Off The Hook

Chapter 16

It was the very next morning with Phineas smelling the bacon that Special Agent Sloane was cooking in the kitchen while her husband was starting the fireplace once again to get rid of the chill inside the living room.

Phineas had gone into the bathroom with his change of clothing. He had washed his face with the hot water and a white cloth he had found. Afterward with his stomach growling, he walked downstairs to see the table set for three.

He looked at the clock on the wall to be an old one at that telling him that he had plenty of time to eat before his aunt and mickey arrived back to the house to head back to Philly. Yes, he was hungry mostly and wanting to spend as much time with Gibbs before he had to leave. Though he will always be able to e-mail, face time and even using texting on his phone.

"It smells really good with the bacon Agent Sloane." He will say with sitting down next to Gibbs and his buddy recovering from his injuries.

"Everyone please come to the table with everything ready. Jethro take your time with the cane we don't need you to be falling getting to the table for breakfast." His wife will state with a crooked smile on her demeanor.

"Very funny Jack." As Phineas watched him walk over without any trouble at all. He was able to sit down in his chair while Sloane showed Phineas his seat before beginning to serve the scrambled eggs, potatoes, toast, back and including the coffee, orange juice. Even though for Phineas will be orange juice and water.

"Thanks, Everyone for me to stay here. Uncle George and Aunt Mickey were really upset when they had heard about you being hurt and of course myself. I am going to have a great deal to say to my friends for when I get back to Philly."

"Phineas there is something you should know. We have been talking with the real estate people to work on a deal with purchasing the same house across the street to have you back here and your aunt and uncle. They know about it Phineas with talking the real estate company."

"It's wonderful news, Jethro Gibbs! I won't have to feel alone all of the time now that I will be able to talk to you up close and play catch." Phineas will have to say with scooping up his eggs and drinking his juice.

As it had turned out breakfast was a huge success before his aunt and uncle arrived to drive back to Philly. Phineas was saddened even though glad as well with hugging Gibbs and Sloane before grabbing his things.

Gibbs watched his friend walk out the door as Jack could see that he was struggling. She looked at the time to get ready for work as promised. However, Leroy Jethro Gibbs stopped her standing behind the door for a deep passionate kiss before breaking it off.

"I will do the dishes, Jack, go get ready and I promise to be a good boy with trying to sleep some before going down into the basement to work." He slightly smirked.
