Inside

Jack, Vivian, and Sam looked up as the man ushered Elizabeth and Martin over to their sides. "Where's Jesse and Danny?" Sam asked, as they were duct taped with their hands in front of them. "Martin?"

"They're both dead," Martin said, as tears began to run down Elizabeth's face. "Jesse took a dive over the side of the building and Danny took five shots to the chest."

"I hate these guys," Elizabeth said, causing Sam to look over at her. "All Jesse ever did was stand up to me and look where it ended her. A nice drop to her death."

"We know, sweety," Sam said, as she looked over at the men. "We know."

Hanging on the side of the building

"Ouch, this hurts," Jesse said to herself as she fought to get her rope free of the window ledge. "I really don't want to take that nice long fall." She got it free and she swung out onto the side of the window. "Okay, that didn't work like I had planned for it to go." She then slowly began to climb back up the side of the building. At the top, she paused before climbing over. She froze when she saw Danny lying flat on his stomach. "Oh, God, no. They killed Danny." She careful made her way over to his side and touched his arm. She was shocked to find him warm. "Taylor."

"What?" Danny moaned as he slowly lifted his head and looked up at her. "Hey, you went over."

"And you got shot." She slowly helped him up and she touched his chest to feel a vest. "Ah, but you came prepared. Smart, Taylor wearing a vest and all."

"I learned that from a smart girl that I know." That got a small blush to cross Jesse's face. "What happened to the others?"

"They got captured." Jesse peeked into the window and saw them sitting around each other. "Yeah, they got themselves captured. Here I thought you F.B.I. guys were really smart, and knew better than to get caught."

"We try." Danny slowly got to his feet only to sway, as he lost his balance. Jesse caught him before he fell to the ground. "Thanks."

"We better get off the roof before those guys come back." They then headed over to the side where the back stairs were. "What would you guys do without me?"

"Probably get shot and all." They then headed down the stairs. "How did you not get shot when you went over?"

"I got caught on a window and it pulled me out of view." She then shot him a smile. "Let's go get some people to help us rescue our people."

"Sounds like a great idea." They got to the street and headed off to get some back up.

Inside

"What was she thinking?" Elizabeth asked Martin, as they watched the men began to pace. "I mean, diving off over the side like that."

"That's Shep for you," Martin said, as Sam moved closer to their side. "Shep is just that kind of person."

"What's she really like? She said before that she could pick locks and stuff. Is that true?"

"Yeah, it is. Jesse learned all those things from her father and at the time thought that it was the only way to make him proud of her."

"That's horrible." Elizabeth then paused and looked over at them. "How do you know here?"

"I caught her trying to break into my car."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

"I would never had taken Jesse for one to steal cars."

"I'm afraid there's a lot more to Jesse than you know about."

"Can you tell me about here?"

"Sure, we can do that."

Outside

Jesse and Danny watched as the five trucks parked three blocks from the warehouse. "Took you guys long enough," Jesse said, as the agents came out of the vehicles. "Hi."

"What's the plan?" the head agent said, as he looked over Jesse at Danny. "What's the situation?'

"They got your people hostage," Jesse said, as she pushed past him and grabbed onto a black bag from the truck. "Cool, you brought my stuff."

"What of the girl, sir?"

"She's still alive," Jesse answered for Danny, as she slid on the bag. "For a matter of time. The moment those men realize that they can't get my dad free, they're going to start shooting them."

"Shut up!" the man snapped at Jesse, as she looked over at him. "I wasn't talking to you girl."

"I know." Jesse then headed back towards the warehouse. "And I wasn't talking to you either." Then she was gone.

"She's got a lot of nerve talking to me like that," the man said to Danny, as he watched her leave. "Idiot child."

"Actually, she's smarter than you." He then turned towards a map of the warehouse on the hood of the vehicle. "Okay, here's the situation." He then went into complete detail of what had happened and where the others were. "We got us a plan to get them out of there alive."

"Yeah, we do." They then looked up when Jesse came running back at them with fear in her eyes. "What? Did you see a ghost?"

"Yeah, I kinda did," she replied as she grabbed onto Danny's arm and pulled him aside. "Bubba's here."

"You're kidding right?" Danny asked, as she tried to catch her breath.

"No, I'm not. I thought he was in jail. I thought you guys put him away."

"Not yet." Jesse then shot a glance back at the road. "Are you sure it was him?"

"Yeah, it's him." She quickly ran a hand through her hair before putting it up into a pony tail. "I don't think he'll be all that much of a trouble. I can stop him."

"How's a child like you going to bring a man like Bubba down?" the agent asked them, as Jesse began to dig through her pack. "Ask him to let you punch him."

"No," Jesse replied as she turned on the agent with a stun gun and sent him to the ground. "I was thinking more like that."

"That works," Danny said, as he came to her side. "How about we go rescue the others?"

"Sounds like a plan."
