Chapter 3

Team Gibbs and company made slow progress, and when the rain began they needed quick shelter. They all huddled under a tree for cover as the rain picked up. Gibbs had pulled out the map and studied it. They needed immediate shelter. The tree provided some shelter, but they all were getting dripped on.

"There's a cave, about a hundred yards from here. We need to get there. That'll be the best place for us to wait out this storm."

"Caves have bats, Gibbs. Bats and bears and…." Abby stated.

"You got a better idea, Abs?" Gibbs asked.

She shook her head. She hated the idea. But she also knew that even with Tim and Jimmy supporting her like they were, she couldn't go much further.

Gibbs looked at the group. "Anybody else got any bright ideas?"

Nobody answered him.

"Well, let's go then." Gibbs replied limping off in the direction of the cave.

The group looked at one another. But they follow. Tim, Tony, and Vance took the time to check their weapons before they proceeded. Caves were very unpredictable places.

"I hope we're getting close." Sam said as they tramped through the woods. It had started to rain, even harder. And the cave on the map seemed further and further away.

"It is!" Dean said. He was getting annoyed, too. He was already cold and wet and now it was starting to rain even harder.

Sam and Dean got to the entrance. But stopped they both heard rustling inside and instinctively went for their weapons. But they stopped when they recognized a face.

"Agent DiNozzo!" Dean said, very surprised.

"Dean Winchester!" Tony replied. "Sam!" He said, nodding in the younger Winchester's direction. He sighed. "This day just keeps getting better and better."
