A/N: sorry for the bad updating I was away for a few days visiting some family but might be a few days before update agian not sure where going from here

Callen looks over at the waiting room door to see Hetty walk inside and he shakes his head before taking the cup of coffee she had offered him as she was sipping a cup of tes. Finally he had broken the silence that had fallen between the both of them, "Did you know?"

She sighs before shook her head, "About his son? No I didn't but let him tell that story as for now you have an address from a piece of paper in the warehouse which you need to meet rest of your team there and see waht is really gooing on there. I will keep an eye on them and let you know."

The ride there is quiet and once he pulls up to a small brownstone where Sam's challenger and Kensi's SRX pull up seconds later, "Kensi and Deeks take the back."

Kensi leads the wy carefully to the back door to see it was kicked in and glance around seeing toys were scattered around the yard, "Someone broke down the down."

Sam can be heard counting down before he breaks down the door and instantly they see a woman in her lately 30's lying in a pool of her own blood and a check of her neck told them she was dead but they checked the rooms but found nothing and no one else there.

Sam picked up a picture frame, "Seems the boy and woman know each other."

Deeks shakes his head before finding another one, "Renko and both of them are in another one here."

"We need to talk to him and see what the woman and him have to-"

Renko walks into the house, "Her name is Daniele Baker and the connection she has to Marchanko or this case is she was related to Tranco," he ran a hand through his black hair looking around. "Daniele and him were first cousins while he has been in recent contact with her but not sure what they had talked about."

Deeks breaks the silence first, "How are you involved in all of this? The woman and the boy?"

"Jason is...my son," he sighs. "Daniele and me dated a few years back when I was on leave for a few months from an injury. I tried to get her to talk to me about what he had tried to get her to help him with but she wouldn't tell me anything and hadn't seen them in at least a week, anything."

"So far we have found nothing but CSU is going to come and comb through everything to see what they can find."

back at the Mission

Hetty looks up when Callen and the team minus Renko walk into the bullpen and sit down at their desks and she could tell something was bothering all of them as she approached them and doesn't miss how Kensi and Deeks both jump a little when she speaks, "We find anything a the home?"

"CSU is going through the house to see if can find something," Sam told her. "Will call if find something."

"What we know about the woman and the boy?"

"Daniele Baker she's 37-years-old with a 3-year-old son named Jason who we know his father is Mike," Nell said walking in with Eric both tapping on a tablet. ""So far the CSU hasn't found anything there btu were looking deeper into her family history to see if can find something more. LAPD already has brought Tranco to the Boatshed and there are agents there keeping an eye on him and APB still is out for Marchanko but so far it has turned up nothing new that didn't know."

Eric continues, "We let them know about the warehouse and the house and unmarked cars are outside both addresses incase he comes back."

"Do we know how Jason is?" Kensi asked wondering about him. "About his condition?"

"Renko set up protection detail for him there until he's released for observation just tonight. They were able to determine he has a broken arm due to someone twisting his arm so much it fractured his arm in three different places which they are setting to be in a cast for 8 weeks and go from there."

a few hours later

Callen walks into OPs to see Eric had fallen asleep at his station while Nell had her back to him with her head on the table by her station also asleep along as he shakes Eric's arm until he slowly wakes and picks up his glasses looking around the room spotting him, "Um, Callen?"

"Go home for the night and get some sleep," he told him as watched him do so before turning to shake Nell in the same manner as opens her eyes more. "Hey, it's getting late so should be heading home to actually have the chance to get some sleep for once more then a few hours."

She sits up yawning as look around OPs before going around shutting off everything, "Sounds like a good idea, ready?"

He nods before setting Chase inside his carseat and heading to the bullpen where everyone was heading home, "Night guys."
