Sam headed back to where rest of his team was and looked around, "Kensi and Deeks you head to the safe house and with the kids and woman."

"So were babysitting?" Deeks asked sounding bored.

"It's either that or stake out at the hospital as a ordily changing bedpans."

The blonde man threw up his hands, "Not again so will take care of the munchkins and keep them away from fern."

Kensi punched his shoulder, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Means that you aren't great with kids," he said as walked outside with Catherine.

Danny turned to the three remaining NCIS people, "Should we be worried?"

"Their always like that," Nell told him. "And Deeks is great with kids while Kensi is getting there."

Kono walked over, "So far CSU has come up with nothing that will tell us what she was doing here or what has to do with any of us."

A few Seals walked to the common area so Steve and Sam followed them into the office leaving everyone to glance to where they were standing in the office. Chin sighed and started typing away on the smart table trying to find something, "Okay, looks like her brother and cousin were both right and she hadn't been back to the island in at least five years for some reason. As for a reason why kidnap Gracie still haven't found anything."

"Okay bt why her and not someone else? You have connections to Croatians?"

Danny thought, "Never had a case involving them."

/*/*/*/

A few hours had passed and seemed that something seemed to be bothering Steve so his partner stopped in the doorway of his office, "How about before you kill someone with that death glare been wearing all day we go and get some dinner."

"We need to find something before-" he was interrupted by a bullet went through the window smashed into the wall next to where Steve was. Both men pulled out their guns and Steve caught sight of a man running down the street. "See that Danno?"

Both men took off running outside as Danny texted Kono and Chin telling them what was happening and they took off after the shooter. Danny could see that the man was making a run around the corner from HPD and took off in another direction to try cutting him off. Steve shook his head at his and ran faster ducking as the other man turned around firing at him but the bullet whizzed passed the side of his head by millimeter. Danny rounded a corner and tackled the man at the same time as his partner and all three men heads collided with each other landing in a heap on the floor and officers were there in seconds.

Chin helped Danny up with Kono got Steve and pushed the man to the officers, "Take this man to interrogation and wait for us."

After EMT checked both of them over and they headed back to interrogate the man Nell meeting them, "His name is Julio Ortiz seems that he has a connection is Lana because he was the last phone number that she had called. The phone found on him is a match to the call."

"Want to tell us why you ran and proceeded to fire at us?" Danny asked the man.

He remained silent and before could say anything a man walked in, "My client has nothing to say to you and need to release him."

Steve shook his head, "Your client is under arrested for firing at police officers and evading."

"Who are you?" Danny asked the man. "You two know each other?"

"Mr Hanson here represents the two men that are sitting in the hospital."

"Lt Com you have nothing to hold him on in the first place."

Danny rolled his eyes, "Seems no one told you the man was running from the scene where he had fired into my partner's office."

"You have no proof that it was actually him."

Kono knocked before walking in, "Was caught on camera fleeing from the scene with the rifle in his hand."

"I was not intending to hurt anyone just to scare you," Julio told them. "A man threatened me to do it and as for this ass want him out of here."

"Mr Hanson think you have been fired," Kono said showing him out.

"How did he threaten you? You know the man?"

Julio took a deep breath, "He has my family and said if didn't do it would kill them."

Nell was typing on the smart table when they got back, "I have checked everything on Ortiz and there's nothing to indicate he has any family. He had been in foster care system since he was 3-year-old, his mother killed herself at 3, father has been in prison since before he was born."

Catherine walked back in with dinner along with Callen and Sam, "That's who shot at you?"

"We caught him with the rifle but-" Danny started but stopped when Calvin and Henry walked in. "Your boys are back."

Steve ushered them over but they were staring at the picture, "You two know something?"

"Smooth Dog you recall that one person got away?" Calvin asked and he nodded. "We finally ID the man, Joseph Connor. Has been wanted by three different countries for drug/human/weapon trafficking for close to a decade and a half. Have a whole list of aliases."

/*/*/*/

Catherine walked back into the common area of the offices and looked around before spotting the pictures, "Danny those this?"

The blonde man walked over reading a file, "He's the man who shot at Steve's office earlier trying to connect him."

