Chapter 15

For Eric, if you had asked him, the next ten minutes did not pass in a blur, like they do in television shows. No, he felt every second as if each one were an hour. He paced he reloaded and cleaned and re-reloaded his gun, he checked the sights and Sam was staring at him like Eric had been replaced by someone else.

"WHAT!" Eric snapped looking at Sam staring at him.

"Who are you and what have you done with Eric," He said hoping a little brevity would calm him down.

Eric shot him a look. "Sam I said I didn't like guns, you don't think as an analyst that we don't have to be proficient in firearms if we have to go out in the field?" he asked.

Sam looked at Callen.

Callen nodded, "He does…his scores are higher than Deeks'" he admitted.

"Come on anyone can get higher than Deeks." Sam snapped, again making fun of the detective.

"Sam," Callen said carefully, "Deeks' scores are higher than yours." He told the larger man.

Sam stood and looked affronted. "Na, come one… Really! Deeks'!"

Callen smirked and Eric relaxed a little, letting Sam, think that he was joking…He wasn't.

Finally back-up arrived and they went over the plan, Kensi and Deeks taking one side. Sam, Callen and after much arguing Eric, would take the other with the FED's backing them up. Two ambulances were on standby and Nell was in OPS providing extra back up.

Eric refused to wear and earwig, he checked his clip one last time and they moved in.

Klaus had seen the trucks down the road and figured the FBI were raiding the marijuana factory near to where they were and laughed as he went down the stairs to the underground labyrinth under the house.

Todd was still unconscious from his last beating and Summer wanted to help him.

She had pulled at her chain, but hadn't been able to get her wrist free. She jumped as the door opened and Klaus walked in. she moved as far as she could as he walked over to her.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screamed and stopped as he backhanded her, he pushed her to the wall and started running his hand up and down the inside of her leg, grinning as she cried.

He reached over and unlocked the shackle. "Come with me," He leered and she pulled trying to get to Todd as a loud crash came from upstairs.

"NCIS!" Sam's voice called first, followed by a series of 'clears!'

Klaus put his hand over Summer's mouth, "You are coming with me," He whispered.

Her terrified eyes flicked to the prone form of her brother on the bed and she was yanked out of the room, He pulled her into a room further down the hall, he backed her into a wall and locked the door. "You are so much like your mother, I wonder if you scream in the same way," He said his hands grabbing for her clothes.

Shaking she started fighting him off.

Callen was the first to reach Todd, "Paramedic!" He called as he saw the boy lying on the bed; Eric ran in and checked his pulse.

"Todd!" Eric said scared his eyes narrowed in anger as he saw the bloody welts on the boy's back. "Sam take him to the paramedic!" Eric said with an inflection in his voice Sam hadn't heard before, which shocked him.

A door down the hall opened and Klaus walked out with his hands in the air.

"Erik…well, well little brother, you're too late, I had them both." He laughed and put his hands up.

"W...what do you mean," Eric asked his voice low and his gun trained on his brother.

"I beat your boy and I took your girl the same way I took her mother…mind you, so did a lot of other people," He laughed. "But if she is carrying anyone's child it will be mine and she will have to look at that child forever and know I did that to her."

Eric's hand on the gun shook.

"Eric, we need to bring him in, I know you want to but you can't kill him." Callen said keeping his voice low.

Eric looked at Callen and a grin spread on his face, "Kill him! He's my brother…I wouldn't want to kill him." He said

Klaus looked confused, then scared and then Eric raised his gun and fired three times.

Klaus screamed once. Really high pitched and it turned into a low moan. Callen stood there shoot as the paramedics rushed behind them.

"You….you….!" Callen said in shock as Eric got up and pushed past him,

"I shot him in the kneecaps and I shot his balls off, the rest is…" Eric shrugged, "Mostly… still there." Callen shook; he had never seen Eric so cold. "But Callen, he's not dead so you can still arrest him, but he won't be touching my children ever again."

He pushed by Callen and stopped his hand on the door where he thought Summer was. Carefully he opened the door and looked to see her curled in the corner her body in a ball and her hair covering her face. He walked up slowly and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"No!" she pulled away from him.

"Sum…" Eric said kneeling down.

"Daddy?" Summer said looking up. Her eyes filled with tears and she launched herself into his arms, "Daddy!" he held her tight stroking her hair and whispering to her until his sobs subsided.

He gently lifted her and carried her out to the hallway.

Klaus was gone, the paramedics had taken him and Eric turned to Callen, we need to get her to an ambulance. Callen nodded and cleared the way for Eric to carry his daughter through.

Kensi and Deeks were taken aback as they saw him carry her through to the ambulance.

Eric sat with her on the gurney as Summer wouldn't let go of him, he turned around and looked out the back where Callen was standing with Sam, "Where's Todd?"

The paramedic finished loading up, "The boy and the first man were taken off a few moments ago, they should get to the hospital a few minutes before us," He said with a reassuring smile.

Eric tensed and Summer whimpered.

He instinctively lowered his voice, but the anger and threat rolled off him in waves, "Do you mean to tell me you put my son and his torturer in the same ambulance together?" he asked.

"I….I…no one said, we just assumed that they were both victims….I mean the man was hurt much more than the boy…?"He said confused.

Eric looked incensed.

"Don't worry Eric, we'll call Nell and let the hospital know to separate them." Callen said as Sam went to fill her in.

Eric nodded and watched as they closed the doors.

In the first ambulance Todd was starting to come around. "Hey, there?" the paramedic said, "My names Toby. What's yours?" he asked.

"B…Boy?" Todd said.

"OK, so you're in an ambulance on the way to hospital you lie there, and you'll be well soon." Toby said smiling.

Todd closed his eyes for a second, then realized, if he was out he was in trouble, his breathing increased and his heart rate sped up.

"No no no no no no no!" Todd rambled.

"It's ok Kid. Just relax…" Toby went to get a sedative and Todd looked over to see Klaus lying on the other gurney in the ambulance.

Todd scrambled off the gurney and grabbed Klaus' hand, "Sir….Sir…I'm Sorry!" he sobbed holding his hand "Please wake up, don't leave me."

"Hey kid you need to get back on this bed." Toby said gently grasping the kid by the shoulders.

"NO!" Todd shook him off. "Please, Don't take him from me…" Todd shook in fear.

"OK listen kid. You get back on this bed and I promise you, you won't leave his side." Toby said concerned.

Todd calmed somewhat and lay back on the gurney, determined that he wouldn't leave his side, there was no way he was getting punished again.

Klaus's eyes opened and even through the waves of agony, he saw Todd kneeling beside him and holding his hand, "Please don't leave me," He heard his boy say. He smiled as another wave of pain pushed him back into unconsciousness.

Eric may have done this to him but he hadn't won. Klaus thought as his world went dark.
