Failing to locate Sandburg, Banks had wasted little time rushing to the construction site. Despite finding Jim's truck empty and seeing no sign of either man, Simon knew without a doubt that they were both here, somewhere.

Opening his trunk and pulling out the bolt cutters, the captain made short work of the padlocked gate. However, once inside the property, Simon wasn't sure where to begin his search. Luckily he didn't have to look far. Squinting through the pouring rain he saw two familiar, if somewhat bedraggled, figures stumbling towards him.

"JIM!" He bellowed, rushing forward. "Are you two all right?" he asked, falling into step beside them.

"I'm okay, but I think we'd better get Sandburg back to the hospital where he belongs."

"I'm fine," Blair protested even as his legs gave way.

"Or maybe not," Ellison quipped, steadying his partner even as Simon's arm snaked around Sandburg to offer additional support.

"Oh man, why is it always me?" Blair whined.

"You know, Chief," Jim warned. "It still might not be too late to trade you for Lash."

"That is so not funny, Jim," Sandburg retorted and as the three men continued towards their vehicles, the rain and night blanketed them from view.
