The Rescue:

Callen:

We decided to move at night, when they wouldn't be on their guard as much. When we would be comfortable, having the situation in control.

I watched as a helictopter glided silently above the compound, doors opened and ropes dropped, Navy Seals quickly made their way down the ropes and headed towards the generators to knock off the electricity that powered the fence. The helicopter pulled up and glided away, waiting for our call to come back and retrieve us.

I stood on the other side of the fence, waiting for the all-clear. I could see Deeks nervously pacing beside me. It was clear he was worried about Kensi, and anyone who wasn't blind could see that he loved his partner. Adam stood still, head cocked to the side like he was listening for something. Moments later he stepped forward. "The electricity had been cut" he said.

Seconds later a Navy Seal said "All clear". Sam, Deeks, Adam, two Navy Seals, three Marines, and I moved forward.

Adam cut out a part of the fence and then pushed it through silently. "Go" he whispered to us, and we went in, him following close behind. Moments later we headed towards the roof of the compound, Marine snipers already killing off the guards up there.

Our best point of entry was from the roof. Then we would make our way down floor by floor until we found Kensi and Alexandria.

After we got to the roof, we made our way towards the door that led into the compoud. Sam kicked it open and we all moved in, guns at the ready. As we walked catiously there was the sound of a single shot and we saw a man go down from the corner of a wall. We all looked back at Adam, who had just pulled his gun away. I nodded my head in thanks. He nodded in return.

Deeks pulled out the tracker and looked at it. "I have her in a room three floors down" he answered. I nodded. "Let's move" I answered. That's when I heard gunfire from outside, knowing that the other teams of Navy Seals and Marines were taking on the guards that were outside.

"We need to move quickly" Adam said, and then we ran down the stairs, guns ready.

There was a brief firefight on the floor below, but it didn't last long. We headed down the hall, down another flight of stairs, and just as I was about to walk around the corner I was pulled back by Adam. He quickly took my place and fired off a few shots. I peeked around the corner and saw two men slumped against a wall.

"You need to be more careful" he advised. This time, he stayed in the lead as we crept forward, adrenaline pumping through us.

There were gunshots and we flattened ourselves against the wall. I looked at Sam. "One...two..." and then we both stepped out and fired off shots, two more men slumping to the ground. Then, we moved forward.

"We must be getting closer" Deeks said noting the amount of guards that were on this floor, instead of the others.

"One more floor" Adam agreed as we headed down the stairs towards the floor that Alexandria and Kensi were supposedly on.

The firefight here was longer than the others, but it was soon done. Footsteps came towards us and there was shouting in at least two different languages. I turned to Deeks.

He stopped in front of a door and said "This one."

Nodding to Sam, I watched as he kicked the door in and then we headed into the room, guns raised catiously. I let out a sigh of relief when we got in there.

There was Alexandria, pointing a gun at me, standing protectively in front of Kensi. I reached up with my gloved hand and pulled off the helmet that I was wearing, my eyes never leaving hers. At least they were both alive, even though they both looked terrible.

"You've kept me waiting William, darling" she answered lowering her gun.

"Sorry, I forgot how impatient you were" I answered trying not to smile.

Before I had time to warn Deeks I watched him rush towards Kensi. Alexandria immediately had her gun trained on him. I watched as she then lowered it and said "Deeks, you really should think about saying something, that way you don't get killed". Then she stepped out of Deeks way as he rushed over to Kensi.

I was shocked when I saw that Kensi had kissed Deeks. From beside me, Sam muttered, "About time" and I couldn't help but grin and agree with him.

Adam stepped forward, pulling off his helmet and growled "Alexandria, the next time you rush off to get kidnapped don't even think that I'm comming to save your ass", before, much to our surpise, he pulled her into a hug. One that Alexandria returned.

"I see you've met my baby brother" Alexandria said as footsteps, shouts, and gunfire came towards us.

Suddenly a figure poked his head through the door and said "Agent Callen, we need to get moving."

I nodded my head and turned to my team to get them ready for us to head out. Sam turned to Kensi and Deeks and said "Okay lovebirds, you can finish this later, let's get out of here."

Adam handed Alexandria a gun, which she gladly took. Deeks gently picked up Kensi and got in the middle, so that we would be able to protect her.

Alexandria came up beside me and said "Just like Amesterdam" before we stepped out and started firing with the others at the men that were advancing towards us.

My mind was to focused on the men that were coming towards us, to worry about the woman who was at my side at the moment. I wanted to get us all out of here, alive.

Adam quickly took the lead, and without hesitation I followed him. If Alexandria trusted him, then so did I. We headed back up the way we came, this time not running into as many armed men then we had come down. Whoever we did run into though, that wasn't our own, we quickly took out, ready to leave this compound.

When we got onto the roof we found two helicopters waiting for us. We quickly got into them, splitting up with the rest of the Navy Seals, Marines, and other NCIS agents. I looked around the helicopter that I was in, looking for Alexandria, but didn't find her. She must have gotten in the other one with Adam.

I glanced at Sam, Kensi, and Deeks. We would now be heading back to the States, once we made sure that Kensi and Alexandria were well enought to take the whole ride on a helicopter.

As the helicopters rose, I looked down at the compound and watched it explode into flames. At least that was one thing we didn't have to explain to Hetty or anyone else.

. . .

Kensi said that we was able to fly all the way back to Los Angeles so we kept going. I knew better than to even think about getting the mike from the pilot to ask Alexandria, she wouldn't admit to any weakness.

I didn't know how many hours passed, but we landed at the airstrip at Camp Pendleton, only to find Hetty, Nate, and Eric waiting for us along with paramedics for Kensi and Alexandria.

As we exited, I looked through the sea of Marines, Navy Seals, and NCIS agents looking for her. I didn't find her.

I found Adam talking quietly with Hetty and headed over to them, knowing that he would know where his sister was. I knew that she wouldn't have already left, not with Adam still here.

Sam, Kensi, and Deeks followed, wanting to know where she was as well. Kensi wanted to thank her for saving her life.

"Thank you Mr. Barclay" Hetty said as we walked over to them. Adam turned around to face us, but for some reason, the young Arch Angel couldn't look us in the eye.

"Adam where's Alexandria?" I asked.

He looked from me, to the others, to Hetty. Hetty nodded and then turned to look at us, sadness deep in her eyes.

"Mr. Callen, Mr. Hanna, Miss Blye, Mr. Deeks, Miss Brookes never left the compoud. She stayed and held back the men that were coming from the opposite direction" Hetty said gently.

I heard Kensi gasp, and saw her buty her face in Deeks chest, Sam looked shocked, and I, I felt my knees grow weak. No, it couldn't be. Alexandria wouldn't do that. She wouldn't do that.

Then her words popped into my head. Just like Amsterdam.

She would.

To protect me.

"Mr. Barclay, maybe it's time you tell us what has really been going on? We'll continue this conversation back at headquarters" Hetty asked looking at Adam.

"Only because she trust you Hetty" Adam answered as the two headed towards the cars waiting for us. I looked at me team wondering what was really going on with Alexandria and Adam.

Then, we all followed Hetty and now, the last of the Arch Angels.

I wanted to get this chapter out as well. So, I did. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Let me know.
