(NCIS: OSP Headquarters)

(Callen's P.O.V.)

"Let me get this straight." Director Vance began, sounding irritated.

Nell, Eric, Deeks, Kensi, Sam, and Hetty were back in OPS with me and Ryan, while Director Vance, Gibbs, and Ziva had rejoined Tony in MTAC.

"Agent DiNozzo didn't shoot Gutierrez." Vance said. "Agent Taylor's brother did. Both Agent DiNozzo and Agent Taylor lied in their reports. And when Agent Taylor's brother found out Gutierrez was still alive, he threatened him under the name that just happens to be McGee?!"

Ryan, Tony, and I nodded.

"Oh, buggar." Hetty said, as she and everyone else realized just how much danger McGee could be in.

"Just when I thought this couldn't get any worse." Deeks said.

"I still don't understand why my alias is a big deal." Ryan said.

"It's a big deal because the Agent who is currently with your sister, is Agent McGee." Gibbs said.

"OK, seriously, what were the odds of that?!" Ryan asked.

"Well," Eric began. "If you put enough people in the same room, eventually you will have a repeat of a name."

Everyone just stared at him.

"Rhetorical question." Eric said, realizing that Ryan's question wasn't meant to be answered. "Right."

Nell patted Eric on the shoulder.

"With this new information," Vance began, gaining everybody's attention. "Not only is Agent Taylor in danger, but Agent McGee is in more danger than she is, when Gutierrez finds out who he truly is, and mistakes him as Agent Taylor's brother."

"I think they're both in equal danger." Sam said.

"Why's that, Agent Hanna?" Vance asked.

"Because Emily told Gutierrez that she was Callen's fiancée." Sam said.

"Wait, she-she-she said WHAT?!" Deeks asked in disbelief.

"Congratulations on the engagement!" Tony said, smirking. "Are you two getting married because you had an 'accident'?"

I glared at him as Gibbs hit Tony hard in the back of the head.

Tony made a face.

"I didn't know you and Emily were together." Ryan said.

"That's makes two of us." Deeks said, not to happily.

"We're not together." I said.

"So, she's still with Jake?" Ziva asked.

"Yeah, I guess." I said, a little annoyed. "I'm not her keeper. And that's doesn't matter right now. What matters is finding them before Gutierrez can hurt Emily." Then I quickly added: "Or McGee."

"Mr. Callen is right." Hetty said. "We have to find them."

Suddenly, my phone began to ring.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

(In a Building)

(Emily's P.O.V.)

McGee and I were sitting on the cot in silence, when we heard voices coming from the other side of the door.

"Do you know what their saying?" McGee asked me.

"No." I said, shaking my head a little.

A couple seconds went by, then the door opened.

Gutierrez and two men walked into the room.

Gutierrez was smiling a smug smile.

But once his eyes landed on McGee, the smile went away.

Gutierrez turned and looked at the man to the left.

"Where is Anthony DiNozzo?" Gutierrez asked.

"Is that not him, Sir?" The man asked.

"No, you idiot!" Gutierrez snapped at him. "That is NOT Anthony DiNozzo!"

"I-" The man began.

"I'll deal with you later." Gutierrez said, clearly angry.

Then, Gutierrez turned and faced us.

"Who are you?" Gutierrez asked McGee.

"No one you need." I said.

"I'm not talking to you, Miss Taylor." Gutierrez said.

I looked at McGee, just in time to see him look at me.

Then, McGee looked back at Gutierrez and said:

"My name is Tim."

"Tim." Gutierrez said. "As in, Timothy?"

"Yes." McGee said.

"And does Timothy have a last name?" Gutierrez asked.

"McGee." McGee said.

When McGee said his last name, Gutierrez's smile returned to his face.

"Nice to finally meet you, McGee." Gutierrez said.

Then, Gutierrez pulled a gun out from his back, and fired it at McGee.

"AH!" McGee screamed out in pain, as his hands went straight to his right shin. Which was now bleeding.

I looked at Gutierrez in shock.

"That, is for shooting me." Gutierrez said, lowing his gun and putting it away.

"What are you TALKING about?!" McGee asked. "I did NOTHING to you! I don't' even KNOW you!"

"Your last name is 'McGee', correct?" Gutierrez asked."

"Yes." McGee said.

