Dark Void
Chapter 129th
Sometime during the night, Special Agent Gibb's infection heated up with the doctors deciding to take him back into surgery to find out why he was having an issue with the right leg. Doctor Gomez and Taft called in to do the possible surgery had found a hidden fragment with the new X-rays taken, along with the MRI.
Loreile, was called at home with the news of her husband's additional surgery. His temperature had risen to hit 104 at that particular time. She was sitting in the waiting room after making plans with Madeline to keep an eye out on Shane, and Nathan.
She was drinking coffee when the one man she didn't expect to arrive. "Leon, why are you here at this hour?"
"Look just because Gibbs and I have been fighting of late. It doesn't mean I can't come to keep you company here in the waiting room." he cried out with handing her a bag filled with hot coffee and an egg sandwich from the all-night deli.
"Thanks. I just don't know how this could happen with the additional fragment?" she commented with taking a sip of the hot coffee.

Operating room
Doctor Cyril Taft wearing a special goggle in order to see what he was doing with the scalpel. For the past twenty minutes, he had been cleaning up the infection, along with the damage to the muscle before finally finding the small piece of the bullet fragment in the upper part of his thigh.
"Found it the little devil!" he cried out with his team clapping in the operating theatre. However, he had to clean up the little bleeders as well before closing up.
"Doctor Taft his blood pressure is dropping slightly as with his heart rate." Doctor Cromwell said to him with checking his breathing and oxygen levels.
"Thank you. Hey! Old man come on already starting kicking up that heart of yours?" Taft said by removing his mask slightly to talk to him in his ear. "Plus we need to play poker again at your house with me beating your ass," he responded with his team laughing at the comical relief.
Afterward, his vitals changed for the better along with his temperature dropping.
They were able to finish up with bringing Special Agent Gibbs to recovery. While Doctor Cyril Taft walked down to the waiting room to speak with Loreile sitting with Vance drinking coffee.
She had gotten up from the chair. "How's he doing Doctor Taft?" Loreile cried out with an emotional response.
"Much better. I was able to remove the bullet fragment from his thigh and including repairing the muscle damage. I also as well cleaned away some of the infection hopefully will be gone in a few days." he said with Loreile taking in a deep breath.
Loreile was allowed to go see her husband back in ICU after an hour. She didn't know what to think anymore when it comes to her famous husband for NCIS. Even though she has a feeling that NCIS, Director Leon Vance, D.O.D. are fed up with his antics of late.
She walked into his semi-darkened room to sit down on the chair next to the bed. She stayed quiet while she waited until a few moments later when he groined out with his first words.
"Jethro you're back in ICU after the doctors found another bullet fragment in your thigh along with cleaning up the infection. They are giving you a higher dose of antibiotics."
"I feel so tired Loreile." he says with closing his eyes for a moment to scare her some. "Can I have some water please?" he begged as she had gotten up to pour him a cup of cold water.
"Take it slow Jethro, I don't wish to see you throw up?" she exclaimed with her comment as Gibbs finished with the water without any trouble at all. "Feel better now?" she says with an expression of disgust on her face. Even though her husband didn't notice it with his eyes closed. She should of realize that the medication they had given him was still in his bloodstream. "Jethro I am going to let you rest now and head home to the boys. They were asking for you and including Phineas." she quipped.
He had fallen asleep as she had left the room without bothering to kiss him on his cheek. She was going to the diner in need of something to eat. She will be able to order something for the entire gang at the house. Her husband was going to be sleeping for a while now and for which he needs badly...
While she was driving to the Chinese restaurant. She had noticed another one of those tails. She had taken out her revolver from the purple purse and placed it on the side of her. However, she arrived at the place by placing it inside her grey coat. She walked in with the restaurant busy. She stood at the counter giving her the take-out order for which was rather large.
She took a look outside twice while waiting for the order to be ready. She wasn't able to find anything. Thinking that maybe it was part of her imagination. she said to herself with the shake of her head.
Some 20 minutes later with three boxes filled with the items. The owner asked one of the waiters to help the woman out to her vehicle and placing it into the back seat.
She was able to give a tip for him with helping her out. As the young waiter had gone back into the restaurant to continue on with his work for the next ten hours.
Loreile had taken off having taken a different side road heading for the house down the road. She wasn't able to see anything as she pulled out her phone to call Madeline to come outside to help her with the boxes. She parked the car in front of the house.
Madeline was able to notice something was not right with Loriele. Even though she was going to ask her after eating.
