Anger Management
Chapter 129th
Timothy McGee had arrived at Gibbs house walking into the living room and with a beer waiting on the coffee table. Gibbs standing with his cane holding the envelope in his hand with the electronic bugs.
"How are you holding up boss?" Tim needed to ask his friend even though he knew that Gibbs might not answer him.
"The best I could Tim. However, I need you to keep this to yourself. Only Leon knows with the situation going on."
"Don't tell me another one of those fake situations, Boss?" McGee blurted out without thinking/
"Yes. Loreile was the one this time to go through with the plan while I was down and out in the hospital and is a great deal of pain. I had no choice but to go through with it after receiving the intel from her sources through the D.O.D. that the threat was much worst after Alejandro Riveria was shot after being rescued. Now that Riveria is dead, there is going to be a number of the local Cartel deciding to put out a bounty on me and my family."
"If this is the case boss. Why aren't you in the safe house as well?" it was a valid question to ask in the first place.
"I didn't wish to make it too obvious. Giving them the chance to try it again out into the open. However, I wasn't allowed to get the extra help with the protection detail, unlike the last time with the agents across the street. It was a total waste of time."
"And what about telling everyone about the divorce?" Tim replied with seeing a look on his expression.
"I afraid it's going to happen. Even though once this bull is over. We can remarry and have a new life again. But what is bad is the fact that Loreile is six months pregnant making it very stressful with the pregnancy and the possible chance that she might go into labor early. And if she does hang on to the ninth month, I will be able to be there for the delivery and with the threat over?" he cries out with McGee taking a swig of the beer. "So please don't say a word right now?"
"Sure boss. I will be sure to have Kasie check out the bugs or whether there are any prints on them? I have better be going and go home to my wife. She is making a T-bone steak for the first time in a while." Tim finishes up the beer to head back outside into the chill of the air and his truck. There was a partial moon coming out for the early evening.
Gibbs looked out the window making sure that McGee was able to drive off to his apartment. But instead, McGee decided to go see Kasie at her own place and give her the envelope filled with the two bugs inside.

Kasie had been sitting up watching the local news on CNN. When she heard the doorbell. She had not changed as yet for the evening. When she had gotten up from the couch. She had her laptop opened up as well as reading her emails.
Looking through the peephole to see Timothy McGee of all things. "What in the world is going on Tim?" she was serious with her tone having put on her glasses.
"I just came from Gibbs house. I need a big favor from you if possible. Look Gibbs just found two electronic bugs in his house that are inside this envelope. I need you to find out where, when, or whether there are any prints on the bugs Kasie? I know that I am asking a great deal right now with Gibbs down in the dumps with the loss of LORIELE?" Tim said with handing her the envelope.
"I will do it Tim for Gibbs and no one else. I don't care what Vance might say on the subject?" Kasie needed to say.
"I need the answers as soon as possible Kasie," Tim exclaimed with a hand on his chin for the moment.
"I will get myself ready to head for NCIS and the lab. I will no doubt have some answers in the morning. Are you working Saturday for a case?" she needed to know.
"No, I will be home working on my third novel while the twins are visiting my wife's mother for a few days. Thank you for helping us out," he said with the shake of her hand and hug.

TOMBSTONE ARIZONA SAFE HOUSE
Loreile had been on phone with Madeline back at the Evergreen safe house with SHANE, NATHAN, and even Phineas. She had to be sure that the boys were okay after talking with them over the phone. Even though Nathan had been crying. However, for Shane, he was trying to be strong for his mother and for the sake of his father for where ever he might be.
After her chat. She decided to make a meal for herself in the compact kitchen stocked with goodies compliments of the safe house and her friend. She looked at the time having to be nine o'clock eastern time, she decided to call her husband as prearranging.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs had his legs on the coffee table relaxing with his right knee with the ice pack. His cell phone had gone off on the couch next to him. Looking at the time he knew it was his wife.
"Loreile are you alright there?" he had to ask with the pain in his chest.
"I am settled in Jethro. I was able to speak with the boys and Madeline. I am afraid to say that Nathan is going to be upset for a while our eldest is going to be strong for the both of them." she said with emotion.
"I am so sorry about all this Loreile. Even though it was you that had made the choice with doing this thing again to catch the Cartel?" Gibbs needed to reply by putting his one leg down.
