Sessions
Chapter seven
Special agent Tobias Fornell called Director Leon Vance just for the hell of it with his recent attitude. Bringing up his number onto the screen. He pressed the send button on the phone...
Director Leon Vance wasn't able to sleep. So he was sitting down in the living room drinking coffee with the NCIS files sitting on the couch next to him. He was pissed off enough during the past few months with his own neck in trouble with SECNAV and other agencies.
His cell phone sitting on the marble coffee table on vibrate. Even though he could have turned it off instead. However, this was the one time that the phone started to vibrate. He goes to pick it up with seeing Special Agent Tobias Fornell's name on the screen. He was in need of a deep breath before answering the phone.
"Fornell what's going on with you and Gibbs?" he wanted to know the situation.
"I would have thought you know what has been going on with Jethro's movements since you're been tailing him for months?" Tobias was angrily talking to the director.
"I am not doing no such thing Fornell! Maybe it's the C.I.A. or any other organization that might be on his tail as with the local Cartel as well. Why what has happened?" he was concerned with asking the question in the first place.
"Special Agent Gibbs is on the way to the hospital having been stabbed with a knife by Alejandro Riveria down by the Mission District. And I blame you and NCIS for putting him into this condition." he cried out screaming.
"How dare you blame me for all of his troubles? He's the one that didn't make that apology in the first place during that damn dogfighting case with Gibbs getting suspended," he said with vengeance with his demeanor.
"Excuse me, Director. It was you that had suspended Gibbs for his actions for which he was doing the right thing in the first place. I can't be talking to you any further when I need to be heading for the hospital." he hangs up on him to head for his vehicle. Fornell was angry and he needed to hit someone right now with his fists.
Bethesda hospital Operating room
Doctor Cyril Taft having been called into work on his friend and patient. He was scrubbing up in the other room. While he and another Doctor Anthony Sanchez a specialist. The x-rays were inside the operating room with the entire team waiting for the doctors to come out to begin on the patient under sedation and an oxygen mask over his face.
Doctor Taft was so sick and tire of his friend's antics with every time getting himself injured every time he works on a case. But in this case, Gibbs had been suspended and was working on his own or in this asking his friend from the F.B.I. to help him out.
Walking inside with being slightly quiet. The nurse placed the blue mask over his face in order to begin. He was able to take a look at the x-rays and other films.
Asking for his vitals with the anesthesiologist to give him the numbers. Even though he could of look up at the computer screen.
The gallery up in the observation nose once again was packed with doctors, residents, and visitors have heard once again about the agent being injured.
They began to work on the stab wound having been covered over and opened with the clamps in order to see where the damage was done.
It didn't take all that long before Doctor Taft and the other specialist were able to see where the damage was done with the tearing of the intestinal tract. Taft had tied it off with the clamp in order to remove the additional damage by placing it into the silver tray on the table and with Taft asking for one of the nurses in order to wipe his brow and his mouth dry as cotton balls to have everyone in the room chuckling sipping the warm water through the straw.
One hour and twenty minutes later they were done with closing up. Even though his vitals were beginning to rise further, and including his heart rate. They had brought Special Agent Gibbs into the recovery section with the nurses in that area to keep an eye out on the patient before being moved to ICU.
Doctor Gary Larkin working the recovery area checked the hook up on Gibbs oxygen mask and other equipment to register his heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. A young nurse came in to take the readings along with checking pressure bandage on the stomach wound.
She had made a note onto his chart in order for the doctors to take a look for when they come in having operated on the patient.
Meanwhile, Doctor Cyril Taft had spoken with those in the waiting area to let them know Gibb's condition. Even though they won't be able to visit him for a while. Director Leon Vance after getting the news tried to contact Senior Field Agent McGee with no luck at all. Though he had other calls to make and one of them was his daughter Kayla home from school studying in Communications.
"Kayla, how are you?" he asks his daughter. He said from inside the hallway of the hospital with his cell phone working better.
"Tire dad. Getting home from the drive really tired me out for the driving dad. How's Uncle Gibbs? she asks with concern for her uncle.
"Hanging on Kayla like always. I am sorry to have disturbed you. Get some sleep." he ordered his daughter for which she is going to listen to him.
