"I'm sorry to interrupt," a nurse spoke as she walked into the room. "But the visiting hours are over. Would you please go home?"
"Oh yes, sorry. We forgot the time," Jenny replied.
"It's okay. It happens sometimes."
The nurse left the room.
"Thank you for coming by son," Nikita told Callen. "I hope you will come by more often."
"I will, I promise."
"Okay good. Take good care of your family son."
"I will."
"You really have a wonderful son Nikita, he has grown into a fine man," Jenny told him.
"I can see that yeah. Thank you for being there for my son."
"It's my pleasure."
They said goodbye and went outside. Yuliya went with them too.
"Thank you for coming Gavyn. I could see that dad really loved it. He really has missed his other family."
"How long does he have, honestly?"
"His cancer is pretty advanced but the doctor was very optimistic about this treatment. We couldn't get this treatment in Russia. But he mostly wanted to come to America to see his son. If the treatment works he could have a few more years. If it doesn't the doctor gave him a month till three months."
"When does the treatment start?"
"They've already started with it. We'll know soon if it's working or not. But I could really see a change in him tonight. He really loved it that you stopped by."
"What about your mother?"
"She died two years ago. It's just me and my dad now."
"Did your mom know about his other family?"
"Yes she did. He told her about that straight away. He said that his first wife had been killed and that his children went to America but that it wasn't safe for him. But mom knew he always missed them. He had this old photo of his family. It was in his study and sometimes he would just sit there and look at the picture. I really do hope you'll come by more often."
"I will."
"Good."
Yuliya got in her car and Callen and Jenny got in theirs.
"You okay G?" Jenny asked as Callen pulled up to their house.
"Yeah, I'm good. It's just all a lot to process."
"That it is. Just know that I'm here for you whenever you need me."
"I know that honey," Callen told her with a smile.
Jenny leaned over to Callen's side of the car and gave him a kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too."
They got out of the car and went inside. Jamie was on the couch watching TV.
"Hey," Callen called as they walked into the house.
"Hey dad, hey mom. How did it go?"
"It was fine," Callen replied. "Talked to him. It was fine. Finally know my name."
"Really?! That's awesome. What is it?"
"It's Gavyn," Callen answered as he sat down on the couch.
"That's a nice name. Was grandpa a nice man?"
"Yeah he was. We talked about my past, what happened before we came to America."
"Can I meet him too?"
"Maybe in a while. I just want to get to know him first."
"Okay."
...
The next morning when Callen walked into the bullpen only Sam was there.
"Morning Sam," Callen spoke.
"Morning G," Sam replied. "How did it go last night?"
"It went fine. We talked about my past, when we were in Romania. He told me what happened between him and mom and how we got to America. As he was telling that I started remembering a bit about that. It was actually Michael Reinhardt that took me and my sister to America."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I remember Nikita taking us to Russia and there we went with Reinhardt and we went in the plane that brought us to LA. I don't remember what happened after we got to America but I remember now how we got here."
"What about your name? Did he tell you your name?"
"Yes, it's Gavyn."
"Gavyn, sounds nice. But I'll probably stick to G. I'm used to that."
"That's fine. I'm used to it too."
"How sick is he?"
"He has cancer. They have started a new treatment here. If the treatment works he got get a few more years, if not it could be over within three months."
"I'm sorry G. I know you wanted to get to know your dad, but not to only lose him."
"I had given up on meeting my dad after I saw the grave in Ruza. I really thought he had died."
"Even if you only get a couple months with him, you still got to know your dad."
"Yeah I know. I just can't believe it all. It's a lot to process."
"Yeah it is. But you met your dad. You can get to know him."
"Yeah, after all these years. I just wished I could get to know my mom as well."
"Yeah, I can imagine that. I can't imagine what that's like, growing up the way you did. But hey, you turned out okay. I had to do a little work on you when I met you but you turned out okay," Sam spoke with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah. But the most credit goes to Jenny. Without her I wouldn't be who I am today. She gave me something I never thought I would have, a wife, kids, a somewhat normal life."
"She has been really great to you. I can see how much it has changed it. It already saw it just after you two got together."
"I'm lucky that I met such a wonderful woman."
A little later Kensi, Deeks, Clara and Nell arrived as well. Not a minute later Eric appeared at the top of the stairs and whistled.
"New case."
Eric went back to the OPS and the agents went upstairs.
"What have we got Eric?" Callen asked as they walked into OPS. They saw Hetty and Granger standing there.
"Oh oh, this is not good," Deeks stated.
"No, it's not Mr. Deeks," Hetty replied. "Mr. Beale, Mrs. Callen, please continue."
"We just received word that five NCIS agents have been killed. They were all working out of this office," Eric announced as he put their ID's on the screen. "Pete Davis, Rebecca Anderson, Will Lewis, Jacob Young and Maggie Evans. This is terrible all on its own but it's even worse when we discovered who killed them."
