Next morning Gibbs woke his head buzzing with ideas, but then again he couldn't remember them, maybe he should have that pen and paper by the couch. In his mind he had changed Jen for Ziva and had Tony as Enos, they played off each other well. Tim was going to be Cletus Hogg, he also had a thing for Ziva, but Abbs, he couldn't quite fit her in or could he….But Gibbs began to wonder was he becoming like Tim, it was becoming too easy to imagine your co-workers in roles.

The story

The Garage

The Sheriff's car was in at Cooter's garage again, 3rd time in 10 days. Cooter was decked out in a red overall, he was inspecting the vehicle all over with a torch, but looking down at Flash said, "Looks like them Dukes ran Boss Hogg's finest off the road again." Flash just looked back and barked.

"So call me Crazy Cooter, but them Duke Boys certainly know how to mess the suspension," not hearing Cletus Hogg appear in the forecourt.

"Talkin' to yourself Cooter?" Cletus questioned.

"Nope, talkin' to my buddy Flash here," Cooter smiled looking down at the dog who barked, "He's such a help, I wire up a camera and let him scooter about under the car, saves me getting dirty. You ever miss leaving the junkyard and becoming a sheriff?"

"Yep and nope, I miss doin' what you're doin', but at least I get to ride around in a police car looking important," Cletus replied.

"This ain't a social call is it?"

"Nope, Boss Hogg wants me to find them Duke Boys, Sheriff Edward Thomas Little of Chickasaw County filed a complaint. You ain't seen them today have you?" Cletus sighed.

"Big Ed? What the boys done this time?" Cooter asked.

"Usual, crossin' county line to evade Rosco, but Big Ed pulled his trusty 12 gauge and open fired, thinks he got the General Lee, so wondered if it had been in for repair," Cletus replied.

"Nope, but could ask them yourself," as Cooter pointed to the street and the General Lee pull up.

"Howdy Cletus, looking for us?" Luke enquired.

"Yep and nope, but Sheriff Little wonders if he hit the General. Fired on you boys, or so he says."

"Sure did, but didn't get us. Think Cooter you got another car coming in shortly," as Bo sounded the horn and they sped off into the distance.

"Good for business is all I can say, but you goin' to the barn dance Friday?" Cooter asked Cletus.

"Yep, I gotta get a dance with Miss Daisy."
