A/N: Sorry for the delay folks, I had this ready to go days ago but the internet was down for days :( But it's back! so YAY! To my latest followers/favourites welcome aboard! To all my reviewers, you just rock!

I know I left it at a big cliffhanger, so let's get on with it..

Tripoli was flooring it, he was concerned & knew he wasn't alone, every occupant in his car was. They'd gotten word about the company their fellows agents had & were doing their best to reach the required spot on the highway. He'd also called Taylor & managed to get the LA unit to divert from heading to Stillwater to come to them. Apparently they were the best placed team to get to them without having to double back to get to them. Taylor said his team, the Miami & Seattle teams were all somewhere along the highway that lead straight into Stillwater, so they'd either have to turn around or go through Stillwater & keep going, that would take too long. He hoped the LA team could get there fast, or better, hoped they wouldn't be needed! Just as Taylor was, who he knew had tensed even further, if his language was anything to go by that is.

Tripoli tensed when they finally came into sight of the whole mess, he cursed "Fuck! Banks, call the LA Team, check on their ETA! We need them, fast!"

"Yes sir" Banks replied from the back seat.

Tripoli had only worked with Franks for a few years himself before the man retired but that was enough time to know that he could be counted on to pull his weight in this situation "Right! I'm going to go off road, Maurice, you & Banks, will jump out & back up Fornell, Mike we're going ahead to the others"

Mike nodded "Agreed" that's where he had to be! He owed Gibbs so much & this wasn't looking good.

"Yes sir" Maurice replied, he readied his gear & Banks's as he was still on the phone, he knew they'd have mere seconds to bail out.

Mike could see that Fornell & his guys were managing to keep their assailants at bay, but they still hadn't gotten them out of the car, nor managed to get them to stop shooting, if he wasn't so concerned about the the spinning car he saw up ahead & the other one going to toe to toe with the other SUV he would have stayed to help. He checked his weapon one last time, he had to be ready for whatever was happening ahead.

"The LA team are still a good 30 minutes away sir, they're pushing it as hard as they can to get here" Banks informed.

Tripoli knew that wasn't soon enough to help enough, he took a breath "Ok, you two ready?"

"Yes sir" Banks & Maurice replied, they knew their boss wouldn't actually stop the car but merely slow down, so a rolling exit would be on the cards & it's one they'd trained for, each agent took a deep breath & waited for the command.

Tripoli hated putting his team in this kind of danger, not only the way they were exiting the vehicle, but leaving them out in the open with mere minutes to make cover, he would have to take comfort in the fact that Fornell was keeping the men quiet at present. The other issue was the commotion up ahead & it was that reason he had to basically divide & conquer, he just prayed it worked! "Now!" he commanded, slowing the car down enough to allow for the exit of his men.

"Clear" Mike noted as soon as he saw the agent on his side exit & come up ok.

Tripoli saw his man also exit & come up ok, he then floored the gas pedal, needing to get to the others.

"Shit, we're lodged!" Tony screamed, he'd managed to get in between the SUV & Gibbs's car, but they'd then collided & were steaming ahead having somehow lodged together with the SUV.

Harry had felt the collision it was after all on his side, he could have sworn out of shock but held it in. "The bumpers are caught!" he said managing to see out.

"They're spinning!" Ziva shouted "Gibbs's car is spinning!" she'd turned to see if they got away ok & was horrified by what she saw.

Harry knew they couldn't do anything about that right now, he drew his weapon & took aim again, firing straight into the SUV's rear window, he was trying to aim for either of the men in the front seats.

Tim was hanging on for dear life! He could see Gibbs's car spinning, but what could they do about it? Especially as they were tied up, in more ways than one. His eyes then widened, Harry had started shooting again, what was this kid made out of? Nothing seemed to be fazing him! He turned, trying to see Fornell, when he sighed in relief "Tripoli's behind us!"

"Shit!" Tony cursed, just as Harry had started firing so had the man in the SUV, and he was aiming at him. He still managed to flash a look back in the rearview mirror, and sure enough Tripoli was fast approaching, thank heavens!

Mike flashed a look, he could see his probie was still having a whale of time trying to get the car back under control & frankly, there was nothing they could really do without getting hurt or worse hurting them, they had to help the others first & that almost killed him "Pull up on the other side of the SUV, I'll get their tyres & then them!"

Ziva knew what she had to do "Aim for the trees Tony, with Tripoli on their other side we can steer them & make them go right into them!" she said before again going just out of the window aiming her weapon & opening fire.

"Tripoli!" Tony called through the comms, hoping they'd be online, especially now that they were in range.

"We're on their other side, Mike's shooting their tyres out" Tripoli came back.

"Drive them into the trees! But don't let yourselves be taken out! We need a viable car!" Tony almost shouted, he was struggling to keep control of the car & not let the SUV run them into something.

"Right" Tripoli replied.

Fornell saw a car approach, it was an NCIS Charger, thank the stars! He then watched as the car veered off the road & onto the grass. He couldn't help but watch in horror & awe as the car slowed & 2 agents tumble out of the backseats, he watched as the car took off once they were out, heading straight for the other group, Tripoli clearly had the divide & conqueror idea. He was glad for the back up & also that the others would soon receive back up.

