Thanks for all the views, reviews and follows. Didn't expect to get such a response. I'm having some fun doing this. Will say last nights episode "Frozen Lake" was good.

This chapter is full of action and enlightens more into the case. I had a lot of fun writing this out. Hope you enjoy it. Keep the reviews coming.

I dont own NCIS LA or its characters only my OC.


Callen and Sam walk back into ops after visiting Sergeant Myers and as soon as Callen clears the Ops door he looks at Eric and Nell. "What did you find out guys?"

Nell looks from her monitor and turns to Callen and Sam flashes a photo of the tattoo on screen, "The tattoo belongs to members of the Liao Liao, The Chosen Few, its a new up and coming gang in Los Angeles. Suspected to having Chinese military backing. Some of its founding members were from the Chinese Army."

Eric picks up the details "Mostly operate out of Long Beach, typical gang activity, protection, prostitution, gambling, drugs. Their leader is Yu Fan Lin, ex Chinese army, emigrated in 1999, went to college then fell off the grid for awhile. Reappeared as the leader of Liao Liao in 2009." Photos appear of Yu on the monitors.

"He was used as a conduit for selling knock off electronics and goods supplied to him by Chinese generals, also weapons, and drugs. Intelligence points to a falling out between Yu and his Chinese backers awhile ago," Nell finishes it up.

"Looks like the relationship may of started up again. You think Yu is gonna try and sell the helmet to the Chinese?" Sam rubs his chin while he talks to Callen. He does that when he is deep in thought.

Callen nods his head "That or Yu was under orders from the Chinese. The Ministry of State Security could of approached Liao Liao on the sly. That way if things go sideways the Chinese will have deniability."

"Makes sense, G."

Just then Callen's phone rings. He looks down and see that its Kensi calling him from Edwards. He answers the phone. "What's up Kensi?"

Kensi, Deek's and Matt are standing outside Nic Crumble's apartment with other OSI agents. Matt is talking with Major Wojochenski, Deek's is just walking out of Crumble's front door and towards Kensi.

"We finished up looking over the crime scene. No new information from there that OSI hasn't already given us. Matt's contacts in OSI gave us the name of a Civilian Contractor from Timmons Defense Systems, a Nic Crumble. Supposedly his access card was used to access the hangar and the equipment room last night at the time of the shooting. He called it in missing this morning then didn't come into work. OSI agents went to his place and he wasn't there. We arrived and took a look around. Looks like he left on his own, no signs of forced entry or a struggle. You get anything off the Sergeant or the videos?"

Eric takes a look at Callen and knows what Callen wants him to do without asking. He starts doing a search on Nic Crumble.

"The Sergeant remembered seeing a tattoo on the arm of the shooter. Eric was able to tie it to a Chinese gang out of Long Beach with Chinese military connections. We think they may of arranged for the gang to steal the helmet and sell it to mainland China," Callen fills her in. He has a theory forming in his head.

Deek's takes Kensi's phone from her ear and hits the speakerphone button. "Callen one of the neighbors said Crumble left this morning on his own. The neighbor tried to strike up a conversation with him but he seemed distracted and in a hurry. He got into his car and took off."

Matt walks over hearing the speakerphone and starts to listen in, Deeks takes a step back so Matt can here. Matt nods his head in thanks.

Just then Eric cuts into the line. "Guys I just ran Crumble's phone records. There are a lot of phone calls to some burn phones, one number more than the rest. All the phones were bought at a store suspected to be a front for Liao Liao."

Deeks rubs his hair back and Matt lets out a breath.

"Well theres our connection. Liao Liao needed access to the equipment room and somehow got to Crumble," Kensi adds.

"It looks like Crumble had a gambling problem but he kept it quiet. His credit cards are maxed out and a lot of activity in Reno. His bank accounts show a lot of money going in and out. Guess Liao Liao was loaning him money for his habit," Nell turns in his chair to look at Callen.