"Then you got less then what you deserve." Gutierrez said. "You should consider yourself lucky I didn't kill you."

"What is wrong with you?!" I said, angrily. "Why did you say that he shot you?!"

"In Montreal, you and Mr. DiNozzo know that Mr. DiNozzo didn't shoot me." Gutierrez said. "At first, I thought he did. But then I get a call from someone named 'McGee', telling me he shot me, and to stay away from Mr. DiNozzo and you, Miss Taylor. And now, as luck would have it, I now have this so called McGee in my grasp."

I looked at McGee in shock as what Gutierrez said sunk in.

"Now, if you will excuse me, I have a afternoon planned out where I make another attempt to get Mr. DiNozzo." Gutierrez said. "But first, I think I will give your fiancé a call and let him know what it's going to take for him to get you back."

Then, Gutierrez headed toward the door.

"I'll let him know you said 'hi'." Gutierrez said.

Then, Gutierrez left the room. The two men who came in the room with him, followed him out. Closing, and not doubt locking, the door behind them.

"Fiancé?" McGee asked. "Since when has Jake been your fiancé?"

"He's not." I said, as I got up from the cot, and knelt down in front of him. Examining his leg.

"Then, who IS your fiancé?" He asked.

"I'm not engaged to anyone." I said.

"I'm confused." McGee said. "Why did he-OW!"

"Sorry." I said, as I retreated my hand from touching his bullet wound. "But I need to get that bullet out."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" He asked uneasily.

"Your leg would feel better." I said.

McGee hesitated.

Then, after about a minute of silence, McGee nodded.

"Ok." I said. "Bite on something."

"Like what?" McGee asked.

I studied him and noticed he was still wearing his suit coat.

"Take your coat off and bite on that." I said.

"Good idea." He said.

McGee took his coat off, and folded one of his sleeves a couple times before putting it in his mouth. He then gripped the edge of the cot with his hands.

"Ok, this is going to hurt." I warned him. "Just bare with me…Ready?"

McGee gave me a nod.

I then pushed his pant leg up as carefully as I could pass the wound.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

(NCIS: OSP Headquarters)

(Callen's P.O.V.)

I took my phone out of my pocket and saw a blocked phone number on my phone screen.

"Eric," I began.

"Whenever you're ready." I heard Eric say.

I looked at him and saw he was already by his computer. His fingers at the ready on the keyboard.

I let the phone ring one more time, then I answered it.

"Callen," I said.

"Ah, Mr. Callen." I heard a very familiar voice say. "It's so nice to hear your voice after all this time."

"Gutierrez." I said, a little bit of bitterness coming into my voice. "What do you want?"

"Callen, it's not what I want." Gutierrez said. "But more of what you want."

I stayed silent.

"You want your precious fiancée back." Gutierrez said.

I looked at Hetty, then I looked at Gibbs.

"What do you want?" I asked, as I looked away from Gibbs.

"For you to give me that diamond you took away from me." Gutierrez said. "Do that, and you can have her, and maybe even this McGee character I have in my possession."

"Why do you want the diamond so bad, Gutierrez?" I asked. "What use does it have to you?"

"You have two hours to decide." Gutierrez said. "But I think I know you're your answer will be."

Then, the line went dead.

I hung up my phone.

"Ugh!" I heard Eric say, clearly annoyed. "Almost got him. But he is definitely in Los Angeles."

"What did Gutierrez say, Agent Callen?" I heard Vance ask.

I looked up at him and said:

"He knows he has McGee instead of Tony. He even called him by name."

"That's not good." Kensi said.

"It's DEFINITELY not good." Ryan said in agreement.

"He also said if I want them, I have to hand him the diamond." I said. "He said I had two hours to decide."

"Mr. Beale," Hetty began. "Send the surrounding coordinates of the cell phone to Miss Blye's phone." Hetty then looked at Kensi and Deeks. "Miss Blye, Mr. Deeks, go to the location and look for any sign of Gutierrez or anyone suspicious looking. Take Mr. Hanna with you. And be back here in one hour."

"You got it." Deeks said.

Then, Deeks, Kensi, and Sam left OPS.

"Miss Jones," Hetty began.

But I didn't wait to hear what Hetty had to say.

I began to walk toward the door.

"Agent Callen." I heard Vance say.

But I ignored him, and left OPS.
