Inside of the Bar Wayne pointed his gun at Gibbs head. But Gibbs didn't saw any kind of fear in his eyes. He just smile at Wayne. Wayne puts his gun on the table and start laughing.
"Either you're brave or you're very stupid. But I like your courage. I can see fire in your eyes. So tell me why did you come here all alone and unarmed with this drive. I know that you are not that much stupid to risk your life like that. Now start talking." Wayne said to Gibbs. Gibbs shoulders start aching but he didn't even try to cut loose his hands. He looked at Wayne and slightly nodded.
"Well, I want revenge on U.S. government ... Before he finished his sentence the guy who's beating him laugh. But Gibbs continued... Because they betrayed me. I was a good marine, the best one. I risked my life many times I took bullets for this country. I was decorated marine until I found out drug trading in marine base. I started investigation on my own and I keep digging until I find out who's running that drug trade. I report that to my superiors but they're also involved in that trade. They're having upper hand and they Framed ME." Gibbs started faking his anger... he yelled as he finishes his sentence.
"All of this why now? " Wayne asked him with curiously.
"Because I have to spend 4 years of my life in jail.That bastards knock me out and drugged me. When I was wake up I was in interrogation room and handcuffed like CRIMINALS. They have my blood reports I was investigated by those bastards who were really guilty. I was dishonorable discharge because of that I didn't get any benefits from Corps. I don't have place to live. I spent more than five years as homeless people. I was war hero like you. We know you saves many people's lives in Iraq and risked your life for them.
And what I get. Humiliation and notoriety. When I saw you first time I thought you will help me to clear my name. It doesn't matter how many years passed. But when I find out you're same person as them. I changed my mind and started following your every single move and get your calls records And every information about Russians deal. Now I want to work with you for money. A Lots of Money. "
"I really feel sorry for you Steve. I really am. But I can give you a chance to prove your loyalty for me. " Wayne said as he puts his hand on Gibbs shoulder in sympathy.
"I already did." Gibbs replied confidently.
"And how?" Victor The guy who beat Gibbs asked him in sarcasm .
Gibbs laugh at him. And spits some blood on the ground. Almost on his shoes.
He's about hit him but Wayne stop him.
And said " Stop. He's right Victor. Now be a good dog and stand down."
"Yeah, Victor stand down." Gibbs taunted him. He look at Gibbs with anger.
"You bring this drive to me because you want to work with me. I like smart people Steve. But one question is still bothering me. " Wayne said and started circling around the chair that with Gibbs is still tied.
"Shoot.. but can you untie me so we can talk like Gentlemen." Gibbs replied without breaking his eye contact with Wayne.
"Only one person can't get this much information in details. Who's the other person Steve?" Gibbs think before answering his question because he don't want to drag Sloane in this shit. But he has no choice Thanks to Vance.
"My wife. She's in Navy too. With her help I got all these information. She's on desk duty at Pentagon." Gibbs replied with smile.
"And if you don't mind can you please untie me Now. "
Wayne laughed and waved his hand at Victor. Victor immediately untied him. Gibbs rubbed his wrists and suddenly get to his feet and punched Victor in nose as hard as he can. When he heard crunching sound from his nose he feel satisfied. He smiled with devil look on his face.
Victor was surprised by Gibbs's attack and was about to hit him back. Before he could punch him. Gibbs make him fall by using his marine tactics. And showed him on the floor. And was ready snap his neck. But he didn't. And got to his feet.
"I underestimate your physical strength too Steve. Like they said Once a marine always a marine. And you lady get up now." Wayne said after watching how easily Gibbs take Victor down with lightning speed.
Gibbs just gave him small smile. But that open the wound on his lip. He turned to Victor. "Need some help LADY. " Gibbs said as he offered his hand to Victor. He push his hand away and stand up by himself.
Out side Sloane's fear was rising with every single second. She opened the door and get out of the car and starts walking back and forth. She waited long enough. She was about to call Vance to informed him about this situation and tell him to send backup. But before she could make call she feels someone was behind her. She reached for her gun but a hand caught her and make her turn around. She raised her hand to hit that person but that person blocked that blow and twist her hand behind her back. It was Gibbs.
"I think I already got that enough, M." He tell her with smile.
"Oh..God. Gibbs " she whispers his name. "What happened to you. Oh... God. You look bad. " she was scared like hell. She cover her mouth with her hand. Then she touches his face gently.
"Aah... Hey, that's hurts. " Gibbs grunted as pain strikes his face.
