I apoligise for my long absense, I forgot to mention I would be away for a while. I don't feel too bad as I am not sure if anyone is reading this fanfic, so i shall continue for my own sake :(
Previously: Mel is looking into the car where Tim, Tony and Ziva are tied up
She didn't have the time at the moment to free any of them, but she did pull out her bag and hung it over her shoulder.
She hid behind the car. She waited a minute or two for the assailant to come and find her and started to force out a few fake tears (poking her eye a little did the trick). So by the time the man came up to her she looked completely defenceless, and as he was about to grab her, he was completely surprised when she kicked him in the groin and pushed him over on the floor (just what her dad had told her to do to protect herself; well the tears were her idea).
His gun fell onto the floor and she picked it up and ran back to Gibbs. He was awake but cable tied, hands and feet. She pulled out a Swiss army knife out of her bag and cut them both off in a matter of seconds.
Then she gave the gun to Gibbs and said "everyone's a little tied up in the car" and pulled out her inhaler to take a little puff.
By the time Gibbs got back to the car with Mel, the attacker had fled off the scene.
"He's gone for now" Gibbs said. "Nice work Mel".
"Rule 1# always be prepared" she said to herself.
"You untie Tony and Ziva in the back, while I sort out Tim"
"On it" as soon as she said this he had to force out a little smile, as she seemed to be acting extremely mature and was definitely a marine's daughter.
First Gibbs checked over the car, once he deemed it safe and Gibbs got into the driver's side and started to cut Tim free with his own knife, being extra careful with Tim's shoulder, which woke him up quite abruptly.
Unfortunatly for all of them, Gibbs was checking the wrong part of the car.
Meanwhile Melanie had cut through Tony and Ziva's cable ties. They were both still conscious. They had seen everything Melanie had done and were amazed.
"err... thanks" Tony said amazed that a seven year old defended herself like that, was carrying around a Swiss army knife, and wondered what else she had in her bag.
"Yes, thank you Melanie" Ziva said exiting the vehicle.
As soon as they were all out Gibbs and Mel heard a *click*
"Bomb" Gibbs yelled.
They all started running Ziva and Tony helping Timothy.
It went off a matter of moments of them running away.
The blast was directed up but the force of the explosion forced them all down and Mel hit her head hard on the pavement as she went.
Any thoughts??? Any Comments??? ANYONE??
