"G?" Sam asked as he saw his partner staring at the screen.

Without saying anything he walked upstairs, leaving the others sitting there without a clue what was going on.

"Eric, can you trace the last email I got?" Callen asked in a demanding tone.

"Of course, something going on?" Eric asked.

"Just do it, let me know when you find something," Callen said and he walked back downstairs.

"What was that all about?" Nell asked once Callen was gone.

"I have no idea."

Callen walked straight past the bullpen and went outside. He got in his car and went home. He ignored Sam when he called after him.

"Where's Mr. Callen going?" Hetty asked.

"I have no idea. I believe something on his screen spooked him," Sam answered.

"I think I know why," Eric said as he appeared on top.

The agents followed him into OPS.

"What's up Eric?" Sam asked, eager to know what was bothering his partner.

"Callen asked me to trace his last email. We opened his email to see which one it was and then we saw these," Eric said as he put the pictures up on the screen.

"Oh my god," Kensi said when she saw the pictures.

"Eric, find out everything you can about this. Where the email came from, when the pictures were taken, everything," Sam said.

…

"G? What are you doing home so early?" Lori asked when Callen walked through the door.

"Something came up at work. I need to take you and the girls someplace safe."

"G, what's going on? Why are you acting so weird?"

"I'll tell you later, right now I need you to pack a bag and take you somewhere safe."

"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on."

"Someone has been watching you."

"What?"

"They sent me the pictures this morning in my email. So I need to take you 3 somewhere safe in case they followed you here."

"Fine, I'll get some stuff. Would you back up some stuff for the girls?"

30 minutes later Lori and the girls were at the boatshed.

"G, what the hell is going on? Who's following me?"

"I have no idea. I told Eric to trace it so I'm sure the others already know about it."

"That's right, Mr. Callen," Hetty voice sounded through the room. They looked around and saw Hetty on the screen. "What's going on? Has yours or Ms. Carter's identity been compromised?"

"I don't know Hetty. All I know is someone has been taking pictures of Lori and the girls so I need to keep them safe."

"I understand Mr. Callen, but next time don't walk off like that," Hetty said leaving no room for argument and Callen nodded. "Now Ms. Carter, do you have any idea who's been following you?'

"No I don't have a clue. Where were the pictures taken?" Lori said.

"Mr. Beale, pull up the pictures please," Hetty asked and Lori saw the pictures on the screen.

"Those two at the top were taken at the park."

"You know when?" Callen asked.

"Probably last week."

"And the others?"

"Uhm the others at the mall or just around LA when I was walking the girls."

"You managed to trace the email Eric?" Callen asked.

"Still searching," Eric replied.

"Keep searching. I'll talk to you guys later."

"Alright, we'll call you when we have something new," Eric said and he disconnected the call.

"Why would someone be targeting me?"

"Probably to get to me."

"That's gonna be a long list to go through then, you've made quite some enemies over the years."

"Yeah I know. You sure you didn't notice somebody following you?"

"Yeah I'm sure. If I had noticed I would've told you."

"So he's probably a pro then, could be a hired gun."

"Could be. Do you have any idea who would know about me and the girls?"

"No idea, someone could've done their homework."

"Someone like who?"

"I don't know. It could be anyone I guess. Maybe Eric has found something more on the email."

At that moment Sam, Deeks and Kensi walked through the door. Callen had his hand ready on his gun.

"It's only us G," Sam said.

"You got something?"

"Eric's still tracing the email and analyzing the pictures. Do you have any idea who did this?"

"It could be anyone, I have absolutely no clue," Callen said when Eric's face popped up on screen.

"Hey guys," Eric said.

"Hey Eric, did you find something?"

"I got a trace on the email. It was sent from a café on Pico."

"Does that café have security cams?"

"Already checked and came up with this," Eric answered and he played the video.

There was only one guy in the café who was on a laptop at the moment the email was sent.

"Can you get a clear shot from his face Eric?" Callen asked.

"Not from the camera in the café, but when he left I got him on a traffic camera, ran it through facial reg and came up with this guy," Eric replied as he put a picture up on the screen. "Brian Rogers."

"What do you know about him Eric?"

"He's an American citizen, he's a photographer. He spent some time in Romania 2 months ago. His father owns a PI office here in LA. Address is on your phones."

"Thanks Eric. You got a home address for him too?"

"Yep, it's on your phones too."

"Thanks Eric. We'll check them out," Callen said and Eric disconnected the call. "Kensi, Deeks you check his father's company."

"Okay," Kensi said and she and Deeks left.

Callen looked at Lori. Lori saw the look in his eyes.

"It's okay G, you can go with Sam. I'll be fine," Lori said.

"I don't wanna leave you here alone, unprotected."

