Viva Las Vegas
Chapter 3
Another month in and Cassie was finding her place on the team. Most days she rode with either team, sometimes she went out with Nell. She was totally settled in at Callen's and never did look for an apartment. She had even baby sat for Deeks and Kensi a few times by herself over the last month. This was mostly Callen's idea, he kept telling her she was good with kids. She'd never admit to him but she enjoyed watching the twins.
It was an early on a Monday when the team got called in before their usual start time. When they were all in OPS Nell began the briefing.
"Ok you guys remember that case from last year with Captain Davis and the missing CIA operatives?"
"Isn't that the guy that grabbed Kensi's ass and she almost castrated him?" asked Callen.
"Yep that's the guy." Nell brought up the photo of the Captain. "He went off the radar right after we had to let him go. Last week he was pulled over by a Las Vegas patrol office for a broken headlight. The officer let him go but it hit our radar and we have an address for him. He's now living in North Las Vegas and working at a local casino."
"So road trip?" Asked Deeks.
"Not so fast Mr. Deeks. I'm afraid if I send you and Mrs. Deeks it will be a red flag and he will go underground again." Hetty looked at Kensi. "That and we need him alive well not in the hospital."
Kensi shrugged.
"Mr. Callen and Miss. Anderson will go. The Captain had little contact with Mr. Callen at the time so it may not hit him right away." Hetty looked at the two. "I will need you to plant bugs and camera's in his home and if possible hit him with tracking spray."
"So what's our cover if we do run into him Hetty?"
"Vacationing couple." Hetty smirked. "Do what you need to Mr. Callen."
"I have you two booked in one of the smaller hotels off the strip. It's also located two blocks from his home."
"That will make it easy to keep track of his comings and goings." Said Cassie.
"I have the camera's and bugs ready to go." Eric handed them a small case. "The tracking spray is also there. The bottle is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and is attached to a ring so you can simply push this button." Eric showed her the button built into the ring. "And it will spray one dose." He pointed out a few mini refills he added also.
"Alright head home and pack you have a flight out in two hours." Said Hetty.
Two hours later Callen and Cassie were on a flight to Las Vegas. Cassie slept on the flight and Callen tried to read. He kept stopping and watching Cassie sleep. Once they were on the ground they rented a car and headed for the hotel. It was almost six when they were unpacked. They pulled up Captain Davis's address and decided to take a walk to check it out. Callen pulled on dark glasses and a ball cap and they headed out.
Two houses down they spotted the Captain getting out of his car and heading into the house. They waited and when he didn't come out they figured he was in for a while. Callen suggested dinner so they stated walking back. They were only a two blocks in the other direction to the strip so they headed that way. Callen called and checked in letting Hetty know they found him. Tomorrow they would place the bugs and camera's. Once they made sure they were working they could head back.
They ate at a small diner they found and then walked the strip for a while. Cassie tried her luck on the slots and won close to $500. Callen laughed and told her if she wanted to spend it on a TV when they got back he was ok with it. Cassie just smiled and pocketed the money.
By eleven they were back at the hotel making their plans for the next morning. Eric called saying that Davis stated his security job at Nine am. Cassie went to bed and Callen went over the plans of the house looking for the perfect places to plant everything. They were both up and ready to go by eight. They pulled their rental car two houses down and waited. Once they saw Davis leave they got out and headed over to the house. Cassie had a clip board and they both had name tags on for the local cable company.
Callen knocked and they waited. A minute later he picked the lock and they were in. He started bugging the phones while Cassie put camera's up in the living room and office. She called Eric to tell him there was a computer. Eric had her put in a coded USB and started the computer. In five minutes Eric had everything copied off of the computer.
Callen finished up and rooted thru the mail. Nothing there, he then did a quick walk thru and they left. They went back to the hotel and dropped off the case then headed to check out where Davis worked.
It took them an hour to find him on the floor. The place was crowded and he was deep in conversation with one of his security people. Callen called Eric to see if he could tap into the security camera's. Cassie got into positon behind Davis and waited. As soon as he was turned to the back of his head was blocking her she lifted her hand and hit the button spraying the back of his head with the tracking spray.
She quickly turned and sat down to play the machine that was the open. Davis turned and glanced at her then got a call on his radio and headed off. They still had to wait to make sure the devices were not spotted so they went to get lunch and to sight see.
Callen once again called in to Hetty with an update. Eric confirmed they had a view of his overlook tracking spray and that the cameras were operating. Hetty told them to enjoy themselves for now and to call in again that evening. Deeks yelled from the background to go see Phantom and Callen heard a sharp yelp and figured Kensi had hit him.
