Six months later…
I was indeed pregnant now, and I could not, to my dismay, go to the field. So I was forced to stay at HQ. I helped at best I can Eric and Nell in research and completed the team reports. Which allowed them to spend more time on the ground. Life is so unfair! I'm stuck here! I know every nook and cranny of the HQ now so I explored the length and breadth! I want that that ends, I cannot it anymore! And then everyone behaves as if I was sick!
It was the end of the day, the team was about to leave. G. went to see if I was ready...
"Are you coming?"
"I have not finished yet. Go, I'll manage to get back"
"Are you sure?"
I nodded my head and G. left not without kissing me tenderly. Nevertheless a positive side to this pregnancy! I love his tenderness. Not that he was brutal before but I don't know, he is soft differently!
The following morning, G. arrived at headquarters, completely panicked. He searched every room but didn't seem to find what he looked for.
"You looking for something, Mr. Callen?" Hetty asked
"Someone. Alicia, actually. She didn't come home that night"
"The last time I saw her was last night and she was upstairs finishing up reports"
"I just go there, she's not there" worried G.
"She is perhaps to the bathroom" suggested Hetty
Unconvinced, Callen went to see Eric.
"Eric, can you view cameras of the HQ, please?"
"Uh, is it for a case? Otherwise you know I don't have the right"
"Do whatever he asks you, Mr. Beale. You have permission" intervened Hetty who began to worry too.
"Then, see that. What do we search? "
"Alicia" explained Callen
Eric obeyed, aback by the special request of his colleague. He soon realized why. Fears of Callen and Hetty were confirmed: Alicia was kidnapped in the enclosure of the OSP. A normally inviolable place. All the security would have to be reviewed.
"Can we better see the faces of the aggressors?" asked Callen
"No, but I think you should be able to recognize one anyway" Eric explained by zooming in on one of the men.
"Marcel Janvier..." Callen muttered when he saw the stump of his hand "You have to call the rest of the team!"
"We're here! What's going on?" Sam asked when entering the room followed closely by Kensi and Deeks
Eric made a quick summary of the situation. Callen was in shock and couldn't speak.
"Well, where do we start?" Deeks asked
"When he got out of prison?" Sam asked
"Apparently, he escaped one week ago" said Eric
"Why have we not been informed?" Callen flew into a rage, furious.
"No idea" replied Eric, sheepishly at the reaction of G.
"Did it have any movement on one of his bank accounts?" asked Kensi
"They are normally all frozen" Eric assured
"Uh, guys ... You should see this ..." Nell intervened "We just receive it"
