Out on the front lines

Chapter 14th

Loreile had given a big hug for her friend Leon after being given the news about the death of Hernandez and his regime. Walking him to the door at this late hour. She tells Vance to get some rest after all of the running around he was doing.

"I will Loreile. I am just glad this entire nightmare is over." He stated...

"Is it really Leon? I am going to try and start visiting my husband in the morning. Maybe he will be in a better mood now that he knows Hernandez is dead. I still can't believe it anyways."

"Well any rate the two undercover agents should be back in Washington, D.C. soon for the debriefing with the DOD. I am sure to receive a full report from them sometime soon. Anyways I am going home to change into my pajamas and get under the blankets and sleep peacefully."

"Me to Leon. Good night." She responded with watching him walk down the steps to his truck. It was his best investment with purchasing the vehicle a year ago.

She goes to closes the door to head into the kitchen to wash up the dishes before heading upstairs to sleep.

A month later Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs was finally released from the hospital. Doctor Taft and the rest of his team had thought it was the best to have Gibbs to fly the coop. His physical Therapist was happy with all of the results with his walking and other factors.

While Doctor Gilbert and Silverton had removed all of the bandages a few weeks ago with the program working and doesn't see reason as to why he wasn't able to try having sex. Unless mentally it was another matter. Doctors Grace and Sterling had a number of sessions with their patient and had thought that he was comfortable so to speak with the physical aspect of the act. It was going have to be up to him to get past it.

There was going to be a small party at his house. Before he arrives from the hospital in an ambulance. All of his NCIS team members, Vance, Elizabeth(Sister to Loreile), Phineas and a few others from NCIS.

Loreile and Madeline had catered the food enough for a small army. The food wasn't going to waste with Gibbs hungry and glad it wasn't hospital food. He had lost 20 pounds while being in the hospital. However he was going to make it up at home.

The ambulance was arriving with Gibbs sitting in the front with his cane and walker to use when ever he has a issue with his balance.

Director Leon Vance had helped his friend into the house with the medical technicians bringing in his things. Loreile handed them a small tip along with asking on whether they can stay for a drink. However they had to leave for another call with picking up a patient only a few blocks from here.

Loreile was so happy to have her husband home with helping him to sit down on his famous couch. Phineas was told not to hug his friend since he's only gotten out of the hospital today. Phineas told his friend that he had to leave. But that he was going to send him a email on his computer.

"Thank you, Phineas for coming. I am very much appreciate it greatly." He stated with his energy levels extremely high.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs couldn't wait to be alone with his family as the party was going well with everyone eating to their heart's content and including himself and his wife...

Gibbs needed to finally asked Vance on what the two undercover agents had send in their report to the DOD.

"Both stated that Hernandez was eventually going to be killed by his second-in-command Riccio, since his bosses were not liking the fact that the pipeline was losing a great deal of money with the Federal government catching up to them with the stoppage of the trucks coming into the states."

"Do we know that Riccio is actually dead as with the rest of his soldiers?" Gibbs asked with Loreile watching him from the kitchen talking to her sister Elizabeth...

"Yes, we do Gibbs. A team of DOD agents went sent in to check on the explosives used on the compound. And it was verified that they found his body as with the soldiers. There wasn't any life at all Gibbs. Now I suggest that you relax at home..." Vance said with finishing his drink before leaving as with the rest of his guests.

Once the last guest left the house. Loreile decided to asked on whether Gibbs needed to take a nap. He was tired and needed to rest a few hours. Before he's able to visit his son upstairs.

"I could use a nap after the long day. I am sorry Loreile I am being a party pooper right now?" He cried out with his face exhausted.

"No problem Jethro. Come on let's get you settled with giving your medication as well. I could use one myself after the past few weeks." She emotional said with her tone of voice.

Removing his shoes with only his black socks. Loreile handed her husband his two pills for the discomfort with his body. Making sure he was settled, she had turned off the lights to head upstairs to the bedroom to sleep herself. Changing into her blue nightgown for comfort. She wasn't going to try anything with her husband that it was still a touchy subject with him...

And hour later...

Gibbs was having a bad dream that was heard upstairs. He was moaning loudly from the dream that seem so real. The next thing he knew was the fact that Loreile was holding him in her arms trying to console him.

He opened his eyes to find himself embarrassed for the most part. "What happened Jethro?" She had to say with her body next to his.

"I don't wish to talk about it right now. I would like to try and sleep again if possible?" He announced as his wife backed off to head back upstairs angry at herself for not asking about the bad dream.
