Paraguay's truth
Chapter 150
Leroy Jethro Gibbs was worried since he's not heard from his wife since leaving his hospital room. His mind had been racing with thinking about the Cartel once again coming after him. It was beginning was getting to be too much again with the never-ending song.
Sitting up further in his bed with a nurse to come in earlier to check on his vitals.
Just when he was about to grab his cell phone from the table next to him with his water pitcher and cups. It had started to vibrate indicating that someone was calling him and with having to be his wife finally.
"I was beginning to get worried, Loreile." he said over the phone.
"We made it safe and sound Jethro once again without any trouble at all. Phineas is staying with Madeline next store. Both Shane and Nathan are out cold after getting them to bed. They already missing you with Shane crying as with your younger son." she responded to make her husband with tears falling down his face from extreme emotion.
"I am glad Loriele. One less thing to worry about right now while I am staying in the hospital," he said with Taft walking in with listening to Gibbs talking to his wife.
"Listen, Jethro, I need to go now and let you try and sleep," she said to him over the phone.
"Taft is here so I will need in what he has to say Loreile. Love you and please give the boys kisses from me."
"Sure I will baby. Love you and good night," she commented before ending the call
Leroy Jethro Gibbs looked up at his primary care physician and friend. "What's up Doc?"
"The next time your wife calls tell her that you're angry at me for having to stay here. But in the meantime, I am letting you go home to get yourself ready for your undercover operation to search for the Cartel leader."
"What's the catch, Cyril?" A real valid question for when it comes to getting out of the hospital.
"Like the last time, I am coming along with you to make sure you don't have any issues with your health. I have already talked with my boss and wife about taking the week off to keep an eye out on you out into the field," he said to have Gibbs getting up from the bed with Taft to help him with getting dressed. "Your released papers have already been signed with the wheelchair to arrive very soon. I will be dropping you at your house to pack what is needed, while I will head home to have Catherine packing for me. Even though she thinks that I am crazy for doing this again."
"Have you mention any of this to Director Leon Vance or any other NCIS agents?" Gibbs had to ask with giving away his plan to try and find Alejandro Riveria.
"Of course, not Jethro! We need to keep this quiet as much as possible with you going on and the quest to search for him."
"I will need to do something in order to protect myself further. I will call McGee to help me out with inserting another one of the GPS tracking devices in my arm. In case I am captured by that bastard." Gibbs said.
"And what makes you think Riveria is going to be able to capture you? Unless you're able to put down your guard?" he exclaimed with his words to his patient and friend.
"I don't intend to drop my guard now that Loreile and my family are in the safe house Doc."
SOMETIMES LATER...
Special Agent McGee arrived with the GPS tracking device in a special container. Leroy Jethro Gibbs was asked to be sitting down at the kitchen table and his exposed forearm of the left hand.
"I realize boss that you're taking another chance with trying to capture the Cartel leader. But who knew it was going to be Alejandro Riveria?" Tim said to his boss and friend.
"I will agree with you, Tim. However, the danger factor is so much more dangerous since it's Riveria. Just remember if the GPS tracking device goes off. I want you to tell him the truth? Otherwise, forget it as with my wife Loreile at the safe house. She is going to want all of the details since she is always curious for when it comes to me and my work along with my health." he says.
