Undercover Operations
Chapter 62th
Leroy Jethro Gibbs was trying to be a smart ass with trying to grab the
water pitcher with his arm to be a real failure.
"That serves you right Jethro with moving to hurt your arm after being injured
down by the mission district." Doctor Taft needed to have said.
"I realize that now Cyril. I am just frustrated Doc with needing to be able to live a
life without the enemies getting in the way of things like with my wife and family?" he
croaked out with his response.
"Maybe you should consider retiring completely and move elsewhere to start your life
with Loreile and the family?" Cyril Taft was getting teary-eyed with his comment with seeing
his friend's vitals raising slightly as with his heart rate.
"I will have to speak with Loreile when she comes back from her break downstairs in the cafeteria
and the smell of coffee. I am hungry! I don't know whether this is a good idea?" he tells him with
his desperation.
"You know better Jethro?" he pleaded to him. However, he was going to give in in spite of his issues after
the surgery. "Okay, I will let you have some Chinese food like Chicken Wings and veggies. Is this alright with
you?"
With the shake of his head. "It's better than nothing at all!" he cried out with needing to drink more of his water.
"Let me have your cell phone? no doubt you have the number in your contacts?" he said with seeing the phone sitting on the table as he takes it to bring up the number that Gibbs tells him.
Meanwhile, Loreile knocked with having a container of three coffees for everyone as she heard Taft talking. "Hold on a minute." he places the phone on hold. "Do you want anything from the Chinese restaurant?"
She smiles..."Yeah, Chicken wings and two egg rolls." she was slightly miff with the order.
Moments later he turns to speak with Loreile. "See anything of interested in the Cafeteria?" he alluded with the question.
"The place was extremely busy with all of the employees rushing to get back to work on the different floors. How soon before the delivery order arrives?" she was hungry..." I have coffee for everyone if you don't mind?" she explained by moving the three containers out of the bag.
"This must be Christmas?" Leroy Jethro Gibbs makes the comment to the two of them and Loreile staring out at him for the moment.
"What?" his usual one-word comment was getting on his nerves.
"Really! You're really a pain in the ass?" she was being cryptical with her direct response.
"I will be right back to have my food. I need to head for my office to check on my messages and see if any of my other patients on this floor is doing okay while I am here." he quotes.
"Doctor Taft you're just as bad as my husband with his antics," she says with having to be coy with the both of them.
