"Where's that chopper?" Colby demanded.

"On its way over! Keep it together, Granger!" Walker yelled back.

Colby knew Walker was right. He was letting it get to him. He took a couple deep breaths and in a much calmer voice asked Nikki and Suzie if they'd gotten the car yet.

Nikki's voice reached Colby's ears through his headset. "Red Honda Accord, partial license plate is 3AM6"

"Good." Colby responded. "Now I want you to tail it, alright?"

"Gotchya." Suzie said as she and Nikki took off for their SUV.

"Tango4-89 requesting orders."

"Tango4-89 this is 5436." Colby replied. "There is a red Honda Accord with a partial of 3 Alpha Micah 6 that needs tailed. Confirm orders."

"Confirmed, 5436." The chopper pilot responded. The sky was turning gray as the sun started to peak out over the horizon. Early morning work traffic had just started to pick up.

Suzie was driving as fast as she possibly could to catch up to Swarrid's vehicle. Nikki picked up her cell and called Colby, knowing they were going to be out of comm. range soon.

Colby answered with a terse, "What?"

"Does the chopper have a location on Swarrid's car?" Nikki asked, not seeing anything.

"Tango4-89, do you have a location on the suspect?" he asked as he pressed his ear.

"Affirmative. Suspect is heading south on Broadway."

"Heading south on Broadway!" Colby repeated to Nikki who repeated to Suzie who took a crazy left turn and nearly toppled the car.

"Tango4-89, Unit 7 is on the ground. How far are they from the suspect?" Colby asked.

The lobby of the hospital where they had set up control was dead quiet as they listened to the voices that were being projected across speakers so everyone could hear. (Colby had let them tap into his phone call.)

Walker was directly to Colby's right and was relaying information to the LAPD for their perimeter.

"5436, Unit 7 is 12 blocks behind the suspect." Tango 4-89 reported.

"Nikki, you're twelve blocks behind Don." Colby barked. He heard the engine rev.

Suzie was going at dangerous speeds for downtown LA. (For the downtown of anywhere, really.) The speedometer was getting close to 80. She didn't dare to turn her lights on to tip off Swarrid, but passed cars anyway. So far they'd hit all green lights. Neither Nikki nor Suzie were paying attention to the side streets. Why should they? They had the right of way.

"I see the vehicle, Colby." Nikki said as they got closer. Suzie slowed down the speed now that they had caught up so they wouldn't look suspicious.

That's when a car shot out of an alley.

Suzie slammed on the brakes, but they still hit the car going 63 miles per hour. The SUV rolled head over tail when it impacted. The car they had hit had its roof crushed down when the SUV rolled over top of it. The SUV flipped 4 times. They landed on their wheels and then toppled over onto the driver's side.

All the control center heard was the squeal of brakes before the line went dead.

"Tango4-89, what the hell just happened?" Colby demanded.

"5436, Unit 7 was just was just in a collision with another vehicle."

Liz cursed and ran to the stairs.

"Tango4-89, keep on the suspect." Colby replied as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Someone get an ambulance out there!" Colby yelled to whoever was listening. "Where is the collision location?"

"Intersection of Broadway and Sycamore, 5436."

The morning traffic had jammed. James Weston, RN, was going to be late for work. He glanced at the clock on the dash and the road sign about him. Applewood. A full 20 some blocks from the hospital he worked at. He opened his door and stood out on the street to see what the holdup was. One block ahead was a car crash.

His nursing instincts kicked in and he ran forward to the nearest vehicle, a black SUV. The vehicle was on its side and he could hear voices inside.

"Is everyone alright in there?" he called out. He found that the windshield was smashed out and peered in.

Nikki and Suzie were still dazed from the crash. It had been a blur of airbags and being tossed around. Suzie had slammed hard into the steering wheel on initial impact and had blacked out for the crash. Nikki had a cut on her forehead from hitting the dash. After the car had stopped moving Nikki had tried to get out, but found her right leg was pinned. Suzie had come around a few moments after that. Then a man appeared at the windshield. He was dressed in dark blue scrubs. "Is everyone alright in there?" he asked.

