"Clara sweetie, wait. I'm gonna call daddy first before we go in okay," Jenny said and she walked back to the car with Clara.
"What's wrong mommy?" Clara said.
"I'm just gonna call daddy first okay," Jenny said and she pulled out her phone and called Callen.
Callen sat behind his desk working on some paper work when his phone rang.
"Hey honey," Callen said as he answered his phone.
"Hey honey, could you come home?"
"Jenny, everything okay? Is something wrong with you or Clara?" Callen asked worried, sitting up in his chair. They others all looked at him as he said that, wondering what was going on.
"No, we're fine. I just think someone broke into the house."
"Alright, I'm on my way," Callen said and he hung up.
"Everything okay G?" Sam asked.
"Someone tried to break into my house."
"Oh my god, Are Jenny and Clara okay?' Kensi asked.
"They're fine. I gotta go, I'll see you later," Callen said.
"I'm coming with you G," Sam said and both of them went to Callen's house.
15 minutes later they arrived at his house and saw Jenny and Clara standing outside at her car. They got out of Callen's car and made their way over to them.
"Daddy!" Clara said once she saw him and she ran up to him.
"Hey sweetie," Callen said as he picked her up and gave her a kiss. "Hey Jen, what's going on?"
"I went to go shopping with Clara and when I came back the door was open and it looked like someone tampered with the lock," Jenny said.
"Did you go in?"
"No, as soon as I saw I called you."
"Alright, I'm just gonna go check if everything safe inside. Clara, sweetie, stay here with mommy until I get back okay."
"Okay daddy," Clara said.
Callen and Sam made their way to the front door and grabbed their guns and checked every room in the house. Nobody was their anymore but some things were broken and lying on the floor. Callen walked back outside to Jenny and Clara.
"Nobody is inside anymore honey but you were right, someone did break in," Callen said.
"Damn it," Jenny said.
"Listen, I want you and Clara to go to the office and wait for me there okay. Sam and I are just gonna look through the house."
"Alright. Could I just get some of Clara's stuff then?"
"I'll grab them for you okay."
A couple minutes later Callen came back out with Clara's stuffed teddy bear and penguin and her bag.
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Clara said and she looked at him with sad eyes.
"I just want you to go with mommy for now okay. Daddy has to do some things at the house here with Uncle Sam. Mommy will take you to see Aunts Kensi, Nell and Hetty and Uncles Deeks and Eric okay?"
"Okay daddy," Clara said and he picked her up and gave her a kiss before putting her in her car seat.
"I'll see you later okay," Callen said and he gave Jenny a kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too."
Jenny got into the car and drove to the office and Callen went back inside to Sam.
"You have any idea who wanted to break into your house G?" Sam said.
"No, not a clue. As far as I know the only one that knows I life here, besides you guys and Jenny's family, is Arkady and I made it clear to him last time not to send anyone else to my house," Callen said.
"Did they take anything G?"
"Not that I can see at first sight," Callen said as he put his gloves on.
Sam moved over to the door and saw that someone had tampered with it. It almost looked like if someone smashed the door open.
"Got a boot print here on the door, looks like a size 11," Sam said as he took a photo of it and sent it to Eric.
They continued to look around the house for any clues. Sam felt weird being here in his partner's house and looking through his stuff.
Jenny pulled up into the parking lot at the office and she took Clara out of her seat and took her bag and walked inside with her.
"Hello Mrs. Callen, is everything okay with you?" Hetty asked as she walked in.
"Yes Hetty I'm fine, thank you. We weren't there with it happened," Jenny said. "G and Sam are looking through the house now and he asked me to stay here until they were finished."
"That's fine," Hetty said and she walked back to her office and Jenny walked to the bullpen with Clara.
"Hey Clara," Deeks said as he saw her.
"Uncle Deeks!" Clara said and she let go of Jenny's hand and walked up to Deeks and Deeks picked her up.
"You've gotten big Clara."
"I'm almost thwee," Clara said as she held up 3 fingers, causing Jenny, Deeks and Kensi to laugh.
"Yes I know. And you're gonna be a big sister soon. You like that?"
"Yes!" Clara said jumping up and down in his arms. "I love baby brother."
