Callen and Sam were discussing what they had so far when Granger walked into the bullpen. Sam looked up "Where's Deeks?" Granger looked at him "I had Agent Johnson take him home and gave him strict orders not to leave Deeks for any reason." Sam eyed him trying to decide if he believed Granger or not. "Did you atleast find out what was in the envelop?" Granger sat in Deeks chair "It was just some pictures and a letter." Callen spoke up before Sam could "What did the letter say?" Granger turned "Honestly I don't know what the letter said. I asked if anything stood out in the background of the pictures but he said no and he told me the letter didn't say anything specific just basically a taunt to him." Sam was about to say something when Granger cut him off "Nell and Eric have the letter and pictures at this time."
Deeks had pulled up outside of the old abandoned building and parked the car. He took a quick look around before getting out of the car and heading around to the back of the building. The door was slightly cracked and he could hear humming he stood there for a moment listening to the song recognizing it as one that his mom loved. He pulled the door opened and entered with his hands up. He heard the chair scrape against the floor and heard the footsteps but wasn't expecting the hit to the face.
He didn't know how long he had been out but he was aware of the fact that he was tied to the wall. His first instinct was to look for Kensi and make sure she was ok, he found her chained to the wall adjacent to the one he was on. He was about to speak to Kensi when someone started speaking to him "Marty Deeks in the flesh. I have waited years for this moment." Deeks looked up and for the first time ever he understood what his father meant every time he said his eyes told the lie. The eyes staring right back him were the same shade of blue as his and that scared him and gave him hope at the same time. "You've waited years just to chain me to a wall and stare at me?" This time he expected the series of punches and braced himself for it. He heard Kensi suck in a breath but she never said a word or made a sound just watched on.
Granger wasn't sure Sam believed him but figured he could hold him off long enough to give Deeks time to do what he needed and get the information. He was about to go speak to Hetty when Eric came down the steps "We have something off the photos"
Sam was the first up the stairs to ops. Granger and Callen walked in at the same time. Sam being impatient started asking questions "Do you have location on Kensi? Did you figure out who took her?" before he could ask if they had a motive Nell cut him off "Slow down. We think the place she is being held in closed doors at least a decade ago." Callen had been studying each picture of Kensi as Nell spoke cut her off "It's an old bar the north side of the city. I hid out there once when I ran away from one of the foster homes I was in." Granger glanced at him "How can you be sure it's the same place?" Callen walked up to the screen and selected one of the pictures and zoomed in pointing at a drawing on the next to Kensi "I drew that." Sam took the opportunity to jump on the lead "Do you know how to get there?" He turned to Sam "It was so long ago and at night so not sure I remember right."
Granger looked between Callen and Sam then looked at Eric "Do me a favor and look for an overwatch signature." Sam spun around "Does Deeks know you've known her location all this time?" Eric looked up "The signal is coming from a location on the north side of the city"
Sam started to bark orders about getting a unit ready to go in to get Kensi when Granger cut him off "To answer your question no I didn't know where she was all along. Deeks requested I use overwatch and allow him to go in alone. We were suppose to wait 3hrs and locate him if I didn't hear from him." Sam sighed "You agreed to letting him go on his own with no back up?" Granger spoke in an assertive tone "Deeks knows what he's doing, we talked it over together. This was the only way we could think to do it to get what information we needed and to make sure that's where Kensi was." Sam looked like he was going to strangle Granger "Deeks tortured a man when he thought Kensi was dead. What makes you think he had everything under control when he went in there?"
Sam and Granger both jumped when Hetty said "That's enough! Sam if Granger thinks this was the right call to make then let it be. The only thing you can do now is go get both Blye and Deeks back." Callen spoke up "Did Deeks make any comment about how we were suppose to go in?" Granger shook his head "No but I think we should go in quietly." Callen nodded "ok I think we should also wait til we are closer to that 3hrs mark before heading that way that he has time to find out who this guy is and what he wants." He looked at Sam and could tell he wasn't happy but was going along with the plan.
Kensi watched as Elias walked back to the table. She turned her attention back to Deeks and looked him over wishing she could be right next to him. He turned and looked at her and tried smile but it looked more like a grimace. "Hey remember that time you spent like 3hrs in overwatch waiting for the suspect to make a move." Kensi just looked at him for a moment before realizing that he wasn't reminiscing but that he was trying to tell her the team would be there soon. She chuckled and responded "I was so bored sitting there wishing I had brought something to snack on." She glanced back over to Elias and watched as he inspected all the blades. She hoped the team showed up before Elias did whatever he had planned to do to them.
