Days in the Lives of Jethro Gibbs and Family

Chapter 34 Leroy Jethro Gibbs

How did he catch us so quickly?  Did our buddy give us the wrong scoop on this guy?  They told us that he didn’t do fieldwork any more and had moved up to administration and was no longer a threat? That made the Navy guys slim picking if we could run our scam without ‘Sheriff Do-goody’ on our backs.  Word on the street was his former team wasn’t really anything we had to worry about.  Only one of them had any real fieldwork experience and the other two were what we call ‘desk jockeys’.

It took us months to work out this plan and it worked perfectly until that one slip up and they caught us red-handed.  But I didn’t give up without a fight.  I thought that I could take down the old guy.  I mean he’s old enough to be my father or even grandfather, if that gray hair is any indication.  So I did what any young blooded guy would do.  I hauled off to hit him, he ducked and caught me in the jaw and knocked me out cold.  When I came to I was in the back seat of a patrol car.  To add insult to injury, when he took us to NCIS for questioning, my guys ‘sang’ like canaries.  Once we made it to lock up I asked them why did they give up all of that information.  They looked at me and said,  “Man you’re weren’t there.  That guy looked like he would have left us ‘under the building’ if we didn’t tell him what happened.  I’d rather serve my time than get on his bad side.  That dude is scary.”  Unfortunately I agreed with them.

Just a warning to any criminals out there stay clear of any crimes under the jurisdiction of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service or NCIS as they are known and one totally bada** Leroy Jethro Gibbs.  I don’t care if he’s in the field or behind a desk.  STAY OUT OF THIS GUY’S WAY if you want to live a long life.
