A/N: sorry for the delay in releasing this and the last chapter but for some reason i was locked out of my account for a few days and couldn't update and right now trying to find a back up copy for one of the stories i have been working on that went missing but should be back to updating every day or two

A/N: decided to throw in some more drama and action for a chapter


Brian and Chase are at Daycare Center run by a few people that of course Hetty knew and Brian is in his classroom and looks around noticing someone walking around the hallway that seemed to have a gun on him and a bigger one then he had ever seen and before could say anything two gunman walk into the room and point their guns at the teacher, "Get the kids and follow us," the taller one ordered her and pointed the gun around the room of preschoolers.

Mrs. Connor's gulps before addressing the class, "Were all going for a walk so come along."

The group head into the hall and he leads them to the big auditorium in the place since once was a Community Center and he could see tons of other classes there and look to see Chase crying off to the side of kids and he sneaks over there and sits next to him, "Bwi tawed."

He sighs and wraps his arms around his friend hoping someone would come soon perferbably their parents, "Our mom and dad's will be here."

"Pwomise?" He asked with tears in his eyes.

"How you know?" Another kid who was about 5 asked walking over.

Jason walks over and sits doen next to his friends, "I hope they come soon."

~~NCIS:LA~~

Eric and Nell are watching something on the big screen when a news report flashes across the screen

**GUNMEN HAVE TAKEN HOSTAGES INSIDE A LOCAL DAYCARE CENTER! WHERE LAPD SOURCES INDICATE THEY HAVE EVERYONE SOMEWHERE INSIDE STILL!**

Eric starts clicking away as Nell rushes to the balcony and whistles grabbing the attention of the team, "We have an emergency," she said and headed back inside.

Callen and Sam are the first ones up there, "What we got?" Sam asked.

Eric answers, "LAPD are getitng reports of at least 6 gunman have taken a Daycare Center and held up in the auditorium not sure what they want so far-"

Kensi gasps as see the name of the place, "Its their-" she can't finish before sitting down in a chair.

Hetty walks inside the OPs Center, "LAPD has agreed to let us in considering the stake of 3 of the children inside and they have no negosiator available right now. Mr Getz will be accompanying you there and in the mean time work out a plan to get them out."

Deeks sets a hand on his wife's shoulder and looks around at rest of the team, "Why take a Daycare Center? Has to be something else. Get there and see what can do."

~~NCIS:LA~~

Sam and Deeks pull up to the Daycare Center at the same time as Renko and all look around and see only LAPD officers there and a man in uniform walks over and holds up the police tape for them to walk under and lead them to the command area, "Deeks its been a while."

Deeks shakes his hand, "Dylan it has. Agents Hanna, Renko and Callen meet Sgt. Dylan Rayner."

They all take his offered hand, "One of his last friends in LAPD. So far we have confirmed they are held in the auditorium. Seems like was once a small community center years ago. Most of the parents are here and wanting answers as to why take this place hostage."

"Any eyes inside the place?" Kensi asked him.

He nods and turns to the laptops sitting on a table, "We have found a few places to get them inside thru the roof and see maybe 50 kids and 12 adults inside with 6 gunman. No one has been shot so far and no contact has been made or even tried yet. Waiting for you to get here."

On cue a phone rings inside the small area that's connected to the people inside and Dylan answers, "Hello?"

"I want to speak to who ever is in charge out there and I know its not some damn LAPD cop," the man demanded.

Sam takes the phone considering out of rest of the team there he wasn't one with a kid inside, "Yeah, what is it you need?"

"Now were talking business. What FBI bring in someone?" He asked sarcastically. "Nah, that was to fast for them to get here must be NCIS. Mrs Lange must have been called in since we knows the idiot that runs this place and have no doubt a few of her agents kids in here. Where is she?"

"What is it that you need in there to get them out of there?" he asked trying to keep his anger from his voice.

There's silence on the other end of the line and a minute later someone comes one, "Tell him kid."

A shakey voice that's all to familiar to the ex-Seal comes on, "They w-ant a heli-cop-er and un-ma-rt car."

Sam runs a hand over is face at hearing the scarted voice on his partners son, "Okay we can work at that bud."

Chase let's out a breath of relief at hearing his uncle on the other line and continues as the man whispers in his ear, "No cops cum in or shoot. Wif 1tillion dollure."

Sam looks over to where he was sure rest of them were listening, "That's going to take some time to get that kind of money."

The man starts to laugh and then there's a few screams from the phone, "Your friend there is going to be the one who pays for your mistake, Agent. See I know there are a few kids in here that are agents with NCIS and I only want Hetty to pay and already know that he was one of them by the look on his face when you were talking to him. I want to speak to Hetty in the next 10 minutes and I promise you I will show some kindness and release some of these people in here of they will die."

The man hangs up as they turn to see Dylan pull up the feed from one of the cameras, "He's moving but the guy took him back to where a few of the gunman are standing around talking."

Kensi grabs the laptop and watches them, "Good thing she can read lips then," Deeks said to no one in particular.

She shakes her head and watches the gunman, "The one that was on the phone is the ringleader it seems. We have run into them somewhere or at least Hetty has. If he knows about NCIS it must have something t do with her past or something Sam wasn't involved in or he would have recognized his voice."

Callen runs a hand through his short hair as watch the replay of have they hung up and the man tossed his son across a short distance to another man and he collided against a wall and he taps down his anger knowing it wasn't getting them anywhere as he pulled out his phone and dialed OPs.

Eric is the one to answer, "Yeah, Callen?"

"Eric, LAPD has a bunch of laptops set up and need you to access them and see what can pull from them and get the names of gunman. Hetty around?" He asked knowing she was around.

Hetty makes herself known, "Yes, what have you learned Mr Callen?"

"The leader wants to speak to you personally on the phone and he knows some agents have kids inside and threatens to kill people if he doesn't talk to you in next 10 minutes."

She let's out the breath she didn't know she was holding as Eric and Nell pull up the footage and she curses in a few different languages, "I am sorry but it seems this is more pertained around me then anyone else and regret that it had to come to putting the children at great risk."

"Hetty who are they? What's really going on with them?" Eric asked the woman voicing the question that was on everyones mind all wondering what the connection was that the men would take a place full of small children hostage just to get the chance to talk to Hetty and face her wrath.


A/N: who are the gunman and what are their real intentions when it comes to a certain small ninja and her mysterious past? can they help her and get the kids out of there alive?

A/N: any suggestions as to what could happen in the next chapter or two and what could be the connection between them could be useful in fixing my writers block for a wya to end this part
