Eric sent the car's make, model, license plate number, location to Kensi, along with the information for the owner of the car, and all other important information. Kensi read over it, and then forwarded it to the team.
After Deeks left, Callen glanced at Sam.
"I'll fill Hetty in." Sam called Hetty and explained to her about how Nell remembered what happened and how the guy threatened to come back for Nell and kill Eric if she told anyone.
"Mr. Hanna, I want them both to have a protective detail starting immediately." Hetty said.
"Eric is at the hospital with Nell. Kensi's with them."
"Mr. Hanna, I want you and the team to find these low-lives using whatever means necessary. Do you understand?"
"We understand. Trust me. We want these bastards caught."
"Good." Hetty hung up. Sam looked at Callen.
"We should probably go help Deeks." He and Callen left and went to OPS.
Deeks kept reading through the pile of files when Callen and Sam arrived. They each took some files and began reading. Deeks glanced at his phone when it vibrated. He pulled up the text that Kensi had forwarded him.
"Hell yes! Eric found the car!" A smile crossed Sam's face, finding the car got them a step closer to catching the bastards. Callen grabbed his keys.
"Let's go." He and Deeks ran outside. Sam followed Callen and Deeks outside. As soon as Sam and Deeks were in the car, Callen sped to the address that the car was at. They hopped out and grabbed gloves. Deeks went over and opened the trunk.
Nell dreamt peacefully, until the attack filled her dreams...turning them to nightmares. She fought back as hard as she could, but then she could see a knife and she felt it stabbing her- Nell let out a scream, terrified. Eric immediately put his laptop aside and gently shook Nell.
"Nell, wake up. It's ok. It's just a dream." Kensi nearly jumped when she heard Nell scream. She ran into the room with her gun out, her pulse racing.
"Whoa Kensi! There's no threat. Nell's just having a nightmare." Eric said glancing quickly at her, then turning his attention back to Nell. Kensi re-holstered her gun and exhaled slowly.
"Geez, that scared me." she murmured. Nell kept screaming, not waking up. Eric shook Nell a little harder.
"Come on, wake up. Wake up, Nell." Nell's eyes shot open and she burst into tears. She flew up and threw her arms around Eric, shaking. She clung to him, taking gasping breathes, terrified. Her throat was burning. Her gasping breathes turned into a harsh wheezing. Eric held her close, rubbing her back softly.
"Shh...It's ok. Calm down, you're safe." He whispered. Kensi fired off a quick text to Deeks.
U guys find her purse? Nell needs her inhaler, ASAP.
Nell shut her eyes tight, still wheezing. She tried to calm to calm down, but nothing calmed her attack. Kensi ran from the room to get a doctor.
"You're going to be ok. Kensi is getting the doctor." Eric kissed her forehead. Nell clung to him, her chest tightening in pain as she wheezed. It hurt to breathe.
Sam helped search the car. Callen looked at the trunk, right as Deeks read Kensi's text.
"Oh shit! We need to find Nell's inhaler, now!"
"She's having an attack?"
"Apparently!" Callen searched the carpet and found it in the corner of the trunk.
"Got it!" He jumped back into the car in his side, Deeks' at his side. Deeks started the car. Sam hopped in. Deeks threw the car in gear and slammed his foot down on the gas. The car shot forward, doing 60 out of the lot, picking up speed in seconds flat. Callen's hand clutched the door handle.
"Are you trying to kill us all?" He shouted.
"Kensi taught me how to drive. Just hold on."
"I knew their partnership was a bad idea!" Callen snapped. "Because he now wants to kill us!" The car went around the corner, almost on 3 wheels. Sam held onto the door handle tight and looked at his partner.
"I am going to kill Kensi for being such a bad influence on him. Both of them need to be sent to traffic school." Sam remarked.
"Hey, I'm not normally this bad! I never took off the side mirror!" Deeks argued. He kept speeding to the hospital, then whipped into the parking lot as Sam rolled his eyes.
Kensi ran over to Nell's doctor. Dr. Cornwell looked up.