The rest of the day went fast as they checked out all the local tourist sights on the strip. They ate dinner at one of the buffets that Kensi told them about and headed to see the fountain light show at dusk. They were just settled in when Callen felt a hand on his shoulder.
Turning around he saw Davis standing there. "Special Agent Callen I thought that was you."
"Captain Davis how are you?"
"It's just Davis now I left the Navy last year, and I'm doing good. What brings you to Las Vegas?" Davis narrowed his eyes at Callen.
Callen wrapped his arm around Cassie. "Vacation with my girlfriend." Callen looked down at Cassie and smiled. She smiled up at him lovingly.
"So you two here to get married huh?" Davis smiled at them but Callen could see the doubt in his eyes.
"Well I'm trying to talk her into it."
"I said I would just not at the place where Elvis marries you. That's a bit too tacky for me." Cassie kept the smile on her face and leaned into Callen.
"Well lucky for you I know the owner of a place, I can get them to give you a big discount."
Davis pulled out his phone and made a call. Cassie looked at Callen and noticed the tense look in his eyes. Hetty did say do what they had to, but was this going too far to sell a cover.
"Ok guys they have a free spot in ten minutes lets go." Davis started walking and Callen shrugged and they followed him. Ten minutes later they were picking out wedding bands.
Cassie was about to have a panic attack but pushed it down.
"So Callen how's Blye doing these days?"
"Good still kicking the shit out of guys who grab her."
Davis laughed. "Yeah she did a number on me."
The minister handed Callen a pen and told him and Cassie where to sign. They had no choice but to sign their real names. Fifteen minutes later they were married. Davis seemed satisfied that they were not there for him by now and offered to buy them a drink to celebrate. They ended up at a bar on the strip and an hour later Davis got a phone call and told them he had to leave.
"Good luck Callen. Tell Blye I said hi."
Once they were alone Cassie looked at Callen. "Ok which one of us is telling Hetty?"
Callen downed his beer and looked at her. "Yeah this was not how I planned on our wedding going."
"Yeah but we still have to tell Hetty."
"I never should have teased Deeks and Kensi they are never going to let me live this down."
"Yeah but we weren't drunk just backed into a corner."
They headed back to their room and called in. Eric told them they hit the mother lode with the computer and that Davis was meeting with someone at his house right now about a hit on current CIA operatives in the Middle East.
He told them they had a flight out at six am and that the boarding passes would be ready for them to print when they got there. Callen decided to break the news to the team once they were back.
He was packing up their stuff when Cassie came out of the bedroom in a light blue barley there outfit. He dropped the bag on the floor and pinned her up against the nearest wall.
"How did I not know you packed that?"
"Well I figured after what happened you'd want a special wedding night." Cassie smiled up at him and Callen groaned.
"I really did want to give you a perfect wedding."
"It may not have been perfect but it's done and I don't plan on changing a thing."
Callen shook his head. "Are you sure, we haven't even know each other a full year."
"Callen you do realize I moved in with you after only three months. If I had a problem being married to you now I'd say something."
Cassie ran a finger down his chest. "Now I think my husband is way over dressed for what I have planned for."
Callen moved only far enough to pull his shirt up over his head then leaned back in to re-pin her to the wall. Cassie ran her fingers over the newly exposed skin and groaned as Callen began to kiss down her neck.
They both hoped that Eric wouldn't be calling them tonight with any problems. A minute later Callen had his pants off and had lifted Cassie up off the ground. He had no idea how he got so lucky to find this woman but he was no way ever letting her go. He also realized he owed Michelle and Sam a huge thank you.
The next morning they flew out and headed back to LA. This time Cassie managed to stay awake. Callen held her hand the entire flight and constantly played with her wedding band. He couldn't seem to take his eyes off of it.
They landed and got their car and headed to the Mission to check in. Everyone was up in OPS going over the recordings they had gotten over night.
"Mr. Callen, Miss Anderson so good to see you." Hetty smiled.
"Um Hetty we have something to tell you." Callen looked at Cassie and they both held up their hands showing the rings.
"OMG!" Nell said. Sam simply pulled out a fifty and handed it over to Deeks.
"Sam you bet on us?"
"Didn't think you had it in you G."
"Well we didn't have any choice." Callen went into the story of how Davis had called them on why they were there. "Hetty you did say to what we had to."
"Yes I did." Hetty looked at them. "So I take it the marriage is legal?"
"Yeah we had to use our own names. Davis knew me so we didn't have any choice."
Callen wrapped his arm around Cassie. "We didn't plan on doing this so fast but we are happy with how it ended up."
Sam was shaking his head and laughing. "I told you so G, I told you so."
"Yeah Sam you did and you were right, she is the only the girl for me."
Nest up telling Cassie's Dad.
