Cutting off the head of the snake

Chapter 63th

"What happened, Cyril?" Loreile turned to call out to him as he was completely shocked with seeing the woman. He had no idea where she had been during the past three months and she had gotten so much bigger with the pregnancy.

He had to count to find out that she had to be entering her ninth month at the moment. And now she was here back in Washington, D.C.

"Before I go into the details of your husband's condition. Where the hell have you been?" he said with empathy.

"Look it was my decision to go along with the plan once again to separate due to the threat from the Cartel. I know that Jethro was extremely upset with me leaving and I hurt him deeply."

"Yeah, I know Loreile. He turned to drink and spending a lot of time at Kelly's bar and others picking up women until he picked the wrong one to get abducted for the Cartel." Taft needed to say to her with a horrid look on her face.

"I just don't understand as to why he would do this knowing what could have happened for when it comes to the Cartel and other criminals?" Loreile needed to say.

"Gibbs was desperate having to be too lonely. He was only able to work so much for when it comes to his boat in the basement, the house, and going to the diner. Anyway, Jethro has a lot of issues when it comes to his heart. The side valve that helps with blood flow and circulation needs replacing before it goes completely and suffers a massive heart attack."

"When is the operation Doctor?" Loreile quipped.

"Right away. We have gotten the operating room ready for the surgery. All of the paperwork needs to be signed by either Gibbs or yourself? However, Gibbs is not awake and we need to get started."

"Fine. I will sign them Cyril. But I am telling you that you're going to have to save my husband?" she cried out with a tone that was strange even for him.

"I will certainly try my best to save him. I have always put 100% into my work over the years and Gibbs knows this?" he said with placing a hand behind his neck.

"Thank you. However, I do have one request Doc. I need to watch the operation from the observation room up above?" she suggested.

"Of course! I will be sure to give you a pass right now in order to watch. However, I suggest you call Kelly as well in Orlando, Florida, and let her know just what the hell is going on with her father?" he responded with Loreile agreeing with pulling out her cell phone to make the call.

Orlando, Florida

Kelly and her husband James were sitting out on the deck having to be a beautiful afternoon. While the boys were at school playing baseball with their teammates. The nanny had gone to the field to watch them and bring them home when the game is over. They are only able to play six innings.

Kelly was chatting away when her cell phone was going off. When she had looked at the caller I.D. to be Loreile of all people.

"Loreile how are you? I am wondering what has been going on of late?" she asks with looking over at her husband James with a concerned look.

"Listen I have some bad news with your father is going into surgery having to have his left heart valve replaced due to the lack of oxygen and blood flow. All this happening after getting abducted and rescued by NCIS."

"Who caused it Loreile?' she said with anger.

"The Cartel Kelly. I will be heading into the Observation room to watch the operation in a little while. Your father hasn't come out from his first surgery when the doctor's suggested the additional. I wanted to let you know right away Kelly."

"Thank you for calling and please keep me updated once they are done with the surgery. I was thinking of flying to Washington, D.C.?" SHE SUGGESTED. "However I know it's a bad idea with the chance that the Cartel might be waiting at the airport."

"I will call you, Kelly. So try and stay calm while waiting. Okay?" Loreile commented.

"Fair enough." she hung up the phone starting to cry...
