" G, you failed Driver'sEd, what makes you think you are a good driver?" Sam demanded as they walked into head quarters. His partner shrugged,

" I was distracted by a case! Had there not been a case I'm sure I would've passed! Besides the guy probably failed me on purpose." Sam rolled his eyes,

" I wonder why." They entered the bull pen just as Eric whistled, making G think twice about his decision to not shoot Eric every time he did that.

" Remind again, why do we need Eric?" Kensi asked as they ran up the stairs.

" 'Cause you would overload the hard drive with useless junk, I wouldn't even be bothered to use it, Nate's not here, Hetty wouldn't know the first thing about using a computer, and G would blow it up or crash the computer all together." Sam explained,

" First you insult my driving, now you insult my computer skills? What did I do?" Callen demanded.

" So, so many things."

" This is Seaman Mark Harid." Eric announced pulling up an ID with a man about thirty years old with green eyes and brown hair. " His body was found earlier today just outside of LA, three gun shots. Two to the chest, one to the head."

" Why us?" G asked, after seeing the photos of the man with blood covering his face and torso. Hetty answered for Eric, appearing from the doorway as silently as a fox.

" Because Mr. Callen, Seaman Harid was under suspicions of starting a war between two smaller gangs, but armed none the less." Hetty indicated with her hand for Eric to continue.

" The two gangs are mainly in the suburbs of LA, the middle class homes, where they can recruit kids with money and no place to go. Plus, they specialize in kidnappings. During the year, they have a competition to see who can make the most money ransoming kids, young teenage girls mostly. Right now, they're taking kids from the areas of Lontan, Mecripe, and Jagrid. Tiny towns near Camp Pendleton, relatives of Marines mainly. Jagrid is where Harid lived, with his girlfriend and-" The phone rang on Eric's desk. Everyone stared at it like no one had ever seen a phone before.

" Mr. Beal!" Hetty barked after almost a minute of stunned silence, Eric was shocked out of his trance and hit something on the pad in his hands,

" Hello!" He called, hoping the speakerphone would work. If they were surprised when the phone rang, then the team went into shock when the voice came out.

" Hello? Is this the right number? I'm looking for a Kensi Blye, I need to talk to her right now. Is she there? Hello?" It was a girl's voice, very young and almost unsure. Callen and Sam stared at the brown haired women beside them, she had her mouth slightly opened.

" Karra?" G and Sam nearly passed out when Kensi called back, Hetty remained stone still, and Eric may or may not have actually passed out, it was hard to tell since he always slumped in his seat.

" Kensi, uhhh... hi." Karra replied uneasily, suddenly another voice came into play.

" Kensi? Oh God, don't tell me. You called her. What part of ' Don't call Kensi she will beat us to a pulp with a baseball bat the second she finds out how much crap we stepped in' didn't pass through your genius head?" this voice was also female and young, but more confident and definitely angry.

" We didn't step in anything, you did." Karra hissed back to the other girl.

" I say we, you say you. It doesn't make a difference, either way their will be beating with baseball bats."

" Both of you be quiet and tell me what happened preferably before Terri is right for the first in her life." threatened Kensi, G was now wondering if Kensi had kids and forgot to mention them to him. Or to anybody. he glanced at Hetty who glared at him.

" Karra got bit by a spider, and is running around New York kicking Gremlin ass, but her spidey senses disappeared before she could fall in love with some hot journalist, and is having a mental breakdown while I eat a taco." Random... thought G. Eric snickered, but soon cringed at the four glares shot at him by people who were all armed. There was a sound of flesh meeting flesh and a cry from Terri.

" She hit me!" came the indignant cry.

" Good, Karra put Jess on the phone." Kensi ordered. There was silence, dead, unearthly silence. G got worried. This had been half amusing, probably Kensi's kid about to get their ass whipped by a very angry agent, now there seemed to be something more.

" Karra." Kensi's voice was confident but they could all hear the worry that was growing.

" Uhhh... that would be called the issue in this situation. Besides the lack of tacos in the room." Terri announced quietly. Kensi turned very, very pale.

" Where is she Terri?" she prompted immediately. Terri muttered something very quietly, so that no one could hear it. Kensi yelled her named again.

" Not her, them. They took her Kensi, Mark and Jess tried to stop it, but they couldn't, they got her." Now the jokes were gone. G felt the air go cold, Kensi seemed to die a little.

" Lillian." she breathed.
