Cutting off the head of the snake

Chapter 57

Sometime later after falling asleep after the sex in bed. Gibbs had woke to feel slightly stiff and sore in spots that he didn't realize that can hurt as much.

Louise was asleep as he had gotten dressed quickly grabbing his things. He has written a note from the notepad he had in his coat jacket.

Louise

Thanks for a great time tonight.

Jethro

He opened the front door after finishing with tying his shoes to head outside and his truck. He felt relaxed somewhat after the sex. He wasn't planning on doing it again with his wife and family in the safe houses. It was chilly outside as he buttons up his coat before getting into his truck.

He moved away as Louise had gotten up to peak at the note before smiling and going back to sleep.

Special Agent Gibbs had felt bad about having this one nightstand. Unless it might turn into something else later. Right now he was nowhere near his wife and boys, along with having a third boy soon.

Driving home sometime later after stopping at the liquor store buying two bottles of Bourbon and Budweiser beer. He was going to get himself drunk inside his basement. Walking into the silence of his house. He had pulled off the black leather jacket that he was wearing and leaving it on the couch. Along with his weapon, keys, wallet, money, and other essentials.

He's hit rock bottle at the moment and there was nothing he was able to do with the loss of his family.

Bringing all of his purchases downstairs by turning the lights low. He opened the first bottle sitting with grabbing the tin cup to begin...

It was four hours laying inside his boat that wasn't finished. He had a hangover that was killing him having to be three a.m. in the morning.

He wasn't able to get up from the bench inside his boat. He just laid there until later. Even though he had had an accident with his bladder full from the liquor in his system.

Finally later after the embarrassment of going. He was sober enough to head upstairs to take a hot shower and into clean clothes.

What he needed most now was something to eat at his favorite diner. Making sure that he had all of his personal belongings before placing on his coat to head outside.

He was angry at himself for getting drunk last night and unable to move out of his boat. Locking up the front door he headed for his grey truck in the driveway feeling still slightly off.

When he parked the grey truck next to the 24/7 diner. He felt strange all of a sudden as if he was being watched. Looking around he wasn't able to find a thing. Maybe his suspicion will be formed with moving inside the diner and seeing Elle greeting him with a bit of a smile.

"Would you care to sit down at a table or the counter?" Elle asked as usual for her favorite customer.

"I will sit at a table, Elle. I need to ask whether you were able to see anyone suspicious?" he asks with concern in his tone.

"No Gibbs I haven't. Other than the fact it's the same old faces. No pun intended." she had to say to have him chuckle slightly.

He walked over to the table to order his usual RIB-EYE steak with the essentials along with coffee. "I will be right back with the coffee Gibbs," she said smiling...
