Cutting off the head of the snake
Chapter 39th
Loreile was walking behind the escort before walking into Gibbs's private room. She was able to hear all of the machinery with the computer up above with the vitals and heart rate. The lighting in the room was up high in order to see him fully with the color of his face Ashton for the most part.
She sat down on one of the chairs to relax with a deep breath into her lungs. While the escort had gone back to her own work inside the hospital.
Getting up to kiss him on the cheek with no air mask in the way. Since they figured he was breathing on his own.
But will his heart be alright as time goes by or will he want to be able to go back to work again at NCIS?
Moments later she saw his eyes fluttering open to surprise her. She had gotten up from the hospital chair to moved closer to him. "Jethro can you hear me. You're in ICU after being brought in by the ambulance." she will say to him with tears falling down his face.
No words were coming out of his mouth. But a moment later he said the following. "What happened to me?" he croaked out with his response.
"Shot in the chest Jethro at the casino. Your doctors were able to save your life with the surgery to remove the bullet fragments as Taft did for when Luke Harris had shot you," she said with tears as always.
"It's a no wonder there is this heaviness in my chest with the bandages. When I woke that first time when I was on the Daniel Webster and looking into the face of Taft and his mouth."
Loreile started to chuckled slightly. "The man saved your life Jethro as you should have to appreciate him more over the years?"
"Please don't start Loreile about Taft again. I have to worry about now being in this hospital." he cried out.
Speaking of which the one person that they had been talking about walked in after having his break. "What's going on here Leroy Jethro Gibbs?"
"He's being his usual self again with wanting to get out of the hospital Doc?" Loreile had to say to Gibbs surgeon.
"I don't know at the moment, everyone. Having been shot for a second time in the chest in a space of 5 plus years is a little too much I might add?" Taft had to say with removing his glasses to clean them before placing them back on his face.
"Who knew that I was going to get shot having to try and stop a male shooter having lost his shirt at the Blackjack tables?"
"And you had to be the one player has gotten in his way, Jethro? You're lucky my friend that I was able to remove all of the bullet fragments?" he cried out with taking a look at the medical chart with the nurses who had written the notes for him and the others.
"Am I going to be having the same pain like I had that last time?" Gibbs needed to say on the memory of Luke shooting him and falling onto the ground.
"That all depends Gibbs on whether you're going to finally take it easy. You need to after the stress you're been under the past few years and recently. No man nor woman is able to hold on like that without breaking down." Taft had to say to his friend.
"I really don't know how to take it easy Cyril. But of late I have been fighting my inner demons. Even though Loreile keeps on telling me to slow down." he responded.
"Since I haven't told her yet about my decision. I have spoken with Vance about cutting back my workload in order to work at the Academy and gun range. Even though I will be able to work an additional off the books operations." he said with an exhaled of his lungs.
"It's about time Jethro that you had enough sense to make that decision to slow down with your old age? Loreile started to tease him to get him to rile up slightly and Doctor Taft chuckling at his expense.
"Really! Calling me old? Believe me, you will be at that stage at some point with all of your looks gone, hunched over with a witch's nose and your ruby lips gone replaced with the greyness." he said to have her playing his little game.
"You might have been shot in your chest. But it doesn't stop me from playing with your penis and balls down below. Would you like that at all?" she cried out with the question as he wasn't going to stop her even though he might be in pain with the action of her hands and no doubt her mouth.
She started to massage his facet penis for the moment no doubt will be growing. Except for the fact that he's under a great deal of medication. But it wasn't the case when his penis was growing in her hands to his delight along with his vitals.
"I hope to god no one comes into this room Loreile?" he said with his head laying back up against the white pillowcases.
