Virginia was leaning against the window watching as the storm raged on outside. The rain was ten times worse than they were told. Power had been out for several hours. The generators had come on and work had commenced. Again. She was waiting for the autopsy finished for her joint case, so she stayed out of the way. Horatio found her and looked at her. Eric stood next to him.

"We have lost them, haven't we?" Horatio asked.

Virginia shook her head and said, "There is always hope. It won't be easy, but there is always a chance." He nodded and then asked, "What is your story?"

Virginia looked at him. "Why?"

"There is more to you than just an old friend." He said.

Virginia smirked and before she could answer her satellite phone rang. She took it out and answered it. "Parker. Hey, you are where? How the...ok ok, stay put. I will work on the rescue. Yes, love you too." Hanging up she looked at Horatio and said, "There is more to me than friendship. But you don't have the right to now it yet. You have to earn it. As for you," she turned to Eric and signed, 'Give yourself time. Memories do come back.' Then she left them and went to find Mac. She found him with Speed and Christie in trace.

"We need to mount a rescue."

Mac looked at her. "Why?"

"We need to rescue a train full of passengers at Grand Central."

"That's going to be near impossible. The quickest way to get there is flooded and rushing like a white rapids. Even you, me and Speed can't even swim that. All the Recon training we have won't even be close enough to get through that. I hate saying this with a passion but only a damn Navy Seal can swim that shit." Christi snorts.

Virginia just grinned and pulled out her sat phone. "Yes, this Special Agent Virginia Parker, NCIS. I have a train trapped in a flooded track in Grand Central. We have agent in distress as well. Yes. You can reach me at this number." She Hung and looked at Mac. "You have any scuba gear? Temperatures are dropping fast. The train load won't last the night."

Mac nodded and said," Follow me. Why do I get the feeling you had more training than recon?"

Virginia smiled and said, "Because you are a Marine." They walked out and Speed looked at Christie.

"I so gotta see this." Then he followed them. Christie ran after them too.

"So she pulled the sneakiest move ever and got more training and didn't tell us. I'm sure I could help but that water has to be ATLEAST 10 below by now."

"Tell me about it. And you know me, I'd jump right in there with you but I would much rather keep my family jewels intact."

Christi looks at him and attempts to keep a straight face but fails and bursts out laughing hysterically not being able to help it. She loved him dearly but the look on his face when he said that made her laugh.

Virginia poked her head out and said, "I was selected and it was classified. And still is. And Tim, why would you worry about the jewels? You have a change of heart and didn't tell me?" Speed gave her a look and she went wide eyed. "Sneaky bastard. Oh you are so telling me, or you scrawny ass will be pushed into the water."

"Cross my mind once or twice since Noah came along. I need them intact and shit Vee. Good for you. Now I'll stay behind where it's warm while you two," He said pushing Christi forward then continuing, "jump into water that is 10 below and go on your rescue mission." He grins cheekily.

"I say we bring him along and use his head as a flotation device since its full of hot air!" snorts Christi as she ties her hair up into a bun to keep it back and out of the way and so it's easier to put on the wet suit.

Virginia gave Speed a look and said, "Tim, I need you out there. You are the best tactical guy I know. Besides, you won't get drenched, just soaked being in the boat."

He huffed and sighed. He didn't want to get frozen to the bone but agreed knowing Vee she really would shove him into the water.

Vee grinned when he agreed and helped Christi zip up then she turned so that Christi could help her as Eric and Don came looking for them.

"Are you guys insane? Going diving in this weather!" Eric says.

"We have no choice. We have to. There's a train stalled in Grand Central and its full of people. The tunnel is filling quickly." Christi explained.

Virginia looked at the two guys and then said, "We are insane. But this is nothing compared to that rescue mission we had in before we deployed to the war."

Both Speedle's shuddered at the mention of it. "Don't remind us. That is the second worst mission ever for us." Speed said the first being where they lost Andrew and his hearing and nearly his twin.

"You're actually going?" Don asks Christi watching her doing a check over of the equipment.

