A/N: Next chapter is up! Please Review!
Sam pulled up to Callen's house and sighed. He didn't know what to except when they got in there but he had a feeling it was going to fuel Callen's fire. Coming up to the front steps they noticed the front door was open, probably from this morning, but they readied their guns just in case.
Entering they quickly they surveyed the rooms, moving around the house before Sam said from the kitchen, "Clear G."
"Clear." Callen replied from his and Maddie's bedroom putting his gun away and taking a look around. Nothing was out of place except the bedroom, which was a mess. He noticed the window was broken, the bed had its covers thrown off and clothes everywhere, and not at all how he left her and the bedroom this morning.
"She must have gone out the window." Sam said from the doorway leaning against it. "That means she must have heard them."
"It looks like she was in a rush to find her shoes and phone too. She probably thought it was me until she heard more foot steps." Callen said looking around.
"Is anything missing?" Sam asked him.
"Not that I can tell." Callen replied sighing. "We're gonna have to move."
"Why? You love this house." Sam answered.
"If it was just me I would stay, but after this I doubt Maddie will want to stay here."
Sam patted Callen's back and walked out of the room.
"Hey G. Come look at this." Sam called out.
"Yeah?" Callen said coming to the front door where Sam was.
"They dropped something." Sam said picking up a piece of paper. "Unless you got a storage unit somewhere I don't know about."
Callen smiled for what seemed like the first time since Maddie had called him that morning. "No, no I don't."
Back at OPS
"You think you can actually trace that video feed Eric?" Kensi asked.
"Yeah, it's going to take a while but I think we can."
"Good because Maddie doesn't look too good." Deeks said looking at the screen of her again.
"Hello?" Eric answered as his phone went off. "Yeah...ok...hold on...yep got it. It's registered to a Kyle Griffin. He has a few robbery charges and kidnapping charges as well. Oh lookie here one his so called boss's is Ethan Bishop...OK I'll send them."
"Kensi, Deeks. They found a storage unit just off the Santa Monica freeway. I'll send it to your phones." Eric told them.
"Good. Nell keep working on who this Ethan Bishop guy is!" Deeks said as they walked out.
Storage Unit
The two teams got there roughly the same time and got out of the cars to walk to the storage unit 65 together, while Kensi got the code to it and met them there.
Callen counted with his fingers to three before Kensi opened the door and they stormed in guns at the ready. They quickly realized no one was in there except a huge box in the corner and put their guns away. Deeks approached the box and opened it looking inside.
"Oh boy." Deeks stated looking at the rest of them.
Taking a closer look at the box they realized it wasn't empty but contained a lot of explosives, C4 and other items to make a dozen or so bombs.
"Apparently there is more to this then we think." Kensi told them.
Callen was frustrated. He didn't know what this was about but it was getting more complicated by the minute and all he wanted was to start this day over. Just then somewhere came into view of the storage unit, he had a black jacket and baseball cap on with sunglasses.
"What hell is this?" the man demanded. "Who are you?"
"Are you Kyle Griffin?" Callen asked stepping towards him.
The man immediately looked panicked and bolted the way he came running away from them. Callen and Sam instantly went after him, while Kensi and Deeks stayed behind with the explosives.
Sam got to Kyle first tackling him to the ground full force while Callen came up next to him training his gun on Kyle.
"Don't move." Callen demanded while Sam cuffed him.
"Nice to see you broke a sweat." Sam said getting up with Kyle.
"Hey I was right behind you, stop complaining." replied Callen rolling his eyes.
"Yeah yeah. Boathouse?"
"Yep."
Boathouse
At the boathouse Callen, Sam, Kensi, Deeks and Hetty, who had arrived shortly after them, sat there looking at the camera of Kyle who was in the interrogation room. The explosives were taken back to headquarters to be looked into while they got information out of Kyle.
Callen was pissed, very pissed. That man had gone into his house, and helped take his niece, he wanted answers and he didn't care how he got them. He had been pacing but he needed answers soon, he didn't know how much long Maddie was going to last, so took the folder off the table and started towards the room.
"Mr. Callen." said Hetty.
He turned towards her with a questioning look.
"Are you sure this is a wise decision?"
"Yes."
"Really?" Hetty said. "Are you going in there to get answers or revenge?"
"Answers." Callen told her before going in.
