Dark Void
Chapter 121th
Since they had finished up together in bed with the sex. Gibbs had fallen asleep from exhaustion as with Loreile. Even though later she was hungry and needed to take a quick shower before checking on the boys in the nursery.
She had slipped out of the bed quietly so as not to wake her husband needing his sleep for which he doesn't sleep much as it supposed to be. However, he woke anyway. "What's going Loreile?" he said in a sleepy tone of voice with his hair every which way to have her chuckling.
"I am going to take a shower before calling for Chinese food," she said with a slight yawn.
"Go take the shower while I call. Maybe Madeline might want something. Why don't you put on your robe and find out? This way you will be able to kill to birds with two stones?" he commented with his wife placing on her purple robe and slippers with the cold floor.
She had walked out of the bedroom leaving her husband waiting to call the Chinese restaurant that they use all of the time.
She found Madeline in the nursery working on the computer writing. While both Shane and Nathan were out cold in bed. "Are you interested in Chinese food?" she said to her ear so as not to be loud with the question.
"I will have my usual Loreile. Thanks for thinking of me. Are you going to the hospital at all tonight?" she asked.
"No. Tomorrow morning before they take her into surgery. Why do you ask the question?"
"No reason Loreile." she said with continuing with writing her SCI-FI story with the word program.
She walked out to head back to the bedroom with her husband waiting. "She's going to be having her usual Jethro. While the Shane and Nathan are sound asleep."
"Good. Now go take your shower," he ordered with a tone that something else was on his mind altogether.
Making the call by going over the entire order with the woman over the phone. After he was done with the order. He was beginning to think about Shannon again and what she had gone through over the years with her decision to leave and call the Witness Protection Program.
Though for himself it was a total nightmare having found his wife and daughter dying in the crash. Even if it was set up by the Witness Protection Program. He had suffered a long time with the endless nights of dreams and nightmares.
After he was done calling. He went to check on his two boys in the nursery. As Madeline was on the phone with one of the agents living in the house across the street. The D.O.D. after being informed by the Witness Protection manager about Shannon and Kelly about the possible threat.
Gibbs overheard part of the conversation in regard to Phineas' adopted parents. "Why will they be involved in the first place?" she had to ask with seeing Gibbs standing at the entrance of the door.
"I don't know Madeline. Just let Gibbs know in case there is a problem at his house." the agent said over the phone. She hangs up the phone to walk over to him.
"What's this about Phineas adopted parents?" he was curious with his gut kicking in for when it comes to trouble.
"Now that Shannon and Kelly are back in your life with having the procedure tomorrow. There is a possible chance that the Cartel might try to go after them like killing Phineas adopted parents in order to get back at you and to them," she commented with Gibbs not really believing all this just yet.
"Will the D.O.D. going to be keeping an eye out on his house?" Gibbs needed to ask since Phineas really was important to him in general ever since he had shot his mother Sahar a few years back.
"Yes, they are Gibbs. So that you have basically nothing to worry about at the moment," she said with Loreile to be coming in soon.
"Listen we need to keep this quiet from Loreile for now. She has enough to worry about the baby and stress." he will say with Madeline to agree to the idea.
Sometime later with the Chinese food delivery arrived and sitting in the kitchen. Loreile was beginning to wonder whether there was something going on with her husband hiding something. She had been munching on the jumbo shrimp popping it into her mouth.
"Why are you so quiet Jethro?" she asked knowing her husband too well for when even he's quiet.
"Nothing is wrong Loreile. Can't I stay quiet while I am eating before we head on over to the hospital?"
"True. But this is you, Jethro and I suspect something is going on?" she quipped with her words.
Across the street at Phineas house. His adopted parents had finished up their dinner with Phineas heading upstairs to head onto his laptop in order to send an email to Jethro Gibbs like he always does.
Otherwise, Phineas had felt the tension between his stepmother and stepfather in regard to a subject he wasn't able to understand what is going on between them.
Since he was upset with the door closed. He didn't hear that someone had knocked on the front door with his stepfather opening the door with someone saying that he was from the gas company. Some kind of a gas leak was reported in the neighborhood.
"We had no problem with our stove sir. Since we had just finished dinner." his wife came over asking whether they should have him test the back of the stove. Since he had the device in his hand. What they didn't know was the fact that this man in his forties had a revolver with a silencer ready to use on the both of them.
Turning on the gas with checking the line. He pulled out his revolver at the both of them dropping them both to the ground. No one will be able to see unless you're looking hard that the both of them have been shot.
Turning the gas on all four burners and the over. He left the house quickly in a Blue SUV can head off in the opposite direction.
