A/N: This is an unexpected chapter. I never even thought about what Gibbs would put in his journal until someone said something in a review. So I decided to add a little extra something. I also give credit to my bro, DJ Pop N Fresh, because he helped write this chapter. Enjoy!


Chapter 6.5 ~ Gibbs Journal

Day 1

13:37

I am feeling bored. I'm a bit tired. I'm very uncomfortable. I want a coffee. This is stupid.

17:12

The first time I have been able to eat something in 3 days and they bring me mush? Now I'm hungry.

23:43

Annoyed.

Day 2

00:13

For the past couple of days I have had this funny feeling. First thing I do when I get home, check the boat.

09:07

I need a damn coffee!!!

10:02

Nurse Jennings brought me some kind of brown liquid-like substance. She may be trying to kill me. I dumped it down the sink.

14:20

Abby and Tony stopped by after lunch for five minutes. He has a coffee in the car. I can smell it on his breath!

16:32

I ate the damn mush.

Day 3

09:13

If my heart doesn't kill me, caffeine withdraw will.

14:24

Even Jimmy would be acceptable now.

15:15

Called Tony to see what was going on with the case. It went to voice-mail. Called Ducky. He didn't answer. Called McGee, Ziva, AND Abby! Think I'm being avoided. Or ignored.

17:43

After the fifth time I called McGee, he finally answered and told me he was instructed to keep me away from the case; that I needed to rest. Wonder who I have to thank for that?

17:54

Bet it was Ducky.

18:24

DiNozzo! He did this to me. I'm sure of it. He's probably sitting at my desk. I wonder if he's hit McGee yet? Does repetitive head slapping count as extensive physical activity?

20:09

That's two cases they have closed without me now. It's not like I didn't think they weren't capable. They got along fine without me when I was in Mexico. I just feel so damn useless. What the hell am I doing? I'm actually writing in this thing now? If Tony found out about this, I would lose all power over him. McGee I could still intimidate. Ziva may be a bit more difficult to work with. I don't scare Abby anyway. God! I'm still doing it!

Day 4

08:00

Is this thing ever going to stop itching?

12:34

Ducky is coming by to get me in a couple of hours. I need to get out of here.

14:04

The guy in the room next to me died. I met him yesterday. He was in here from a heart attack, too. He was younger than me. He had a family. I'm lucky to be going home, but why do I get to go home?
