Sessions
Chapter Three
Special Agent Gibbs walked into the house trying to clear of mind after talking with his friend Fornell. All of a sudden he was attacked by Lucy and Marcie getting in her kiss to his cheek before asking whether if everything was okay.
"Sure. Everything is okay. Except for the fact I have two more sessions coming up with Doctor Grace Confalone." he said with a deep breath with sitting on down the bags of food as she takes them to the kitchen table.
"Why? Unless your Director Leon Vance s still trying to punish you and your team?" she was direct to the point with the question.
"I have no idea, Marcie. Besides I don't have to worry about it for a few days," he said, and for which she was able to sense his mood. She had been getting used to his strange moods after 30 plus years as an agent for NCIS.
"Why are you so worried Jethro since coming inside the house?" she came over to him after dropping off the bags before taking them out.
"Look. I was being tailed coming out of the hospital having my session with the good doctor. When I had called Tobias asking him with giving him a partial plate. He's going to be calling me with the information when he has the chance."
"Do you realize Jethro that maybe the Cartel had found out about the story I am doing on your first wife Shannon and Kelly having to be alive after spending the first 24 years with the Witness Protection Program?" she cried out with seeing his reaction to the possible idea that they will be coming after Gibbs and herself.
"I don't know for sure since I did ask Tobias to investigate it as well. And no I won't be asking the team to get involved since they are on thin ice with the director."
"Have you spoken to Doctor Confalone about all this nonsense since your suspension?" she was concerned about him petting Lucy paying no attention to their conversation.
It was moments later when Gibb's cell phone began to ring has to be his friend Fornell. He grabbed it from the coffee table that he placed. Picking it up to answer the call with his heart rate beginning to rise...
"Fornell what do you have for me?" he exclaimed with turning to face Marcie.
"The F.B.I. database was able to come up with the name Luiz Rodgue of the Local Cartel. Recently arriving from Paraguay a month ago. He has two priors for drug smuggling and kidnapping. I have spoken with my boss and he is willing to have me investigate it further with my partner. Are you alright Jethro?"
"Not really! I just don't like to have this hanging over my head every time to head out somewhere Tobias," he commented with Marcie getting up to head for the kitchen to remove the Chinese out of the bags.
"I will keep you updated Butch on what I am able to find," he said before hanging upon his friend.
Gibbs had gotten up from the couch with his right knee beginning to bother him from the stress of late. He sat down with Marcie was going to continue with the badger with the questions. "So tell me what did Doctor Grace have to say with the session?"
She watched Lucy head back to her bed inside the kitchen.
"The usual BS from her with always getting me to talk and I have no choice to see her again on Friday and sometime next week before I am supposed to be heading back to work at NCIS.," he says with getting up to grab a beer from the fridge. "Do you want one Marcie?"
"Sure. Why not Jethro!" she takes the bottle of Budweiser beer from his hand.
Doctor Grace Confalone was talking with Director Leon Vance about Special Agent Gibbs for the better of twenty minutes.
"What more do you need to know Director?" She had to say.
"I need to know on whether Special Agent Gibbs is still sorry for what he had done before I am able to suspend him?" Director Vance was sitting in his office after coming back from SECNAV.
"No, he's not Director. Special Agent Gibbs is over it right now. Since he was here today for a session with two more to go with the next one on Friday. However, I do know that he's ready to come back on Monday since I will be signing off on the papers to you. Unless you have another reason to keep him out of work Director Vance?" This was a good question since Gibbs has him with that file that was given to him by Trent Kort.
"No, I don't Doctor Confalone. I will let you go now having waste enough of time with you over the time about Gibbs. Take care." he ended the call to continue on with his work.
He was angry that Gibbs had to blackmail him with that file given to him from Trent Kort. He slammed his fist against the desk before crying out from the pain in his wrist and hand.
Meanwhile, Gibbs had finished with his Chinese food needing to relax with going down into the basement to finish up work on his latest creation with the boat. He had asked Marcie to come downstairs in one hour and 30 minutes to get him to come up to relax on the couch.
He only had twenty minutes left on the boat before putting together a plan on how to catch the Cartel in the act. Even though it might get a little bit dangerous using Marcie as bait.
He didn't wait for her to come and get him. He stopped his work to head upstairs to find her working on her laptop writing. While Lucy was sitting down next to her asleep.
She had lifted her head to see him all dusty needing to wash up. "Give up already on the boat?" she said with a smile and a southern accent making him smile though the conversation he was going to have will be serious.