"Agent Blye? What's wrong?"
"Nell's having an asthma attack and she doesn't have her inhaler." She explained quickly. Dr. Cornwell ran to Nell's room with an inhaler, as Kensi paced in the hallway. Eric grabbed the inhaler and handed it to Nell. "Here, this will help." Nell clutched the inhaler and used it quickly. She leaned to Eric and shut her eyes, starting to try and calm down. Eric slowly rubbed circles on Nell's back to help soothe her. He smiled gently. Nell finally relaxed, finally able to breathe comfortably again. She leaned her head to his shoulder. Dr. Cornwell left.
Callen and Deeks hopped out of the car as soon as it was parked, Sam close behind. Sam led the way inside to Nell's room, Kensi behind him. Deeks and Callen halted at the sight of Nell, looking a bit more...calm then they expected. Callen still had her inhaler in his hand. They all breathed a sigh of relief that Nell was ok. Eric softly kissed her cheek. Nell pressed to him, a small smile on her face.
"How are you feeling, Nell?" Deeks asked gently.
"Better..." Nell whispered. Eric held Nell close in his arms. He liked having her so close. He was glad that he could be here for her. Kensi smiled at Eric and Nell, then turned to Deeks, Callen, and Sam.
"You guys find anything in the car before I interrupted you?"
"Not yet, only Nell's purse." Sam answered.
"We should probably look at the files again, but so far we haven't found anything." Deeks added.
Kensi glanced at the boys.
"Ok. Keep me posted." She went back to her position in the hallway. Sam set Nell's purse on the bedside table.
"We should get back to work. Feel better, Nell." He said. Callen set Nell's inhaler next to her purse.
"Stay safe and stick together." He said, before following Sam. Deeks smiled.
"Feel better and take it easy." He left. Finally alone, Nell shut her eyes.
"This feels so...you make me feel safe..." She whispered. Eric gazed at Nell with a soft smile on his face.
"Good. I'm glad. I want you to feel safe. I'd do anything to protect you." He whispered.
"Thanks Eric...it means a lot.." Nell whispered. Eric softly wiped away a few tear tracks from her cheek from when she had the nightmare.
"Why don't you try to go back to sleep?" Nell nodded, then shut her eyes and fell asleep.
Callen got in the driver's seat before Deeks could and started the car. Deeks climbed in the backseat, and Sam in the passenger seat. They went back to OPS.
Eric held Nell as she slept, then shut his own eyes and rested.
Kensi watched as a man in scrubs walked over. He headed to the doorway of Nell's room.
"I need to see your ID before you go in. It's just a precaution." The nurse nodded and reached into his pocket. Suddenly, Kensi was grabbed from behind, around her neck, by a pair of strong arms. Her fingers pried at the arms, trying to free herself so she could breathe. She slammed her head backwards into the other guy's face. There was a grunt of pain, and she was fee. She lashed out at the man and got him in the stomach. He nailed her in the face with his fist. Kensi bit back a cry of pain. She felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, then collapsed on the floor, unconscious. The fake nurse put his gun back in its' hidden ankle holster and smiled at the other man. The 2 men walked into Nell's room. Eric jumped to his feet when he heard a loud thud outside the room. He stood protectively in front of Nell when he saw some blood on one of the man's hands.
"What did you do to Agent Blye?"
"She's taking a nap." The fake nurse punched Eric and shoved him against the wall. He started beating the shit out of him, as the other man went over to Nell.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Eric yelled. He used all his strength to shove his attacker away, then punched the man moving towards Nell. The fake nurse, once again, grabbed Eric and pistol whipped him, knocking him out. Nell was roughly thrown on the floor. Both Eric and Nell were bound at their wrists and their ankles, duct-tape over their mouths. The man snuck the 2 techs out of the hospital and threw them in a van, before driving away.
Oh no, the guy is back again!
Hope everyone enjoyed! I thought we needed a little bit of humor, so I hope everyone found drive to the hospital a little funny! Reviews would be greatly appreciated!
