Stillwater, Pennsylvania

1150 Hours

After getting an earlier flight out to Scranton, Gibbs, with Ziva, Fornell and Agent Butler in a rented white Dodge Avenger turns on to Main Street and finds the street blocked off by Pennsylvania State Troopers. "Sorry sir, you can't drive down here." Trooper Suzanne Thurman orders him.

Gibbs shows Thurman his badge. "NCIS, Special Agent's Gibbs and David."

Fornell leans over and shows Thurman his badge. "FBI, Special Agent's Fornell and Butler."

"Lieutenant Levin is waiting for you down at the crime scene." Thurman informs them.

Stillwater Volunteer Fire Company has been deployed to assist the State Police with keeping traffic off of Main Street, moves two yellow sawhorses from the intersection so that Gibbs can get through. Gibbs as he drives past the firemen. "I'm going to check in on my dad first, I want you over at the crime scene Ziva."

"Ron Delgado is still in surgery from what I understand." "Lynette Mearns, who was the girlfriend of Leo Mansfield, is being held at the State Police Barracks in Hazleton." Fornell sharply says.

Gibbs pulls up in front of a closed barber shop. "My dad is in the craft shop, next door." "I should be only a few minutes."

"Gibbs take your time." Ziva softly says to him.

Upstairs, Jack and Enid are playing chess to pass the time. A few minutes later, Gibbs walks in. "Leroy!" Jack affectionately calls to his son. Noting the emotion on Gibbs' face. "Enid, could you give us a few minutes."

"I'll make lunch." She smiles and gets out of her chair and leaves the room.

"Leroy I'm fine." Jack tenderly reassures him and gets up from his chair.

Gibbs walks over to his father and throws his arms around him. "Dad you had a close call." Gibbs answers, choking up with emotion.

"Gantry our whole Sheriff's Department is gone." Jack swallows.

Gibbs tightens his arms around Jack. "Don't worry dad, if it's the last thing I do, Perry will be brought in." Gibbs vows.

After composing themselves, Gibbs and Jack are out in the living room couch. "I want you on the next flight out to DC." Gibbs orders.

"Leroy!"

"Dad, your store is an active crime scene and everything has to be replaced." "There is no point in staying here until the insurance company does an estimate on the damages."

"I'll do it under protest, but the minute my store is repaired I'm heading back home." Jack scoffs.

"Deal!" Gibbs smiles and flips open his cellphone.

"Who are you calling?"

"Jenny, she wants to talk to you and I'll have her make the travel arrangements for you to fly down to Washington." "While I'm over at the store I'll pack for you."

Fifteen minutes later, Gibbs is out in front of the store and notices the markers on the ground where Gantry and his Deputies bodies were located. "Jethro!" Fornell shouts from inside of the store.

Gibbs walks inside of the store and takes in the damage that was caused by the shootout. "This is going to be at least a month or more." Gibbs frowns.

"How's Jack?" Ziva asks with concern.

"Holding up, I told dad that I want him on the next flight to DC."

"I'm sure Abby will like that." Ziva smiles.

"Your dad runs this store by himself." Fornell says with surprise.

"Along with LJ's granddaughter Louise." Gibbs smoothly answers.

Butler whose standing behind the counter, spots the photo of Perry. "You were right; somebody did tip your dad off about Perry and his associates."

"Abby tipped him off." Gibbs sharply answers.

"So where do we go from here?" Fornell asks.

"After I pack for my dad, we'll head over to Bloomsburg and question Lynnette Mearns, see where Perry is headed to next."

Gibbs and Fornell are sitting across the table from Lynnette Mearns. Wanting to know where Perry is headed to next, Gibbs and Fornell begin to question the Lynnette in a manner of fact way. "Where's Perry headed to?" Gibbs asks and hands Lynnette a pack of cigarettes.

"His ex-girlfriend's house in Benton, Simon wanted to see his son, before he crossed the border into Canada." Lynnette answers.