Jenny looked at her as she said that. They hadn't told anyone that they were having a boy.
"You guys are having a boy?" Kensi asked.
"Yes we are, but we weren't planning on telling anyone," Jenny said.
"Don't worry, our lips are sealed."
"Thank you."
"Mommy, can I go play?" Clara asked.
"Sure," Jenny said and she grabbed her bag and put it next to the couch and Deeks put Clara back on the ground and Clara walked over to Jenny. "You can play here sweetie."
"Okay mommy," Clara said and Jenny gave her a kiss on her head and she sat down on the couch so she could keep an eye on her and Kensi and Deeks joined her.
"Do you have any idea who would break into your house?" Kensi asked.
"No, not a clue. I hope nothing's missing," Jenny said.
"I'm sure Callen and Sam will find something."
"I hope so," Jenny said slightly worried. The thought of someone going through their stuff freaked her out.
About an hour later Callen and Sam walked back into the office.
"Daddy!" Clara yelled and she put down her toys down and ran, as fast as her little legs could carry her, over to Callen.
"Hey sweetie," Callen said and he walked over to her and picked her up and gave her a kiss. "Have you been good to mommy?"
"Yes I have."
"Good."
"Hey G," Jenny said as she walked over to them. "Did you find anything?"
"Sam found a boot print on the door and we found some finger prints in the house. We send them over to Eric to check the system and also asked him to check any cameras near our house."
"Okay."
"Don't worry honey, we'll find out who broke into our house," Callen said and he gave her a kiss.
"Was anything missing?"
"No, not that I could tell. Some things were broken, but don't worry I'll fix those."
"Who would do something like this?" Jenny said as she sat down in Callen's chair.
"I don't know."
"I've gotta ask Jenny," Sam said. "Did anything out of the ordinary happen lately? Like weird phone calls, letters or such. Or seeing the same car around the neighborhood or felt like you were being followed."
"Not that I can think off. Well maybe a car, but I'm not sure. I saw a car over the last couple of days in our street that I didn't recognize, but I never saw anyone in their so I just figured it belonged to one of the neighbors or someone visiting them."
"Why didn't you tell me that?" Callen said.
"I didn't think anything of it. I never had the feeling that the person in the car was watching us."
"Do you remember if the car was there when you left today?" Sam asked.
"Yes I think it was."
"Do you know what it looks like?"
"I think it was black," Jenny said and she closed her eyes trying to remember what the car looked like. "I believe it was a ford, but not an estate. It was smaller and I think the license plate ended with 85."
"Alright," Sam said and he walked upstairs to pass the information to Eric.
"Do you really think that car had something to do with it?"
"It could be. We're just gonna check everything out. At this point I have no idea either who would break in our house," Callen said.
"Daddy, can we go home?" Clara asked.
"I'm sorry sweetie, not yet okay. Daddy has to take care of some things first okay."
"I wanna go home," Clara said and she started crying.
"Shhhhh sweetie, it's okay. You can home soon okay sweetie," Callen tried to calm her down but she wouldn't stop crying.
"Come here sweetie," Jenny said as she took her from Callen. "I think it's time for you to get some sleep okay."
Jenny walked to the gym with her for some peace and quiet. Jenny lay her down on the mat and pulled her blanket out of the bag and put it over her and Jenny lay down next to her.
"Shhh sweetie, it's okay. Just try to go to sleep okay. Mommy is gonna stay her with you okay."
Clara crawled closer to Jenny and Jenny put her arm around her. A little later Clara had fallen asleep. Jenny just stayed next to her, afraid that she would wake up if she moved. About 30 minutes later Callen came to check on them and he saw that they both had fallen asleep. They looked so peaceful there together. Callen quietly walked out of the gym and closed the door behind him and he went upstairs to see if Eric and Nell had found something.
"I looked at the cameras in your neighborhood and I think I saw the car that Jenny mentioned," Eric said and he put the video up on the screen. "This car has been spotted in your street for the last couple of days."
They saw a man getting out and he walked up to the house he parked in front of.
"Do you know who lives there G?" Sam asked.
"No not really. I do know that someone new moved in there about a month ago I think, but I've never seen that car before. Eric, can you see who owns that house?"
