I can't save you

Chapter Five

"What do you want me to do Marcie? I can't stand it being here all of the time." He cried out with his response.

"I have no idea, Jethro. You're a smart man. You're able to figure it out on your own right now with everything confusing with this mystery of ours. But for now, I am going to the house to take care of Lucy and myself and go from there. However, I do need to contact the new editor since I have three stories that need to be turned in." she commented with a kiss on his soft lips.

"Please take care of yourself Marcie I love you too much in order for someone to take full advantage of our relationship." Gibbs needed to say.

"And what about the C.I.A.?" she had to ask without having to mention them into the conversation.

"No doubt someone is going to be showing up especially Jeffries is supposed to be involved with them, Marcie. No doubt he's going to be coming here to speak with me. Since you have spoken with the man at the house?"

"He scares me, Jethro," she replied with putting on her coat in order to head downstairs to the underground parking lot. She was going to needing to be careful with driving away. It was colder outside with the drop in the temperature. She had pulled out her mask just in case she was going to be needing it.

Moving out of the underground parking lot into the main road. She wasn't able to see anyone driving with heading for the diner to pick up some food for herself and Lucy.

Sometime later with the traffic. She turned into the parking lot of Gibb's favorite diner. She was hoping that Elle the waitress had been working this particular. She had been giving her some free food for Lucy. Parking her vehicle next to the door. She had placed on her blue mask when she walked inside with seeing Elle working serving a patron.

She had been able to notice the woman as she has an expression through her own mask having to be black. "How are you, Marcie? Where is Gibbs?" She had no idea what has been going on. She wasn't going to tell her the truth until she knows the full details.

"He's in the basement finishing up on some of his projects Elle. He asks me to come here to pick up some food. I will like two orders of Rib-eye steaks with baked potatoes, salad, and rye bread if possible Elle?" she had to say with searching the diner for anything out of the ordinary.

"Sure Marcie I will get right on it." she walks away to hand in the order. Even though she had forgotten about the drinks. She came back over to asks after the orders were inside the kitchen.

"I will have a large diet cola and a black coffee to go with it as well," Marcie responded with a smile.

C.I.A HEADQUATERS

Jeffries had come back to his office after talking with the NCIS agents. He wasn't liking the way things have been going with trying to take out Marcie Warren and Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He had been waiting for those involved in the operation of retrieving the file Gibbs had achieved from over the years.

Sitting at his desk needing black coffee after falling asleep from a long day. Pouring the coffee container behind him. While putting in three sugars and creamer for the coffee.

There was a knock on his glass door finally his two associates arriving back from Pussem county. "Come in already gentlemen." he was pissed for the most part.

"We know that we screwed up Jeffries. But we never had thought that we will run into the D.O.D. agents having no choice to kill them." Alexi Rodrigue had to say to his boss.

Speaking in Russian instead. "You fool the female agent lived and is at the Pussem County medical center in critical condition. Even though the doctors think that she will recover."

"Are there any security watching the woman?" Alexi had to say with his tone unsettled.

"There is 24-hour security from the D.O.D. and hospital security. What I want the both of you to do is go after Gibbs for the file and the Washington Post reporter with needing the location of Shannon and Kelly Gibbs knowing that she is alive?" he punched the side of his desk to cry in a grimace with pain.

"What happens to the agent you sent in to kill Marcie Warren at Gibb's house?" Miki Chan age 45 says to Jefies with lighting up a Cuban cigar.

"Warren shot him with her revolver three times into his head, chest, and shoulder. NCIS has gotten wind that C.I.A. is dirty into something. Gibbs knows that it was Anthony Rizzio that was killed in the middle of his living room." exhaling into his lungs along with the smoke from the cigar.

"I will see if I can get some of my friends to help with taking out Gibbs in the hospital. I have one of them working at the same hospital on the fourth floor."

"Do it as quickly as possible? Understand?" Jeffries was angry as hell needing to clean up this mess with the file and the location of Gibbs first wife Shannon and daughter."

"I will as with our friend Miki Chan. To check on Marcie Warren's location?" Alexi needed to say on the subject.

Gibbs house

Marcie had arrived home at Gibbs's house. She had checked the attic and other areas that anyone is able to break into the house and including the basement.

After she had checked. She had taken Lucy for a brief walk with it still daylight. Afterwards, she was now ready to have her dinner from the diner she had brought home. It was smelling so good to her nostrils.
