Callen's POV 2 Hours Earlier
"We got a call from him?" I was excited to know he was alive , but also terrified because it was now confirmed he was kidnapped.
"Yes, Mr. Calle. It's a ransom for a recently captured terroist, Ari Michal, age 19." Hetty answered but with a look in her eyes I didn't like.
"What?" I asked warily, not sure if I really wanted to know.
"Well, G as of right now we aren't allowed to negotiate with terroists." Sam told me.
"But..." I turned to Kensi. hoping she could tell me some good news. "If we have proof that Eric is in actual danger then we will be able to negotiate.
I smiled slightly. For now it seemed impossible, but at least there was a chance.
Present
"Guys! I'm getting a video link! Hurry, I think it's Eric!" Nell shouted from upstairs.
We all ran up the stairs as fast as we could, stopping only when we got to the room.
"Where is it?" I asked impatiently.
"Give it a sec." Nell mumbled, staring at the screen. "There."
A video popped up. The screen was filled with the face of a man I remembered all too clearly. "Hetty! That guy worked for Fadhil!" I whispered urgently. Hetty glanced in my direction and gave me a small nod, before turning back to the screen.
"Agent Callen and Henrietta. How nice to see you." The man said with a smirk. "As much as I enjoy out chat, I have never been a man for words, so I'll just so you the boy." The camera zoomed out to show a petrified Eric with a gun to his temple and dried blood on his shirt. My blood boiled knowing these people had hurt Eric, but I could do nothing about it.
"H-Hey guys. Please just do whatever they say and get me out of here." And then what Eric did next would haunt me for years to come, he started crying. I walked a couple steps closer wishing I was there and could stop the tears.
"I've already told Eric he would have to pay, but so do you Agent Callen." The man moved the gun away from Eric's head and pressed it into his shoulder. I cried out, knowing what was about to happen, but also knowing I could do absolutely nothing to stop it. There was silence, then a shot rang out, and the screen went black.
