Broken heart
Chapter 3
Timothy McGee needed to interrupt Gibbs and Lt. Loriele Ann Baskins. "Gibbs I am sorry to have disturbed the both of you. But we just received a call from the docked U.S.S. Harthorn with a Naval officer having been found stabbed to death."
"Okay I will finish up the food and drink and I will be meeting you there?" Gibbs states with McGee pointing it out that's he's not allowed to work on the case.
"I am very sorry sir. However, I will be able to let you know with an update tomorrow if possible," he responded with Gibbs's face showing his anger.
"Damn it." Gibbs cursed out with Lt. Baskins telling him to calm down and finish up with the food and drinks. "I can't calm down Lt. I am supposed to be in charge of the team with the case." he cried out with taking a large gulp of his Bourbon.
"Senior Field Agent McGee did tell you that he was going to call you with the updates?" she quipped with her words and a hand of hers on his with the callous from his projects of the past years.
"Fine. I am going to order two more bourbons. Would you care for another drink Lt. Baskins?" he asked with the act of kindness.
"Why not since I am here to babysit you so to speak?" she will say with slight sarcasm with her demeanor.
Sometime later... U.S.S. Harthorn carrier
Senior Field Agent met up with the team including Kasie and with Doctor Palmer arriving soon after receiving the call.
"What do we have Nick?" he was checking the apartment area for where the body was found with his bunkmates had left the carrier to begin their shore-leave for a week.
"I found the blade that was used on Sergeant Janey Wilcox under the bunk," he said with handing it to Kasie in the evidence bag.
"I will be sure to process this at the lab." Kasie needed to say while thinking about Gibbs. This had to be the first time since she had been working for NCIS that Gibbs was forced to stand down for when it comes to a case?
Meanwhile, Bishop had been talking to some of those on the carrier on whether they knew Sergeant Wilcox or whether he had any kinds of beef with his shipmates. All she was able to get as with McGee was silence as if they were scared to talk.
It was at this point that Doctor Jimmy Palmer and his assistant Davis Morgan arrived with the stretcher and equipment in order to take the body back to NCIS autopsy. When Palmer had begun to examed the body he noticed the tattoos of tigers on his forearm and calf of the right leg.
"Where is Gibbs?" Palmer asked before showing the tattoos to the team.
"Kelly's bar with his watchdog with Vance's orders that Gibbs is not allowed to work on any cases until he speaks with Doctor Confalone in the morning."
"Does this have anything to do with Sloane staying in Afghanistan?" Palmer needed to ask feeling uneven himself.
"Yes, it does Jimmy." Bishop had to say with his assistant bringing out the black bag in order to place the body inside.
It wasn't until Morgan moved the body that something fell out of the uniform jacket with a booklet. Using the gloves with opening them to see a list of names inside.
"Maybe this is why Sergeant Wilcox was killed in the first place?" McGee said by telling everyone to finish up before heading back out, home, or even the bar.
Neither decided to head back to Kelly's bar.
Since it was getting late at the bar and both Gibbs along Lt. Baskins were exhausted. "Shall we leave this place to head for my house? I understand you're supposed to be my watchdog for tonight. You can sleep upstairs in one of three bedrooms." he croaked out slightly mellow after a number of drinks in his bloodstream.
"And where are you going to be sleeping? If you don't mind me asking the personal question?" she was very much interested to know the answer.
She was feeling the drinks she had for which was a great number. At this point, she really didn't care. Since the one man, she was going to be keeping an eye out for was basically in the same shape.
Walking outside into the brisk cold air. She had watched him get into his old beat-up truck, while she did the same with following him since his house wasn't too far from Kelly's bar.
And with the way, he was driving it was going to be a quick drive with the speed he had been going and lucky that none of the police patrols were in in the area.
At some point of the night, she was glad in a big way the evening wasn't a bust with the Special Agent letting loose so to speak. Even though he was forbidden to attend the new case.
Reaching his house in Alexandria, Virginia. She had parked her own truck in front of the house. She had looked across the street to see a young boy out on a front porch with his parents no less. She didn't think it was proper to have any child sitting outside with the lateness of the hour.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs was able to tell him that Phineas was a friend of his with his adopted parents. He was going to explain the entire story another time.
Taking out his keys to open the front door to enter into the living room with the fireplace needing to be lit.
"How quaint?" she said to him with dropping his coat and other essentials onto the small chair.
"I will light the fireplace in order to warm up the living room. You can choose any room to sleep?" he said with Loreile looking at the stairs leading for the second floor.
She had found this really strange after only meeting this man earlier to be watching him for the next two weeks. "Good night," she said to him as he was settling in with placing a log with lighting up the fireplace. She decided to take the small child's room that was still with toys and the wallpaper with animals of all types for which she liked a great deal.
She had no idea what Gibbs was doing since she had read his file that sometimes he was a right.
