Off The Hook
Chapter 5
Inside the ambulance, the E.M.T.'S had to bring Gibbs back with the electrical charge to his heart having lost ground. Now that his vitals were stable, the ambulance will be able to speed quicker in order to get to the hospital.
Doctor Cyril Taft was waiting for his patient downstairs of the emergency room along with two other specialists that will deal with his shoulder and left leg. Taft was hoping that Gibbs's heart would be able to hold out once again with the trauma of being shot once again.
It was bad enough six years ago when Luke Harris shot Gibbs now living in California under Witness Protection.
Talking to the dispatcher on how long it was going to be for when the ambulance was going arrive. The young dispatcher advised the doctor that the ambulance will be arriving in five minutes.
Doctor Taft was worried for his friend as the doctors working with him at the entrance tried talking to him in regard to his patient's history. "I am afraid to say Doctor Greene asked on whether he's been shot before in the past besides getting hit in the chest and right knew.
"Certainly as an agent for NCIS, he's lived a dangerous and had been shot a number of times in the shoulder, leg, back, and neck. He's been one lucky man to be alive however it wasn't the same for his family 32 years old." Taft would say with seeing the ambulance arriving and Doctor Taft ordering everyone to be ready...
Jack Sloane Gibbs was home at the house when she had gotten the call from McGee at the site. She had dropped the phone afterward scared out of her wits that her husband was shot twice and knew nothing about the phone call and the kidnapping of Phineas.
She had told McGee that she will be driving to the Bethesda hospital. She was a total wreck with needing to take a cab over instead of driving. Calling the local Yellow cab arriving in ten minutes to be sitting in front of the house.
She had made sure that she had locked the doors inside the house before leaving and carrying her purse with the essentials and most of all her weapon.
"Driver take me to Bethesda hospital the main emergency entrance if possible." She stated with her heart rate beating fast and nervous.
"Right away ma'am." The young Indian driver will say with moving away towards the direction of the hospital.
Director Leon Vance had arrived at the scene with two other NCIS agents to help out. Even though he was here to talk with McGee further on the shooting.
He walked up to Timothy McGee looking like he had seen a ghost. "Are you alright Tim?"
"Not really Director Vance. Gibbs is on the way to the hospital while Bishop and Torres are searching the grounds for Phineas. There is another building in that direction that we think that he might be there sir."
"Let's go McGee and help them in the search," Vance said by pulling out his weapon from his coat pocket.
