Chapter 10
That scream - his scream – echoed through her mind as the team raced to pry the door open.
Lucifer stood over Deeks, watching his struggles with the toxin pulsing through his veins. His wrists were tugging so desperately on the bonds pinning him to the chair that they began to bleed, similarly to his ankles. As for his head, it was swinging profusely as he continued to cry out in agony. His eyes were squeezed shut tight, trying to block everything out.
"Cut him loose." Lucifer spoke quietly before his men shifted to remove anything keeping Deeks seated. Once that was done, Lucifer pulled Deeks to his feet and held him between himself and the entrance.
Kensi was the first to enter the room, her gun aimed high with Sam and Callen directly behind her. They steadily moved to her side. The first string of bullets were quick and even, taking out the three men surrounding the pair in the centre of the room.
She would have scanned the room like Sam and Callen, but Kensi's eyes were fixed on the gun held to her partner's temple as he squirmed. She couldn't tell if he was squirming away from the weapon or from everyone… the poison. He's been injected with it again, and more of it she guessed. The female NCIS agent quickly made eye contact with Sam and Callen and it seems like they were thinking the same.
'Let him go." Kensi's words were firm and monotone, her face displaying a mix of concentration, rage and worry.
Lucifer began to let out an evil laugh, "Now why would I do that? He's the only reason why you're over there," he nodded to them, "and I'm alive." A sick smile was spread across his maskless features.
Callen edged slightly closer, "Stop right there," Lucifer began, "or I'll put a bullet in Marty's head."
Another painful scream echoed off the walls as Deeks tossed his head to the side loosening Lucifer grip on him.
A gunshot rang out…
