Out on the front lines

Chapter Four

Doctor Cyril Taft in his office. He was writing up a report on his patient Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. His head was still shaking after all of the time he and his associates in Somalia, Paraguay saving Gibbs life. The man just has more than nine lives...

He had a headache all of a sudden remembering the time he saw Gibbs hanging down on that pole and Torres throwing up after seeing the sight. He had to push Torres away to have the agent recover until he was up to the task of his work.

There was a knock on his office door with him telling who ever to come on inside his office. Getting up for the moment it was Loreile coming from her husband's ICU. "How did it go for you, Loreile?" He asked with taking off his glasses for a moment.

"It was rough Cyril. I believe it's going to be a long haul for him with what happened to him. He's not going to be the same man that I know and love. But I will be there for him with my support." She stated with anger with sitting down in front of his desk. "I can't believe he was more worried for when it whether came to him performing in bed with me?"

"Of course! Any man will be worried for when it comes to pleasuring you. I don't know as with the specialist on whether he will be able to have the blood flow and circulation restored. However with the steroids and cell regeneration it will probably help him like the last time. I have never seen anything like it Loreile with what the eye witnesses were saying when we had arrived. I am writing up a full report and I will be sure to give you a full copy with your clearance."

"I have the general idea on what happened with my husband Jethro telling me some of it. When he woke. He didn't wish to stop talking and no doubt when Hollis Mann comes back to visit. He will be doing the same with his non stop chatting."

"Let him, Loreile. It's how he's going to vent on what exactly happened to him in Paraguay. When he was in Paraguay with McGee and gone for those two months. Doctor Grace has told me that he didn't speak all that much about the experience. However it eventually came out with the sexual abuse as well and McGee had keep it to himself for almost a year."

"OMG! I didn't know Doc. Why wouldn't Jethro want to say anything to Doctor Grace?" She needed to know with asking the question.

"I would have to assume that he was embarrassed about the entire situation Loreile. Since you're here now did he finally fall asleep?" Doctor Taft replied with rubbing the back of his neck.

"What's wrong with your neck?" She noticed with wanting to offer with giving him a massage.

"A nagging pain in my neck and shoulders from the tension of coming back from Somalia, Paraguay. It was the long hours of working on Gibbs and than waiting on whether he was strong enough to travel back to the states. We had to keep him a sleeping instead of a coma and finally getting him back here."

"Would you like me to rub your neck and shoulders? It helps everytime I help with Jethro and his tension of the job.

"Please Loreile." As she gets up from the chair to come around to be behind him and his chair. She had taken the lotion that was behind him on the counter and placed a small amount on her hands to begin massaging his neck making all types of noises to feel the tension leave him as with his both shoulders. She was able to feel all of his muscles let loose to have the doctor feeling better.

"How does that feel Cyril?" She stopped to wash her hands with using the white towel that was in his makeshift bathroom.

"Wonderful! Now I need to finally go home and talk with Catherine since she was upset at me for leaving the way I did. She knows it was important any ways with Gibbs life in the balance."

"Good luck with that Doc! And besides Catherine loves you for a long time and ever since Paul died. Hopefully with the new pregnancy will make up for it?" She will remark as it did with losing her daughter Elizabeth and now with Shane and pregnant once again.

"I hope so Loreile. By the way did Jethro talk about taking a long vacation?" He asked on the off chance he will mention it.

"He did and he wants to take us to Paris to visit Ziva, Tali and even Tony along with senior. I am going to love it any rate with being together as a family. Shane needs to be with his father and his mother together. Our lives have been upturned because of this monster Hernandez now dead. Even though Doc I know that someone else will be taking over his spot when the heat if off."

"I spoke with Jethro about this on the flight over to Paraguay and he had mention this fact and the possible off chance that he wasn't coming back to alive and what Hernandez might of done to him and he wouldn't be able to fight him." Taft said with sadness with his persona and demeanor.

"I know. He said the same thing to me as well on numerous of times making me so mad that he would think this way. When he was nothing like that when I had met him at SECNAV Celebration party being forced to go by Director Leon Vance." Loreile smiled with remembering...

She was dancing with Leroy Jethro Gibbs to a slow tune since he hated dancing accept for when he had gotten married four times. When he had told her this fact. She had to chuckled at him with the beautiful expression he was making. He turned to look at her face..."What?" He asked in his gruff voice with the tiredness and the pain of being in Paraguay being gone for the two months with his senior field agent Timothy McGee.

"You. For the way you're acting with the dancing. Plus I can't believe you have been married four times?"

"Three times divorced. However my first wife Shannon and my eight year old daughter were murdered in a car crash. However it's a long story. I don't wish to bore you, Lt. Baskins."

"I have all night Jethro. Please call me Loreile." She replied with the music changed to be a little quicker as he was able to keep up with her following along. Director Leon Vance was watching the two as with the SECNAV members...

After the dance was over. Once again they were heading for the food table.

Coming back to reality. She needed to go on home and get some sleep. While Shane was being taken care of by Madeline.
