The small woman sat silently; as per usual she began filing away the reports from previous assignments of her team. The previous assignment had been painfully simple; a navy seal had gone rogue and deflected away from his squad, he had killed another member of his squad and then fled, hiding out in LA. The only thing was he had left his tracks everywhere and his phone had been constantly on leaving a great GPS signal leading special agent G. Callen and his team straight to the man.
Despite the case being so easy, paperwork still had to be done. Sam Hanna and G Callen already having handed there's in left the two younger field agents, Kensi Blye and Marty Deeks.
The small women let out a sigh as the clock struck 9:30am, making the two younger agents late for work. Five minutes later there was still no sign of the two and Eric couldn't wait any longer as another case needed solving by the elite team. Eric let out a whistle which the agents were trained to follow and both G and Sam headed up the stairs.
"Late last night there was a shoot-out on the border of LA" Eric began, leaving a space for his partner to jump in,
"So far we believe it was a gang fight but with slight complications…" Nell looked back to Eric,
"These complications have something to do with why this is our case then?" Callen was more-so stating than asking,
"Exactly, The shoot-out occurred in a marine base and since last night 2 Marines have gone missing and one so far has been reported dead."
"The dead Marine is Sergeant David Mills, 39, single. It seems his parents though now live in England and have gone off the radar of the US so we don't have a clear way of contacting them" Eric continued, as Nell then picked up from there,
"How-ever we can trace them as far as there move to the City of Liverpool in England and if needed we can probably pick up help from agencies over there."
"Mr Beale, Miss Jones… We have a new case" Hetty stood in the door way with concern showing clearly on her face, "Miss Blye and Mr Deeks have been involved in a shooting."
Callen and Sam both gained Hetty's concern instantly,
"Hetty, Are they okay? When did this happen?" Callen took the lead of the questions,
"Miss Blye is fine, there is no need to worry for her but Mr Deeks is in a critical condition and is currently in surgery. I have just been contacted about this now and I don't know too much. But I can't stress enough how important it is we find this shooter."
The team nodded to Hetty, allowing to hear what her orders would be,
"Mr Beale check the phone calls to and from Mr Deeks phone in the last 48 hours. Miss Jones, check the security cameras outside of both of their houses. Mr Callen and Mr Hanna will accompany me to the hospital to see how they are doing but if you find anything you must report it to me instantly"
"On it, Hetty" Eric and Nell both jumped back to their computer work and began their assignment as Hetty lead Callen and Sam out of Headquarters.
Kensi sat next to Deeks's bed; he had finally come out of surgery but was still in a critical condition in an intensive care ward. On the plus side he had his own room, probably given to him since he is a cop and had been shot at but the room didn't cure Kensi's uneasy feelings in the slightest. She kept her eyes fixed on her partner at all times not wanting to look away in case something happened. He was attached to an IV which was giving him more blood and he also had tubes up his nose feeding him oxygen. His wounds were mainly to the stomach and chest; luckily none had straight-on hit his heart but a bullet or two was close enough to damage an artery which was lucky to be fixed up in time, altogether he had been shot around 5 times but the hospital weren't 100% sure they had found all the bullets. Kensi sighed, if only she hadn't called him round to her house this wouldn't have happened, maybe she would have been the one in the bed instead of him… But maybe if it had been her she wouldn't of been quick enough to react, maybe she would be dead if it were her.
Hetty soon arrived at the hospital, being greeted by a Doctor who talked to her not as Hetty but as Deeks's next of kin. She was given a full update on him before being led to the room with Callen and Sam following behind.
"Miss Blye, How are you doing?" Hetty walked being Kensi and placed a hand on her shoulder trying to comfort the special agent.
"I'm fine…Its Deeks we should be worried about…" Kensi hadn't removed her eye contact from Deeks,
"I'm sorry to ask this so soon Miss Blye, but what happened?"