"I found Crumble!" Eric yells loudly. "I tracked his cell and he is in the same location with two of the burn phone numbers."

Matt is the first to react to the info, "Where is he Eric?"

"The address is in a residential development 15 miles from your location. It looks like a foreclosed property. Traffic cams show Crumble's car driving near the location. I'll send the address to your phones."

"Thanks Eric!."

They all take off for Matt's car.


A few minutes later Matt's Taurus arrives in the neighborhood where the house is. He parks just down the street from the address to avoid them being seen. The three of them get out of the car and start walking towards the house. All three sets of eyes are scanning in every direction looking for trouble. When they get to the driveway they find Crumble's car and another vehicle parked down the street in front of the house. They assess the front of the house looking for windows and doors. There is the front door and also a side door off of the garage on the right side.

Just then a single gunshot rings out which makes all three Agents flinch. They draw their weapons from their holsters hidden in their pants.

Matt nods his head in the direction of the side door of the garage and starts heading that way. Kensi and Deeks head to the front door.

Matt makes it to the side door and sees that it is ajar slightly. He waits for Kensi and Deeks to get to the front door, he looks over to the two awaiting for their signal.

Deeks gets to the front door first and tries the handle. Its unlocked, he looks at Kensi and nods his head letting her know its unlocked and he is ready. Kensi looks over at Matt who has his hand on the side door, he nods.

Kensi puts her hand out with three fingers, she counts down bending fingers back until her last finger folds into her fist. At that moment both Deek's and Matt push open the doors.

Kensi is the first one thru the front door and goes to the left and starts clearing the living room, Deeks is right behind her with his gun up scanning and clearing the right and center of the room. They don't worry about Matt he's busy clearing the mudroom off the garage that looks up into the kitchen.

Kensi and Deeks see movement in the kitchen and rush towards it. They see Crumble lying on the floor bleeding out with two Asian looking men standing over him.

Kensi screams out "FEDERAL AGENT, drop your weapon."

Deek's adds "DROP IT."

Off to the side Matt can see that Deeks and Kensi had entered the kitchen. He knows not to head that way cause the rest of the house wasn't cleared yet. He had just finished checking a side room and was about to head towards the kitchen but not before checking a small hallway to leads to the back of the house. He opens the door to a bedroom and goes in to clear it.

One of the Asian men tries to raise his weapon at Kensi but Kensi drops him with two quick rounds to his chest.

Just as Kensi's rounds hit the man another figure comes running down the hallway from the back of the house, past Matt in the bedroom, with a gun up in the ready position. He turns the corner and practically comes up behind Deeks. Deeks can feel a presence behind him and starts to turn to face the threat swinging his gun up in the process.

Just as it looks like the third man has the drop on Deek's two shots ring out, the man grunts, and drops to the floor. Behind him is Matt with holding his Walther.

During the confusion the remaining Asian man makes a break for the back door and heads out into the backyard. Matt takes off after him jumping over one of the dead men and yells out with authority "THE BACK'S CLEAR" letting them know there were no more threats in the house.

Deeks bends down to check on Crumble. Kensi kicks away the weapon from the man she shot and heads out into the backyard behind Matt.

The man they are chasing jumps up and over a privacy fence with Matt about 20 steps behind him. Matt stops and tries to get a bead on the man as he clears the fence but the man is too quick. Matt continues the pursuit and jumps over the fence. By the time he gets over the fence and gets his bearings he hears a car start and barrel off down the road. He chases after the noise but by the time he gets to the street its already around the corner.

Just then Kensi runs up beside Matt and stops. She gets out her phone.

"Eric, black four door sedan … didn't see make and model….."

Matt speaks up "2012-2013 Chevy Impala, no plates, SS model. Saw it when we pulled up" He takes in a deep breath, he's mad at himself, Kensi can see it in his face.

"...2012 or '13 Chevy Impala SS, no plates, just left the scene with one Asian male driving. Also gonna need an ambulance and local LEO's. Crumble is down. Tell Callen and Sam"

"On it."
