Hello Followers and new comers to my stories! today is not a blue blood story and although I bombed my last NCIS story I wanted to take a crack at NCIS LA! There are not enough Eric stories out there, or a lot of Eric Whump stories so here it is hope you like it and as always R&R! ~LNR

The case was intense, one of complete confusion to the NCIS team, but not for the action part of the team but for the tech nerds. Yes as , Marty, Kensi, G, and Sam fought off the bad guys, Nell and Eric works frivolously away trying to track the missiles that Francis Brochani was selling to Somalia's war lords. Nell had worked so hard to block off the security camera's in Brochani's company, Malense INC, the cover company.

"Eric do you have an ETA on Sam and Callen's arrival to Brochani's office?" she asked her voice was high with demand as she was worried her block wouldn't work.

"Sam, Callen talk to me you guy's there?"Eric said into his headpiece

"Yeah Eric, we are here, Deeks and Kensi are diverting security but it's only temporary so tell me what to do," Callen answered back in a rushed tone.

"I need you to turn on his computer and put in the password, Malense gave you, once in let me know." it only took a few seconds before Eric heard back," Got it Eric now what?"

"I got it from here, I can access his computer." Eric sped through the files searching for anything on the shipping records of the missiles.

"GOT IT!"He yelled in the almost empty room

"Eleven minutes Eric can you stop the transaction?" Sam asked in his gruff voice.

"If, I can put in my virus than I can stall any transactions both in and out of the office,"

"Good, do it." Callen answered back. Eric started to let his fingers race of the keyboard, the virus that he created was being put into place. With on last click the virus was set, "We got it, he won't be able to disarm this virus." Eric said proudly.

"You sure man?" Sam asked in a skeptical voice, though he knew Eric was smart he had to be sure.

"Yes now get out of there, the block on the camera's is about to be cut off" Nell yelled back. Nell and Eric relaxed in the chairs giving a short laugh of "Can't believe we pulled it off" they high-fived each other as they listened to Deek's give the all clear, all in a day's work.

"Good work today Nell and Eric, couldn't have done it without you!" Kensi said giving Eric a powerful pat on the back causing his a little pain and laughs from the team.

"It was all Eric without his virus we couldn't have stopped it" Nell said, Eric smiled he loved his partner, she was always there for him.

"Well done Mister Beale but unfortunately this thing isn't over until we catch Brochani." Hetty said as she made one of her sudden appearances. they all nodded solemnly at her.

"Well everyone should go home rest up we have a long day ahead of us." Hetty said all of them looked t each other nodded in agreement and said their goodbyes readying themselves for the long day ahead tomorrow.

Eric was ready for some much needed rest, though he only sat behind a computer his job was still energy taking. He shut the car door and began his short trip home, but he was not alone. In fact Mr. Beale was being tailed, he however was oblivious to the fact and as he finally arrived home he just continued on not knowing the intensions of these men. His keys jingled in his hands, he reached for the knob but was unable the open the door after there was a jab in his neck. Instinctively he reached to the spot where the pain radiated feeling the long stem of a needle. He grew weary and dizzy but he was still able to make out a clear face of his attacker.

The next thing he knew Eric came to in a cold damp room, the only thing illuminating the room was the screen of a computer. His head was pounding and he felt sick to his stomach, there was rope holding him down to a flimsy chair but even with enough movement he could not break from the bonds. He wasn't going to lie he was terrified, this was the second time his life was in danger, after almost being frelted, God he hated that word. He looked around , one lenses of his glasses shattered, there was the computer and a door, no window not light just pure darkness minus the computer light.

"I see you are awake Mister Beale," that name only one person ever called him that, Hetty and yet the voice was not hers, it was a man. He had guessed right Francis Brochani soon appeared giving Eric a shock of fear that could easily be read in his eyes. "You may have blocked this but now you are going to undo what damage you have caused, or else." his voice was sickning to Eric who wondered what the or else entailed.

Deeks, Sam, G, and Kensi stood in the bull pen discussing their morning routines before they heard Nell's voice call them up the ops room. Confused by not hearing one of the shrill whistles and added remark by Eric, Kensi was the first to ask.

"Nell where is Eric?" They walked the stair way up to the room

"No idea I've called him like four times sent him eight texts and have received nothing back Hetty is going to be mad. " She was obviously worried but she tried to hide the panic. Hetty soon entered the room and noticed Eric's absence and after asking the same question Kensi asked only moment's before she turned to Nell.

"Nell please pull up the address 966 Denman Road please." It reveled Eric's apartment, not to anyone's surprise, they all knew that she knew everyone's address. The image showed that Erics car was still in the lot.

"Odd he is still home, Mr. Hanna and Callen go check out why Eric is not here, we will be needing him today." Hetty instructed but they would not be able to have him today , they had a long day ahead of them true but Eric's was going to be a whole lot longer.