She moved to the smart table and pulled a fie, "Find Steve and everyone."

Within minutes everyone was around the table, "What did you find?"

"A few years back when Steve was still in the Navy had coordinated an OP with his Seal team," she told them pulling up the information. "Looking for a man by the name of Jorge Yorker who was thought to have been killed in a shootout by NYPD and the FBI but never could find his body."

Jake and rest of the team arrived along with few others, "So you're sure it's him?" Jake asked.

"But how is this connected to me?" Danny asked. "Or Lana Thompson?"

The newcomer put his tablet down, "You worked a murder case looking for Adrian Carlson about 10 years ago?"

Danny thought a moment, "Yeah, he killed 10 people over the course of five months but he went underground but how?"

"Carlson changed his name but Jersey people had his prints in the system his name using now is Ronald Wilson."

"So he has some connection because he was said to be the hit man to some mob in Europe."

Chin ran into the room, "I ran the name through the system and turns out found our mole, Wilson is a cop here on the island."

Nell shook her head, "He's part of the guards at the hospital who just called and said both men have escaped."

Sam thought a moment, "He was there at HPD when talked about the safe house."

Kensi was braiding Gracie hair when heard something outside, "Kiddo, take the little ones upstairs and hide."

Deeks had just put the little ones asleep when the little girl told him what she said so helped put the kids in the closet and covered by a few blankets, "You two need to make sure that the little ones don't move from here until come and get you."

"Okay Marty," Grace said nodding.

"Here in case but call your dad," he said handing her his phone and the teen his backup weapon. "Don't shoot unless have to."

"How you know how to fire this?" he asked.

"Heard Williams talking about the last time you did other day," he told him and walked to find his partner holding her gun. "What you got fern?"

She pointed to the window where someone walked past, "No way that's someone we know."

"You call for some backup?"

"Sam said their on the way here in about 10 so have to hold until than. Kids?"

"Back bedroom in a closet so safe wont move until know it's safe."

Kensi and Deeks waited until the back door burst open and Deeks first two shots hitting the man in the chest at the same time Kensi took down another. By than Sam and Callen got inside while Kono and Chin snuck through a side window and took out another two. Steve and Danny both barely got out of his truck when met by hail of gunfire coming from the woods and moved quickly to take cover by side of the house and returned fire. Catherine had met up with Kono and Chin helping take another three people out. Took another ten minutes before had them all down and left one man alive. The Seals also assisted in the whole thing ultimately killing nine gunman.

Danny rushed over to where Kono was leaning against the wall after getting hit in the leg, "What's the damage?"

"Kono has one to the leg, Deeks one to the arm and Catherine has one to the shoulder," Chin said.

Steve found the room where the kids were hiding making sure to move the two dead guys on the stairs, "Bry, you can come out."

The door flew out and both Gracie and Matt ran into his arms crying, "Uncle Steve that was...so scary."

Sam helped grab the youngest three setting them in the cars outside as EMT's checked everyone, "How about we get them somewhere safe?"

Steve tossed him his house keys, "Put them to sleep at my place."

/*/*/*/

A few hours had passed and around two in the morning everyone piled into the house crashing around the living room, "More than enough space get some sleep."

"Chin had taken Kono home for the night and went home himself," Sam told him. "Think can Smooth Dog?"

"Danny sleeps on that couch all of the time and there's an air mattress can use or couch in old office. Gracie is already asleep with Matt."

This got a smirk from his friend, "Whatever you say but get some sleep look like crap."

Danny looked at his partner, "How are they?"

"Nothing to bad but will be in pain for a while though."

"To think she just go the go ahead to surf again."

Catherine pulled on his arm while on crutches, "She will be able to in a few weeks but should get some sleep."

Danny went back to the couch yawning but Gracie soon joined him curling up on his chest both falling asleep. Catherine didn't take long to fall asleep with the help of the painkillers she was on for the gunshot to her leg. Steve stayed awake listening to everyone in the house before drifting off. Kensi took while to fall asleep but she had curled up in one of the chairs with her partner while Callen and Nell did the same. Sam had taken the couch in office a tight fit and soon everyone was out for the night.
