Chapter 14
After a long and hard interrogation, Callen and Sam finally knew what they wanted to know, from the man that the CIA had apprehened. A few minutes before they had left the interrogation room, Callen had gone ballistic as the guy kept trying to play with them and as Callen kept choking the man, two CIA Agents stormed into to the room and had to drag him away with full force from their prisoner. After all had finally calmed down again, Callen still looking with a menacing look at the man in front of him, the prisoner finally gave in and said: "Ok fine! I tell you all I know. The man who you are searching for are ex-army, hired mercenaries who work for an organization that stays in the dark most of the time. This organization is interested in the highly sensitive data of the navy because with this they can take over the whole nuclear arsenal of a navy fleet and starts the next world war."
Now Callen called Hetty informing her of the newest developments in this case, the Operations Manager said that she would call the right people so all the navy ships that were at sea right now could prepare themselves for the upcoming cyber-attack.
Meanwhile back at the dark prison of the two NCIS techs, Nell was forced up to her feet from one masked man as the other one kept pointing a gun at her at all times to make sure that she didn't try anything stupid. "Enough with the games Missy, the time for talk is over; my friend is going to kill your colleague if you don't do exactly what I say!" Being able to move her hands again freely Nell realized how much they hurt after all the hours that they were tightly bound on her back with that really uncomfortable cuffs. Silently she then followed the one man out of the room, turned one last time around before leaving now looking into the scared face of Eric and asked herself: *Will I really survive all this?* Finally she drew away her look from him and after the masked man had closed the door behind her she realized if there was a time to get out of here, then it was definitely now even if there still was the great risk of an failed escape attempt. Deeks and Kensi finally arrived at the last known position of the second car of the kidnappers that Darren had found on the kaleidoscope search what was an apparently a big industrial area. Kensi pulled out the cell phone out of the pocket of her jeans as she and Deeks walked into a street apart the main one and called Darren at OPS: "Darren please check all factory halls at the address you have given us, I want to know if these place are still owned by anyone."
"Ok searching for that now." The young analyst said on the other end of the line and now both them anxiously waited for the search results. Finally the results for the Inquiry popped up on his screen: "Most of them are still owned by some producing firms right out of LA, there's only one that is without ownership and that is going to be taken down in one week."
"Ok that narrows the search down to that one, send the address to my Phone." Kensi replied and shortly after that the address of the factory hall had arrived on her phone. Eric had really forgotten about all the pain he felt in almost every part of his body, he was just worried about the well-being of the woman he loved so much. He really wished that he had gotten the strength to make them take him to do their bidding not Nell, he should have been the one to put his life in danger and he probably couldn't forgive himself if something would happen to her.
Nell started to work on pretending to decrypt the data for the kidnappers, meanwhile she was working on a plan to get out of here but that really was going to be a lot more difficult than she had thought. Two guards were watching her all the time, while she was busy with secretly planting a virus into their system what would make the whole data that the kidnappers had stolen totally useless. She really didn't know if she could really pull it off what she set out to do, because her body still wasn't a hundred percent but on the other side she wasn't sure if she could afford to wait anymore, because as soon as the men would find out that she was screwing with them she and Eric wouldn't life very much longer. Nell then claimed that she encountered a problem during the decryption process that she could only solve with Eric's help, of course the two man where a little bit suspicious about that inquiry obviously thinking that it was a trick. Finally they believed her, what put her doubts at ease for now but she still had some doubts that the next phase of her plan would really succeed or if the escape attempt would end before it really began.
Kensi and Deeks finally reached the factory hall in question, they called Callen and Sam as backup and notified them that they had probably found the hiding place of the men that had taken Nell and Eric hostage. While waiting for Sam and Callen to arrive, they patrolled around the building some more and finally found the car that belonged to the kidnappers and were now really certain that they were at the right place.
Together the two techies finished to plant the virus into the data that would corrupt it as soon as someone tried to open the whole segment. The two got brought back to their cell, before she was forced back up Nell was able to quickly put a paperclip in the pocket of her jeans and then the two were finally tied up again to the chairs. As the men had closed the door behind them, Nell pulled out the paper clip back out of her pocket, she put the already unfolded clip into the hole were the keys belonged in and was finally able to open the cuffs. Eric weakly smiled at her, as he saw that her little plan was working so far, quickly she freed her partner out of his cuffs and really was glad that this whole thing had worked out well. Now it was time for the next phase of her plan: Eric lay on the cold floor of the cell, Nell frantically hammering on the metal door and screamed: "Somebody help me!" One of the guards finally entered the room, Nell said that Eric needs some help because he has some serious heart problems, cautiously the guard kneed over the unconscious body of the NCIS techie, because he was so occupied with doing that Nell quickly took his gun out of the holster and said: "Sweet dreams" and hit him on his head with the weapon. Before the other guard could react, Nell slammed the door at him with full force, making the guard collapse to floor immediately. She then quickly helped Eric walking; they had to hide behind a corner as some more guards stormed into the hall and started shooting at them, with two precise shots she could take out the first of four guards but quickly had to take cover as the other three all fired at her position.
