The best and the worst of times
Chapter 27th
Leroy Jethro Gibbs didn't know whether they will be expecting trouble downstairs with dinner. One never knows when it comes to him in the first place.
He's been running on empty for months now ever since he had shot Tim during the operation at the airport and afterward with needing to talk with Doctor Grace Confalone. He needed to talk with her again since she had been a real pain in the ass of late.
Walking out of the suite holding hands. He was feeling tired. He needed to eat nevertheless along with a drink laced with heavy liquor. Walking down to the elevator thinking back to all of his problems. Loreile broke his reverie by pushing the button of the elevator.
"Something wrong?" she turned around to face his face with an expression as if something was wrong with him.
"No. Nothing is wrong just thinking about some of the bad things that had happened Loriele. I am sorry to have ruined this time?" he cried out as the elevator door opened with two of the patrons coming out with a strange look on their expressions.
"Will you please stop with your crying about old spilled milk?" she joked to a certain point.
"I can't help it Loriele with having lost so much in my life. I am just feeling sorry for myself mostly. Ducky tried talking to me about it a number of times." he said.
"Ducky is a smart man and he knows you really well have been friends for a long time. Even though he's angry at you at times for withheld information about your first wife and your daughter Kelly?"
"You know how I am for when it comes to my personal life. Even though all of it is the work for NCIS and the basement. I hide there to clear my head when things don't go right." he exhaled with heading into the dining area to have the waiter escort them to a table asking whether they want any drinks.
"I will have a Bourbon please before ordering any type of food. " Gibbs to say...
"I will have a Diet COLA a large," she said looking around the bar area.
"See anyone you know Loriele?" Gibbs needed to ask with his demeanor expecting some type of trouble.
"No one at all Jethro. Unless you're expecting someone to had been involved?" his curiosity was kicking in with having to be an NCIS agent for the longest time.
The waitress had come over with their drinks before asking for their food order. While she had taken her pad out once again to write it down.
However what was about to happen with the waitress looking out the window of the restaurant.
Gibbs asked the woman what was wrong.
"That is the third time I have seen that vehicle drive by with a Spanish-looking dude sticking out his head," she said to have Gibbs getting up.
"You don't think it's the same one involved with putting you into the hospital in the first place?" Loreile commented and with her heart racing watching her future husband heading out with putting out his revolver. She ran out as well to see if they can catch up to the vehicle.
"Loreile get back!" he cried out the passenger moved out his head to fire his rifle missing the both of them. Before Gibbs hitting the back windshield trying to hit the driver.
The passenger this time missing Gibbs and Loriele hit a pedestrian coming out of the hotel. He was down on the cement ground. While Loreile continued to fire only this time she saw Gibbs getting hit into right leg dropping him once again.
This time she fired at the tires to have the driver unable to control the vehicle to smash into three cars with turning over and exploding with the both of them inside. She was able to see the driver getting out as she fired to drop him down for good.
But in the meantime, it was going to be a long story for when it comes to the police, fire, and anyone else coming onto the scene. One thing for sure they needed to get Leroy Jethro Gibbs to the hospital.
She called 911 along with the other patrons in the vicinity. She ran over to Gibbs to grabbed a cloth from one of the patrons to help out. "Thanks." it was a young woman saying that she has medical training.
"Who s this by the way?" Louise Taylor needed to asked having been inside the diner having breakfast. She's a medical doctor in the field of Internal medicine working out of the Los Angeles hospital.
"Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs of NCIS Washington, D.C. he's here on vacation as with myself." While watching the woman putting pressure on the wound of his right upper thigh of his leg.
"One thing for sure the bullet had nick an artery to cause this much blood?" she responded with Gibbs waking again.
"Loreile I am really sorry for everything. I love you!" he cried out before passing out once more.
