"Tony what are you doing in Stillwater? Where's Leroy?" Jackson Gibbs spoke when he saw Tony walking down the street with Prentiss and Morgan.
Tony said "Gibbs is back at the navy yard I would guess. I am working with the FBI for a little while. You might say I took a break from NCIS temporarily."
Jackson blinked. "What in the blue blazes of hell did my son do now? I told him not to waste good."
Tony said " You might have to call and ask him, but he doesn't know I am here . It's about the girls who got kidnapped in a group of three and one didn't come home. Have you heard about that?"
Jackson nodded. "Bad business. Someone apparently remembers it from 1979 and is re doing it again."
Morgan said " Sir excuse me, you said this happened in 1979 ?"
He said " Yes, Molly Perkins, Tammy Griffith and what was the third girls name, oh right Patty Taylor. None of them were ever found though at least not alive."
"Near the time of graduation too. They were supposed to be starting out in life not losing it." He sighed and went back to sweeping the front steps of his store porch.
Tony said "Jackson thanks for your help and some new information, I still have the sweater by the way. Wear it when I am on down time now and then."
Jackson smiled. "Good son, glad it keeps you warm . Seems I have to talk to Leroy earlier than Sunday this week don't i?" He went inside the store again after resting his broom against one outside wall.
Tony said " That is Gibbs' father Jackson. Apparently he didn't tell him I am on hiatus from NCIS for a while. Oh well not my problem. How did 3 girls vanish in 1979 from this town without anyone reporting it to the police? And is this guy back again for more only there is a change in the pattern?"
Morgan smiled. "Well well cowboy now you're thinking like a profiler . "
Tony said "And you have known Fornell way too long, he is the one who calls NCIS people cowboys."
Morgan shrugged. "It just seemed like it fit. Reid is pretty boy already and Garcia is baby girl. I give people nicknames that I care about."
Tony smiled a little. "Well I will buy you a beer when this is over. I know a place with a really good burger and onion rings."
Morgan said "You're on my man for sure."
Tony dialed Hotch then. " Apparently back in 1979 three girls went missing from town here. They were never found. I just found out from Jackson Gibbs who owns the general store. Their names were Molly Perkins, Patty Taylor and Tammy Griffith. Around highschool graduation time so whoever did this has a thing about the spring or maybe doesn't live in Pennsylvania in winter."
Tony listened to Hotch. "Sure I will give the names to Penelope. Original unsub would be older by now if they were young in 79 right?"
He said "Sure I'll invite Jackson for dinner and see what else he remembers. He likes good lasagna sometimes ." "Thanks, I know him a little. He is Agent Gibbs father. We met on a case for NCIS a while ago. He can still shoot a Winchester pretty accurately too. Like father like son I would say."
