Last chapter!

They drove to Deeks' house. Nell was already there bugging the phone so that they could record any phone calls and, probably, track him down. Eric was in Ops working on every camera that was in the area, with the help of the rest NCIS personnel, since Nell wasn't there. They need all hands on deck. Amber Alert bolo was already on TV, radio and Internet. The entire LAPD force was informed and was willing to help in any way.

Back at Deeks' house, there was chaos. Kensi and Deeks were sitting on the couch and she had buried her head in his arms, crying and asking for her daughter. Deeks was trying to calm her down, but it was pointless. And he knew it. He was feeling the same way she was. He wanted his baby girl back. Callen knelt in front of Kensi and grabbed her hands. Kensi raised her head to look at him. "Remember what I told you at the hospital? I'll bring her back. I promise you that. Okay?" She simply nodded her head and buried it again in her husband's chest.

Callen walked to the kitchen where Sam and Nell were. She was on the phone with Eric. When she hung up, she looked at them scared. "Does Eric have something?" Sam asked.

"Nothing. Nothing at all. Hetty has all the personnel work but nothing so far. They are trying to find Clark's car. Eric has started a kaleidoscope search, LAPD has released a bolo. His face is everywhere; airports, train stations, ports. Everywhere. He hasn't showed up yet." For a moment, they were staring at each other. "Why? Why Natalie? I mean…she is his niece. Why would he kidnap her?"

"He's angry. He lost his wife and unborn kid. Kensi is alive with her kid." Callen said. It was the only explanation he could give at this point.

"I shouldn't have talked to him. I shouldn't." Sam was blaming himself.

"It's not your fault. Sooner or later, he would have found the truth on his own." Callen told his partner. "The question is what we are doing now."

"You don't think that…he will…he will kill her?" Nell asked scared.

"Nothing is sure at this time." Callen said.

"I met the guy. He didn't give me the impression he would kill."

"Did he give you the impression he would kidnap?" Sam looked at him with an angry look. "All I'm saying is nothing is sure right now. This guy wants justice, revenge."

"My daughter didn't kill his wife or kid." That was when Deeks entered the room. "In fact, his wife was the reason I almost lost Kensi.

"Where is she?" Callen asked.

"I gave her something to sedate her. She's at the bedroom. Hopefully, she'll try to sleep for a while."

Suddenly, a thought crossed Sam's mind. "Does he know where his wife is buried?"

"Yeah, he asked us when he visited us at the hospital." Deeks answered. " Why?"

"It's a good place to start. Nell, keep us informed." Callen said and he left with Sam in a hurry.


When they arrived at the cemetery, Callen got out of the car and walked towards the guard to ask him if he had seen Peter the last three days. But he hadn't showed up. Callen called Hetty to inform her and she said it was better they stay there and wait. Clark loved his wife so much. And since he hadn't come to see her, he might do it now.

Back at Deeks' place, Kensi was at Natalie's room, looking at her empty little bed with tears in her eyes. During the four days she was at the hospital, Deeks had organized everything. He slightly opened the door and saw her. He walked to her and hugged her from behind. "We'll find her. Okay?"

"If…anything happens to her,…I'm done." she said crying. Deeks turned her and hugged her tight. Her tears were wetting his t-shirt. He was trying not to cry. He had to stay strong. He couldn't break. He had to support his wife.

That was when Nell knocked the door and walked in. "I'm sorry for interrupting."

"Did you find him?" Kensi asked with a little hope in her tone.

"No, no. Um, Callen and Sam are on a stake out, outside the cemetery. He hasn't showed up yet. I…thought you should know."

Nell could see the disappointment in Kensi's face. "Thanks Nell." Deeks said. She nodded her head and left the room.

Outside the cemetery, Callen and Sam were in the Challenger waiting for Peter Clark. No one was talking. Callen wasn't taking his eyes off the entrance. Sam was looking at his partner. "We'll get her back, G."

"We are wasting our time here. He's not going o show up in public."

"He's not that smart. Trust me."

"Still. We are sitting here doing absolutely nothing while Kensi and Deeks are home, desperate, waiting for us, for their daughter to return."

"She will, G. He knows he can't leave the city without anyone notice it."

"It's been eight hours since she went missing. What if he has already left the city by car?" Sam looked at him. He knew his partner had a point.

A few minutes later, a red sedan pulled over a couple meters away from the Challenger. And Peter Clark exited the vehicle, holding a bouquet of white roses. He walked to the entrance of the cemetery and walked in. Callen, immediately, called Ops. "Eric, is Hetty there?"

"Yes, she's here. You're on speaker."

"Hetty, he's here. What do we do?"

"Natalie?"

"He's alone."

Hetty looked at Granger who was there too. "Wait until he leaves and follow him." Granger said. "You'll find where he has her and then we breach."

"Copy that." and he hung up. Twenty minutes later, he was out. He got in his car and drove away. Sam followed him carefully to a house in Venice. "Eric, we got it."

"LAPD squad is on the way."

"Who lives here?" Sam asked.

"Um, wait a second." Eric said. He typed something and then continued. "It belongs to Natalie Davis. It was her father's."

"Of course. And we hadn't thought of it." Callen said.

"We didn't know. But we are here now."

"Eric, how far away the squad team is?" Callen asked.

"Three minutes."

After the squad team arrived, they gave Callen and Sam bulletproof vests and walked to the front door quietly. They split up. Some of them stayed at the front door and the others went to the back. "On my count" Callen said. "Three…two…one. Go!" The two teams moved in the house at the same time. Peter Clark was at the living room. A big bag was on the floor- he was ready to leave- and Natalie was in a baby's basket on the couch. Peter immediately grabbed the gun that was on the table and aimed at Natalie. Callen and Sam had their guns pointed at him. "One more move and I shoot her!"

"Peter…put the gun down and let's talk about this." Sam was trying to calm him down. "You don't want to do this."

"You make a move, I pull the trigger. Do you hear me?" Callen said angry. Natalie started crying. "I don't know why you took her and I don't care. I'm here to take her back to her parents. And I'm not leaving without her. Even if that means killing you."

"I lost my wife and kid. He has both of them!"

"It wasn't Deeks' fault. In fact, he should be angry that he almost lost his family." Sam said. "Natalie was the target. Kensi tried to protect her. And that's how you thank her? By kidnapping her daughter?"

"Put the gun down." Callen said. He finally did it. He tossed it to the ground. "On your knees." Sam cuffed him and Callen picked up Natalie. "It's okay sweetie. Shh…We are going home. Mummy and Daddy are waiting for you." Callen took a deep breath, relieved now that everything was over. "Hetty, I got her. She's okay."


Knowing what had happened, Kensi and Deeks were waiting for Callen and Sam to come. Kensi was walking up and down, nervously. "They have her. They are coming here. Why don't you try to calm down?" Nell told Kensi.

"I won't calm down until she's here." Deeks looked at Nell with the did-you-expect-something-else look. That was when the door opened and Callen walked in holding Natalie. "Oh my God!" Kensi ran to him and took her daughter in her arms. "Thank you Callen. Thank you!" she said with tears in her eyes. Deeks hugged his girls and kissed his wife on the top of the head.

Their nightmare was over. Everything was over.
