Sorry I havn't updated, but it's been hard for me to think of what to do next. Sorry this is going to be short.


(Chloe's Pov.)

I was in the bullpen, gathering stuff from my desk.

"What are you doing," Derek asked. the others had gone to do, who knows what, leaving me with Derek.

"Getting ready to go,' I answered.

"Were?"

"The old Edison group building."

He growled. "No, Chloe. You're not."

I looked at him, angrily. "I'm an NCIS agent. I can do what I want. And you can't tell me what to do." I looked down. "Not anymore."

He looked shocked, but didn't argue back.


We left, me driving, and headed for the building. I know Gibbs hadn't decided whether or not I should go, but I needed answers. It was killing me. I didn't know what exactly I was feeling on the way there, but it was a mix of fright and a dead, blank feeling.

We reached the building, and I got out first. Derek sniffed the air, and nodded, signaling it was okay. I walked closer and I could feel a sort of presents, but I didn't see anyone.

I moved some rubble, and found what used to be a door. I pulled it away, and hoped down into the area below. I grabbed my flashlight, and turned it on.

"Chloe," Derek said. "Don't. I can't fit down there."

"Then I'll go," I said. I was not going to turn back so he could protect me.

"I don't think that's a good idea."

I sighed. "I'm getting the files. End of story."

I walked on, the sounds of Derek's yelling getting softer. I went through the twists and turns, and finally found the offices. I pulled out every folder, and every paper, and found a large file with Miss. Talbot written on the top.

I gave a little peak, and saw photos of her out by her house and at the grocery store.

I heard a noise, and thought it was Derek. He must have gotten down the hole.

I started walking again, and I thought I saw something go up the hole, but it was quick, too quick to be Derek, and see though. I shrugged, thinking it was my imagination.

I started to pull myself up, when something grabbed my arm. I looked up into the face of Dr. Davidoff.


(Derek's pov.)

I stood by the car, grumbling about how stupid she was being. I heard a noise by the hole she went down, and i looked over there and saw her pull herself halfway up, before stopping.

A look of fear crossed her face and I was about to ask her what was wrong when the remands of the building came falling down.

Trapping Chloe inside.


good? bad? worth the wait? probably not.