Fornell laid down cover fire & watched as the 2 agents moved into position with some sort of cover, they now had the SUV covered from almost all angles, it was time to end this crap! "Converge!" he ordered, while he knew it was easier said than done, it was something they had to do.

Ducky was trying to stay 'down' but he had to see how everyone was doing, he was worried, especially after he heard Tobias give the order to move in, surely they could get seriously hurt by the men in the SUV who clearly had superior fire power, he then noticed that from somewhere 2 extra men had turned up & they weren't just any men, it was Banks & Maurice from Tripoli's team! Backup had arrived thanks heavens! Though he couldn't see beyond the mess right in front of him, he presumed that Tripoli & Franks had gone on to help the others, who he prayed were doing ok!

Ducky watched as Tobias & the others all kept firing at the men in the SUV as they approached from multiple angels, it only took moments before it was over, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief once Tobias had called all clear.

"Clear!" Fornell called, peering into the front of the SUV, 2 men, now both dead! Well that was fun!

"Sir!" Johns yelled.

Fornell turned to look down towards the others, he saw that the other SUV was about to go straight into a grouping of trees with Tony's car on one side, they looked liked they were going to end up right alongside the SUV smashing into the trees. Tripoli's car was had stopped just a hundred yards back, obviously not wanting to end up with the same fate. The bigger issue was while Gibbs had finally managed to get his car back under control, it was still heading right for the ravine... crap! "Load up!" he had no idea what they would do, but he had to get there.

Tony could see they were about to end up crashing quite hard into the trees, he knew there was only one thing he could do to save his team "bail out!" he ordered "now!"

"Tony!" McGee tried.

"Now McGee! Ziva! Harry! Bail out!" Tony yelled.

Tim opened his door & taking a quick deep breath bailed out, remembering his training from FLETC, he balled himself up & let the roll happen. Harry saw Tim bail out & as much as he didn't want to leave Tony in this, he was trained to follow orders so as quickly as he could he moved across the back seat & bailed out too.

"Tony, come on!" Ziva said trying to pull him across.

"Go Ziva! We're about to crash, now!" Tony yelled.

Gibbs took a quick breath, they'd finally stopped spinning, but the car was still moving under the sheer motion that had carried it thus far, his foot was on neither the break nor the gas, he was worried that a sudden slam on the brake would result in a further spin, but with the ravine approaching he really didn't have much choice. If it was just him & Jenn, they would bail out, but his kids weren't trained for it & could seriously injury themselves. "hang on tight, it'll be over soon!" he just prayed he was right!

Jenn couldn't see a thing, she knew they'd stopped spinning because she'd felt it. But otherwise she had no clue, she was still bending over trying to keep Nix calm, the poor boy was hysterical, understandably so in her book. The dog also seemed to be having a fit, this was a whole new ball game for her, she'd never been in this kind of situation before "Shh, it'll be ok, your dad wont let anything happen to you"

Jenn felt the moment when Gibbs broke, the car again skidded but in doing so it also turned, she felt something, she wasn't sure what, but it wasn't good, it was almost like the car was on unsteady ground, she then got the fright of her life, the door next to Nix flung open & she felt a sudden pull towards the open door, doing her best to keep hold of him, she used her other arm to push against the seat in front of her, trying to keep them in the car.

Nix was sobbing in terror, he'd never been so scared in his life, but then the door flew open & he saw a massive drop "Ahhhh dddddaaaaaaddddd" he yelled.

Gibbs gripped the steering wheel, he was just thankful that they stopped & hadn't gone into the ravine, then he heard it, his son, he flashed a look back & his eyes widened in horror "Hang on!"

Kelly was hyperventilating, she had her eyes pinned shut, she was terrified of what she'd see if she opened them, but she heard her brother's scream & became even more scared.

"I've got him Jethro" Jenn said, she was thankful that the belts were still holding them in. She'd try to move back towards the other door, but it would mean letting go of Nix & she knew that even the belt was holding him, he couldn't cope with that "You're dad will get your sister out & then help us, I'm not letting go of you Phoenix" she whispered.

Gibbs flung his door open, he needed to create leverage, so while it wasn't much, he put one foot on the ground, just outside of the car, he reached over to his girl "Kell, angel, look at me"

Kelly finally opened her eyes & looked at her dad, but right at that point her door flung open "Ahhh" she yelled.

Gibbs instantly grabbed hold of her "Don't look down, look at me Kell, I've got you angel, you're gonna be ok"

Kelly was terrified, the ravine that was below was really deep.

"Look at me Kelly, look at dad" Gibbs repeated, she had her eyes screwed shut, he needed to get her out, so he could get Nix out too.

Kelly looked at her dad.

Gibbs was glad to see her look at him "Keep your eyes locked on me, You're going to unbuckle your seatbelt..."

"I can't!" Kelly protested

"Yes you can" Gibbs replied "you can do it, I'm not going to let go of you, as soon as you've unbuckled, I'm going to help you climb across here & out of the car"

Kelly shook her head, she couldn't do it.

