This is my first story so if you have any suggestions or pointers just KINDLY let me know. Sadly, I don't own the NCIS Los Angeles characters, but I have my own. Thanks!

Before We Knew It

As they were walking into the office from the parking lot, Deeks shouted as Kensi punched his arm, "Really Kensi?"

"What do you expect me to do when the one time I try to be nice and let you drive you almost crash my car into the freaking building?" Kensi replied as she stuffed her second doughnut into her mouth.

"Well sorry I couldn't pay attention because you were sucking down your doughnut the whole time I was trying to focus. It doesn't really help when someone is chomping like a cow in your ear." Kensi gave him a glare as an answer. "Besides, I wouldn't classify it as running the car into the building, more like parking a little too far in the space and driving onto the sidewalk."

Callen and Sam simultaneously looked at each-other as they heard their co-workers walking towards their desks. "Seriously? You let him drive? Didn't you learn your lesson last time?" Callen commented with a smirk on his face.

"Okay, first of all, I only ran into the garbage can because the suspect ran into it when we were following him and it flew in front of us, and to answer your question, yes she did let me drive because even though she won't admit it, Kensalina just can't get enough of this" Deeks said as he displayed his figure.

Kensi crumpled up a paper on her desk and threw it at Deeks, knocking him in the back of the head. Deeks was just about to comment on anger management when he was interrupted by Eric's whistle. "Sorry to interrupt but we've got a case. Hetty wants you guys in ops." Sam chuckled as Deeks and Kensi raced each other up the stairs.

Once they were all in ops, Hetty walked in, her eyes screaming with anger. Deeks silently whispered, "Do you think she forgot her tea this morning?" Kensi just smirked a little as Hetty turned around, clearly annoyed. "No, Mr. Deeks, but thank you for your concern." Deeks suddenly stiffened a little, surprised at the ears of the mysterious woman.

"What do we got?" Kensi asked as she stifled a smile. Right now, they just needed to focus on whatever case has caught their attention.

"Well, yesterday morning two NCIS agents were captured while under cover trying to take down a terrorist foundation in Nigeria," Nell said as she spun around in her chair. "How did we know they were captured?" Sam said as he was intrigued by the small amount of info. "Great question. This morning we received a notification about a video that was posted on YouTube that went viral just eight hours ago." Eric said as he pulled the video up onto the large screen.

It showed two men, hands and legs tied and blindfolded sitting in chairs with others in masks around them holding AK 47's in their hands. They were speaking in a foreign language. "Roll the video back Eric," Sam said as he was listening. When the video was over, Sam turned around with a frown.

"Well Mr. Hannah are you going to keep us waiting?" Hetty questioned.

"They said they know who the agents are and who they worked for , and they said that in 4 days they are killing to agents, seeking revenge on NCIS and our nation."

"Considering they managed to get information them even with their covers sealed shut, I would set out an alert to all agencies currently undercover and associated with these people including NCIS to be aware of their surroundings," replied Hetty, noticeably disappointed.

"The agent have been identified as Jericho Darrahs and Jacob Sterling. They have been working for NCIS for over five years now and they are very successful in the field. Last month they took down a whole Mexican drug cartel after they made a deal with Americans in Arizona. We suspect someone in the agency leaked their names." Hetty reported.

"Nell and I have been trying to trace the IP address from the video but they successfully put up multiple firewalls that could take days possibly weeks to hack through even with our technology." Eric added on. "The only lead we have right now, is a signal that was sent from Sterling's phone that lasted about 30 seconds placing them in the middle of the desert about 70 miles from where they last reported their location. We looked at where the signal was sent from through a live satellite circling around the area, and found no sign of anyone. We haven't been able to trace the phones since. It looks like they must have been destroyed after the last signal."

"Who was the agent in charge?" Callen asked.

"Agent Anthony Drake was the senior field agent who reportedly assigned them to the case. He appears to not have signed into work yet, but we have him home address on file," Nell answered. "Sam and I will go talk to agent Drake. Kensi, Deeks go check out Jericho and Jacob's places and see if you can find anything that looks suspicious." Callen ordered. " We'll send the addresses to your phone." Eric added. "Good work guys," Callen said while leading the team out of the doors.
