Chapter 1
Gibbs got a call on his phone. "Yeah, Gibbs."
"Hi Leroy," the voice said.
"Hi Dad. How've you been?" Gibbs asked. It had been awhile since he heard from his father.
"Pretty good, you?" Jackson Gibbs replied.
"Yeah, I've been alright."
"And your team? How are they? Tony, Ziva, Abby, and Timothy, right?" he asked.
"Yeah, they're okay," Gibbs said, "What's up?"
"Are you doing anything for Christmas and New Year's son?" Jack asked.
"No. I'm usually at work in between though," the younger Gibbs replied.
"Why don't you come back to Stillwater? Have dinner and celebrate here? It's been decades since you've been here for the holidays," the elder Gibbs offered.
"I've got a job to do Dad. I might not be able to."
"Can't Tony take over? I imagine that you all would need a break."
"Maybe Dad. I promise though, that I'll be there for a few days to visit."
"Thanks Jethro. I really appreciate it," Jackson said happily.
"No problem Dad. It'll be good to be in Stillwater to see the city with lights. Are you still decorating your store with the lights?" Gibbs asked with a slight smile on his face.
"Yeah, been doing that for years," Jack replied.
"Okay. I'll see you soon Dad."
"See you soon Jethro. Tell everyone that I say hello and happy holidays," Jackson said.
"Will do. Bye Dad."
"Bye Leroy."