"Yeah just a minute," Eric said and he started typing on his tablet. "That house is owned by Chris and Mary Newton." Eric put their photos up and the screen and Callen stood still and stared at the screen.
"You know them G?" Callen didn't respond, he just kept staring at the screen. "G?"
Callen turned back around and he saw that everyone was staring at him.
"What's going on G?"
"I know them but not as Chris and Mary Newton. I knew them as James and Victoria Brown," Callen said and Eric started typing the names on his tablet. "I know them from when I was in the CIA."
"They were suspects?"
"Not really, they were agents just like me. We were on a mission together that went south. I barely made it out of there, we suspected that they were dead, but a year later they resurfaced, but they had crossed over to the other side. We tried to catch them but we hadn't succeeded by the time I left the CIA and I never heard anything about them every again."
"You think they're coming after you now?"
"It's possible," Callen said and a thought hit him. "Eric, see what you can find on the others that were in that team." Callen gave Eric the names and he and Nell started searching.
As they were doing that Jenny and Clara came walking into OPS. Callen just stared at her, he really didn't want her here during this.
"What's going on G?"
"We're just looking for the person who broke into our house," Callen half lied to her.
"Yes I'm aware of that. What else is going on?"
"Nothing."
"G Callen," Jenny said and she put her hand, that wasn't holding Clara, on her hip. "What are you not telling me?"
"Nothing."
"Yeah sure. You're lying, I can tell," Jenny said and Callen knew he wasn't going to get away with this.
"Fine. That care you found in our street we found it and we saw which house he entered and who owned that house."
"Yes and….."
"And we found out that house belongs to two former CIA agents who I worked with."
"What do you mean former?"
"They crossed over to the other side."
Jenny got scared the moment he said that. She couldn't deal with this right now. She handed Clara to Callen and walked out of OPS. Callen saw the fear in her eyes. He handed Clara to Sam and walked after her.
"Jenny, wait," he said as he saw her walk outside but Jenny didn't wait.
Callen walked after her and found her sitting outside on a bench and he sat next to her.
"Honey, it's gonna be okay. We'll find out if they were the ones who broke into our house," Callen said as he put his arm around her and pulled her to him.
"I just don't wanna lose you honey," Jenny said half crying.
"You're not going to lose me sweetie. There's no way I would leave you, Clara and our baby boy behind."
"It's just I remember what happened last time one of your co-workers crossed over, you nearly died. And I can't handle it if you die."
"Oh honey, I'm not gonna die, well eventually I will when we're old and wrinkled," Callen tried to joke. "But not anytime soon. I'm gonna stay here with you, Clara and our little baby boy. I'm not going anywhere sweetie, don't worry sweetie."
"Just promise me you'll be careful if these are the people who broke into our house," Jenny said sitting up again.
"I promise sweetie," Callen said and he gave her a kiss and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I love you."
"I love you too."
"Come on, let's go see what they have found. The sooner we find them, the sooner we can go home," Callen said and they walked back upstairs.
"Everything okay?" Sam asked when they walked back in and they saw that Clara had fallen asleep again in Sam's arms.
"Yeah everything's fine."
"Got anything new?" Jenny asked.
"Yes but nothing good," Eric said.
"What is it Eric?" Callen asked.
"We looked at the names you gave us and this is what we found," Eric said and he put the files up on the screen.
Jenny's heart sank as she looked at the incident reports. All of the other members had been killed. Callen remembered the conversation they had earlier and he put an arm around her and pulled her to him.
"Don't worry honey," he whispered into her ear. "Were the killed by James and Victoria?"
"The police identified those two as suspects and when they were informed by the CIA that those were two former employees, they handed the case over to the CIA. The last murder was 2 weeks ago."
"Can you pull up the CIA file?"
Nell started typing at her tablet but she couldn't get in and neither could Eric. Jenny walked over to the computer and started typing a few minutes later she had the CIA report on the screen.
"How did you get in?" Eric asked.
"I hacked it." Jenny said.
"How did you manage to do that?"
"I've got a few tricks up my sleeve," Jenny said and she grabbed her tablet and started looking through the data. "Alright, according to the CIA the crimes were committed by them but so far they haven't managed to track them down successfully. The last place they were seen was in San Francisco."