"Ya." Nikki replied. "She hit her head pretty hard."

"I'm fine." Suzie grumbled. She clambered for her seatbelt button.

"Here, I got it." The man offered. "I'm James. I work in the emergency room at LA General." He clicked the seatbelt button.

Nikki, being more lucid, responded first. "I'm Nikki and that's Suzie. We're FBI."

James was surprised at how calm the two were. Usually car wreck victims would freak out and bawl their eyes out. (Well the girls anyways. Especially young ones.) He knocked some more glass out of the window so he wouldn't cut himself or Suzie when he pulled her out. James grabbed Suzie under the arms and asked, "Ready?""

Suzie nodded and then wished she hadn't as everything went topsy turvy.

James pulled and had Suzie out relatively easily. After he made sure her head injury was the only thing wrong with her he crawled back in for Nikki. He heard sirens in the distance. 'Good.' He thought. 'They can deal with the other car.'

"My leg's jammed in here pretty good." Nikki said as she looked down and saw just how badly the car had encased her. It hurt, but not bad enough that it serious.

"Let's see what I can do." James said kindly and crawled into the space.

Robin was down in the main lobby waiting for Alan. She heard the sliding doors open and Alan walked in with Amita right behind him.

"Robin, what happened?" Alan asked worriedly.

"They found the man who was behind the plot to shoot Charlie." Robin started.

"What happened to Don." Alan pressed. He didn't care about the details at the moment. He just wanted to know what had happened to his eldest.

"The man behind the shooting had a grudge against Don from his fugitive hunting days." Robin bit her trembling lip as the words suddenly hit her with full force. "He kidnapped Don."

Alan was too shocked to offer his soon to be daughter-in-law any comfort. But Amita knew what kidnapping felt like even though she had tried to forget it. "I'm so sorry, Robin." Amita said and hugged her.

Colby suddenly understood the meaning of pressure. Yes, he'd had pressure before, but not like this. Not when someone he knew was on the line. Especially his boss. He was usually the one that ended up with a gun pointed at his head, not Don. It reminded him of the time Megan had been taken by Crystal Hoyle. He had suddenly understood completely now why Don had closed the curtains on Buck Winters. He didn't realize how much he didn't understand until now.

Currently he was standing with a white knuckle grip on the edge of the table waiting for the ambulance to call the crash in. As soon as they did he was heading down to the ER to meet them.

"5436, the suspect just entered a parking garage. We've lost visual."

Colby cussed. "Tango 4-89, hover over and report any cars that come out." He turned and yelled at the nearest agent, "Get ready to write the cars down." That's when Colby's cell rang. The caller ID let him know it was Ian.

"Please tell me this is good news. " Colby answered.

"If you wanna call it that." Ian replied dryly. "I'm behind Swarrid's car."

"Good. Let us know if he does a car swap." Colby replied.

"Got it." Ian replied and clicked his phone shut.

The call from the ambulance came and Colby rushed into the elevator. When he entered the main lobby on his way he saw Alan, Amita, and Robin.

He really wanted to apologize to Alan. He had been in command when Don was taken. He still was.

Alan looked up and saw Colby. He instantly knew the look on his face. He'd seen it so many times on Don's.

Colby walked the short distance forward. He saw the looks of desperation in the trio's eyes. "We still haven't got him yet. We're trying to keep a low profile because…" he trailed off and shook his head. "Never mind."

"Do you have someone tailing him?" Robin asked.

Colby nodded. "Look, guys, I'm sorry. I was in command and I let him walk Don right out of here."

Alan placed a firm hand on Colby's shoulder. "I'm sure there was nothing else you could have done, Colby. Don't beat yourself up over it. You'll find him."

Colby nodded and Alan let go of his shoulder. "There's going to be someone at Charlie's door 24/7 now instead of just visiting hours." They nodded and the he took off for the ER.

Thanks for all the reviews and alerts, guys/gals! :D