Gibbs took a deep breath "Kelly Anne Georgina Eleanor Gibbs, you can do it, I know you can, now move your left hand & slowly unbuckle your seatbelt" he said gently, trying to coax her, he was glad she was doing it.

Kelly slowly moved her hand & released her belt, but as she did so she felt the car shake again "Ahh"

"Ahhh" Nix cried.

Jenn gripped even tighter "I've got you & Buster, shh" she said again, she had moved her hand from creating leverage with the front the seat to take a grip of the dog's collar as much as she could.

Gibbs gripped her even tighter "I'm not letting go Kells, now come on, I've got you" he knew their time was fading, the car was going to go.

McGee came out of his tumble & was quite disorientated, standing up he tried to get his bearings & in doing so saw something, holy crap "Gibbs's car!" he yelled & did his best to start running, he saw Harry was a mere step behind him.

"Come on Kells" Gibbs said trying again to coax her, while also trying to pull her across towards him, when he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

"We've got you boss" McGee called, he was gripping Gibbs for dear life.

Gibbs breathed a sigh of relief when he saw not only McGee, but Harry, Fornell, his men.. thank heavens, he turned back to his girl "come on angel, they're steadying the car, let's get out"

Fornell was so grateful to have reached them in time, as he opened the back door to where the Director was, he leaned in & put a grasping hand onto her "I've got you, the others are holding the car steady, but we gotta move"

Jenn breathed a sigh of relief "Phoenix, I'm going to undo your seatbelt, we're going to move back together ok?"

"I can't move" Nix stuttered.

Gibbs was just getting Kelly over the middle console when he heard his son, he cursed, he wished he could split himself in half "Climb over me angel" he coaxed "McGee, get her out" he ordered his agent.

McGee reached & took hold of Kelly he helped her get quickly out of the car, he breathed a sigh of relief, one out, 3 to go! He was glad she was ok.

Gibbs turned to the backseat as soon as she was out "Phoenix, you can do this, your sister's out, the others are holding the car steady, I know you can do it, let Jenny remove your seatbelt & you'll move back, I'm right here son, won't go anywhere until your out"

Fornell actually bypassed Jenn & using his knife cut loose both of their seat belts "ok, let's get you both out"

Gibbs knew his son was probably beyond scared, petrified was more like it, but they had to get out so Tobias was right, they had to move "ok pal, here we go" he said, reaching behind trying to help move his son.

Nix was scared, he gripped Buster for dear life, he didn't want him to be left behind.

Gibbs saw that Jenn wasn't making much headroom, especially with his boy gripping Buster "Phoenix son, look at me, come on look up to dad" he said stroking his son's head.

Nix looked up at his dad "I'm scared"

Gibbs broken heart was shattering "I know you are pal, I am too. But we need to get out of the car, I will hold onto Buster, so you can get out, he'll be fine" he said trying to reassure him, his boy was strangling the dog.

Gibbs took hold of Buster by his collar "got him" he looked at Fornell & Jenn & motioned for them to start moving "go on bud, we'll be right behind you"

"It's going!" Banks yelled.

Fornell, who had Ducky behind him pulled with utter urgency on Jenn as she gripped Nix.

McGee & Wallace lunged back in for Gibbs "boss!"

Kelly watched in horror as the agents who were holding the car screamed to hurry up, her brother & dad were still in there, then with a sudden thrust, all bodies fell back out of the car, she was relieved but it didn't last long, the car started going "Buster!" she yelled.

Nix had fallen out of the car & was lying on top of Fornell when the car started to go "Buster!" he cried.

Gibbs eyes widened, McGee had yanked him out with such force that he'd let go of Buster, damn! "Buster!" he called.

Harry saw the car going & the dog hadn't come out with the others, he dove in & saw the dog doing his best to scurry upwards towards them, gripping the carpet for dear life, he grabbed the collar & pulled "come on boy"

Gibbs eyes widened at Harry's actions "Harry Jeffrey Taylor!" he yelled, he couldn't let anything happen to him, that couldn't happen.

Kelly watched, it seemed to happen in slow motion, but she watched Harry lung into the car almost as soon as her brother had fallen out, the car was going, but just as it went he was pulled back out by some of the other agents...and, he had Buster! Thank heavens!

Gibbs saw Banks & Maurice pull out not only Harry, but Buster out too, thank the stars! He then saw the car go over the edge & fall into the deep ravine, he was inches from both his kids & flung himself on top of them, wanting to shield them from any possible explosion, but thankfully none came.

Gibbs held both his kids tightly "I'm here, shhh it's ok now, dad's here" he soothed, stroking both of them, trying in vein to calm them & him, he'd never been so scared in his life! Yea, he'd put himself into those situations before, but he'd never had his kids mixed up & that was almost impossible to cope with. He was beyond grateful that they'd gotten out ok.

A/N: Phew! Gibbs & his kids are ok! Buster too... Close call though... and good thing Fornell was able to deal with his guys & get there to help! And how was it for Jenn helping out with Nix?

But how are Tony & Ziva doing? and what about the suspects in the SUV?
