Hey, sorry for taking so, so, so long to update, but things have been happening at home and all that, and then the other day when I had been going to update, I couldn't because I got hit by a car (stupid me). Anyway, I know this is a short chapter but I promise to upload more at a later date, but defiantly before Christmas.
Chapter Ten
It was dark when the front door of Dani's house was knocked on. Annie and Callen glanced subtly at each other before looking over at Chloe, Katia and Cassidy who were all asleep on the other couch, before Annie stood up and pulling her gun from her waist band and made her way to the front door as it was knocked on once again. Annie stood with her back to the wall as she opened the front door with her gun pointed subtly out the door in case it was Ashlyn, though as Annie looked she sighed with relief to see that it was only Gibbs standing there with another slightly older man, who she knew to be Mike Franks.
'Come on in, but be quiet. Cass is sleeping,' Annie told them as she opened the door slightly wider, allowing them to enter before she looked outside quickly checking for any signs of Ashley outside.
Gibbs and Franks walked into the hall and waited while Annie closed the door and put her gun back into her waist band. She smiled at Gibbs and Franks before showing them into the living room, where everyone was sitting. Dani looked up questioningly, as Gibbs took off his jacket upon seeing that Cassidy didn't have any of the blankets, and placing it over Cassidy, who briefly opened her eyes enough to see that it was Gibbs before she closed her eyes again.
'Right, Gibbs, this is my sister Dani, and her two daughters Katia and Chloe. Dani this is Leroy Jethro Gibbs, G's ex-partner and the one person who both me and G trust with our life's. Everyone this is Mike Franks. Franks this is my sister Dani, her two daughters Katia an Chloe, my brother G Callen, his junior agent Kensi Blye, my bestfriend and handler Auggie Anderson, and finally my niece Jessica Cassidy,' Annie introduced, as she watched Dani carefully glance over at Cassidy, Katia and Chloe.
'Okay, what is going on here?' Dani asked, when she thought that Cassidy, Chloe and Katia were fast asleep, as Gibbs carefully checked out the window before turning to Callen, leaving Dani's question completely unanswered.
'The informant died so that she could get to you both, it was her that did it, and from what we know, she's making her move tonight, when we least expect it, so we need to sort out a plan of escape. Any ideas?' Gibbs told Callen and Annie, as they watched the three kids carefully just in case they woke up when they were speaking.
'Right, if she comes, Dani, Katia and Chloe go with Cassidy and Auggie out the back way, and Cassidy takes them to the safe house. Then Gibbs, Franks and Kensi head off after Cassidy and Auggie. Me and Annie hold off Ashlyn for as long as possible and hope that we get out of it,' Callen said, as Dani stood up and glared down at Annie and Callen.
'What is going on? What are you both talking about?' she asked with a hint of anger, as Cassidy stood up and walked over to Gibbs and hugged him tightly, while Callen answered.
'Ashlyn Cazare, also knowing as Cassidy's other aunt, is trying to kill us so we have to make suree that you, Katia, Chloe or anyone else is injured, hence why we are here, Deeks is in Flexi, while Sam, Tony, Ziva and McGee are working cases in LA. So if Ashlyn turns up you, Katia and Chloe are going with Auggie and Cassidy to get out of here, and don't argue it,' Callen told her firmly as Chloe and Katia woke up as well, just as a bang was heard followed quickly by three thuds and then banging at the front door.
'Go, go, go,' Callen order as he handed over a gun to Auggie and a knife to Cassidy, while Dani grabbed a hold of Katia and Chloe's hands, before following Cassidy who had a hold of Auggie's hand out of the back door, and down the garden towards the back wall.
'Auggie you go over first, then Chloe, Dani, Katia and Me. You ready?' Dani heard Cassidy say as they stood at the bottom wall. Dani stood watching as Auggie grabbed the wall with help from Cassidy.
'Chloe, I'm gonna bunk you up, and I want you to land next to Auggie, okay, then your mums gonna come over, followed by Katia and then me,' Cassidy told Chloe, as she looked at the Seven year old in front of her, before she boosted her up and over the wall. They waited a few seconds before Dani pulled herself up and over as well.
Cassidy quickly checked over her shoulder, just in time to see someone coming around back, so quickly she picked up Katia on one side, before back stepping and running at the wall just in time to bounce up and over, before she heard the others running off in the other direction.
'We better go,' Cassidy told as she adjusted her hold on Katia, before grabbing a hold of Auggie's hand, and began to lead them down an old wooded track that lead away from the house and city.