"You are very stubborn and stupid does anyone told you that ? Unh.. I don't understand why do I care so much about you after knowing that you would do what you want to do. I was waiting for you here and you put yourself in grave danger. When you are going to stop playing gamble with your life, Gibbs?" She was very angry and started crying watching Gibbs in bad shape. Gibbs hold her in hands and pull her close and give her hug. She's crying like little girl.
"I was so scared Gibbs. I thought you'll never came back. I thought I loose you. I don't won't to loose you Gibbs. I can't even come inside to look for you. And sitting here and waiting for you was like hell. If we're not working on this stupid assignment I will never let you go alone. And listen to me very carefully Don't you ever do that to me again you understand that..." she yelled at Gibbs as she push him back away from her.
Gibbs hugs her again and whispered.
" It's okay, Jack. It's okay. I'm here.. I'm here now. Shhh... it's okay. Now let's get out from here. My body is aching like hell. And we have to update Vance too."
He kissed her head and then they get into car and heading towards their house.
After reaching their house Sloane was cleaning Gibbs injuries. Gibbs was upset and Sloane notice that. She caress his bruised face and asked him with concern "Hey...Cowboy. what's in your mind? And don't say nothing because I can see it in your eyes. " Gibbs raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah. After all I'm your wife, Steve. And being a good wife it's my duty to take a good care of my husband." She's said that like in typical wife's tone.
Gibbs tried to avoid her question but he replied " Oh..really! I didn't notice that, that my wife really cares about me. And worried about me. But did she knows how much her husband Loves her."
Gibbs finally decide to tell her about his feelings for Sloane. He caress her face in his rough hands and lean closer to her. His beautiful piercing blue eyes looked direct in her eyes and in very soft voice he tell her about what he feels for her. And repeat it again.
"Yeah, I love you. Very Special Agent Jack Sloane. I really do. I was scared to share my feelings for you. But now I realize that how much you meant for me. That moment when I was tied to that chair and Wayne pointed his gun at me I don't know what will happen next. Hell ... I don't even know I will make out of it alive or not. And you're right I was playing gamble there.
I was also not sure that my plan works out or not, but I take risk because I wanted to caught this bastard. Everyone thinks he's a hero who saves many lives but he's nothing more than dirtbag. I'm a gambler Jack and I risk my life for whom I loved. And you are one of them.
I know there's no need of your presence in this assignment. But Vance knows I would do anything to stop this people and risk my life without hesitation. And that's why he assign you to hold my leash tightly. He create boundaries to control me. And I think you know that too."
Jack was surprised, shocked and happy at once. Gibbs who barely said a word he just confessed his feelings for her. And everything about what he feels. She's overwhelmed and tears flowing like river in her eyes. She said nothing but hugs him tightly and whispered in his ear.
"I Love You Too. My Cowboy. " they both started kissing each other. Gibbs kissed her back very passionately. His hand ran on her back. And she was leaning over him and her hand grabbed his hair as she stared kissing him on his chest, neck and cheeks.
"I heard you two came back from the Bar." Vance's voice interrupted them. Gibbs sighs heavily and replies. "Don't tell me that you're keeping an eye on us with your toys, Leon. Because I will not appreciate it. I love my privacy even while I am on on going assignment. You should respect that DIRECTOR."
"I do agent Gibbs. And I'm not keeping an eye on you. You just have to do is answer your intercom." Vance said.
Gibbs and Sloane look at each other and laugh. Then both came in the living room to answer it. Sloane answer it and Vance face appear on small screen.
"What happened to you Gibbs ?" Vance asked with concern.
"It's a complementary from Wayne before joining him in his business. What do you want Leon?" Gibbs trying to make fun here.
"How about an update? So you had done your little stunt successfully. So he was convinced and ready to work with you. That's a good start."
"That was not that easy Leon. Not at all." Gibbs replied.
"Yeah, I can see that on your face agent Gibbs. We'll start our next move in tomorrow morning. Now take some rest and Gibbs take some painkillers it'll helps you." Leon said and pulling Gibbs legs. Gibbs rolled his eyes.
"Well thank you for this villa leon." Now it's Gibbs turn.
"It's on short notice. Agent Gibbs try to adjust. See Jack is not complaining about it. "
"Because she's taking bed Leon. And I've to take couch. " Gibbs replied and Jack punched him on his shoulder gently.
"Well it's looks like you two are enjoying each other's company. Good for you Mr.and Mrs. Gibson. Good night and be careful." Then Vance disconnect the line.
Gibbs and Sloane looks at each other and Gibbs asked her with big smile on his face. "Shall we continue what we started? "
Sloane just nodd in reply.
