Off The Hook

Chapter 13

It was getting late for everyone and Doctor Grace and Special Agent Gibbs were having a battle of who was going to win the last hand with Gibbs having four kings and one ace, while Grace only had two aces with one king and two other cards.

Gibbs's face was looking like stone holding his cards and he wasn't going to bluff. While his wife was smiling since she had won with the last hand with only losing a few dollars. Tobias and Doctor Cyril Taft had lost the most for the night, while Vance lost a few dollars needing to stretch with the last hand.

Aunt Mickey was losing even though she wasn't losing her shirt. She as well had gotten up getting ready to leave. But first, she needed to check up on Phineas upstairs asleep. At least she hopes so that he was sound asleep and not on his laptop.

Actually, he was up on the laptop talking to Agent Elle Bishop in the hospital bored as hell.

"Bishop, where is Torres this evening?" Phineas needed to ask over his laptop.

...A moment later she came back with a response. "Working out in the gym to show off his muscles to the ladies there at the gym." She will say slightly annoyed that her future husband wasn't there at the hospital. But instead of the gym.

"Tell me something Bishop, are you jealous that he's there at the gym?" He had the nerve to asked not expecting her to answer.

"Yes, Phineas I am having to be stuck here in the hospital after being shot." She will shift forward slightly in her hospital bed.

Phineas was able to send a message back with needing to sign off with his aunt coming to check upon him.

"Good night, I will talk to you soon and feel better friend."

"Thanks and for your support. Now you need to support your friend Special Agent Gibbs."

"I will." As he ends the writing by closing down the top of the laptop to lay back down in bed when his aunt came in to see Phineas asleep with walking back out and downstairs to head that Gibbs had won the hand from Dr. Grace and with everyone getting ready to leave for the evening and home.

After saying good night to Leon, Taft, Tobias, and Doctor Grace. Gibbs and Jack were having to have Mickey and George stay even though he didn't play. He watched two western movies on Gibb's old tv that is going to be replaced soon.

With everyone leaving. Jack told Gibbs that she was going to go upstairs to check on Phineas and then head for bed. "Hey! Why aren't you going to sleep with me on the couch?" He insisted with a smirk on his face that Jack Sloane knew all too well and what is going to happen now that he was out of the hospital.