"I'll be fine G. I've got my gun. Beside this place is safe."

"I know but still…"

"I'll be fine honey," Lori said and she cupped his face in her hands and gave him a kiss. "I'll be fine honey."

"Alright. I've you need me, I'll just be a phone call away."

"I know, but I'll be fine. Just find out who's doing this."

"I will." Callen gave her one more kiss before he left.

Lori picked the girls up and sat down on the couch.

"Don't worry, daddy will find out what's going on and we can go home. Everything will be fine."

…

20 minutes later Callen and Sam were at his house. They knocked but no one answered. Callen grabbed his lock pick and picked the lock. The cleared the place. No one was there.

"G, look at this," Sam called from one of the rooms. Callen stepped into the room and he couldn't believe what he saw. There were a lot of pictures of Lori and the girls on the walls. "Looks like he's following Lori for some time now."

"This is just creepy," Callen said as he looked at the pictures.

They looked through all the pictures he had. A little later they heard someone coming in. Guns ready they quietly moved towards the door. They saw Rogers walking into the apartment.

"Federal agents! Hold it right there!" Callen said.

As soon as Rogers saw them he made a run for it. Callen and Sam ran after him. A little later Callen cut him off. He tried to run the other way but there was Sam. Sam pushed him against the wall and cuffed him.

"I didn't do anything," Rogers said.

"Oh no, then why did you run?" Sam asked.

Callen and Sam took him to the boatshed and put him in the interrogation room.

"Is that him?" Lori asked when they walked in.

"Yeah it's him. We found a lot of pictures of you and the girls there so he's definitely the guy we're looking for."

"That's just creepy," Lori said as a shiver ran down her spine. "You know who sent him?"

"Not yet, but I'm gonna find out," Callen answered and he walked to the interrogation room.

"What am I doing here?" Rogers asked.

"Who hired you to take those pictures?" Callen asked angrily.

"What pictures?"

"Don't play dumb with me. The pictures you had all over your apartment. These," Callen said as he threw some pictures on the table. "Why were you following her?!" Rogers kept quiet. "Why?!"

"I want a lawyer."

"You want a lawyer huh?" Callen replied. He picked up Rogers by his collar and pushed him against the wall. "You're not getting a lawyer and you're gonna tell us who hired you to take these pictures!" Callen said, letting his anger get the best of him.

"G, take it easy. Let him go," Sam tried to reason with his partner.

Callen let him go and walked out of interrogation.

"You okay G?" Lori asked.

"That son of a bitch asked for a lawyer."

"Language G."

"Sorry. I'm just angry at this whole situation."

"I know honey, I know," Lori said as she stepped closer to Callen at put her arms around his neck. "I know you're angry, I'm angry too. Just try to control your anger and focus on finding who did this. You can do that?"

"Yeah I think so. It's just…. I don't want anything to happen to you or the girls."

"I know honey. But we're safe here. You just do what you're good at and find out who did this."

"Alright," Callen replied and he gave Lori a kiss before he stepped into interrogation again.

"You good G?" Sam asked.

"Yeah I'm good. Who told you to take these pictures?"

"I'm not saying another word to you without my lawyer."

"You're not getting a lawyer. You see, what you did falls under the terrorist law and they don't have a right for a lawyer," Callen told him, hoping he would buy it.

"Terrorist law? I'm not a terrorist."

"That woman you were spying on is a federal agent. So you're threatening a federal agent. That falls under the terrorist law."

"A federal agent? I swear I didn't know."

"She is. Now do you wanna tell us who hired you?"

"I don't know. He said he knew me from when I was in Romania. He contacted me through my father's company. I sometimes do photography work for my dad."

"Do you remember anything about him? His name, what he looked like?"

"No, nothing. All business was done electronically. I've met quite some people when I was in Romania. Don't remember everyone of done."

"Does your dad have any record of this?"

"I think so. I don't know."

"What was the order about?"

"He wanted me to take some pictures of her and he gave me an email address. He wanted me to send the pictures via the email to him."

"Well, that him is me," Callen said and Rogers looked at him shocked.

"I honestly had no idea. I've never seen the two of you before. He just wanted me to make some pictures. I didn't think it could hurt. He paid a lot of money."

"Sit tight," Callen said and he and Sam walked out of the room. "There's only one I can think of that would do this."

"But we got rid of them all," Sam replied.

"Maybe not."

"Who are you talking about?" Lori asked.

"Comescu," Callen answered her.

"Comescu? Isn't that the family who wanted you dead cus of some ancient blood feud?"

"Yep that's the one. We thought we killed them all when we went to Romania and then killed Dracul a little later, but maybe there's still someone out there."

"Maybe Kensi and Deeks found something at the office," Sam said and Callen dialed Eric.