"Yes. I'm not letting those people die. Enough people may die from this damn super storm. I'm not letting more people die. You can have your huge freak out later and have a ranting fit in Gaelic at me when I get back and have at least six cups of coffee." Christi says.

Virginia looked at Speed and signed, 'Sadly, he is in love. And Christie has no clue what she wants.' Speed nodded and helped her finish her check of the equipment.

There is no way you can possibly do this." Eric said.

The three Marines turned and Virginia said, "Only impossible if you don't try. Besides impossible is not in our vocabulary."

Christie nodded and then turned to Virginia as the sat phone rang. "Parker." She listened and nodded.

Then hung up and looked at them.

"We a go?"

"Yep. And Coast Guard is assisting."

Speed grinned and said, "we get to scare the coast guards?" Virginia nodded headed out of the locker room.

Speed followed her, something was up.

"Vee? What's up?" He asked.

Virginia looked at him, tears in the corner of her eyes. "Tony, my fiancee is the agent in distress. He was bringing the files we had down here, hence the train."

Speed nodded and hugged her. "We will get them. We always do."

"Thanks, Speed. I needed that. Now do we have a map of grand central?"

"Yes. Follow me." They let go and headed for the layout room.

Virginia took out her cell phone, and brought up a picture of the wedding gown one of her soon to be stepmother in law, found. "Speed, check this out. My soon to be step mom in law found.". Speed looked at it and then at her.

"Please tell me you said hell no."

Virginia nodded and said, "But she is pushing. So I need help finding a gown and fast. So wanna help me?"

"Sure. Just tell me when and we can go. I know a girl who works at Kleinfelds here in the city. I know you'll find something there that you'll love."

Virginia grinned and said, "Well as soon as this storm passes we will go. Oh one other thing."

Speed looked at her and asked, "what?"

"Be my man of honor? You know I have more male friends than girls. Don't worry Christie will be in the party."

Speed chuckles and nods, "You know she's going to kill you right? Remind me to hide when you tell her so she can't kill me first."

Vee laughs and nods as they head out with Christi with Don sulking. He wasn't happy she was being crazy and going out there.

Virginia rolled her eyes. And mumbled beneath her breath and then she said, "You never answered me."

"On?" he asks looking confused. He wasn't sure what she was talking about as they all climbed into the Coast Guard boat that was there to pick them up.

Virginia threw her hands up and said, "Screw it. All men are idiots, rather they be gay or straight." With that she began to mumbled in Hebrew.

Christi laughs shaking her head, "Just tell him Vee or it's going to drive him crazy and I won't I hear the end of it."

Grinning with a well known sparkle in her eye she said, "Yea you will. Just put ear plugs in." Christie laughed and said, "Oh, that's good. I gotta remember that."

Speed glared at them. "I'm right here."

They both looked at him. "We know."

"Brats." He mutters making them giggle as they eventually got to Grand Central. The girls pulled their full face masks on as they had walkie talkies in them so they could communicate with the Coast Guard.

Once they had them they slide into the water and Christi starts shivering like a leaf her teeth chattering.

"FUCKING HELL THIS WATER IS ICE COLD!" she said as they started their way down into the tunnel that was already half way underwater and filling fast.

"They're not in the station, they stalled out down in the actual tunnel." Vee explained.

Christie looked at her and said, " You are cruel.

" Virginia grinned and dove further into the tunnel. She switched channels and said, "You with me, Speed?"

'I hear ya. You are a pain you know that.'

"Yes but you love. Now seriously, you know what question I was referring too. Come on, I wore a damn prom fluffy gown for you in high school."

"Wasn't me telling you that when you told her that I need to hide giving you my answer? But if you want the straight forward answer, of course."

Virginia rolled her eyes and said, "Thanks. Now where the hell am I going?" She heard Speed laugh, and then he said, 'Head straight and you two should see the tracks and train.' She did and saw the train. And her flipped and beat fast. "Speed, is there another way out?"

'Why?'

"Because we have two trains and they have hit."