"It's Alain Janvier," Jenny told them as she put his ID on the screen.
"Janvier? Related to?" Callen asked.
"Yes. His son as a matter of fact."
"His son?" Callen asked shocked.
"He must want revenge for his dad," Deeks said.
"Yeah but why now?" Kensi wondered. "It's been what, twenty years since you killed Janvier," Kensi spoke to Callen.
"We don't know the how or why just yet," Jenny told them.
"But I think it's clear that he is out for revenge on the team who killed his father," Hetty spoke.
"Anything on the crime scene?" Sam asked.
"They were checking out a tip. They went to a warehouse. It was obviously a trap and he killed them. There is however an agent who survived, Brad Adams, he's in the hospital. Doctor said he should make it."
"Alright, Kensi, Deeks, Nell, you go check out the crime scene. Sam, Clara and I will go to the hospital to talk to Brad."
"You're splitting us up dad?" Clara asked.
"Yeah, I'm not letting you out of my sight. Not with a Janvier around."
"Okay."
"Eric, Jenny, see what you can find out and see if you can find him."
"Got it G."
"Call Jamie, tell him what's going on and send agents to our house to keep an eye on him. I'm not leaving anything to chance, not with a Janvier running around."
"I will G."
Everyone left and Eric and Jenny sat behind their computers.
"How did he find out that Callen was the one who killed his dad and that it was this unit and that those agents were part of it?" Eric questioned.
"I don't know. Maybe we've got a mole or maybe his dad told him somehow before he died. I just know that we have to find him and fast, before more agents die."
"Don't worry about Callen and Clara, Sam won't let them out of his sight."
Jenny made sure some agents were on their way to their house before she pulled out her phone and called Jamie.
"Hey mom," Jamie answered the phone.
"Hey Jamie, are you at home?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Okay good. Stay there. Don't leave."
"What's going on mom?"
"Something came up at work. I need you to stay at home. I've send some agents over to keep an eye on you."
"Okay, what's going on?"
"I'll explain later. I just need you to stay at home until you hear from me or your dad."
"Okay mom."
"Okay good."
"The agents are there," Eric told her.
"Okay. The agents are there, they will make sure everything is okay."
"Okay mom. Just find whoever it is your after."
"We will Jamie."
Jenny hung up the phone and went back to work.
…
Callen, Sam and Clara arrived at the hospital and went to Brad's room.
"Ah, I was wondering when you would show up," Brad spoke when he saw them walk into the room. "They told me the others had died."
"Yeah unfortunately," Callen replied.
"Do you know who did this?"
"Alain Janvier."
"Janvier? I know that name. Marcel Janvier, the one who was after you and killed agent Renko and agent Hunter?"
"Yeah, apparently Alain is his son. We don't know how he got this information. What can you tell us about this morning?"
"It's a case we were working on. We received some intel, it seemed to be legit so we geared up and went to the warehouse. When we arrived no one was there. We looked around but we couldn't find anything. Then all of a sudden shots were fired and we were down on the ground. The next thing I knew I was here in the hospital."
"Did you see anything?"
"No, I think the shots came from afar. It sounded like a riffle."
"Alright, if you think of anything else please let us know."
"I will, just find the bastard who did this."
"We will."
Callen, Sam and Clara went back to the office. Callen went upstairs to see if Eric and Jenny had something new.
"Anything?" Callen asked as he walked into OPS.
"No, not much," Jenny answered. "We're still tracking him and to see where the tip came from."
"Okay, let me know the minute you find something."
"We will G."
Callen went back downstairs, all they could do right now was wait for new information.
A little later Kensi, Deeks and Nell were back at the office.
"Find anything?" Callen asked.
"There wasn't much at the scene but we with the data we looked at the points the shot could have come from and we found some finger prints there. Eric and Jenny are checking them now. Don't know if they are from Alain or someone else."
An hour later Jenny and Eric came down the stairs.
"We may have something," Jenny announced. "Unfortunately the finger prints weren't in the system but we checked the cameras and we saw this." Jenny put a screenshot up on the screen. "This is about thirty minutes before the agents were shot. Now we can't see his face but based on his height this couldn't have been Alain, which means he had a partner."
"We also looked into the tip that we received," Eric continued. "It was send via email. We managed to track wherefrom the message was send. It was send from a coffee shop in downtown LA. We checked the cameras in the coffee shop. There was only one person on a laptop or other device at that time." Eric put the footage on the monitor. "Unfortunately he has his back to the camera. But as we zoom in." Eric zoomed in. "We can see it's the message we received. We watched to see if we could catch his face anywhere." Eric played it frame by frame. "As he gets up and walks out we catch his reflection in the window." Eric zoomed in on the window. "We ran facial reg and this is Alain Janvier. We scanned active cameras to see where he went next. Ten minutes ago we caught him on a traffic camera heading south on Pico. We caught the car he's driving and we're tracking it right now."