"Hey guys," Eric said as his face popped up on the screen.

"Hey Eric, you found something or heard anything from Kensi and Deeks?" Callen asked.

"Kensi and Deeks are on the way back to the office. Nell and I are looking through the company's information."

"Try to look for anything from Romania, search for CF&Q limited."

"You think the Comescu's are involved, Mr. Callen?" Hetty asked as she appeared on the screen.

"Yes I think so. Rogers said it was someone from Romania. The only one in Romania I can think of who would do this is a Comescu."

"Didn't you get them all when you went to Romania?" Eric asked.

"We thought so, but maybe there's still a nephew or something out there."

"I'll search for that, let you know what I find."

"Thanks Eric," Callen spoke and disconnected the video.

"You really thing one of the Comescu's is behind this?" Lori asked.

"It could be. If one of them is still alive they could want payback." Callen saw the look in Lori's eyes. "Don't worry honey. Everything's gonna be alright. I'll get whoever is behind this. Don't worry." Callen pulled Lori in for a hug and gave her a kiss on her head. "Don't worry. I'll make sure you and the girls are safe."

"What about you? If it's really a Comescu he might want you dead."

"I'll be fine honey, don't worry," Callen replied and he lifted her head and gave her a kiss.

At that moment Julie started crying. Callen went to pick her up.

"It's okay sweetie. Daddy's gonna make sure everything will be alright. No one is gonna hurt you, your sister or mommy," Callen said and he gave Julie a kiss on her head.

"You got their travel beds honey?" Lori asked as she noticed Julie was getting sleepy.

"Yeah they're in the car, I'll go get them," Callen answered as he handed Julie to Lori.

They set up the travel beds at the other end of the boatshed were it was a little bit quieter, but still close enough so they could keep an eye on them. They put both girls in there so they could get some sleep.

Callen hated waiting around for something to come up. He wanted to find whoever it was who was taking pictures of Lori and the girls. He was so angry at whoever did that, that he felt he could strangle them with bare hands.

About 2 hours later they finally had something.

"Hey guys," Eric said as his face popped up on screen.

"Hey Eric, did you find something?" Callen asked.

"Yeah, we looked through his financials and came up with a payment for 50.000 dollar from CF&Q limited."

"So it is a Comescu?" Lori asked.

"Yes it looks like that."

"Do you know who's running in now? I thought we ended the family business when we took them out," Callen said.

"I traced the payment and it originated from right here in LA."

"He's here in LA?" Lori asked.

"At the time of the payment yes and we haven't found anything that suggests he left LA."

"Do you know who's behind it and where he is?" Callen asked.

"Nell's looking into that."

"Yes and I may have found something," Nell spoke as she moved into the frame.

"What is it Nell?" Callen asked.

"I did some more digging into the Comescu family and into CF&Q and I came up with this name," Nell answered as she put a picture up on the screen.

"Marku Comescu," Callen spoke as the picture showed up on the screen.

"He's a nephew. He started CF&Q again, with the intention to legalize it. According to TCA he's been in LA for the last few months, trying to set up business here."

"Until he found me."

"It seems that way yeah."

"Do you have an address on him or something?" Callen asked, his face getting red with anger.

"Yeah the address to his office building and an address for a warehouse, it's on your phones."

"Thanks. Send Kensi and Deeks to the office, we'll go check out the warehouse."

"Will do," Eric told him and he disconnected the call.

"You'll be okay here honey?"

"I'll be fine G. Don't worry about me. Just be careful and get this guy."

"I will," Callen replied and he gave her a kiss before he left.

Another agent was there as well to keep an eye on Rogers.

15 minutes later Callen and Sam were at the warehouse. It looked abandoned.

"Keep your eyes open Sam," Callen said.

"I know, you too. I don't plan on losing you to a Comescu."

"Don't worry Sam, I hadn't planned on that either."

"Good."

They went into the warehouse and cleared every room. Nobody was there. They looked around to see if they could find anything before they went back to the boatshed.

…

"The girls are asleep, I'm just gonna step outside to get some fresh air," Lori told the agent.

"Alright."

Lori walked outside and just looked out over the marina. She really hoped this was over soon and that Callen would stay safe. She heard a car pulling up. She thought it were Callen and Sam so she walked around to the parking lot. It weren't Callen and Sam. Some goons came at her. She tried to fight them off. She had fought off some but she didn't see someone walking up behind her. He smacked her on her head and Lori was knocked out. One of the men lifted her over his shoulder and carried her to the van.

Just at that moment Callen and Sam arrived back at the boatshed.

"Sam, they've got Lori!"

Sam quickly stopped the car and he and Callen got out.

"Federal Agents! Freeze!" Callen yelled raising his weapon at them.