"Well that's not going to happen now; Benton Police moved Cindy Sloan and her son Rory to a safe place until Perry is captured." Fornell answers.

Lynnette unsuccessfully tries to light up a cigarette. "Here let me do that." Gibbs gently says and lights Lynnette's cigarette for her.

"I take it you're a smoker?" Lynnette asks.

"No, and when I did it was just for an op that I would be working on." Gibbs smoothly answers and gets back to the subject at hand. "Does Perry have a cellphone?"

"No Ron had the cellphone, Perry didn't believe in carrying one with him, he watched the 'CSI' shows and knows that the cops could easily find his whereabouts." Lynnette answers.

"How did Perry, Ron, and Leo meet?" Fornell curiously asks.

"In prison, they did their stint together in Frackville; Leo bragged that they could make big money by robbing banks and starting up there own meth lab."

"I know they unsuccessfully tried that in Leesburg, Virginia." Fornell snorts.

"I told Leo it wasn't a good idea hooking up with Simon and Ron, they were bad news, but he wouldn't listen to me." Lynnette answers with tears streaming down her face. "He promised me that he would straighten out once he got out of prison."

"Sometimes promises should never be made." Gibbs swallows.

Ten minutes Gibbs, Ziva, Fornell, and Butler are sitting in a diner eating lunch. "Ziva, my dad's flight to DC is at 1600 Hours, I want you riding in the car with him."

"I'll be happy to do it." Ziva smiles.

"Ron Delgado's Doctor said that we can talk to him at 1700 Hours." Fornell says in between bites of his hamburger.

"I don't think he knows more than what Lynnette Mearns knows." Gibbs sighs in frustration.

"Sooner or later there's going to be a lead to where Perry went next." Ziva answers.

"And when it comes in, we'll be there to bring him down." Gibbs firmly says wanting to bring justice to the people that Perry, Ron, and Leo had murdered along their destructive path.

Bloomsburg Hospital

Ron Delgado's Room

With two FBI agents standing outside of Ron Delgado's room, Gibbs and Fornell are standing a few feet away from the doorway talking to Ron's Doctor, Mellissa Offerheimer. "No stress Agent Fornell and Gibbs." Offerheimer sternly warns them.

"What about the stress on the families on the people he's killed." Gibbs growls and walks into Ron's room.

"I'll play good cop." Fornell smirks.

"I'll be standing by the door and if you or Agent Gibbs gets out of bounds I'll have you thrown out."

"We won't." Fornell reassures her and walks into the room. "You got off pretty easy, your pal Leo had the back of his skull blown away."

"Who the fuck are you?" Ron snarls.

"FBI, I'm Special Agent Fornell, this is NCIS Special Agent Gibbs."

"NCIS never heard of it." Ron laughs and gingerly sits up in bed. "You investigate little old ladies who cross the street."

"No I investigate crimes against the Navy and Marine Corps, which by the way, the Marine that your buddy Perry shot at in the bank hold up in Fairfax died on the operating table." "His wife is expecting a baby."

"Let me shed a few tears for the little wife." Ron laughs.

Fornell steps in front of Gibbs. "Gibbs he's not worth it."

"Let's see if he finds the humor when he's locked up in solitaire confinement for 23 hours a day in his cell, that's where death row inmates go." Gibbs icily answers.

"I have nothing to say to you." Perry bitterly says.

"Why not Perry left you in the dust?" Gibbs laughs and then takes a seat in a chair next to the window. "How did Perry put it, you were a liability and he wanted to cut his loses."

"That bitch!" Ron angrily snaps.

"Yeah, Lynnette sold you and your buddy out." Fornell grins.

"It won't do you any good, with the three cops getting killed, Perry knew that Lynnette would rat him out and altered his plans, where I do not know." Ron shrugs.

"Yeah, you would rat him out." Gibbs chuckles.