"Hetty?" Kensi asked concerned.
"For now he is fine, but Mr. Hanna if he gets too physical or you think you need to intervene, do so." Hetty replied to which Sam nodded as Callen sat down to talk.
Callen sat down calmly and pulled a few papers out of the folder laying them in front of Kyle; they were photos of the paper they found at his house, the explosives and pictures from the boardwalk where they had identified him.
"You wanna know where I found this?" Callen asked pointing at the paper. Kyle shrugged. "My house."
"So?"
"So?" Callen replied raising his eyebrow. "What was it doing in my house? Wait let me answer that for you. I don't take kindly to people breaking and entering to my house, let alone to take my niece from me. So let me lay it out for you. You answer my questions the first time I ask and you get to live."
Kyle looked at him before shrugging again causing Callen to get slightly more pissed off.
"Let's start off with an easy question, how did you find our house?" Kyle however remained silent. "Answer me." Callen hissed leaning forward.
"Don't I get a lawyer?"
"NO!" Callen shouted standing up slamming his hand on the table. "Answer me!"
"You know I'm am this close - " Callen said walking around and leaning in close to his ear to whisper this next part, "To shooting you on the spot. You took my niece from me. I will find your boss and kill him. If you don't help me, so help me I will kill you with my bare hands right now. Now answer me: Why take her?"
Kyle again seemed unfazed by Callen's threat and shrugged again.
"Damn it!" Callen shouted grabbing him by the collar and lifting him out of his seat pushing him against the wall. "Why her? Where is she!" Callen shouted in his face.
"I bet she's good in bed." Kyle said quietly with a smirk, causing Callen to growl dangerously. "They always said that runners are the best and she did have good form if you get my drift."
"You sick bastard!" Callen yelled pushing him against the wall harder.
He never got farther than that though because Sam opened the door to intervene. "G."
"What?" Callen snapped.
"Outside. Now." Sam told him sternly.
Callen threw Kyle towards the table while Sam picked up the folder and walked out of the room behind Callen shutting the door.
"Go cool off. Now." Sam ordered Callen as he stormed outside to the docks.
"Mr. Hanna?" Hetty asked. "I want you to finish it. Get answers however you need too but keep your anger in check."
Sam nodded, "Let me check on G first."
Sam walked out of the boathouse to find Callen on the end of the dock, his hands on his hips looking out towards the water. Approaching Callen, Sam stood next to him quietly not talking.
"What'd he say?" Sam asked curious as to what got a rise out of him.
Callen didn't speak right away, still to angry to talk to anyone even if it was Sam.
"He said he bet she was good in bed, because of her running form." Callen spat out. Sam clenched his fist shut tight trying to stay clam for Callen's sake but was having a hard time doing so.
"I'll get answers, but you can't go in there again." Sam told his partner. "Got it?"
Callen nodded and the two of them stood there a little long before heading in. Sam nodded to the team before heading in to talk to him and get some answers.
It took Sam, Deeks, and Kensi 3 hours to finally crack him. They took turns every half hour questioning him, using different techniques before he finally gave in. It was Sam's turn and when he walked in for the 3 time, Sam was not fooling around. He had had enough and knew that the clock was ticking for Maddie.
"I want answers. You have 5 minutes to give me something or I'm shipping you off to prison right now without any trial." Sam told him dangerously. Kyle sighed and started to talk.
"We followed them home last night from the bar you were all at. We waited until morning. We watched him leave and then we stormed the place. Thought it would be an easy job get in, grab the girl and get paid but she had to run. They always run for some reason. Once we had her on the boardwalk we loaded her in the car left." Kyle said.
"Then what? Where is she?" Sam asked.
"I have no idea. Ethan took her, and two others with him to the location but he wouldn't tell the rest of us where. We were just supposed to complete the next part of the assignment, then we were home free."
"Names. I need names of the two others with Ethan."
"Josh Holloway, and Rick Thompson."
"Eric..." Callen said from his chair in the boathouse from watching the screen.
"On it." Eric said.
"What was the other part of your assignment? What were the explosives for?"
"Ethan has some kind of beef with you all. He took her for leverage to hurt you all but most likely he'll end up killing her once he realizes the bombs were taken."
"Who were the targets of the bombs?" Sam asked.
"You and your team."
