You need to slow down for god sake before getting killed for sure?" she came over to hold her father's hand.

"Tell me about it Kelly! I have trying to drum that into head ever since I first met him at the SECNAV celebration a little over three years ago."

"Is this where you had met my father?" Kelly asked with a curious look on her face..

"Actually we met in this very same hospital recovering from when I was in Paraguay for the third time at the hands of Jose Juan Hernandez. I was in the hospital being rehabbed by her for almost a month and then another two weeks at the house before she left for California for two weeks working for the Evergreen safe house here located at the fringe of Alexandria, Virginia." Gibbs said with a smile...

"Truly amazing daddy. When did you know when you were in love with Lt. Loreile Ann Baskins? If you don't mind me asking with the question? Kelly said with her father and Loreile blushing slightly.

A month maybe until it hit me full bloom into my face."

"Interesting! I believe Jethro and I had fallen in love at the Stillwater train station for when we young. I met him while he wearing his Marine Uniform heading for camp." Shannon replied...

Doctor Cyril Taft had come back in to tell them that the delivery person is on the way up with the escort and the lounge area now ready.

"Wonderful!" Gibbs responded with his wheelchair to be brought in once everyone had cleared out to wait out into the corridor. "Thanks doc for everything?" he said...

"By the way I am going to release you tomorrow so that you're able to spend time with your family. Okay?"

"Great Doc! I know my daughter Kelly is going to like the idea before she goes back to Orlando, Florida." Gibbs said with the wheelchair coming in with the nurse pushing it.
