"Why do you have a key to your friends' house when she rarely lives here?" Sam asked.

"I don't have a key." Megan replied.

"But we heard a key unlock the door." Callen countered.

"No, you heard me picking the lock." She said with a straight face.

"Why?" Sam asked

"I was worried."

Megan said her tone becoming suddenly defensive. "Why do you want to know?" she asked before Sam or Callen could ask their next question.

"Well most kids your age don't know how to pick locks," Sam replied "so sorry if that raises suspicion."

"Well I also know how to hotwire a car, drive automatic and manual transmissions, and unarm security systems." She said a smile on her face "And I'm only thirteen." when she said this she looked sad and scared and nothing like the strong, confident little girl that was sitting in front of them a few minutes before. Sam and Callen picked up on this immediately but before they could ask her about it Callen's phone rang.

"Hey kens, yea we'll be right there." He said. When he hung up he walked back into the other room he heard

"Well I care about my best friend more than contaminating some crime scene, which brings me back to my first question. Is there a reason why I haven't seen Erin in days or why she won't answer her phone?" she asked trying to keep her temper in check.

"Yes, I'm sorry to tell you but her father was murdered and we have reason to believe she has been kidnapped." Callen said his voice sympathetic and soft.

"What," she screamed "excuse me I think I'm gonna be sick." She said rushing into what they guessed was the bathroom after about five minutes they heard the water running and assumed she was going to come out soon. They sat down and Callen explained to Sam that Kensi had called him and told him that they had found the captain in a drainage ditch two days ago but because he was so badly beaten and burned they couldn't ID him. But before he could continue with what he learned from Kensi they both heard the sound of shattering glass and a scream.

Kensi and Deeks sat in the bullpen reviewing every bit of evidence they had. Just as Deeks was about to complain for like the billionth time they heard the signature whistle coming up stairs. Saved by the bell Kensi thoughtbut her relief was short lived when she walked in and saw the looks on all the techies faces. "What's going on?" Deeks asked "We just got proof that Erin is alive." Nell said as she hit a few keys on her keyboard and a video popped up on the screen at first it was all black but then a figure materialized. He spoke with a heavy Iraqi accent "Hello NCIS," he said a smirk on his face "I bet that you are wondering why you are watching this. Well let me shed some light on that for you."

When he said the word light a bright white light snapped on in the background revealing a scared and confused Erin O'Connell tied to a chair. She was beaten and tears streamed down her blood stained face. She winced when the light snapped on, she was sitting in a dirty room which had bloodstained pipes that leveled up to her had height. Suddenly the light switched off and the two agent's attention returned to the figure who stepped into the light for the first time since the beginning of the video. He had dark skin, and dark eyes, a scruffily beard, and he was wearing a dirty white robe with what they guessed were blood stains on them.

"Now, I guess that you know about her father. Yes, she had the pleasure of watching me torture him and listening to his pathetic pleads for mercy. Oh well enough about that, to be generous I'll let you in on a little secret I am planning something bigger then anything you can even imagine. Bigger then 9/11 and it all starts with her." he said that pointing gesturing towards the room behind towards where they were keeping Erin. "Of course you could prevent it all by giving me one simple thing." The unnamed man said. Deeks and Kensi tuned to look each other then back at the screen.

"I want Agent Kensi Blye alone on the Santa Monica pier tomorrow at three o'clock. Don't try anything because I'll know if you bring back up. Oh and if you do, well then lets say Erin's luck will be sunk." After he said this the line went blank.

Everyone turned to look at Kensi who had gone very pale.

"Kensi," Deeks asked "Do you know who that was"

All Kensi could do was nod her head yes

"Well then, who was it " He pressed

"My ex husband." She replied
