Chapter 2

"Yeah, I understand Leon. However, I just don't like it one bit that I can't tell Fornell or the truth to my wife. She already has enough problems to deal with before she gives birth to our son for god sake!" He was angry and had to go home to pack his things before leaving for the cabin. While Torres, McGee, and two other NCIS officers will be scanning the area.

Moving out of MTAC with slamming the door and heading downstairs to grab his weapon, badge, ID., and his black coat. He was angry with Bishop having come back from a break to see him angry. She had taken off her mask to go back to her work. First of all, she used the wipes to clean her hands before beginning. "Bishop takes care I am leaving for my vacation at the cabin. Please be sure to call me when Loreile needs to head for the hospital to have the baby."

"Sure Gibbs. But what I don't understand as to why you're going now with Loreile so close to having the baby? I would have thought you will want to be there to see your son born unlike with Kelly with you being deployed?" Bishop said with shaking her head.

"I can't make you understand that I need to do this anyways. My wife understood why I was going to the cabin for a week with Fornell. I just hope to god that it doesn't happen." He said with anguish in his tone of voice and demeanor.

He walks away from her to head for the elevator and downstairs to the entrance and the parking lot with his grey beat-up vehicle.

Loreile had finished packing with staying at her sister's for the week while her husband was on vacation at his cabin. Though she knew that it was all a set up to try and captured Jose Juan Hernandez once again. However, what she and her husband didn't know was the fact that the entire operation will backfire...

She was upstairs in the bedroom of Gibbs house. Though he had placed both of their names on it now after all this particular time. She goes to walk towards the window to see him park his Jeep into the driveway.

She was going to be having another confrontation with him in regard to him leaving for the cabin and not caring for her or when the baby is born throwing it up into his face.

"LOREILE!" He cries out throughout the house searching for her when she closes the brown suitcase and waiting for her sister Elizabeth to pick her up for the ride back to her house.

He found her in the bedroom finished up with her packing. While he was going to be doing the same for the cabin and making sure his weapons will be all set. "So you're going, Jethro?" She said with some sarcasm in her tone of voice and body language.

"Yeah, I am going Loreile. I told you before I was going. Fornell is looking forward to the trip once again since the last few times screwed up by Phil and the serial killer."

"I still can't you're leaving for a week with me having this baby sometime soon. It's just too bad you don't love me all that much to be going to your goddamn cabin." She was angry as hell with grabbing her suitcase with being extremely careful to head downstairs.

"I will take that Loreile and bring it downstairs while you wait for your sister Elizabeth." He grabs it only to have her angry further...

"Don't do me any favors, Gibbs. Just stay out of my way right now before I punch you out." She was serious in spite of the fact she was 9 months pregnant.

Gibbs was annoyed now that she was going too far with her threat against him.

It was twenty minutes later when Elizabeth and her husband David walked inside the living room feeling the stress with Loreile and when Gibbs came down to talk for a moment. "We will be sure to take good care of Loreile while she is away and your vacation at the cabin," David said with shaking his head lightly. Loreile didn't bother to kiss her husband still steaming with anger. She walked out of the house leaving him alone until he was finished packing as well to drive to his cabin alone.

He was going to be meeting up with Torres and McGee along with Lt. Brown and two others to be helping with searching for Hernandez.

Nick Torres didn't like the fact he had been pulled away from working the undercover operation at the casino. Even his future wife Eleanor Bishop didn't think it was a good idea at the time.

Stopping at his favorite diner. He had Elle the waitress to fill up the canteen with coffee and sandwiches for the trip. Though he had supplies at the cabin as well as in the back of his beat-up old truck. Elle was pleased to see him since it's been only a few days earlier that he had seen him with Loreile getting so close to giving birth.

After picking everything up at the diner. He was now heading out for the long drive...
