Chapter 1

Eric yawned as he walked into the front door to his home after a very long day at work. Nell had been home sick and he had done his work solo for the day. Eric walked in the door to his home and headed over to his fridge, hoping to find something he could have for dinner before he went to bed. As he opened to the fridge door he noticed a small plate covered in alfoil with a little note sitting on top of it. The note read: Enjoy - Nell. Eric smiled to himself as he picked up the note in one hand and the plate in the other. He slowly backed away from the fridge and shut it with his foot as he dawdled over to one of the counters in his kitchen. He put the note down on the bench and began to remove the alfoil from the plate. He lifted it up and revealed a tasty-looking meal. A chicken parmigiana schnitzel with a salad and some vegetables. Yum, Eric thought. He picked up the plate and put in the microwave for a few minutes and went into his lounge room and sat down on his couch. He reached over to the coffee table that was situated just in front of him and grabbed the television remote. As he turned the television on his phone began to ring from the back pocket of his shorts. He reached for his phone and answered it before putting it to his ear.

"Hello? Just wait a second, I'll put the T.V on mute" Eric shouted into the phone. He grabbed the television remote and pressed the mute button. "Hello?" he said into the phone. There was no answer. "Hello? Who is this?" Eric said into the phone once again, hoping for a response. After waiting for a few seconds and not getting a response, he hung up the phone and put it on the coffee table. That was weird, he thought. *BEEP BEEP BEEP* Eric got up from his couch and walked back into his kitchen and over to the microwave. He opened the microwave door and pulled out a steaming plate and rushed it over to the counter and placed it on it as quickly as he could, trying not to burn his fingers in the process. He decided to allow his meal to cool slightly before grabbing a knife, fork and his plate and sitting back on his couch once again. He pressed the mute button on the television remote again so that he could watch and listen to the television whilst enjoying his meal that Nell had brought to him.

Once Eric had finished his meal he got up and put his cutlery and plate in the sink and turned off the T.V. He checked his phone to see the time. 10:31pm. He then headed towards his bedroom when he heard saw a light through his side window. Curiosity lured Eric towards the window to have a look outside. He peered through the darkness and saw a car with no plates that he had never seen before. It was a black four-wheel drive with, from what he could see, had very darkly tinted side windows. This unknown car was parked in his drive way, directly behind his car. Eric saw three men get out of the car in black hoodies with their faces covered. Eric immediately backed away from the window and headed into his bedroom and the light out. He climbed into his wardrobe as he heard rattle from his back door. Clearly someone was trying to pick his lock. He reached for his phone a dialled in the number that he knew off by heart. It rang for about 5 or 6 seconds before someone on the other end picked up.

"Nell!" he whispered into the phone rather loudly.

"Yea Eric? Why are you calling me at this time of the nig-" She was cut off by Eric part-way through her sentence.

"People are here at my house. They're trying to get in, trying to pick the lock. There's three of them Nell. I need help… and I need it now"

"What? Oh god Eric. I'll get the team, just wait a sex" Nell spat out very quickly.

"I'll try Nell." Eric said as he hung up and slipped his phone back into his pocket. He heard his bedroom door creak open before hearing footsteps slowly walking towards the wardrobe…

Nell dialled Kensi's number into her phone as quickly as her hand and mind would let her. Almost immediately, Kensi answered the phone.

"Hi Nell? What's up?" she said in a confused voice.

"Eric's in trouble Kensi. He needs the team at his place ASAP. There are three guys there and they are braking into his house." Nell tried to inform her as quickly as she could. "Call Deeks and get him the loop. Ill contact Callen, Sam and Hetty."

"Okay, I'll get Deeks" Kensi said before hanging up. She called Deeks and he answered within 4 seconds.

"Allo?" Deeks said in a lively and cheery way.

"Get into your gear and head over to Eric's. Three hooded guys have broken into his house and he needs backup. I'll meet you there" She told him without even taking a breath.

"Got it" Deeks said. Kensi hung up on him and he raced over to this bed-side table to grab his gun and badge. H raced out to his car and slammed his foot down on the accelerator. Thoughts about Eric were rushing through his head at a million miles an hour and he didn't know what to think about the situation. Why were people going after Eric? Would he get there in time?

Deeks jumped out of his car and snuck towards the side of the house with his gun up. He slowly cleared the mysterious car and quickly walked around the side of the house to the back door. He creaked it open and crept into the house. Deeks then peered into the first room, the bedroom. He could see large bloodstains on the carpet but the room was empty. Definitely signs of struggle, clothes everywhere just outside of the wardrobe and the wardrobe door was partially torn off of its hinges, along with bloody fingerprints on the door and edge of the bed. Deeks could hear the front door slam open and he raced towards it. He stopped dead in his tracks when he felt something cold and hard pressed on the back of his head. He put his hands up in surrender, still holding onto his weapon.

"Drop your gun before I blow your brains out!" a man shouted from behind. Deeks dropped his gun onto the ground. The man behind him knelt down and removed the other pistol from underneath Deeks' jeans near his shoes.

"Move" He heard the man say from behind as he put his gun onto Deeks' back and pushed him out the door. They reached the large open boot of the four-wheel drive when he saw Eric. He was knocked out from what looked like an extremely hard hit to the head which caused a large mark on his forehead. His hand and legs were tied together with two sets of handcuffs and his mouth was covered with duck-tape, He also had a large bruise on his cheek. Deeks suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back off his head before everything went black…

Kensi pulled up to Eric's place when she saw Deeks' car, along with Eric's – they were both empty with Deeks' front door still wide open. She raced out of her car and headed towards the house. Kensi then cleared the whole house, but noticed bloodstains and many signs of struggle including draws being opened and searched and clothes everywhere on the bedroom floor. Just after, she heard a car pull up out the front and she darted out the door. It was Callen and Sam, in Sam's black charger. She sprinted out to them immediately.

"Kensi!" Callen shouted out to her, "What's happened? Where is Deeks and Eric?"

"I don't know, but they aren't here. There are bloodstains inside and things have been thrown everywhere. I called Deeks and told him to meet me here about 20 minutes ago. He must've gotten here before me and tried to stop the captures himself. They could both be in deep trouble…"

"I got a call from Nell about 20 minutes ago telling us to come here because Eric was being attacked. Why would anyone come after Eric?" Sam asked the team.

"I don't know but we need to report back to OPS and block off the crime scene." Callen told them. Kensi nodded and went over to her car. She got in it and dialled Nell's number into her cell.

"Kensi! Is Eric okay? Did you guys get the three men?" Nell questioned in a very worried and frustrated voice.

"Eric and Deeks are both gone and their cars are both at Eric's place. We need you to get Hetty in the loop. But I'd be surprised if she didn't already know. Also, check any cameras in the area and see if you can identify any of the men or where they went." Kensi said to her as calmly as she could.

"Oh my god… I'll tell Hetty and get onto the cameras. Sending a few agents down with the gear to isolate the crime-scene." Said Nell with a nearly broken voice. "Oh and Kensi?"

"Yea?"

"Find them, please."

"We will Nell, we will" And with that, Kensi hung up the phone and leant her head back against the seat. She felt like the weight of the world was on her shoulders now, but she know she just had to concentrate. She started up her car and headed off towards OPS, leaving Sam and Callen to investigate the crime-scene.
