Dark Void
Chapter 18th
Loreile was very excited this morning. The both of them had gotten up early for the drive to Stillwater, Pa. Her husband was checking over the grey truck with gas, oil and tires while placing the supplies and clothing with changing later once they arrive at the old house.
It was a beautiful crisp morning. Loreile had filled up the canteen with the coffee for the drive. She had given herself the once over before walking out of the house. She had just finished up her cup of hot piping coffee to keep her alert for the long drive.
Her husband had walked into the house and the kitchen to let her know that everything was all set to leave. " I called Cal to let him know we are leaving. He's going to have the general store opened with sandwiches and soda pop ready for the both of us." He smiled with helping her up from the chair with heading into her seventh month of pregnancy and the bowling ball inside her stomach as she calls him having to be a boy that Gibbs likes with Shane Jackson Gibbs and as well for Loreile.
"Good I can't wait! By the way is Phineas outside playing ball with his Uncle George?" She needed to asked with Gibbs loving that boy a great deal.
"Yeah he is Loreile. I told him to stay across the street and finish up with his project for history." He quipped with his overall demeanor. "Shall we get started Loreile. Leon is going to be sending an email or text letting me know about how many agents will be helping out with the "OFF THE BOOKS" OPERATION." He helped his wife up the step with getting into the front seat.
"Thanks Jethro. Before we go I wanted to say "I love" for all of what you're done for me while we have been married and prior."
"No problem my love." Gibbs replied with moving to the otherside of his truck to get in and to begin moving with the trip and waving to both Phineas and his uncle.
When they had moved out passing the end of the street. There was a blue SUV watching them past them by. As the driver inside indicated to continue to drive off and tail them as far as possible without being seen.
Alverez aged 52 and a member of Hernandez for the past year drove off slowly. Though not knowing it was going to be a long drive for the most part.
Meanwhile Gibbs and Loreile didn't notice the vehicle until once they turned onto the major highway to get to Stillwater, Pa. Gibbs asked his wife to check back on whether she was able to notice the blue SUV tailing them.
"I see them Jethro. What are you going to be doing?" She had to be crazy not to know her husband's driving habits.
"Hold on tight my love! I am going to take off like a bandit trying to get rid of the tail." He turned with his lovable smirk on his face.
ALL OF A SUDDEN HE STEPPED ON THE PEDAL TO BEGIN MOVING QUICKING WHILE WEAVING IN AND OUT OF THE TRAFFIC GIVING HIS WIFE LOREILE HEART FLUTTERS.
Until finally after ten minutes he was able to lose the vehicle and continue on with their trek and making up some miles on the trip.
"Wow! That was amazing Jethro. Let's just hope they don't where we are going before the raid happens tomorrow?" She will asked with grabbing the coffee canteen to pour her some hot coffee while he had declined for now.

Stillwater, Pa was a small and quiet little town even though some new stores had opened up around the area along with a train route to bring in new patrons to visit the area and coal mines with only one opened owed by the Franklins mining corporation with 100 miners using updated machinery to remove the coal and transport out to a number of states.
The general store and the owner Cal Reece having taken over by Gibbs years ago has been doing really well the past years with having to hired another employee to help with stocking and deliveries. Cal had a deli down the street to bring in sandwiches and drinks for when Special Agent Gibbs and his wife will finally arrive for the day.
And at night will be staying at the old house that was owned by his mother and father. During the year the real estate agency would rent out four times a year for which they will stay two months each time. However at this time since the house is not rented at this time. It was a wonderful chance for Gibbs and his wife to stay at the old house along with the real estate supplying the food and drinks for the evening until they leave in the morning.
Driving into town finally around ten o'clock a.m. Loreile was amazed on just how beautiful the town was looking as with the Smallville train station for where her husband had first met Shannon a very long time ago.
Gibbs had stopped for a moment to remember those days of when things were much simple. "Are you alright Jethro?" She lightly touched his shoulder to break him out of his reverie.
"Yeah I am fine Loreile. Let's head on over to the general store. I know that Cal is very anxious with seeing us after all this time." He pulled away to head for the directions of the general store.
Weather wise it was just lovely for driving with not a cloud in the sky. "Are you going to show me your old stomping grounds for when it comes to the fishing with your father and friends from school?"
"Later we will be there momentary with trying to find a parking space. It seems that the store is busy with customers today?" He will reply with finding a space and walking a little with holding his wife's hand and enjoying the view.
