Chapter 10
"Damn it" Gibbs muttered as he put his phone away, without conscious thought, he pulled the car over and parked a short distance form George Flynn's house.
"Problem Boss?" Tony asked whilst breathing a sigh of relief that once again he had survived a car ride with Gibbs
"Yeah Abby discharged herself" he muttered getting out of the car
"Well she is a big girl Gibbs and they were letting her out today anyway" Tony tried to reason, not understanding the big deal. Gibbs glared at Tony but stayed silent, not trusting himself to answer.
He strode over to the entrance of the run down one story house and rapped on the door loudly. Tony stood slightly behind him and too his side, his every nerve ending on alert. After a moment Gibbs rapped again
"NCIS federal agent's, open up" he called out, his tone serious and angry. After waiting and hearing no sound, Gibbs motioned for Tony to go round the back.
Tony walked round, checking the area and any windows, he came to the side gate and pushed it open, to reveal a garden strewn with rubbish and debris. His eyes clocked a car in the garden but he chose to ignore it for the moment. He made his way slowly to the back door and peered in through the grimy windows, but the house looked deserted. He tried the door handle but it was locked, he took out a hanky and wiped the window next to the door slightly, so that he could peer in better, but the house still looked deserted. He jogged back to the front of the house and met up with Gibbs, who was peering in the front windows
"No one's home boss, but there is an 80's Chevy out back, cant be sure but I bet it's the same tread as the ones we found at Abby's" he told Gibbs.
Gibbs looked at the house silently for a moment, then turned and looked at the neighbourhood, his eyes assesing the houses. Suddenly Gibbs jogged across the quiet street and walked up the path of a well maintained front garden, rapping on the door.
An elderly female voice called out
"Who is it?" Tony jogged up and stood with Gibbs confused
"Federal agents Ma'am, I wondered if I could ask you a few questions?" Gibbs called back loudly but calmly
Slowly the door opened and a small white haired woman in her late 80's opened the door partially, Gibbs held out his badge for her to see
"Agents Gibbs and DiNozzo, NCIS Ma'am" he said as she looked at the badge and then up to him
"Navy boys, my husband was navy" she said as she opened the door, a huge grin breaking her face "And handsome ones too" she smiled "shame your not in uniform, I do like a man in uniform" she chortled, causing Gibbs to smile, and DiNozzo to grimace
"I wondered if I could ask some questions about your neighbour across the street, George Flynn?" Gibbs asked her softly
"Him!" she declared in disgust "Horrible dirty little man, haven't seen him since last night, properly looking for that strange wife of his" she said peering across the road as if she could see him now
"Strange wife?" Gibbs prodded
"Yes always dressed in black with chains and things, she looked like something out of a horror movie" the old lady said, shaking her head, "But she hasn't been around for a few weeks, just disappeared" she said. Tony and Gibbs exchanged a look
"Thank you ma'am, you have been very helpful" Gibbs said turning and moving back to the street, Tony following quickly.
Gibbs jogged up the path to Flynn's house and pulled out a pick lock, he looked over at Tony and grinned
"Probable cause" he said as he pulled on rubber gloves and set to work picking the lock, Tony watched in fascination as Gibbs skilfully worked the rusted lock
"I would have just kicked it" Tony said ruefully, pulling on his own gloves, Gibbs smiled at him
"Yep you would have" he agreed "But then he would have known we had been here" Gibbs said straightening up as the lock clicked and the door swung open.
Gibbs and Tony searched the house but found nothing incriminating or of interest, except for a greasy hairbrush, which Gibbs pointed out to Tony
"Get some hairs for DNA analysis" he told the younger man, loving being able to delegate things that were less than pleasant.
When they left, Gibbs carefully closed the door and left secure in the knowledge that Flynn would never know they had been there.
He pulled out his phone as he walked to the car. talking as he climbed in.
"McGee get over here to Flynn's address and tell me when he returns" he demanded, then he smiled "There is an old lady opposite who might let you watch from her house" he said seemingly being kind, thinking about the sparkle in her eyes at two men on her doorstep, she would love McGee he thought with a slightly evil enjoyment.
Tony chuckled beside Gibbs in the car
"You are evil boss, really evil, she will eat McGee up for breakfast" Tony laughed, Gibbs smiled at him
"Yep, and your staying here with McGee" he added, reaching over Tony and opening the car door for him.
Gibbs waved as he drove off, leaving a bewildered Tony standing on the road.