They quickly had to dodge some bullets that were flying their way. One of the men loaded Lori into the van while the other kept shooting at them. The man shot out Sam's tires and they drove off. Callen quickly called Eric.

"Eric, I've got a license plate for you. 6 – Charlie – Peter – Richard – 7 – 9 – 0. They've got Lori."

"On it Callen."

Callen hang up at quickly went inside the boatshed to check on Julie and Myra. He was relieved when he saw that they were peacefully asleep in their beds.

"Where were you? You were supposed to keep an eye on her," Callen yelled at the other agent and almost launched at him but Sam stopped him.

"Easy G. This doesn't solve anything. And you're scaring your girls." Sam tried to reason with him.

Callen moved away. The girls had started crying when Callen yelled. Callen went to pick them up.

"It's okay. Daddy didn't mean to wake you. Everything will be fine. Daddy will get mommy back. Don't you worry about that. Daddy will do everything to get mommy back."

Callen rocked till they calmed down.

"You good G?"

"Yeah I'm good. Sorry Jack."

"It's okay. I understand. I shouldn't have let her go out."

Callen placed the girls in their car seats and packed up their stuff before he and Sam went back to the office.

"Mr. Callen,…" Hetty started when Callen walked into the office.

"Hetty don't start, I know I'm not supposed to bring Myra and Julie over but I'm not leaving them out of my sight now."

"It's fine Mr. Callen. What is was going to ask if you're still alright to work this case?"

"I'm fine Hetty. I need to find these guys and Lori," Callen said and he walked upstairs. "Anything new?" He asked as he put the girls on the table.

"I was tracking the van but I lost it in traffic. Got kaleidoscope looking for it," Eric said.

"What did Kensi and Deeks find out?"

"They said Comescu wasn't there. That he was away on a business lunch. So Kensi and Deeks are at the restaurant now. They're keeping an eye on him," Nell said.

"Great. Let me know when you have something," Callen told them and he grabbed the girls and walked back down to the bullpen.

He put the car seats down on his desk and went to warm up 2 bottles of milk since the girls had started crying again.

"You need a hand G?" Sam asked when Callen returned with 2 bottles.

"Thanks Sam," Callen answered and he handed 1 bottle to Sam.

They fed and burped the girls. Callen took Myra from Sam and sat down on the couch with both girls. Sam felt bad for his partner. He couldn't imagine what he would do if something like this happened to Michelle.

….

Lori woke up a little later in a dark room. She was tied to a chair. She didn't recognize where she was. The last thing she remembered was that some men walked up to her. Lori immediately thought about the girls. They were still at the boatshed. She hoped that Callen already had noticed she was gone and that he would take care of the girls.

A little later a man walked into the room. She recognized him. It was Marku Comescu.

"What do you want?" Lori spat out at him.

"I want your boyfriend, Agent Callen."

"I don't know an Agent Callen."

"Liar," Comescu said after he struck her in the face. "I know you're his girlfriend. You do have two beautiful daughters."

"Leave them out of this!"

"Oh I don't plan to harm them. I just want your boyfriend."

"He knows about you already. He's on to you. He'll come here to get me."

"I'm counting on it," Comescu said and he left the room.

….

It felt like an eternity to Callen before Eric and Nell had found something.

"We've tracked the car Lori was taken in and Kensi and Deeks just followed Comescu to this location. Address is on your phone," Eric said.

"Thanks Eric."

Callen took the girls to Hetty's office.

"Hetty, could you look after them please while I go get Lori?"

"Sure, Mr. Callen. Just bring Ms. Carter back safe."

Callen nodded and he and Sam went to the armory to gear up.

…

"What have you got?" Callen asked as they met up with Kensi and Deeks.

"Comescu moved in with 2 bodyguards," Kensi said.

"Including the 3 that took Lori would make that 5 bodyguards, plus Comescu. Have you spotted Lori yet?"

"No, not yet."

"Alright. Kensi, Deeks you move in from the back, Sam and I will take the front. Keep an eye out for Lori. If you see Comescu, by all means shoot him."

They all nodded and breached.

….

Comescu heard the gunfire in the distance.

"Looks like your boyfriend is here," Comescu said with a sick smile and he left the room.

Lori's mouth was taped so she couldn't scream.

Callen, Sam, Kensi and Deeks cleared all the rooms and shot some bodyguards while doing that. Callen and Sam each took a direction of their end of the warehouse.

"Lori," Callen said when he found her. He quickly checked if it was safe before he went to untie her. Lori was shaking her head and mumbling. Callen removed the tape from her mouth.

"G, no. It's a trap. Watch out!" Lori yelled but it was too late.

The next thing she knew Callen was lying unconscious on the floor.
