Now a round robin
This chapter BY Rodlox
'Go back there' a voice whispered in Gibbs' ear. Gibbs looked
around, but saw nobody within whispering range.
He flagged down a doctor. "How is she?"
'Waiting for you' replied the whisper.
"Excuse me?" Gibbs asked, not sure he believed what he was hearing.
The doctor -- name tag read GAMIYEL -- looked at him as if to say
that Gibbs should be the one being checked out. "She needs to keep
her arm elevated, and..." and the rest of the instructions were heard
by Gibbs.
'Return, return to her' the whispers encouraged.
"...and that should be just fine," the doctor finished.
"Thanks," Gibbs said. "There a coffee machine around here
somewhere?"
'You don't want coffee. You want Kate.'
That, more than anything else, convinced Gibbs that the whispers
weren't just his subconscious . . . "right?" he asked himself after
Dr. Gamiyel had pointed the way to the coffee vending machine, and
left Gibbs alone.
Gibbs stood at the fork in the corridor. To his left was the hall
that led to Kate. To his right was the hall that led to coffee.
