Kensi had informed the others with what she had been told and she wasn't surprised when they didn't question her words when she told them her source or when they didn't ask anything else about it because they knew the phone call was a more private matter. Sam had been the only one to ask her if Callen had been ok and she had simply smiled and told him that he was and that he sounded more optimistic than before, something that they both were happy about.

When they had gotten back to the Ops center, they went straight up to Eric's tech room when he had whistled for them almost immedately. They hadn't even gotten the chance to sit or unholster their guns before they were walking up the stairs to the main room where they did most of their work. After she had hung up on Callen, she had immediately phoned Eric so that he could run a search for the names that he had given her. Now, they all stood around the middle table to look at the screen on the wall where Eric had put up the information on the victims.

"The 3 victims had nothing much in common except that they weren't reported missing until a few days later because the person who had taken them hadn't gotten back in touch." Eric explained and the others nodded at the fact that it fit in with what Callen had said. "All look different, all had different jobs and all were of different age. Only thing that is almost similiar is where they live which is the same area but nowhere where they'd run into each other frequently."

"Random killings then." Deeks said. "Because the murder from this morning doesn't fit it either except that the MO was the same."

"Have you searched anything gang related? Maybe with close friends or family?" Kensi asked Eric when she remembered that the only way that Callen would have found out about the kidnapping and murders is if it had to do with some people he was currently involved with and that was a gang. And gangs knew other gangs well.

Eric shook his head at her words. "Nothing came up."

"He's a ghost." Sam stated and everyone else nodded. "Wait, didn't G say he keeps them in warehouse until he wants to dump the body?"

Kensi nodded. "Is there a warehouse that's close to all 4 victims? One that's out of the main busy area and easy to miss." Eric searched as she had asked and they waited patiently for only a few moments before the results came up.

"One." Eric said as he put up a picture of the map to show them where he meant.

"It's not that far from here, actually." Deeks said too as he looked at the map and then turned to the others. "But it's in the middle of a greenary area which would keep it hidden."

"And noone would suspect it because they wouldn't know what we know." Sam added and then turned to the other two people on his team. "Let's go check it out."

They pulled up near the abandoned looking warehouse not long after and got out to check it out. Although they had no proof that this was the place they were looking for, they had taken precaution and gotten some backup and worn vests and entered slowly with their guns out as they went through the place. The enterance led them down a dim hallway that then split into a few other hallways. Sam indicated for Deeks and Kensi to go one way and he would go another with backup and the others would go the third and keeping in touch through their earphones and through Eric.

The place was very empty but at the end of the hallway that she and her partner went down, Kensi stopped as it split into two again. They made the decision to take one way each and kept in contact through the earphone constantly just in case and with Sam to let him know. There was a big room at the end of her hallway that was a bit brighter than the hallway itself and she approached it carefully so not to make a sound or to alert anyone else. When she got there, there were a few piles of carboard boxes piled up high that she hid behind when she heard other voices.

"Guys, I think I found the place." she told the others in a quiet whisper and peeked around the corner of the cardboard boxes to see two men talking to each other and she had just heard the name of another victim when she pulled out her phone so that she could record and take pictures of what was happening so she could send it to Eric or keep as proof incase they got away.

"Alright, stay where you are. I'm coming there." Sam was the first to reply and she could here him running through the earpeice.

Deeks was the same. "I'll be there in a minute." he told her and she only murmured an ok as she concentrated on both holding up her gun, holding her phone to take pictures and trying to read their lips.

"They're talking about the other victims, but in past tense. They must be dead already." Kensi told them through the ear piece. "I've got a few good shots. I'll send them to Eric-" she began to lower down her phone when she felt the familiar cold barrel placed to the back of her neck.

"Kensi?" Sam was the first to question her sudden quietness but before she could reply with anything, everything went black for her with a swift thud. She had tried to get away, but hadn't counted on another person being there to be the one to knock her out. "Kensi!"

Sam met Deeks halfway down the hallway towards the room where she had been and he knew that he had the same look of fear and worry as the LAPD detective did. Carefully but quickly, they entered the room, hoping to see more than just boxes. They looked everywhere and could see no sign of anyone being there.

"Maybe she was in another room?" Deeks suggested with hope but Sam could only shake his head.

"She was here. Look, blood." he pointed out the few drops on the floor and the smudge on a box before spotting something behind it. "I think I have her cell."

Deeks went over to him and nodded, knowing the sight of his partner's iPhone cell very well. "She did say she was taking pictures." he said and Sam tried to look at them.

"Damn, it's locked already." he sighed before calling in to Eric. "Eric, what do you have on her location?"

"Offline." he told them sadly and they all realised suddenly, now that the adrenaline rush and the moment had gone what had really happened. "She's gone, Sam. They took her."

Wow, once again, I'm amazed by the response to my fic! A massive thank you to all of you who added, alerted, faved and reviewed the first chapter, such as tibbee, MadiL93, liesel, CharlieLPHJ and Sairs J. I'm sorry for the short chapter. It's because this did seem the best place to stop and I have exams for the next 5 days straight so I don't have much time to dedicate to writing right now. But I love writing and hate leaving you guys hanging for long so I'd rather post something short that I know is decent rather than something that's long and terrible! Please R&R again and lemme know what you think :D :D
