Kensi was starting to get tired, whether that was from the amount of struggling she was doing trying to free her hands or from the amount of blood she was losing she wasn't so sure. She countered to herself 1...2...3 and she gave her hands an almighty tug on the rail. The tape split, releasing itself from the rail which sent her sprawling forwards from the force of it, Kensi let out a painful gasp as she landed as it caused the knife to waggle in her side. She lay there completely still for a few seconds to catch her breath and steady herself. She felt her phone buzzing in her pocket, she moved her still taped up but newly freed from the rail hands towards her back pocket and pull it out and dropped it to the floor. Kensi sat herself up, turned around so she had her back and hands towards the phone then leaned back towards her phone, looking over her shoulder so she could see Kensi answered the phone, "Eric, Nell?", Kensi turned back around facing forwards and look down onto the phone.

"Kensi? It's Nell; I've been trying you for ages, are you okay?" She asked. Kensi tried shuffling into a position that wasn't painful but couldn't, kneeling up and bending over was putting too much pressure on the knife which was agony so she laid on her good side next to the phone, "Not really, I'm tied up with a knife in my side, bleeding" she answered, her voice strained.

Nell turned to Eric eyes wide with fear for Kensi, "How bad is it" she asked Kensi whilst Eric called down to Hetty to come up to Ops ASAP. "I'm not a doctor but I don't think it's great. I can't pull the knife out but I can't move with it in, it's too painful. My shirt is soaked but there's no pooling on the floor so hey, not all bad, ha" Kensi trailed off trying to make light of the situation. Hetty entered the room and immediately spoke to the screen, which was showing the ceiling of the house seen as Kensi couldn't look into the phone but Hetty could hear Kensi's ragged breathing in the background, "Ms Blye, are you alone in the house?" she asked. Kensi took a deep breath to answer "Yeah, everybody left when they'd finished with me. They caught me off guard Hetty, I saw a body on the floor but it wasn't real, they had Ruby and I got into combat with one of the guys who disarmed whilst I was looking at the 'body', we were on the floor grappling then I got stabbed-I think, I'm not sure, I think I passed out. When I came round I was tied up."

"Mr Beale how far out is Emergency Services?" Hetty asked, Eric checked his tablet, "6 minutes" he replied. Hetty turned back to the screen, "Nell call Mr Callen and tell him to get over to the house now, enter with caution. Do not explain what has happened to Kensi just yet; make sure Mr Hanna & Deeks go with him. Kensi can you hear me?" she asked.

Kensi was taking deep breaths trying to control the pain, still trying to free her bound hands, "Just about, I'm starting to feel sleepy though," Kensi said. Hetty's eyes closed briefly, knowing that what Kensi had just said wasn't good. "Help is on the way Ms Blye so don't be falling to sleep just yet – that's an order".

Callen took out his phone "Nell?" he answered. Callen waved at Deeks and Sam to follow him as he made his way over to the car, "We are on our way, patch us through to Kensi," he told her. Deeks and Sam got in the car, "What's up? Where we going and why patch us through to Kensi?" Deeks asked a little panic showing in his voice. Callen concentrated on driving as he spoke, "Nell, she just told me Kensi was in trouble and we needed to get back to the house now." Deeks and Sam looked instantly concerned.

"Do I put them through to Kensi's phone like Callen asked?" Nell asked Hetty. Hetty frowned and paused a moment to think, "No you don't, I think Kensi is better off conserving her energy. I will talk to Mr Callen."

Callens phone rang, "Hetty, what's going on. I asked Nell to patch us through to Kensi and she hasn't" he said, his voice annoyed. Hetty spoke carefully and slowly as she replied to Callen, "Kensi is alone in the house, as far as she is aware. She was involved in hand to hand combat with someone when she entered the house and in the process Ms Blye was stabbed, help is on the medically but I need you all to stay calm for Kensi's sake."

Kensi – Stabbed – Kensi – Stabbed is all that went through Deeks mind, like a stuck record. Oh, my god he thought, Kensi, his Kensi was hurt and alone. He had to be there, be with his partner. "Callen put your foot down!" he shouted at his colleague. Callen floored the accelerator and sped down the road. Sam stayed calm and looked out the window, "keep calm Deeks, Kensi's strong and stubborn, she won't let this beat her," he said.

Kensi looked around the room and noticed a thin wire running along the floor edging about six inches high, across the door, infact all the way around the room. She forced herself to get up on her so she could take a look. "Ugh, oh my god that hurts. Breathe just breathe" she said out loud. "Ms Blye, are you okay?" Hetty's voice filled the room making Kensi jump, she had forgotten she was on speakerphone. Hetty asked again after no answer came, "Kensi? Ms Blye!" Kensi still didn't answer, her thoughts completely transfixed one the sight before her. Kensi spoke, as loud as she could but voice raspy, "Hetty, don't let anyone come in here, the house is rigged to explosives, there is a trip wire to a timer going all the way round the living room, anyone comes through the door...and the windows and the house will blow up".
