Chapter 4
Callen slowly opened his eyes, stretching, he froze at the feel of the warm body beside him. Looking down, he was assaulted by a wave of memories from the night before. Remembering the feel of her skin, the taste of her lips and her intoxicating smell. Sighing he wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer, embracing the feeling of her warm body. Closing his eyes, unwilling to face the reality that was creeping in. He knew that it was wrong, he's the senior agent and to a point her boss. But why did it feel so right, so natural to have her in his arms. Looking down at her peaceful face, for the first time sense Alex he felt hope and loved.
"Morin G" Kensi whispered as she singled deeper into his warm chest.
"Kens" Callen replied sighing.
The pair stared into each other's eyes, until Callen gained the courage to ask the question that had being plaguing him sense he woke up with her in his arms. "Do you regret it? Because if you do then we can always go back to being friends and team mates..." But was cut of mid sentence by Kensi kissing him forcefully, causing him to release a moan. Looking at the man who had broken through all her walls over the last two months, this caring but damaged man, who had suffered so much in his life and who she had started to fall for sense they met. Rolling over to saddle him, resting her forehead against his. "Never" she whispered, watching happily as the uncertainty left his eyes, replaced with passion and lust. Leaning down again, the kiss was slow, filled with desire and love.
The two agents were interrupted by the amber alert being sent to their phones, requesting the team to report to ops immediately. Looking at each other, the pair both got out of bed, searching for their clothes. Once they found all their and were ready. Callen texted Sam giving him his new address, sense he had moved apartments recently, again. As Callen finished typing his text, Kensi came out of the bathroom, while she was pulling her hair into a bun. Walking towards Callen she wrapped her arms around him, looking up into his deep blue eyes. "Will talk about this later okay" she reassured, after nodding he pulled her into a deep kiss before saying goodbye before she left to head towards the operations center.
I5 minutes after Kensi had left, Sam pulled up to Callen's new rooming house. Turing around at the familiar roar of Sam's charger, Callen moved towards the back seat, placing his go back beside his partner's before joining Sam in the front. "Is this genuine" Callen asked as he placed himself in the passenger's side.
"Apparently" Sam replied with frown, both having enough experience to know that amber alerts could always turn sour. The agents made their way towards the operations center commonly shorten to ops. About half way through the drive, Callen turned towards his partner of three years. A friend, who he could see as a brother, family doesn't always include blood. A lesson he had started to learn with Alex, and now with his team at NCIS. "What's up G?" Sam asked, while keeping his eyes on the road, after noticing his partner staring at him with a thoughtful look, Drawing Callen out of his thoughts.
"Nothing, any updates?" he replied dodging the question, and changing the subject. "Not after the amber alert" Sam spoke after minute of silence, with a look between thoughtful and worried. Although he dropped it knowing that G would share when he was ready, he usually did, of you didn't push too hard. The rest of the drive was spent in silence, with Callen thinking about this "thing" between him and Kensi. While Sam tried to figure what was on his partners mind, hoping he would be able to keep his head in the "game" with this amber alert.
Once they reached the office, they were sent right up to ops were the two senior agents were greeted by Kensi, Eric and Nate the residential physiologist of field operations. After greeting each other Callen, turned towards the techie "What do we have Eric?" he asked in an urgent voice. Looking towards the agents and physiologist, Eric took a deep breath before giving the team the case details of the amber alert. "Meet Mandy Patel, aged ten, Admiral Patel's daughter. Reported missing this morning, at 8am, an hour ago the Admiral received this video" the techie replied. Pulling up a video showing Mandy being held by two masked men requesting $10,000 dollars, and access to the navel personal files, giving them 24 hours before they killed the girl. Once the screen went blank, Callen turned towards his team giving them their instructions.
"Kensi, go see the admiral, maybe he can shed some light on this. Take Nate with you, and call us if you get anything. Sam you and I will work the crime scene see what we can dig up". The team leader ordered before leaving the ops center, Sam right behind him.
Walking inside the boat shed, Kensi and Nate approached the Admiral. "Admiral Patel, I'm Special agent Kensi Blye and this is our physiologist Nate Getz. I'm sorry for the circumstances " she introduced, offering her deepest sympathies.
