Fading Memories
Chapter 11th
Director Leon Vance needed a vacation with all that has been goin on lately with all of his agents and including Special Agent Gibbs. Now he had been put on hold for a moment. He needed too wait for a moment with contacting the Witness Protection Program regional Office...
"Hello this is Colonel Lawrence Jones How can I help you, Director Vance?' he asked from his office after being in meetings most of the day. He really needed to head home. However it wasn't to be now with the call."
Director Leon Vance was able to explain the situation to him with needing his agents to come and pick up a new client and with a flight to the Tombstone, Arizona safe house. "Lawrence his life is in grave danger if his so-call friends find out that he spoke with NCIS?" he says...
"I completely understand Leon and I will grant it. The paperwork will need to be signed when they arrive within the next few hours. The flight will be set up in order for the agents to be able to protect him. By the way how is Special Agent Gibbs doing?" he asked with the importance of the question.
"I have no idea right now. My agent currently is in surgery with the doctors using a new laser device for the patient. Hopefully it will be able to work and have my agent back to normal." Vance needed to say on the subject.
"Is this the same client you spoke about shooting Gibbs to have him fall into the metal plate?" Jones responded.
"Yes, it was. I will be signing the paperwork in order to release Corey to your agents once they arrived. Thank you Lawrence for your cooperation?" Vance said calmly needing to call the hospital to find out.

Doctor Rolaids, Robertson and Taft were very pleased with the results now that Leroy Jethro Gibbs was placed into ICU. While Loreile had been told that her husband wasn't going to wake up for eight hours at least. So she had told her friends to do the same with going home. The hospital and Doctor Taft had set up quarters for her to stay having brought her go bag. These quarters having been provided were mostly because there were five other physicians now currently off duty on a three day turn around or on vacation.
She was exhausted. But she needed to call Alicia at the house having been taking care of Shane and Nathan with their father once again in the hospital. Pulling out her cell phone from her jacket to call her. She was sitting on the edge of the bed with her sandals off and her feet swelling from the pregnancy.
Alicia was sitting downstairs watching TV with Shane and Nathan asleep upstairs. She was watching one of her favorite SCI FI movies THIS ISLAND EARTH along with Forbidden Planet and The day the earth stood still. She had her cell phone sitting next to her while munching on popcorn.
This is when the phone rang with seeing it's Loreile calling with an update. "Loreile how is Jethro doing?" It was the one question she needed to know about.
"Jethro made it through the operation with the doctors to burn out the tumor and swelling of his long and short term memories. We will know in eight hours when he wakes on whether his memories are in tact." Loreile responded with the intel in regard to her husband.
"Thank goodness. By the way the boys are okay considered. They were able to wake up once earlier before going back to bed. I haven't said anything to them in regard to their father." she replied with taking a sip of her diet cola.
"Thank you, Alicia. I will call you when I wake up later with everyone leaving the hospital to go home and rest as well. Good night."
She laid now on the double bed with her stomach upset slightly. Mostly because of the baby active. It's a dam shame that the father isn't around to feel it right now. She placed the blue colored blankets over her with covering them up to her shoulders. There was a slight chill into the air...

One of the change of shift nurses sometime later noticed the change in the patient as if he was going to wake soon. R.N. Dottie Cook made a note of it with the medical chart while checking the numbers for his blood pressure having changed to be almost normal for this particular patient as with his heart rate and oxygen levels.
She walked out checking the time to be almost 6.30 a.m. in the morning about time he will be waking up.
Reaching the quarters for which Mrs. Gibbs was resting waiting for her husband to wake. She had the orders from the doctors that had worked on her husband some eight plus hours ago.
Loriele had heard the knock on the door with her getting up quickly with placing on her purple robe and slippers with the floor cold. She was a mess at the moment with her hair flying every which way with her sleep. "Yes, who is it?" she asked the question.
"R.N. Dottie Cooke I am to tell you that your husband is going to be waking really soon." she said...
"I will get dressed and ready as soon as I can Miss Cook. Thank you." Loreile needed to get dress with picking out her black maternity slacks and long sleeve blouse with brushing her hair before placing it into a bun. She had thrown some cold water onto her face with placing very little makeup on accept for dark pink lipstick.
She placed on her black sandals for comfort before grabbing her purse and the key to the quarters. She walked out needing to eat. But she was able to wait afterwards.
Walking to his ICU room. She was scared to walk in not really what was going to happened with his memories having to be intact.
