Broken heart
Chapter
Once the call ended. He turned with putting away his damn cell-phone with turning it off as well.
He walked over to his team and including Kasie ahead of everyone in the drinking department. "Hey, Gibbs! Are you ready to party now?" she asked with taking a sip of a drink she had no idea from whom.
"I am ready now Kasie. Someone by me a drink before I get the nerve to get on that dance floor with some lovely lady?" he commented to have the team not believing in what he was saying to them.
"I will Special Agent Gibbs?" the woman walking in wearing her Naval uniform having come from NCIS and a meeting with Director Leon Vance.
He turned to look at the most beautiful woman he had seen in such a long time with green eyes and long curly black hair.
"I am at a disadvantage. How do you know just who I am in the first place?" he said with Torres handing him a Bourbon that he decided to purchase.
"Director Leon Vance a friend of mine from way back told me that you might be here with your team after getting back from Afghanistan. My name is Lt. Loreile Ann Baskins of the Naval Evergreen safe house. I am hereby ordering from Vance and Doctor Confalone to be your protector for the next two weeks while on vacation."
"Does this have anything to do with my session in the morning with Doctor Confalone?" Gibbs needed to know the answer to his question.
"Yes," she asked the waiter coming over to buy everyone drinks at the table and including herself and Gibbs.
"Well in that case Lt. Baskins. Would you care to dance since you're here?" he asked with grabbing her hand to move into the middle of the floor with the jukebox playing an oldies but goodies tune.
"I have always loved to dance Special Agent Gibbs," Loreile says with a smile as the team was watching them on the floor.
"I don't think he's lonely now gang?" Kasie finished up her drink asking the bartender for another.
"Are you serious Kasie? Jethro needs this badly after losing Sloane to Afghanistan. Tim, it looks like you're going to be in charge of the team for the next few weeks with Jethro to be on vacation and no doubt will be heading to his cabin to get away?" Delilah needed to comment on the both of them dancing.
Lt. Baskins was able to feel the heat of their bodies together on the dance floor. As the song was winding down. She had heard a great deal about his reputation with the ladies over the years. Her friend Leon had told her to hold on with the assignment to be his guardian for the next two weeks. Even though he wasn't going to like it one bit.
As the tune ended. He asked the woman whether she was hungry.
"Very much so Special Agent Gibbs," she said with moving to their own table with the team looking on.
"Before we continue on with all this tonight and before I speak with Doctor Grace Confalone. Please call me the following Leroy Jethro Gibbs." he smiled with a hint of a smirk.
"I will call you, Jethro. But in the meantime you can call me Loreile." she says with seeing the waiter a young man to ask for their orders.
"Okay, Loreile." He faced the waiter to tell him he wanted to order chicken wings, fries with two more orders of Bourbon. While Loreile ordered the chicken wings, fries, and two orders of Scotch.
"Sure enough. I will be over with your drinks," he said.
While all this was happening Tim's phone was ringing coming from NCIS. "This is Senior Field Agent Timothy McGee what's going on?" he asked in a tone that had the entire team alerted.
"This is Colonel Sands of the U.S.S. Harthorn now docked. A body of a Naval officer Lewis James was found stabbed to death numerous times." he cried out over the phone from the deck of the naval vessel.
"Very well a team will be sent to the U.S.S. Harthorn to investigate." he hangs up with everyone listening in to the conversation. "Sorry everyone the evening will have to end. Delilah, I will drop you off at the apartment!" he said with calling over the waiter to ring up their bills.
"What about Gibbs?" Nick said.
"He's not able to work on the case since he's not been cleared by Doctor Confalone." Tim had to say with watching Gibbs laughing for the first time in such a long time.
