Blown
Chapter 24th
She had been watching her husband's face while she had been eating her food. She noted that something else had been going on with him...
"Hey! What's wrong Alden?" she had to ask him with taking a bite of her rib-eye steak.
With the shake of his head. "I really don't know Catherine." while he took a bite of his steak. "Ever since we have come here especially myself I have been embroiled in different scenarios for when it comes to my job and with going to NCIS for the different cases. However, I have heard about the different relationships for when it comes to Special Agent Gibbs team."
"How so, even though you do know after telling me that Gibbs is going to be working at the NCIS Acamedy as an instructor instead of being the team leader after such a long time?" Catherine snapped back.
"Any maybe why now with the new agents on the team is now different with the chemistry and I think Special Agent Pride and Senior Field Agent knows this after all that has happened with the team and Gibbs?"
"It always takes time with any new team to get into a groove Alden?" Catherine replied.
"You're right. Well, no matter I can't eat anymore. I am going to save this for later as a snack while I get myself ready for the trip to the hospital to speak with Gibbs." he barked out with his response getting up from the chair and with his wife shaking her head in disgust for the most part.
Bethesda, Hospital
Special Agent Gibbs had been bored after finding nothing on TV, even though he had his laptop to see if he can find anything on NETFLIX.
He was able to find a world war two movie "MIDWAY" relaxing with the laptop sitting on his lap in the chair instead of the bed.
Since the bypass surgery, he's been feeling rather good for a change. Even though his mind had been on the recent Local Cartel on the attacks on him mostly. His wife Marcie having been released from the hospital after collapsing, had been taking it easy at the house writing, tv, sleeping, and eating.
Halfway through the movie when there is a knock on his hospital door.
Special Agent Alden Park had walked in to be greeted by Gibbs turning off the TV with the remote. "What's on your mind Special Agent Park?" Gibbs sighed with raising the bed higher in order to see his face and body better with his language.
Park had pulled up a chair with Gibbs looked over at his head having to be a silver fox as well. "So tell me Special Agent Park how long have you been working for the F.B.I.?" he inquired with the question.
"25 YEARS mostly with only transferring into Washington, D.C. to settle down here for good." he takes in a deep breath.
"And yourself for NIS and NCIS combined?" Park will ask even though he had read his profile given to him by his own director for the regional office.
"30 plus years, and before that, I was in the Marines as Gunnery sergeant. Anything else that you probably know already?" he said with annoyance in his tone of voice.
"Touche!" Park quipped with the word with sitting back in the chair. "I need to tell you that the Local Cartel will be coming after you again and your wife Marcie and this time they will be coming full force needing to be rid of you and Marcie for good?" he comments with a deep breath to see his face.
"So what else is new Special Agent Park? my friend Tobias Fornell before leaving for Costa Rica was always telling me the same thing as well." Gibbs sighed with his response.
"Speaking of which have you heard from your friend?" Park needed to ask the question since he didn't know the agent at all.
"He sent me a text message telling me that he was settled. Otherwise, I have no idea what he plans on doing the month there in Costa Rica. For all, I know he could actually be working on a case without your knowledge." Gibbs sighed with his comment to really have Special Agent Alden Park thinking.
"If this is the case Special Agent Gibbs you're friend is taking the risk with the dangers of being there in the first place?" Alden noted with his comment.
"If you do find out Special Alden Park, I will like to know?" he suggested with Alden Park to be shaking his head with approval.
"I will find out tonight with calling my regional supervisor even though I will no doubt have him pissed off with bugging him with the question or rather if it's classified?" while loosening up with his jacket.
"Thank you, Special Agent Park. No doubt you're had an earful ever since you're arrival in Washington, D.C.?
"You can say that again Special Agent Gibbs?" Alden needed to comment to him.
"Please call me Gibbs or Jethro?" Gibbs quipped with his words in bed.
"Okay, I will call you, Gibbs for now. What does your wife call you?" he had to know just for the hell of it.
Chuckling..."None of your business Special Agent Park!" Special Agent Gibbs cried out with the shift in his bed and a slight grimace on his face.
"Are you alright Gibbs?" Alden was concern with asking the question.
"I will be Alden. It's just the stress mostly catching up to me in spite of having the bypass surgery," he said with a deep breath.
"Do you wish me to call for a nurse in order to make sure you're fine Gibbs?" he had gotten up from his chair to grab the call bell without notifying the nurse's station.
"Please don't Alden!" he whispered slightly with his response and with not bothering to be the poke and podded with the doctors again.