"That's where the last murder took place," Nell said.
They all watched as the doors to OPS opened and they saw Hetty stepping inside and she looked angry.
"I just got off the phone with the CIA. Which one of you just hacked into the CIA?" Hetty said.
"That would be me Hetty," Jenny said.
"Why on earth did you do that?"
"We needed information for our case and they had it. We think someone who is living across the street from us broke into our house and it turned out that they worked with G in the CIA but they had crossed over and killed everyone else in their team so far. Only G is left."
"I see. Well under the circumstances I see why you did it, just don't do it ever again."
"I won't Hetty."
"Good, now what do we have?"
"The CIA suspects that they killed the other members of the team. The car that was parked in our street belonged to them, or at least to someone they know. We think that's the person who broke into our house."
"Do we know who he is?"
"No, haven't gotten anything on facial reg so far," Eric said.
"Alright, Mr. Callen I want you to go home again, if they are really after you they will come out."
"What?! You're really going to send him out there, when there could possibly life killers across the street who wants him dead," Jenny screamed.
"Mrs. Callen, calm down please, I wasn't finished yet. Mr. Callen will go home and Mr. Hanna, Mr. Deeks and Ms. Blye will provide backup. If they are going to try something they will all be at the house within minutes. I want you to stay here Mrs. Callen I don't want you or Clara around there when it happens."
Jenny looked at Callen slightly worried.
"Don't worry honey, everything will be alright. This is probably the best idea to flush them out. They have been there for a month and they didn't do anything until today and they waited for you to leave. So if they want me they would probably try it sooner when I'm alone. Don't worry, I've got Sam, Kensi and Deeks to back me up. I'll be fine. The sooner we can wrap this up, the sooner we can all go home okay."
"Okay, just be careful."
"I will," Callen said and he gave her a kiss and he wanted to walk out of OPS but Jenny stopped him.
Jenny pulled him back to her and kissed him hard. She didn't care that they were in the middle of OPS and that the others were standing around them, she just needed to kiss him. The others decided to walk out of OPS to give them some privacy.
"I'm gonna be fine sweetie. Don't worry about me too much, that's not good for you or the baby," Callen said as he rubbed her stomach. "I'll be back before you know it okay."
"Just come back in one piece okay."
"I will, don't worry," Callen said and he kissed her again. "I love you."
"I love you too," Jenny said and they walked downstairs.
They saw Clara lying on the couch, still asleep.
"You good G?" Sam asked.
"Yeah I'm good. Let's go."
Jenny sat next to Clara on the couch.
"Don't worry Mrs. Callen, everything will be alright," Hetty said.
"I'm just worried something is gonna happen to him."
"I'm sure everything will be just fine. And he's not there alone. Just rest up and as soon as I hear from him I'll let you know okay."
"Okay," Jenny said and Hetty went back to her office.
Callen arrived back at his house. The door was already repaired so he closed it again and sat down on the chair. He didn't like just sitting her and waiting for them to strike. Sam was just down the road in his car, Kensi and Deeks were just down the block sitting on the bench.
"How's it looking out there Sam?" Callen asked.
"Quiet. Nothing's happening yet."
"I feel like a sitting duck right now."
"Don't worry G, as soon as we spot them we've got them."
They sat there for like 2 hours already and nothing had happened. Callen wondered if they were wrong about them breaking into his house and them trying to kill him. He went up to get something to drink when he heard glass shattering. He quickly ducked away and grabbed his gun.
"G, you alright?"
"I'm good. I can't say the same thing though for my front window."
"Kensi, Deeks, find out where the shot came from."
"On it," Kensi said.
"G, got a guy coming up to your house," Sam said and he moved in. "Federal agent! Hold it right there!"
The guy turned around and started shooting. Sam ducked away and shot back at him, hitting him in the chest. Sam moved over and cleared him of his gun and he was dead.
"One down G."
"Anything on the shooter Kens?"
"No, nothing yet," Kensi said.
A second later there were more shots fired at Callen's house. Sam quickly ducked away out of the line of fire and he looked around trying to find out where the shots were coming from.
"You good in there, G?" Sam asked but there was no answer. "G!" Sam yelled but again no answer.
