The moment Callen left Ops he knew Nate was going to talk with him.
"Callen, I know you may not want to talk about but it is on Hetty's orders," Callen turned to face him.
"What's your evaluation of the situation?" said Callen and Nate sighed.
"It looks like they want her to willingly co-operate with them and do it because she either wants to or has to, not because she is being forced to. She must be significant not just someone his son likes otherwise there wouldn't have been all this. Odds are that after a while she will end up doing whatever she is told to do no matter how strong she is. What is helping her at the moment is a strong connection to someone else, someone who she sees as someone she could love and who understands her," he turned to face Callen. "You, I could see it when you looked away from the screen. You seem to care more about her than anyone else you have in a long time. Clearly your emotions for her make your judgment off," Callen looked down at his hands then up at him.
"No, it is helping me focus my attention," Nate snickered. "Nate, don't you even think about taking me off the case," he said.
"I wouldn't dream of it Callen. Clearly with this girl you have a chance to have a real relationship and I am not messing that up," Callen smiled. "If we don't find her soon there is a high chance we won't find her at all," said Nate. Callen's expression became grim. "His son, Sean, seems a very controlling person and with an upbringing like his he probably used to getting what he wants. If she doesn't go along with him after he tires of trying he will just simply force her to do it. This wouldn't be good because it would affect her in so many ways especially with her upbringing. Callen we need to find her," he looked down at his phone.
"I know Nate," he said as he walked away. He pulled out his phone and turned the volume up. He rewound it to watch the point at which she first woke up. During the conversation he could see some signs of confidence about her but the majority of the time she looked scared. He looked up to find Sam standing across from him.
"G, do you want to talk about it?" he said and Callen gave a half laugh.
"Sam, I already have one psychologist on my back I don't need another, but what I need is a partner ready to help me find her," Sam laughed.
"Good luck finding one of those; you are such a hard man to work with," they both laughed. "Eric said you might want to look at what is happening right now," Callen pulled his phone out and turned the volume up even louder.
