Undercover Hostage
Chapter 4:
The door was opened to the ops building and one of men smirked before gesturing for the agents to enter. Kensi rolled her eyes before she stepped through the doorway her heels clicking on the stone floor. As she did, however, a hand wrapped tightly around Kensi's upper arm and she was roughly pulled sideways. Pushing back the reflex to slam her elbow into her attackers stomach as she was swung around she simply allowed herself to be pushed forward when she felt the cold metal of a blade against her throat.
As she was pushed back into the main area where everyone was still being held at gunpoint she found Deeks and Sam's eyes nodded imperceptibly to them at their concerned looks. Her gaze flitted to Eric who was sitting on the ground against the wall. His foot has been wrapped up with material that looked suspiciously like the shirt Deeks had been wearing earlier that day. A wave of pride swept through her when the extremely pale technician caught her eye and smiled weakly.
She was pushed forward until she and Callen stood in front of the main man once again.
"Ah Mr. Callen thank you very much" he said as he reached for the case that Callen still held,
"Get these off us" the man just scoffed in mock humour at Callen's request as he gestured to his chest over where the explosives still lay.
"I don't think so at least not just yet. Now get back in the line Agent Callen" the senior agent quickly glanced at Kensi who met his eyes before he turned back to the man in front of him with a frown.
"Who are you?" he asked gruffly and the man smiled disturbingly.
"You know Agent Callen we are quite similar in many ways"
"We are not similar" Callen spat,
"And yet we are" he said,
"And in response to your first question I am known by many names, as are you. You see...similar. You however may refer to me as ah...Patrick Burns..yes" he said and it was obvious that he'd plucked the name from out of the air.
"Back in the line Agent Callen" Burns ordered but Callen turned as a gasp that was almost too quiet to hear escaped Kensi's lips. Callen tensed as he caught sight of red on the blade that was still held to her throat by some thug.
"Off you go" Burns said in an almost sing song voice and Callen held Kensi's gaze for another moment before she nodded and he turned walking back towards Sam and the others. As he walked however Burns began talking,
"And in regards to your question before your little outing Mr Callen the one of what it is we're doing here the first thing I want is a case file and all the evidence that comes with it" he said,
"Which one?" Kensi asked and they could all hear the annoyance in her voice. As Callen turned around once he'd taken his place back next to Sam he had the chance to see how many armed men were standing around the ops building. He also noted with satisfaction that Kensi, while being held in an awkward and uncomfortable position didn't look scared or worried at all, instead just really pissed off. Callen lips quirked up for a moment, that was their girl.
"The Richards case" Burns said focusing on Kensi smiling at her,
"You know I might let you keep that dress pretty it's very flattering" again Kensi just rolled her eyes causing him to chuckle before turning away,
"So Mr Callen have you heard of the case I'm looking for"
"Never heard of it" Callen replied back but his fists clenched as the man holding Kensi pulled the knife closer to her drawing blood. He watched the red liquid trickle down Kensi's neck.
"And you Ms Lange do you have any knowledge you believe to be relevant here" Burns asked turning to look at Hetty who Callen noticed had been moved into the middle of the room and was now sitting at the table. He wondered what had happened while he and Kensi had been out.
"I too have never heard of it Mr Burns" Hetty said calmly her lips still pursed together,
"We will need to look it up if we are to get you what you would like" the operations manager explained.
Burns stalked towards the table and pushed a computer in front Hetty. The woman however just arched her head upwards to look at the man before she chucked slightly.
"Oh this is certainly not my speciality Mr Burns and we'll most certainly need to do this upstairs on our own system" Burns almost growled as he turned back to the lines,
"Mr Beale are you up to this or should we ask your delightful young partner" he said swivelling around to search the line of women,
"Ah there you are Miss Jones, care to join us" Nell's face was carefully composed but the team could see the apprehension. Hetty nodded when Nell's eyes found hers and she stepped forward.
"Right Miss Lange, Miss Jones shall we?" Burns said pleasantly, a fake smile plastered on his face.
Hetty and Nell met at the bottom of the stairs and began up the stairs as Burns and a group of the other men followed. Half way up however the man turned back a frown on his face,
"Pearson, pretty...lets go" he said and the man who held Kensi who they now knew as Pearson fisted his hand into Kensi's hair and her head was yanked backwards roughly before he thrust her body forward, pushing her towards the stairs.
Callen shared a look with Sam and Deeks as the trio watched the three women of their team walk up the stairs surrounded by men carrying weapons.
It was almost fifteen minutes before Callen spied movement on the balcony. Burns walked out onto the raised platform gun in hand. He leant against the railing looking down upon them.
"You Mr Callen lied to me" he said coldly,
"Davids why don't you bring Mr Callen, Mr Hanna, Mr Deeks, Mr Getz and Mr Beale up here to join the ladies. Half way up the stairs with Nate and Sam supporting Eric, a gunshot pierced the silence of the ops building and Burns turned to stride into the room behind him.
