Taking out his cell-phone when Melanie his secretary knocked on the door to advise him that he had a meeting at the Pentagon with General Wilson in two hours remaining him of this fact. "Thank you, Melanie I will be sure to be on time."
She walked out with Vance telling her to close the door before making his call...

Doctor Cyril Taft had come back into the hospital to check on his star patient in ICU. He needed to find out on whether he was behaving with the nurses and his sexual charm with the ladies. In spite the fact he's married to a beautiful woman Loreile carrying his child to be delivered soon...
"Hey Doc! What's up?" Gibbs will asked with trying to get comfortable in bed feeling the pain throughout his entire body.
"Remember I am your primary care physician Gibbs. Your blood work had come back to be in good shape after all. However we will need to give you additional iron pills to bring up your blood count slightly."
"I would of thought with giving me four pints of blood would help to bring it up?" Gibbs acting somewhat like a doctor now with his expertise.
"Oh, really! Now shit up Jethro while I check you out with the bandages." Taft had to say with Gibbs shutting up his mouth when his cell phone was going off. "Tell whoever is calling to call back another time." Doctor Taft said with annoyance in his tone and lousy demeanor.
"It's Vance and I need to answer this about Willie Lopez." Gibbs exploded with his words directed at Taft.
"Go ahead and answer it Gibbs." He said loudly with handing him the phone sitting down with his anger building deep inside his gut.
"Leon how did it go?" Gibbs asked over the phone.
"It went well Gibbs with Willie on the way to the airport with the two agents. I wished him all of the best with his new life at the safe house in Arizona. However he's going to be needing some help with breaking his drug habit and if he is strong enough. He's going to be able to do it with a new lease on life in general."
"Did he happened to give all of the details on where my favorite foe might be as with his flunky side kick?" Gibbs looked over at Taft stewing in his chair waiting for him to finish with the call.
"He did Gibbs. I will discuss it further with you another time. I have a meeting with General Wilson at the Pentagon. Take care my friend." Leon said with ending the phone call and with Taft finally able to finish up with his patient.
"Gibbs, you need to stop this. Certain tests had come back to indicate that there is a possible chance you're going to have a heart attack. Your body is giving up on you with all of this abuse. And you need to take it easy as advice from your doctor and friend. Understand?"
"So what you're saying is the fact I won't be able to do my job proper?" Is what Gibbs needed to say.
"I am just telling you to slow down or else you will land up into the grave. Let alone this mad man Hernandez trying to kill you." Taft will check with his blood pressure and finding that his heart rate was normal right now.
"It's my job Cyril to find this bastard in order for me to rest finally. And I want you to keep this heart attack scare away from my wife. I don't need her to worry about it with the pregnancy?"
"Understood. Otherwise you're making this difficult for me anyway seeing you hurt all of the time." Taft needed to say with telling him that he was done with his checking. "I am going to go. I suggest you try and take it easy as much as possible. So sleep now my friend." Cyril will place a gentle hand onto his shoulder before leaving for his rounds.
Meanwhile Taft met with Loreile in the corridor of her husband's room. "So how is he Doc?" She needed to asked with carrying flowers and a card in her hand.
"He's recovering Loreile. Gibbs needs to sorta take it easy my dear. He's been through a great deal of late." He replied with a cryptic sound of his voice.
"How well I do know it Cyril. However I know the both of you are lying in every way to protect me. And I won't allow it any further."
"And what is this supposed to me Loreile?" Cyril needed to know on not liking the way she was saying in the first place.
"Nothing. Now if you will excuse me I need to visit my husband. These are for him as with the card. Maybe it might cheer him up a bit." She walked away to knock on his door before entering.
Gibbs had his eyes closed for a brief moment when he realize that his wife had just walked in bending down to kiss him quickly on the brow.
"Is all I get Loreile is a peck on the brow?" He chuckled slightly even though he grimace again from the pain and discomfort.
"It serves you right Jethro." She placed the multi colored roses into a container with water. While handing him the card.
"Very pretty the roses Loreile. I love them a great deal as with the card. It was very nice for you to give them to me." He opened the very emotional get well card with words inside from her on how much she loved him a great deal.
He was silent for a moment before she kissed him this time on the lips with all passion.