"Thank you, please call me John" the admiral responded with a catch in his voice.
"Is there anyone you think cloud have enough of a grudge against you to do this" Kensi asked.
"It could be anyone, from the various operations, I've ran over the past few months" he responded.
"Were going to need your case files, all the information about your previous operations" Nate put in.
"Anything you need, just please bring my daughter home "John replied in a painful voice.
"Will do our best to bring your daughter home, safe and sound" Kensi reassured the Admiral.
After going through the required questions to cover all the bases, which may be the key to finding Mandy and returning her home safely. Once they had copies of the Admiral's past operations, Kensi and Nate headed back to the office to scroll through a few hundreds of documents.
Across downtown Callen and Sam were searching through the Admiral's residence, after showing their badges to the uniform officer guarding the door. The pair had been searching the house for half an hour, and had managed to come up with nothing, no prints or DNA. "These guys are pro" Sam commented as the searched Mandy's bedroom.
"Not quite, Sam" Callen spoke with that sparkle in his eyes.
"What have you got" he asked as he moved towards his partner.
"Thank god, for worried parents" Callen smirked, pulling a hidden camera out from the book case.
"Will give it to Eric, see what he can get of it" Sam spoke.
Once the Callen and Sam were finished interviewing the lady next door, who watched Mandy in the mornings because of the Admiral's job. The two agents discovered the Mandy went missing between 12pm and 7am creating a better timeline increasing Mandy's chances of returning home.
When Callen and Sam reached the bullpen they met with Kensi and Nate who were searching through, all the admiral's files, giving Eric the camera, Callen and Sam sat down to dive into these files, to give this little a girl the best chance of survival. Four hours later with time running out, Eric came out towards the balcony, giving his signature whistle to summon the team. He informed them that after scrolling through the video he found the scene of two men white males at 6am, preforming the kidnapping, identifying them as members of The Michoacán drug cartel. After cross referencing the kidnapping video and known addresses of the drug cartel, Eric was able to narrow down the possibilities to two buildings in downtown Los Angeles. "Eric put another team on the second address. Sam, Kensi gear up, we're nearly out of time" Callen ordered as he moved towards the armory.
Moving in to position, the three agents quietly advanced on the targets building. After silently counting to three the team moved in, breaking the door down, announcing federal agents. Clearing the building they came to the end room were one suspect was pointing a gun at Mandy, while the other one was pointing one at the agents. Seeing they were surrounded and outnumbered the suspects got more and more worried, ignoring the agents chances to give up and work something out. After going back and forth the suspect's pushed the girl to the ground, choosing to fire upon the agents. Before they got a chance to cause any serious harm, the three agents opened fire. After the suspects were disarmed and restrained, Kensi called for bus for the girl, while the senior agents worked on getting the now scared girl out from under the table where she had hid.
20 minutes later, the Admiral pulled up running straight towards his daughter, pulling her into a big embrace, swearing he would never let her go again. During the emotional reunion, the agents looked on happy with the days result, all knowing how bad it could have ended up.
"Agent Blye, thank you, thank you all for bring her home, anything you need" the Admiral spoke with gratitude.
"You're welcome, she a great kid" Kensi replied with a warm voice, before he left taking his daughter home.
"Go home, will do de-briefs tomorrow" Callen ordered before moving towards his car.
A few hours later, the pair was lounging on Callen couch, with her wrapped in his arms. When he asked her about this morning "so, you want to talk about it" he asked nervously. Staring down into his kind blue eyes she gave his a reassuring smile before leaning down to kiss him in a soft gentle way. Whispering against his lips she finally gave him an answer "I'm not sure where this will lead, but I would like to really try and see". Looking at her miss matched eyes, he could see she was telling the truth. Silently he picked her up carrying her towards his bedroom, putting her gently down on his bed. Whispering his love into her ear, he spent hour's memorizing and worshiping her body. Before they fell into a peaceful sleep wrapped into each other's warm embrace, both had fears, but they would get through them together.
