Fading Memories

Chapter Nine

"Alright Cyril I will give the permission. But I must tell you that I am really scared that this procedure is going to kill him instead of a bullet by his enemies."

"Look Loreile I completely understand. I am scared all of the time with my eldest Son Jarrod joining the Metro Police as a Lt. stationed near the Capital. He keeps telling me that he loves the job. Even though his wife Susie had been worried during the past two years.

"I had though you had only one son besides Jarrod?" She asked just to be sure...

"Catherine and I wanted to protect Jarrod. Though I did mention it to Jethro. I did asked him to not say anything to you. But now you know. I will show you a picture of him on the phone.

"My god he's handsome as hell Cyril. Do they have any children?" Loreile responded...

"A boy name Daniel a year old. So I am a grandfather of all things." he said with pride. "Okay I will let the two specialists Doctor Rolaids and Doctor Robertson to set up the operating to get started with the laser." Taft said to have Loreile quiet for a moment.

"Do your best as I said earlier to save my husband no matter where he might be either in the future, present or past. It's a damn shame that this man Wendell Corey was the one to have shot my husband to have him fall into the metal plate."

"I know. I must be leaving to the hospital. Why don't you come with me now and have your protection detail to watch over Shane and Nathan?" he asked with Loreile agreeing to the operation.

"Let me grab my go bag that I keep upstairs in the bedroom. While I let Alicia know what is going on.

Bethesda hospital

Doctors Rolaids and Robertson had called all the operating staff to be ready with the procedure on patient Leroy Jethro Gibbs age 69 years of age NCIS supervisory agent for his team.

Loreile will be able to watch everything from the observation nose up above with the other students, doctors, nurses and even the manager/director of the surgery division. It was filled to be watching a new procedure with everyone to learn and watch the two doctors to be working on an area of a brain that involves with the long and short memories.

Gibbs had been prepped with his heart rate, blood pressure and other vitals in case of issues. Blood is type AB NEGATIVE is being pumped into his veins since the brain will be opened once the laser enters the main area of the cortex.

The anesthesia specialist had placed the special breathing mask over Gibbs face to breath. Though if there is a problem the machines will be picking it up as with his heart or brain.

Doctor Cyril Taft will be behind them watching everything that goes on with the two surgeons working in tantrum.

They began with asking on whether it everyone was ready with the operation. There had to be total quiet both in the observation nose and in the operating room in order to completely concentrate with burning out the damage cells of his long and short term memories.

Using his special goggles to see where the laser was heading while Doctor Robertson was giving him directions of where to hit entering the main section. He will hit the laser four times while waiting to see if any of the damages had been burnt out.

Taking a deep breath. Doctor Rolaids asked Taft to please wipe his brow in order to concentrate and see the screen. However Doctor Robertson needed to take over since she had the better eye. He didn't complain about this with placing on the goggles.

Getting set herself with looking up at the screen. She was now set to work with the laser. Finding the correct area, she had found it with pressing the button with the blue laser entering into his brain to burnout the small tumor of the cortex.

She pressed one more time zapping the last of the tumor with checking for any other damage areas of his long and short term memories.

"That's it everyone. We will know in eight hours once the patient wakes on whether his memories are in tact." she cried with a generous amount of clapping along with Loreile taking a deep breath hoping that her husband will be alright.

She had gotten up to wait for Taft coming into the waiting room to find out on whether she will be able to stay in the unit for now.

However it was not to be when she was told by Cyril that it was going to be eight hours before he wakes. This was going to be a good time to go home and rest. Even though she knows that Shane and Nathan will be anxious to know about their father.