"Perry, Leo, and I took a blood oath in prison."

"Yeah, where did that get you?" "You'll be in a prison hospital in a few days, and hopefully Perry will either be joining you, or your buddy Leo in the morgue." Gibbs smirks.

Jack walks in through the front door with Jenny following him from behind and is instantly attacked by Abby. "Jack!" She squeals with worry.

"Abby I'm alright; you're just as bad as Leroy." Jack chokes.

"Abby, release Jack, before you choke him to death." Jenny laughs and closes the door behind her.

Jack smelling dinner out in the kitchen. "Something smells good."

"Dinner should be ready in a half an hour or so." Jenny softly answers.

Abby takes Jack's suit case and carry-on bag from him. "I'll take this up to your room." Abby smiles and walks up the stairs.

"Why don't you settle down in the living room until dinner is ready, in the meantime I'm heading upstairs to get out of this suit?" Jenny smiles and walks up the stairs.

Noemi walks in from the kitchen. "Senor Jack!" She warmly calls out to him.

"Noemi, whatever you're making in the kitchen smells good." Jack drools.

"Chicken Pepperoni was linguini pasta, and garlic bread."

"Then it was well worth Leroy forcing me to come down here." Jack smiles.

Upstairs, after getting out of her suit, Jenny has changed into jean shorts and a red number 28 Jayson Werth, Washington Nationals t-shirt. She's about to step into the bathroom, when she finds Abby checking out the newly remodeled bathroom. "You can actually swim inside of that bathtub." Abby teasingly says to Jenny.

"I got my Jacuzzi tub, Jethro got his spa shower."

"So I noticed, kinky." Abby winks.

"Really Abby!" Jenny sighs in annoyance and walks over to the sink and begins to take off her make up.

"You look good without make up."

"So Jethro keeps telling me, but I cannot leave the house, wearing a four thousand dollar suit and five hundred dollar heels without wearing makeup, I draw the line there."

"Same here, once I'm decked out in my Goth ensemble I have to have my black make up on."

"I noticed an overnight bag in the living room."

"I feel better being here."

"You're welcome to the pull out in my study."

"Yeah besides the couch was Gibbs' bed." "How he sleeps on it is beyond me."

"Abby Gibbs use to sleep on top of his worktable inside the hull of his unfinished boats."

"Well I sleep in a coffin, so I shouldn't judge." Abby laughs…"I better see if Noemi needs help setting the table." Abby nods and walks out of the bathroom.

"And trust me I slept many a night on top of his worktable." Jenny grimaces at the memory of getting drunk from back in the day down in his basement, and waking up naked in Gibbs arms inside the hull of the unfinished 'Diane'.

Out in the parking lot near the JC Pennies entrance, Gibbs, Ziva, Fornell, Butler, State Police, and Bloomsburg Police have Simon Perry's panel van taped off. "With I-80 not to far away, there's no telling where Perry maybe by now." Gibbs sighs in frustration.

"Not to mention, there is a bus that picks people up at a Uni-Mart next to Bloomsburg University." Trooper Larson informs Gibbs and Fornell.

"Multiple buses, he could be in New York City, Allentown, Philadelphia, Williamsport or across state lines in upstate New York by now." Bloomsburg Police Sargent Schaefer interjects.

"Ziva call-"

"McGee and have him update the Leesburg Police on what's going on." Ziva interrupts.

"Does she read your mind Agent Gibbs?" Trooper curiously asks as he watches Ziva on her cellphone.

"No my agents anticipate." Gibbs smiles with pride.

Back at Gibbs' house, Abby is watching TV, Jenny is upstairs in her study, and Jack is down in the basement drinking bourbon out of a mason jar. "I hope Leroy gets that son of a bitch before another family has to bury one of their own." Jack sadly answers and holds up his mason jar. "To Ed, you and Leroy were never friends, but you were a damn good Sheriff, you didn't deserve to go out the way you did."
