Chapter 21

At Hospital

Gibbs starts to regain consciousness. He blinks his eyes a few times and look around and found himself in the hospital room and laying on the bed. He sighed in frustration and put his head back on the pillow and started staring at the ceiling of his room.

"Not again..." Gibbs whispered in frustration.

"Aah... you're awake. How are you feeling, Cowboy?" Sloane asked. She's there, seating on the couch and reading the newspaper.

"I am good. Just feeling a little dizzy. What happened? How did I get here?" Gibbs was feeling dizzy and confused.

"What? You don't remember?" Sloane put her reading glasses on the table and sit down on the chair next to Gibbs's bed. Gibbs shook his head in answer. He closes his eyes and tells her what he remembers.

"Not much. Remember that Stephen was going to shoot me but in the next moment, he was laying on the ground dead. I don't remember what happened after that. I only remember that someone unties me and then everything is a blur." Gibbs replied.

Gibbs tried to rub his face with his hands but he realized that his right arm was in the sling again. He noticed bandages on his both arms and his head as well.

"Well, we find out it's James who threatened Wayne and he was the one who was holding you hostage. I and McGee went to visit Wayne and he told us everything. So Kaise went through security footage and we saw it was Stephen. The day he met you at the solitary he was there to meet Wayne.

He lied to you, Gibbs. He waited for James and then they both went in together, just right after you left. They were working together Gibbs." Sloane explained how they figured it out. About Stephen and James.

"I already figured that out, Jack," Gibbs said in a rough voice. Sloane gave him water. After drinking the water he was feeling better.

"Well, when we arrived at your cabin James was already dead. And Stephen was going to shoot you. So I shot him dead. But my question is did you kill James?

Because you were tied up and in very bad shape. So if it wasn't you then who killed him?" Jack asked him with curiosity.

"Hey, Gibbs. How are you? And yes, we need some answers for the records, you know. Only if you're ready to give them. Or we can do this later." McGee said as she and Bishop entered Gibbs's room.

"I'm good, McGee. It's okay. Tell me what you want to know?" Gibbs said.

"Umm... well... everything. From the beginning." Bishop said as she shares her look with Sloane. Gibbs takes a deep breath and starts to fill them up with details.

"Well... when Jack called me to warn about James. He was already with me in my cabin. He said he was lost in the woods and needed some help. So I let him in but when I gave him my cellphone to make a call. He called Stephen and after talking with you when I turned around he knocked me out.

When I regain consciousness I was tied up. He said he wants revenge on me for killing Victor. And he's not the only person who wants revenge on me. He said he threatened Wayne and killed her wife. No... His wife is dead. He killed Wayne's wife." Gibbs suddenly started freaking out.

"No. Who told you that? Nick and Bishop brought her to the Headquarters. She's fine Gibbs. She's safe." Sloane explained to him. She takes his hand in her hand.

"Well, James told me that he killed Wayne's wife because he helped me and NCIS. I kicked him out of the cabin and because of that the rope broke up from the loop and I hit the ground. And then I started searching for my weapons and cell phone but found none of them. I searched for James and found my knife and cell phone.
