Back at the warehouse, Hollick had stopped stabbing Tony, but was really starting to lose it. He was curled up on the cold cement floor, holding his knees. His dark blonde hair is sweaty and hanging over his angry green eyes. Reid just stared and studied Hollick while Gibbs discretely fished his knife out of his belt and tried to cut himself loose from the ropes. Hollick came out of daze when he heard the sounds of sirens pierce the silence in the dark and cold room. He got agitated and grabbed the gun off the ground he had taken from Gibbs and left the room, locking the door behind him. Gibbs cut himself loose just as Hollick left.

"Are you two okay?" Gibbs asked.

"I could use a few stitches." Tony said jokingly. Gibbs gave him a half smile as he cut the ropes off of Tony.

"Where exactly did you get a knife Agent Gibbs?" Reid asked confused.

"Well kid we have rules. Rule nine is you never go anywhere without a knife." Tony said as Gibbs took off his jacket and tied it around Tony's arm to stop the bleeding. "Thanks boss."

Gibbs then walked over to Reid to get the tight ropes off of him. Reid was pretty beat up. His forearm was visibly swollen and red from Hollick nearly twisting it all the way around. Just like Tony and Gibbs, Reid's face and hands were dirty.

"You okay Reid?" Gibbs asked.

"Ow!" Reid grimaced in pain. It hurt like hell when Gibbs simply cut the rope off his hands. "I'll be alright." Reid lightly rubbed his injured wrist when he was free of the ropes.

"Please get me out of these!" Layna said crying. Gibbs got her black and blue arms out of the ropes binding her hands together and her cut up legs out of the rope. Once she was free she gave Gibbs a big hug. "Is that the police?" she asked with her face buried in Gibbs' chest. It sounded like the sirens were right outside the building.

"Yeah that's probably the rest of my team. You're gonna be okay." Reid said. She smiled at him, but her happiness turned to fear.

JJ, Morgan and Prentiss pulled up to the vacant warehouse with their sirens blaring. All of their faces read that they worried about Reid, but no one said anything. They jumped out of the suburban as soon as Morgan stopped it.

"Split up!" Morgan said urgently. He ran up to the door with the girls and didn't hesitate to kick it down. They took off in three directions looking for Reid and the others. JJ ran up the stairs and found a hallway with a metal door at the end of it. Holding her gun and flashlight, she walked up to the door in the dark building. She grabbed the handle and opened it slowly. She pointed her gun in the room, but put it away when she saw Reid on the ground.

"Spencer!" she said urgently. Reid was so happy to see her, but he was really sore.

"JJ, Hollick is still here." Reid said.

"We'll find him. Are you okay?" JJ asked worriedly as she helped him stand up.

"I think Hollick sprained my wrist and he hurt my knee pretty bad." Reid said.

"Ouch." JJ said. In the back of the room, Gibbs helped Tony get up then turned his attention to Layna. He helped her up and walked with her to the door as they started to walk out. Just as they closed the metal door, a gun fight ensued downstairs. They all froze in their tracks. Gibbs had Tony hold onto Layna with his good arm then got his back up gun off his ankle.

"Stay here." Gibbs said. JJ lowered Reid down against the wall and followed Gibbs as they ran down the stairs.

"Emily? Derek?" JJ yelled.

"JJ!" Emily yelled weakly. She and Gibbs turned the corner and saw Emily bleeding on the ground and Hollick just ducked out of sight as he ran through an open door.

"I got him." Gibbs said as he ran after him with his gun in hand.

"Derek!" JJ yelled as she put her gun away and knelt down to Emily.

"Where'd he hit you?" JJ asked.

"My leg, right here." Emily said in pain as she held the back of her thigh and pointed to where she was bleeding.

"Where's Derek?" JJ asked.

"Outside calling Hotch." she said as JJ pressed her jacket against her leg.

"Stay here I'll be right back." JJ ran out and got Derek inside as the rest of the team pulled up. Derek ran to Emily while JJ filled them in.

"Emily's been hit she's bleeding, get an ambulance!" JJ said urgently.

"What?" Hotch said in shock.

"Where are Tony and Gibbs?" Ziva asked urgently as they all ran inside.

"Upstairs with Reid and Layna. She's alive, but she needs an ambulance too." JJ said. Rossi called for paramedics as they ran inside. Outside the building in the back, Gibbs was chasing Hollick through the alley.

"Stop! NCIS!" Gibbs yelled at him. He took a shot at Hollick, but Hollick dodged it. Gibbs pointed his gun out all the way in front of him and took another shot. That shot hit him dead center in the back and he fell flat on his face. Gibbs walked up to his body and saw his face was smashed. The paramedics got there a few minutes later and got busy. Tony, Gibbs and Reid were treated on the scene, Layna and Emily were taken to the hospital and Hollick went out in a body bag after he succumbed to his injuries. Hotch walked up to Reid as the paramedic wrapped his wrist.

"You okay Reid?" he asked as he put his hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah I'll be fine. Thanks to Agent Gibbs. You're right he is a great agent." Reid said. Hotch smiled and said,

"Yeah he is. It's over now."

"Layna's gonna be okay. We did good today Hotch." Reid said. He patted Reid's shoulder and said,

"We did."

He started to walk away as JJ walked up to him.

"How's Emily?" Reid asked.

"She'll be okay. You ready to go? I'll drive you home." JJ said. Reid got up from the ambulance and put his hand on JJ's shoulder.

"Thanks." he said. He and JJ drove back home just as the sun came up. It was a long and exhausting investigation for everyone! Once everything was said and done, everyone went back to their dysfunctional families.
