Chapter 4

Callen and Kensi were sitting on the car doing surveillance. Dom and Sam had gone to talk to the family of the man who had been murdered so they were currently stuck in a car to try to catch the main suspect of the investigation.

"I want more!" It was Callen who broke the silence with those words.

Kensi gave him the bag of chips that she was holding and smiled at him.

"That's not what I mean, Kenz!"

Kensi sighed and looked away. "I know! I was just hoping that you would be smart enough to avoid that particular subject, at least for now!"

"I'm tired of avoiding that subject. I want to talk about it! I don't want our relationship to be just about the sex. I want us to be real…"

Kensi was still looking away, not wanting to meet his eyes.

"The thing is that I don't feel the same way…It's just sex, Callen!"

"You can't honestly say that you have no feelings for me…"

"Yes I can! You're a great friend but that's just it. It's just sex!"

"What if I don't want to go on in a relationship like that?"

"Then it's over…you're not going to change my mind just by saying that!"

Before they could say anything else, the suspect showed up and they had to follow him. Callen couldn't believe that Kensi really felt that way but if that was what she wanted then he would give her space. He would talk to Sam to see if he could stay with him. He doubted that thins with Kensi would ever go back to the way they were before and he didn't want his stay there to be awkward.

Callen packed everything that he had in Kensi's house before she got there. He didn't feel like talking about the reasons why he was moving to Sam's house instead of staying with her. He put the bag on his car and drove away after leaving the key that she had given him on top of the kitchen counter so she could see it. G knew that she would be home soon but he didn't care. She was a big girl and she would realize immediately why he had left.

He just hoped that he wasn't making a huge mistake…

Callen arrived at the operation's center the next morning and began his search for Kensi. He had been an idiot the night before and had regretted his choice as soon as he had left her house but by the time that he went back there, she was gone.

Since then, he had tried to call her multiple times but her phone seemed to be off so his only hope was to try to talk to her at work.

That was a lot easier said than done because she was nowhere to be found. After a couple of minutes he began to worry as did Sam, Nate, Eric and even Hetty. Kensi was never this late and on the rare occasions that she was, she would call one of them to let them know that she was coming in a bit late.

This time, there hadn't been a phone call and she was already half an hour late.

Eric whistled and Sam and Callen went upstairs to see what was going on. Director Vance was on the monitor and he didn't look happy.

"Good morning. I'm not going to waste my time with useless talk because there are more important things to do right now. Where's Miss Blye?"

Hetty was the one who answered him in a worried voice:

"She's not here yet, Director and we cannot reach her through her phone."

The director sighed and looked at the camera again.

"Then this makes this talk a lot harder for me. I received a call this morning from a very important man in Camp Pendleton informing me that one of my agents might be in risk. They couldn't give me any details because they had received an anonymous email with that information only. They don't know who sent it or why but if one of our agents is involved then it becomes our responsibility."

Callen couldn't believe in what he was hearing. Kensi had been kidnapped.

"We need to find clue that might lead us to Miss Blye and to the men who took her as soon as possible. Until we found out exactly who he is and what are his intentions, we must assume the worst. Keep me posted on the condition of the case and get to work immediately!"

The director hung up and they went straight to work. Callen started the orders, trying to hide his worry the best he could.

"Eric, I went to Kensi's house yesterday around midnight and she wasn't there. Are there any chances that she might have been taken from her house?"

"No. The GPS device on her car is still activated and according to it her car is at Camp Pendleton."

"What about her GPS tracking device on her phone?"

"Last time that it emitted signal it was a few miles away from her car. There was no way that she walked all that without a car. Besides, her car is parked a mile away from her mother's house!"

Sam was the one to speak next with a theory:

"So, Kensi leaves her house to go to Camp Pendleton. She parks her car a mile away from her mom's house and walks 10 miles away from it? That doesn't make any sense. She doesn't even like to walk…Why would she park her car so far away?"

"Eric, can we access the security cameras at the Camp?"

"We can but the cameras were deactivated during 20 minutes last night. When the video stops, Kensi's car is not there yet and when we get it back, the car is already parked there but no sign of Kensi!"

"What about her phone records?"

"According to her phone records, Kensi called her brother around 11.30 p.m. which means that she drove all the way there to meet him."

"She called him or he called her?"

"We can't be sure about that yet but it's more likely that he had been the one to call her. I'll know for sure in a couple of minutes."

"Sam and I are going to talk to her brother, to see if he knows something about this. Keep us posted."

"Okay!"

They arrived at her mother's house and knocked on the door. Callen hadn't said a single word during the entire trip there and it was making Sam a bit nervous.

Michael opened the door and as soon as he saw them, he went pale and led them inside.

"It's about my sister, isn't it?"

Callen and Sam looked at eachother, clearly shocked but Callen answered him.

"Yes. We know that she called you last night. Can you tell us what did you two talk about?"

"I called her last night but she didn't pick up so she called me when she saw the missing call. I received a threat against my family yesterday and I feared for her safety. I called her to make sure that she wasn't alone in the house and when she told me that she was alone I told her to call you or to go to someone's house. I didn't want her to stay alone. She told me that she would be fine but I insisted so she said that she would drive here and stay for the night. That's the last thing I heard from her."

"And didn't you think that it was weird to take her so long to get here?"

"I did but I thought that she had changed her mind and that she had gone to meet one you. I knew that you would keep her safe so I wasn't too worried. What's going on?"

"Your sister's car was found a mile away from here and her GPS tracking device sent its last sign 10 miles away from the car. The phone is there but Kensi isn't."

"Can't you see the videos from the security cameras?"

"No. Do you know who and why your family was threatened?"

"Yes. His name is Carl Harper. He was with me on this last mission. I saw him raping several women and as soon as we landed, I reported him. He told me that I was going to regret it."

"So he kidnapped your sister to make you drop the charges. Don't worry! We will do everything that we can do find her."

Once in the car and after telling the new information to Eric and Hetty, Sam began the talk.

"What happened last night?"

"She told me that she didn't want a relationship and I left the house to go to yours but I regretted that as soon as I left so I went back there but she was gone! I was afraid that she would never forgive me for it and that that would destroy our relationship!"

"You can't think like that, G! I had the same fears when I met my wife but it's all gone now. You have to trust your instincts. Besides, I don't believe that she has no feeling for you. If she didn't she would have never started anything with you. She's probably just scared to open up her heart!"

Callen sighed. He knew that Sam was right and that's exactly what had kept him up all night. All he wanted was to hold Kensi in his arms again and tell her that they would be okay; that he would never walk away and that she didn't need to be scared because he would never hurt her. He wanted her back, safe. Then, he would make things better again.
