Disclaimer: I only own Rachel and her CIA friends, sadly I do not own anyone from NCIS: Los Angeles. (Although I wouldn't mind owning Callen)
Getting the Team Back Together:
After taking the painkillers I went to sleep wrapped in Callen's arms. It felt like old times, but then again, I don't think it could ever be like old times, especially now, with the CIA trying to kill me, and my team.
The next morning I woke to find Callen gone again. Rolling over I found the curtains pushed back away from the windows and Callen on the balcony. Remembering that we were supposed to be engaged, I crawled out of bed, walked out, and wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked. I nodded my head which was buried in his back. He turned around and kissed me tilting my head up again. I understood immediately. Wrapping my arms around his neck I pulled him back into the hotel room, my lips parting, letting the kiss deepen.
He closed the curtains and I pulled away. "Do you want revenge like the others do?" he suddenly asked. I stopped for a moment, caught off guard.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"I think you're angry. After all the time you spent with the agency, every threat on your life, every life lost, and life you took, the way they repay you is with the agency trying to kill you. You're angry, understandable, but don't ruin your life by getting revenge" he said coming up to me.
"So now you're a psychologist Callen? You think you know everything about me? I left six years ago, and even when we were together you hardly knew anything about me. I didn't tell you everything about me" I said.
"I know enough about what the agency can do to you. Have you ever thought once about leaving, starting a new life? You can do that Rachel, you're smart, amazing, good with people, you can do anything you want Rachel, and yet you choose to be a spy, someone who lies, stabs people in the back, whatever you want to call it. Why not do something else with your life besides staying with the agency?" he asked coming up.
"You don't understand, the agency's my life. It's all I've ever known since I was eighteen Callen. They helped me when no one else could. After my parents were killed I was a mess, the agency picked me up, set me on my feet, made me feel like I was needed. The guys became my family, they were all I had. I've a few good men, and I'm not about to let them do it alone. Richard Stevens ruined our lives, and the only way we can get our lives back is to get rid of Richard Stevens" I said before walking away.
Callen's phone rang. He listened to it for a few moments and then said "Thanks Eric" before hanging up. He turned to look at me and said "Michael Chandler's shipment that he ordered is here, it's time to make a call and let him know, tell him we want our money".
I nodded and grabbed the phone dialing Michael Chandler's number.
"Ah, Miss Bennett, I was just informed by my men that my shipment was here. You're money has been wired to that account and should be there soon" said the voice.
"That's why I was calling you Michael; I hope you will be quite satisfied with your shipment Mr. Chandler" I said sitting on the bed, Callen beside me.
"I am pretty sure that I will be. It was a pleasure doing business with you; I hope we shall be doing more business together soon. Goodbye Miss Bennett" he said before hanging up. I turned to look at Callen and he nodded.
"Callen, Kensi and Deeks have picked up the Navy accomplices; they were the people at the location where the shipment was supposed to be sent. We need you, Rachel, and Sam to go find Michael Chandler and his men. They may have heard about the raid on the warehouse, we need to stop them before they get out of the country" Eric said.
We quickly got dressed and opened the door to find Sam standing there. We headed out, Sam handing us each a gun.
We left the hotel and quickly got into Sam's Challenger. He started speeding down the road towards a private airport. "Eric said that there was a jet being fueled up at the downtown private airport, it was going to Australia, he said it was most likely them" Sam replied, answering the question that hadn't been voiced.
Ten minutes later we pulled up to it and found Kensi and Deeks waiting for us. They looked at us and then at each other, a worried look on their faces.
"What is it?" Callen asked.
"There's only two other vests" Kensi said. Callen looked at me, and then at Sam.
Turning to me he said "Rachel, sit in the car, you don't need to be out there in the first place. Sam, you and I will take the right side, Kensi, you and Deeks take the left, understood?"
They nodded and headed off while Callen pushed me in the car and said "It's for your safety". Then he handcuffed me to the head rest and locked the door.
I looked at him like he was insane and watched him and Sam head off on the right side of the airport. I remembered that I had a hair clip in my hair. I tried to maneuver my head so I could reach it with my hands. It took a few attempts before I finally reached it. Placing it in my mouth I used my trying to quickly under the locks.
Reaching for my gun, I realized Callen had taken it. I went over to the glove compartment and found that it was locked. Using the hair clip I unlocked it and found a gun lying inside. I unlocked the door, loaded the gun and quickly headed towards the airport.
I heard the sound of gunshots and took off running as fast as my hurt leg would allow.
Hiding behind a corner I saw Michael Chandler holding Callen with a gun to his head. Sam, Kensi, and Deeks each had a gun trained on him, but none took the shot, scared to hit Callen.
"I should have known that you were a cop, what did you do to Annabelle, put her in jail? I can't believe she trusted you, such a lovely woman loving you. That is very strange, but I guess the heart wants what the heart wants" Chandler said holding the gun to his head.
I moved and saw that all of Chandler's men were down, it only left Chandler.
"Say goodbye William Carson, or whatever you're real name is" he said moving away from Callen slightly to take the shot. I raised my gun and pulled the trigger, the shot ringing out in the air.
I saw Chandler go down and so did Callen. Kensi, Sam, and Deeks raised their guns to aim at me, until they saw me. I dropped to the gun to the ground with a clang and moved towards Callen.
They did the same, putting their guns away. "G, are you hurt?" Sam called rushing to his partner's side. Callen shook his head and shakily got up. "No, you guys alright? Who killed Chandler?" he asked.
"We're fine G; you need to thank your girl for saving your life. If she hadn't of gotten lose from your cuffs you'd be the one dead right now" Sam said with a grin helping his partner up.
Callen looked up and saw me standing a few feet away from him and his team. He held gazes with me and then rushed forward to bring me in his arms.
There was a squeal from tires and we all raised are guns, Callen pushing me behind him. A black SUV pulled up and I lowered my gun, a smile coming on my face.
"Looks like she still has the skill boys" said Brandon slamming the door and coming up to me.
Two other men got out, grinning. "Yeah, Brandon, because she could really lose her skills with a gun" said one rolling his hazel eyes.
"Last I heard you boys were in a bit of trouble, still are if I'm right, what are you doing here?" I asked with a grin as I pushed past Callen and walked up to them.
"Isn't it obvious Rach? We're getting them team back together" said the other with a big grin.
Next chapter you'll get to see more of Robert and Samuel. I thought Rachel should be Callen's hero in this chapter. Anyway, leave comments please, let me know what you think.