"Good work. Send us the coordinates," Callen told Eric and Jenny.
All the agents left and got in their cars. Eric kept them updated where the car was. It kept driving away from office. When they were about thirty miles out from the office the alarm at the office went off. Jenny checked the cameras to see what was going on.
"Oh crap," Jenny said when she saw the face on the camera. "It's Alain."
"What? How did he get here? We just saw him on the camera," Eric said.
"He must have changed cars."
"Crap, I'll let the others know. Callen, Alain is here at the office." There was no response. "Callen? Sam? Anyone?" No response.
Jenny tried calling but she couldn't get through. "He must have disabled it somehow." Jenny punched in some keys to lock themselves up in OPS but it wasn't working. "This is not good."
Suddenly the power went out and they heard some glass shattering. They saw smoke appearing. Before they knew it they were out cold.
..
"Eric? Jenny? Where is he now? We've lost him," Callen spoke but there was no answer. "Jenny? Eric? I got nothing. Damn it, this was another trap. Sam, turn around, back to the office. Guys, back to the office. Something is not right."
Sam drove as fast as he could back to the office. Guns drawn they went in. They still saw some of the remains of the smoke. The people were just waking up.
"Hetty, what happened?" Callen asked.
"I'm not sure. The alarm went off and suddenly smoke grenades came in and everyone went unconscious."
"Jenny!" Callen yelled as he ran up the stairs. Callen went into OPS and found Eric getting up on his feet again but no Jenny. "Eric, where's Jenny?"
"She was right here next to me a minute ago."
"Check the cameras."
Eric sat back down on his chair and pulled up the camera feeds. They saw Alain coming into OPS and he grabbed Jenny. Eric pulled up the outside cameras and they saw Alain leaving in a car with Jenny.
"Damn it. Eric check that car, we need to find her."
"Everything okay G?" Sam asked once Callen came back downstairs.
"He took Jenny," Callen spoke angrily.
"What?!" Clara yelled. "He took mom?"
"Don't worry Clara, we'll get her back I promise."
"That son of a bitch. When I get my hands on him…"
"Me first Clara, me first."
….
Jenny woke up and she noticed she wasn't at the office anymore. She was sitting on a chair with her hands tied behind he back and her legs tied to the paws. She wondered what was going on. The last thing she remembered was the alarm going off at the office and she saw Alain on the camera. Had he taken her? Why? To get to Callen? She tried to wiggle her hands but she couldn't get lose and she couldn't get her legs lose either. She tried to feel around to see if her cell phone was still in her pockets but it wasn't. She looked around the room. There wasn't much to see. There were no windows in the room just one lamp hanging off the ceiling. She tried to listen for voices on the other side of the door but she couldn't hear anything. She just hoped that Callen would find her soon, before this son of a bitch did something to her.
…
Callen was going crazy sitting around the office. He needed to find his wife. He needed to have her back safely with him. Eric was working as fast as he could to find Jenny. Since Eric was now alone upstairs Nell went to help him. Together they maybe could find Jenny faster.
"Don't worry dad, we'll find her," Clara tried to reassure Callen.
"I just hope he doesn't hurt her. I just wished he had taken me instead of your mom."
"He would have killed you if he got his hands on you. He won't do that to mom. He needs her alive if he's going to get you."
"Yeah, alive. But that doesn't mean he won't hurt her."
"She'll be alright dad."
Callen really hoped that. He would kill Alain if he would hurt Jenny.
….
Jenny looked up as she door opened and Alain stepped inside.
"What do you want with me? Let me go!"
"Sorry, can't do that. We need you here if we're going to lure your husband here."
"You stay away from him!"
"He killed my father!"
"He deserved it!"
Jenny was rewarded with a slap to her face. "Don't you talk about my father like that! He was a good person."
"Oh please. Do you know what he did?"
"Yes I know and I'm proud of him."
"You're just as sick as he is."
"Maybe. Which is way I'm gonna enjoy this. We just gotta keep you here a little longer before your husband joins us and then we'll make him watch as we kill you and then we'll kill him."
"You won't get the change."
"Watch me."
With a sick grin on his face Alain left the room.
….
An hour later Eric and Nell came down the stairs.
"We found her, address is on your phones," Eric announced.
"Good work. Let's gear up."
They grabbed their gear and went to the address Eric had given them.
"Be careful everyone, this very well could be a trap," Callen said before they breached.
Guns drawn they went into the warehouse. They scanned every room but there was no sign of Jenny or Alain. Suddenly a van drove into the building right behind Callen and Sam. Callen and Sam quickly dove to the side. Someone came from behind and knocked Callen unconscious. Before the other agents could react Callen was being pulled into the van and they drove off.
