There was no need to risk the former sniper getting bits of information that would cause an even bigger FUBAR situation than they were already in. While Tom respected Eliot and his ability to keep his mouth shut, he’d seen Gibbs break men more seasoned than Spencer was.
It was better to let Gibbs commune with his relaxant of choice at the coffee shop in the hospital alone and let him cool down. When Eliot gave a head nod in Gibbs’ direction, Tom shook his head slightly guessing that Eliot was asking if the man should be followed. God knows when Morrow had been Director, Gibbs knew better than to try and pull that bullshit intimidation act on him. Apparently, the rumors that the Gunny was preoccupied with his new Director were true. You’d think that with as many years that he had worked with Gibbs that the man would know he wasn’t someone he could intimidate. When Gibbs tried to glare him into submission, Tom just arched an eyebrow unimpressed until the NCIS team leader gave an angry huff and stomped off. He couldn’t help but get a little thrill out of knowing he still had the ability to command respect, and his inner Megalodon was practically preening with glee. He wanted to facepalm because all three men accompanying him were in plain clothes for a reason but knew that with the amount of time that they’d spent in the Marines that some things were instinctive. “Gibbs, I said enough,” Tom returned with steel in his voice and saw both Sergeant Major Eliot Spencer and Staff Sergeant Karun Basu straighten slightly. When I’m done with the good doctor, I will fill you in on what I know and then you and I can have a little heart to heart.” Maybe you need to go get a coffee or something and think about that. Pitt isn’t going to give you any information about Tony. “Gibbs, that’s enough,” Tom ordered with authority as he strode forward and held out his hand to shake Dr. Pitt with fire practically shooting from his eyes as he tried to get information on his agent, Tony DiNozzo. Rounding a corner, Director Morrow was proven correct when he saw Gibbs standing in front of Dr. Pitt on the phone, he knew that Pitt was just back from an assignment and was taking some time to work on a paper he was planning to publish when he volunteered to help out. Brad Pitt was a close friend of Tony’s, who volunteered to be a go-between, running interference for his actual doctor so the woman could do her job, instead of spending all of her time dealing with Leroy Jethro Gibbs. When they passed the nurses’ station, Tom saw Master Sergeant Moss Dougal veer off to explain the situation to the nurse as Tom continued toward the sound of Gibb’s yelling hoping that Tony’s Dr. Forcing himself not to roll his eyes, Tom turned knowing the men with him would follow and headed toward the sound of Gibbs’ voice.
Tom Morrow stepped off the elevator with an impatient huff because before the doors were even closed, he could hear Gibbs bellowing.
