Chapter 5

The office at OSP was empty except for lone Callen, who had shown up around five in the morning since he couldn't sleep. It was now seven thirty and Sam walked through the door. He looked a little calmer after taking his anger out at the gym, but still angry. He looked to Callen and nodded his head with determination in his eyes to finally find something on Kensi's whereabouts. Callen replied with a curt nod and looked back down at the file in front of him. Sam sat down at his desk and began flipping through the same file they had gone through yestereday to see if he could find something that they had missed.

The next person through the doors was Hetty. She saw the two men at their desks with their noses in files and began to shake her head at them. She should have known they would be here this early. They looked up and saw her walk off to her office.

The rest of the team walked in going their different ways except for Deeks. He hadn't shown up yet. They all just figured he had gone to surf. A couple hours later, Sam and Callen looked at each other and spoke volumes between their looks. They both thought the worst after what had happened to Kensi. They both got up from their desks to walk to Hetty's office. When they entered she was on the phone with someone trying to get more information. She looked up at them and ended the call.

"Yes?" she asked them while putting the phone back into its place.

Sam spoke first, "Deeks still hasn't showed up to work. We know that he's bent on finding her and would have been here by now."

Hetty nodded her head. "I'll call the Blyes while you go to see if maybe he's just simply sleeping."

They exited the room as Hetty was dialing on the phone.

The silver Charger pulled up in front of Deeks's apartment. Callen and Sam got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the apartment complex. They went up to Deeks's apartment and entered. Everything was still in place and in tact so they continued into the apartment hoping that Deeks was just asleep. They went to his bedroom that was clean and empty except for a couple of drops of blood sorrounded by a puddle of water on the floor. Sam and Callen gave each other a look that said this is not good. Callen began dialing Hetty.

Hetty answered on the second ring, "Mr. Callen."

"Hetty, he's not here. There are blood drops on the floor of his bedroom. He was probably knocked out and dragged to the car," Callen informed her.

"Alright Mr. Callen, see what else you can find and head back here afterwards."

He hung up the phone and told Sam that they should continue searching. After an hour, they hadn't found anything except for Deeks's gun and badge on his kitchen counter. They left the items there, having confidence that Deeks would be back to use them.

They went back to the car, Callen got on the driver's side of the car and Sam, on the passanger's side. Sam got in and slammed the door hard from the rage going through his body. Callen looked at him, "Sam, just breathe. We'll find them don't worry."

"I know we'll find them, G. I'm just worried about what conidition they'll be in when we find them."

"Kensi and Deeks are both strong. They'll last for each other and the team."

They both went silently to their own thoughts on their way back to OSP. They arrived at the building and both took a deep breath before leaving the car. They entered into the old looking building and went to find Eric and Nell.

"Hey, Eric. Can you get the video footage from the front of Deeks's apartment?" Sam asked.

Eric began typing on his computer and pulled it up. "Here it is."

"Ok, go to last night and see if you can find Deeks leaving and entering."

Eric rewound the tape. "There," Nell said pinting at the screen.

In the street, was the same car that had been used to take Kensi and Deeks was being dragged to it by men dressed in black. Deeks's unmoving form was thrown into the trunk of the car just like Kensi's body had been.

"So we know it's Dorlin and he's got a partner to help him, but why take Deeks if they already have Kensi?" Callen said aloud while thinking to himself.

"Maybe it's to use him against her since she wouldn't give anything up," Sam said.

Deeks and Kensi looked up into each other's eyes when the clicking sound of the locks being undone began. The three men walked into the room wearing evil grins across their faces.

"So Kensi, are you going to give me what I want?" Dorlin asked her.

She remained quiet, still with defiance shining in her eyes. Dorlin snapped his fingers and the two other men stepped towards Deeks. Kensi looked at Deeks with apology written all over her face. The smaller of the two muscular men dragged Deeks to his feet when the other man began to beat him. He was giving rapid successions of blows to Deeks's ribs. Kensi heard the snap of his ribs being broken. The man then began knocking his fists into Deeks's head almost sending him to the darkness again.

Kensi then broke. "Stop! Please stop, he has nothing to do with this so leave him alone."

The men stopped and looked to Dorlin. "If you give me the information I want he won't be hurt anymore. So will you tell me?"

Kensi opened her mouth to speak when Deeks spoke up in a raspy voice, "Kensi, don't tell them anything about your father."

All of the people in the room turned to look at him. "How did you know what I was asking her for? I haven't indicated the exact information I wanted since you've shown up," Dorlin said. There was silence until he walked towards Deeks and punched him in the abdomen. A grunt left Deeks's mouth, the first, although he'd already been punched repeatedly. "Answer me," Dorlin commanded.

Deeks looked up into the man's green eyes. "Yes, I know what you want. You want to know if Kensi's father is actually alive and if he is, where exactly he is staying."

Dorlin's body stiffened and anger flashed in his green eyes. He punched Deeks repeatedly causing him to collapse to the ground. "I will be back," Dorlin said while the three ushered out of the room leaving Deeks and Kensi alone again.
