Summery: Post Living Doll. The team searches for Sara with the help of our favorite NCIS Team. Because you've got to love a good crossover. GSR
A/N: Making up most of the stuff about computers, satellites and the dimensions of the desert. Sorry if it's all wrong.
Search Helicopter: Somewhere over the Nevada Desert.
Time Missing: 16 Hours.
The two teams piled into three helicopters and headed out to search the desert.
"The rain is going to make for a choppy ride." Shouted the pilot as they took off.
"Yeah, i got that." Gibbs answered settling into his seat next to Grissom, "Abby told me to remind you that every place we don't see her narrows down our search area and we have two hours of satellite time at oh-five hundred hours, tomorrow That's..."
"Five AM. I know." He didn't say what they were both thinking. The odds of Sara living through the night in the open desert were slim to none. Grissom starred out the window, willing his eyes to see anything but the rain made it harder. The visibility was so low, he wondered if they would really be able to eliminate any of the area's they covered.
"Gibbs!" Shouted the co-pilot, "We've got a call being patched into the cock-pit for you. Someone named Abby."
"Put her through." Gibbs demanded, "What do you have Abbs."
"Natalie is a total whack-job." Shouted Abby.
"Yeah, I know that." Said Gibbs
"She put a camera under the car so she could watch." Abby said, "The feed goes directly to Natalie's computer. It's WiFi based, it piggy backs on local networks meaning that the camera has to be within 1 mile of a WiFi hot spot."
"Tell me you found the hot spot?" Gibbs practically begged causing the pilot's to look at him strangely.
"I uploaded to coordinates to your pilot. We've officially narrowed the search area to one square mile."
"You are a miracle worker Abbs."
"Thank Ziva and Catherine, they are the ones who got the information out of Natalie. It would have taken days to find the program without knowing where to look."
"Thanks Abbs. Send that information out to the team and all local LEO's. I'll keep you updated." Gibbs signaled to the pilot that he was done and the helicopters turned 180 degrees and began to speed towards Sara.
Nevada Desert
Under the Car
Time Missing: 16 hours and 5 minutes
Natalie had left Sara a watch which is how she knew how long she had been under the car. It was like another form a torture. The rain had started an hour ago. At first it had been a light rain and Sara has appreciated the opportunity for a drink no matter how small. As the rain became heavier, it began to drown out the sounds of the desert that had been keeping Sara alert and involved in the world of the living.
The rain beat rhythmically on the car and Sara found herself being lulled sleep. She shook her head, forcing herself awake to deal with a pressing issue. The dugout below the car that had saved Sara from being completely crushed was filling with water and fast.
"He's coming." She told herself, "Grissom is coming."

"I see it!" Grissom shouted, squinting out the window, "Touch down, I see it." Grissom looked like he was ready to jump out of the helicopter. Gibbs put a hand on his shoulder to steadying him.
"EMS is already on the way." said Gibbs, "Our teams should arriving any moment." The helicopter touched down. Both Grissom and Gibbs were on the ground before the blades stopped turning. They ran through the drenching rain to the car. Gibbs felt his chest tighten when he realized that Sara's hand wasn't coming out from below the car the way it had in the model.
"Sara!" Grissom shouted as he ran, "Sara."
"Do you see her?" Gibbs shouted over the noise of another helicopter landing. Tony, Warrick, Nick, Brass and Greg jumped out and began running towards the car. Grissom was already on his knees under the car, reaching for Sara. Gibbs could hear the wail of a siren in the distance. The flashing lights of the ambulance blinded Gibbs as he looked below the car.
"She's here!" Grissom shouted, "Sara, can you hear me?" She didn't respond.
"Get the paramedics over here, Now!" Gibbs shouted to Tony who grabbed the first aid bag out of the paramedics hand and ran towards the car; the paramedics were on his heels with the rest of their equipment.
"Unconscious but breathing." Shouted Gibbs to the paramedics, "We need to get her out of here." The boys lined up next to the car, awaiting instructions.
"Let's see how stable the ground is before we try to move the car." Brass said calmly watching the paramedics take care of Sara.
They moved quickly as Grissom lay next to Sara, holding her hand as the paramedics evaluated her. They had already strapped her to a backboard and set up an IV to hydrate her. Grissom watched with wide eyes, never letting go of Sara's hand, he was talking to her softly, as if Sara was just resting her eyes and could here every word he said.
"If we can get this corner up we can her out."
"We've got a crane on the way." Answered a rescue worker.
"We have get her out of here now!" Demanded Grissom. Gibbs nodded in agreement.
"Come on." Shouted Gibbs going to the corner of the car, motioning to the others to follow his lead. "On the count of three we lift." Gibbs said before turning to the paramedics, "You pull her out as fast as you can." Everyone nodded in quick agreement and got into position.
"Ready Boss." Said Tony, looking determined.
"One, Two, Three, Lift." They lifted the back end of the car and held it up for a full minute until they were sure Sara was clear. They dropped it in a heap and watched as the paramedics carried Sara to the ambulance, Grissom never leaving her side.
