![]() It was a laugh, but there was no way in hell Tony was going to work in Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ hometown. And the former sheriff’s conviction for accessory to kidnapping and murder was the big kahuna. There were two deputies, an evidence clerk, and a secretary who ran a small-time blackmail and extortion ring, shaking people down for protection money. Almost everyone in the department was arrested for at the very least accepting bribes or evidence tampering. ![]() All of the rest were currently in jail, either awaiting trial or already convicted. ![]() But Tony’s research had shown a disproportionately high number of homicides in Cabot Cove and its surrounding area considering the small population.Īnd the kick in the teeth, the icing on the insanity sundae of his life since he called Harmon Rabb, was an offer to be the sheriff of Stillwater, Pennsylvania and basically staff the entire department except for two deputies. It was a tiny, dinky, little town on the coast of Maine. There was another offer from a tiny town for a position as an assistant sheriff with a promotion in a year when the current sheriff retired. The sheriff, Noah Stilinski, offered him a position as detective deputy sheriff and trainer if he joined their force and helped build it back up. There was an offer from a sheriff’s department in a small town in Northern California whose department had recently been attacked by a high school student and lost a large number of their deputies. His latest batch included several that, while technically within his wheelhouse, would be steps down rather than up or sideways like most of them. Tony was still getting plenty of domestic offers, too. It was beginning to feel like a joke and Tony was the punchline and the booby prize. But he felt like this was spreading insanely wide. Tony’s recent jaunt across the pond had just increased the ones from other countries, mostly private companies wanting him for various positions in their security divisions. Tony was even wary of opening any email at all when he thought about Harold Finch and the AI over watcher he’d created.Īnd there were still more email offers coming in from around the country and around the freaking world. His latest American Express statement had come in, and he was still wary of looking at it, thanks to Ezra. Over the past four days, Jack Carter had sent him twelve cat memes and thirty funny cat videos. Tony sat in front of his laptop, going through his emails.
