Dark Void
Chapter 19th
Walking into the general store filled with all types of memories for Special Agent Gibbs. His wife Loreile as amazed on how lovely and quaint the place the was looking with seeing Cal taking care of four customers before he realized that his friends had walked in.
Heading the cash register ring again. Gibbs had looked around to see what Cal had added in regard to stock. He found something he needed when he gets the chance with fishing lures of several different colors and shapes.
Loreile found the makeup aisle that hit her eye with her purchasing two boxes of purple shades that she loves to wear all of the time besides blues and pinks. Using her credit card bringing it up to the counter. Finally Cal realize who the woman was when Gibbs came up as well with his purchases.
"GIBBS, I didn't see you come inside the store. How was the drive here?" He sounded excited with his tone of voice and coming out from behind the counter to hug Gibbs and give Loreile a kiss.
"That's alright Cal. I was surprised to see all of those customers and you really added a lot of new products to sell. It's a no wonder the store is busy." He will say with great pride. "Jackson will be proud of you with surviving all this time?"
Cal really didn't know what to say in regard to the general store. "Thank you. By the way I have food in the back as with drinks everyone and the house is ready for you with having been stocked with food and drinks as well. The new renters won't be moving in until next week for two months."
"That's fine. We will be leaving in the morning. Since I have an undercover operation at night to work with the other other agents." He and Loreile headed into the back with Cal asking about the undercover operation.
"I am afraid Cal it's mostly classified since it deals with trying to catch a terrorist for a long time and it's bugging me that he had slipped away from my fingers a number of times." Gibbs will say with Loreile seeing the tension on his face with talking about it.
Sitting down to eat. Cal went out front to take care of the customers that had walked in. They were inquiring about his friends Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his wife. Cal decided not to give out the information since he's never seen them before. "I wouldn't know them sir. I am afraid you have me at a disadvantage as to why you're looking for this man."
"It's not a problem. We will leave you alone with your work and the general store. It's a quaint little town I might add. Excuse us we will leave now." He was dark looking as with his friend wearing black suits and white ties with shiny black shoes. Gibbs had been listening to the conversation with the two men leaving the general store to walk across the street to get into their blue SUV vehicle.
Gibbs having to be careful was searching through the window to see where they were heading. He was able to get a partial plate. "Cal do you have any police friends here in town that can help us out?" He was worried that some of Hernandez men might of sent here in the first place ever since they were tailed earlier.
"Actually I do Gibbs. I will call Sergeant Calloway at the station and asked him to check on the plate. Just write it down on a piece of paper and I will give it to him. But in the meantime please eat and drink before going over to the house. Let's just hope that neither of the two men aren't hanging around?"
"I agree." Gibbs wrote it down for Cal to call his friend at the station only five blocks away from the general store. Gibbs and Loreile headed towards the back to sit down and eat or drink. Gibbs had taken out his revolver just in case they will come back to surprise them.
Some time later the phone rang in the general store with Cal taking care of a customer buying cat and dog food. Everyone had jump with hearing the phone and with Cal picking up the phone.
"This is Cal. How can I help you?" He will try to stay calm the best he could.
"Cal this is Sergeant Calloway I have the results of the partial print." He replied to have Cal letting out a deep breath and writing down the person's name on the plate. "Thanks Sergeant I owe you one." He will respond with hanging up the phone to give the name to Gibbs to have him chuckling.
"What's wrong Jethro?" Loreile had to asked with being concern with her demeanor.
"Fornell and his team no doubt was sent to watch us. I need to find out for sure before heading over to the house."
"I don't understand Special Agent Gibbs?" Cal will asked with not knowing the full extent of their situation.
"I will explain after I talk with my friend Tobias of the F.B.I. He brings up the number onto the screen of his phone.
REGIONAL OFFICE F.B.I. OFFICES Special agent Tobias Fornell
Fornell was in knee deep in work especially being included with the kidnapping of an eight year old. The kidnappers had given their terms of letting go the girl. The mother and father were putting together the funds to have her released.
His cell-phone started to go off with taking it off his desk while reading a file. He noticed his friend's name Gibbs on the screen and chuckled to himself before answering. "Hey! I figured as much you will be calling?" He stated over the phone.
"Hey!Yourself as well. Your men weren't all too bright with coming into the general store while I was there taking down the partial plate. Thanks for being worried my friend with the protection."
"You're welcomed! They will be staying until you and Loreile leave.I have another team later arriving to protect the both of you no doubt at the house?" Fornell jest with knowing where they were heading.
"We will be going to the house in a few moments. I suggest you or whoever let them know this Intel." Gibbs said calmly with turning to see the expression on his wife's face.
"Very well Jethro I will myself let them know. I need to go now I have a kidnapping case to be working on my friend. Have a good trip back to Alexandra?"
"Thanks." Gibbs ends the conversation telling his wife to get ready while advising Cal to be careful with closing the store.
