Chapter 34
Finishing what they could with their patient. It was now up to mother nature and Gibbs's immunity system to heal thyself. Doctor Cyril Taft was exhausted as with the rest of the doctors. They will know in a day whether Leroy Jethro Gibbs will be strong enough to transfer back to the United States.
Meanwhile, he had the marine base nurses keep an around the clock vigil with his patient and friend. Taft went to speak with Director Leon Vance in his quarters about Gibbs's condition. Knocking on his door at nine o'clock at night.
"Come in please." Vance needed to say with working on his full report to Loreile back in the states.
Doctor Cyril Taft had taken off his glasses to rub his burning, tired red eyes. "His condition has been upgraded to critical but guarded for the most part. It's up to Gibbs now to heal the best as possible along with the cell regeneration to take effect."
"Thanks, doc. When do you think he will be able to be transferred back to Bethesda, hospital?" He needed to ask with his work piling up in spite of the fact the assistant director had been busy with meetings.
"We will know tomorrow Director. Otherwise, there is nothing else to do but wait it out now. I will be going to my quarters to get some sleep with the nurses to call me when there is a change in his condition. Have you spoken with Loreile?" He asked tiredly...
"I spoke with her before. However, I had started writing an email with the update. Thanks, doc. Go get some sleep with saving Gibbs once more."
As he watches Taft leave his quarters. He began to write the email letter to Gibbs's wife.
Dear Loreile
It's 9.10 p.m. here at night and Taft just gave me an update on Gibbs now in critical but guarded condition. This is the time to tell you what exactly happened to Gibbs and it's not pretty...
When Nick Torres had arrived at the scene. Hernandez had used his knife to cut into Gibbs's stomach. However, just prior to the rest of us arriving. Jose Juan Hernandez had sliced off your husband's penis partially to have Gibbs hanging down like a piece of gutted meat.
Torres had thrown up at the sight calling out to us with helping Gibbs down from the two poles bleeding. I have never seen anything like it before.
I just hope to god that Gibbs is able to recover fully. The specialists were able to sew back on his penis with a cell regeneration program and other elements to restore the blood flow and circulation.
I must say I am glad that Hernandez is finally dead as with his flunky Riccio. I shot him myself as with Nick taking them both down. They don't deserve any other treatment but to have their bodies burnt to a crisp.
Loreile I am tired now and I need to try and sleep after the past long days. Take care of yourself and I will let you know on whether Gibbs is strong enough to travel sometime tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Leon
Pressing the send button. He didn't know how long it was going to take for Loreile to receive the email letter...
