Eric sat working away at his terminal in OPS, he was working on a new legend for Callen. He kept looking at the clock, Nell was never late and today she was already ten minutes late. Eric was growing uncomfortable, something was wrong but he knew it wasn't his place to say anything. Nell could be off on a field trip for Hetty for all he knew. Eric tried to focus on his work.
The doors to OPS quietly swished open allowing Callen entrance into the office of those far more technical than he. Eric was clearly engrossed in his work as Callen scanned the room.
"Where's Nell?" asked Callen.
"Not in yet." replied Eric. "Probably off doing something for Hetty."
"Miss. Jones, I need . . . " said Hetty enter the room.
"I guess not." added Eric quickly.
"Mr. Beale, where is Miss Jones?" asked Hetty.
"I don't know."
"Why don't you find her for us?"
Eric turned back to his terminal and began tapping away at his keyboard. He had called her earlier and it had gone straight to voice mail.
"I am running a trace on her phone."
Callen and Hetty knew something was wrong as it was taking far too long.
"The battery has been removed or it has been destroyed." Eric paused. "The last location I have for her is near Venice at 10:52 last night, she received a call from a burn phone it lasted 15 seconds. "
"Oh," said Hetty.
"Can you get anything on the burn phone?" asked Callen.
"I am working on it."
"Please go get the rest of the team , it seems we have a new case."
