"Guys come quick!" Nell sat cross legged on her bed with her laptop in front of her typing a mile a minute. Everyone rushed into her room all with worried looks on their faces.
"What is it Nell?" Kensi sat next to her looking at the scramble of letters and numbers that were displayed on the screen.
"Its Eric, this is him its out secret code and he is using it to send us a message." Everyone now surrounded Nell looking at the screen in confusion.
"What does it say?" Lily asked what was on everyone's mind, she knew Eric was a computer wiz but she never truly understood his lingo.
"It says we are in Danger that Brochani has us traced and that if Eric doesn't fix this he is going to attack the safe house ,"Nell said with a gasp.
"The note looks to be continuing Nell is it a live feed kind of letter?"
"Yes,"
"So can't you track his whereabouts?" Deeks looked at Nell anxiously.
"I think so!, Kensi go get your laptop!" Kensi disappeared for a minute but quickly returning out of breath handing Nell her Mac computer. Nell took out a long cable from her purse and connected the two laptops together on to track and the other to keep Eric's ongoing note up.
"I'm going to send him a note back to tell him that he needs to stay online until I can track him," she typed vigorously trying to keep Eric with her.
"Its tracking we have to wait now but the computer he is using is bouncing off of other routers not near him to throw us off."
"What does the letter sat Nell?" Sam asked her, he could tell that she had read something horrible. She cleared her throat trying to push the lump down.
"Dear Team and Family, This may be my final words and if so I need you to know a few things;
1. Dad, I know that I may have disappointed you when I chose a different career path than everyone else, but this line of work makes me happy. I love helping my country, and being able to save lives kind of makes me somewhat similar to you. Although we haven't spoken in a while know that I love you and no matter what, I am glad that you're my dad.
2. Mom, you are the most nurturing woman I have ever known, you have helped me through life letting me know that I could do or be anything. I love you so much, you are a wonderful woman and you brighten up everyone's day never lose that.
3. Deliah, you and I have really never seen eye to eye and I'm so sorry for the things said and done years ago over something so stupid about a career choice. I'm sorry that I missed your wedding, I know Mac makes you happy, Addie tells me about you two all the time. Know that you are an amazing big sister and I kick myself everyday for not apologizing , I love you.
4. Addie thank you for never giving up on talking to me, all the family updates and news about what's going on. I know you will be an amazing mother to that little boy or girl, hell you put up with a little brother like me that means you can concur anything, I love you Addison and I know that you will be okay.
5. Roger and Mac make sure you look after my sister's and never break their hearts. I know that you only want happiness for them like I do and I know that you will also care for my parents, thank you.
Now for my team, you will always be family to me, I love everyone of you. Deeks, surfing the waves with you was always a blast and especially with your sarcastic type humor, thanks for taking a chance with the Nerd of the group and creating a friendship that I cherish. Kensi, you are gorgeous and you are a kick ass agent, able to hold your own I admire that of you; Sam and Callen the best duo ever created you both could concur the world if you tried all while maintaining the friendship that you two share. Hetty when you chose me for the special ops you made my life and helped me gain not only friends but a family, thank you. " While this was read everyone cried even Sam and Callen, they nodded and agreed to everything and they wanted more but Nell stopped and placed a shaky hand over her mouth as tears streaked down her face.
"What is it!" Matthew asked.
"It says.. it says that he thinks that Brochani has caught him and that he has to go but for us to hid because they would be after us!" Nell left out the goodbye section to her the one that Eric had poured his heart and soul to her, telling her how much she made his day, his life and that he would never stop loving her.
"Everyone run and grab one outfit and meet in my room hurry!" They all split off into different directions scrambling and then returning to Hetty.
"What are we going to do, Eric said that this man was after us now!"
"I assure you Mrs. Beale we have plan."
"But what about Eric!" Addie asked tears fell down her face.
"I have got his location!" Nell said as they all hurried to the basement. it was empty and looked to any normal non agent as if Hetty had led the lamb to slaughter but soon Callen and Deeks moved a crate revealing a hidden tunnel, "Hurry in here!" they all moved into the tunnel and as Callen moved the crate back they were just in time hear men charge the house.

"You are going to regret this !" Brochani's face was beat red with pure hatred and anger, of course Eric was frightened as Brochani flipped over the table that the computer sat on. The man was a crazed maniac on a rampage.
"You know that I would never have helped you, I am no idiot either way you were going to kill me but if I could just tell my family goodbye then I'm okay with it." Brochani balled up his face and hauled off and hit Eric in the Jaw with an excessive amount of force. "Well now they die just like you I have men on the way." Eric gave a quick laugh at the man's ignorance,
"My team is probably so far gone that your men won't find them at all." He felt victorious like he had outsmarted his captor which to him meant that he could die in peace. Brochani's face grew even redder with anger as he thought of his plan being ruined, he yelled in anger causing Eric to jump a little.
"Do they know where we are!?" Brochani's voice was booming and it was an ugly tone; filled with hatred, anger and a bit of fear. Eric stood his ground though because now more than ever he felt the surge of courage seize his body, even though his fate was a grim one he was able to save the ones he loved. Brochani slapped Eric across the face creating a sickening crack that filled the air and screamed his question yet again. Eric stayed quiet and stared at the man with a poker face but Brochani knew his answer.

The words still fresh in her mind, stating what they both were to afraid to say. "Nell, Nell where is he?" Nell snapped back from her thoughts. "In a factory on Dillioyon street. it's been closed for years and with Eric's help I tracked him," Nell eyed Eric's family before taking Kensi's arm and pulled her aside, "You have to find him Kensi, he has been made and Brochani is going to kill him!" Kensi looked to Nell, he eyes were glossy as tears sat in the rims of them.
"We will find him, Callen, Sam, Deeks, and I are leaving once we reach our next safe house.
"Let me go please I need to be with him Kensi!"Nell pleaded but Kensi shook her head.
"We already have Eric in danger, we can't have you there too, I promise when we reach Eric I will call you Nell, you will be my first person." She hugged a crying Nell, Kensi knew the pain of losing a partner and she never wanted that to happen to Nell.
Nell sat beside Deliah who was silently crying away from her husband and family, "They will find him, our team is good like that," Nell tried to reassure her.
"I believe that but that's not why I'm crying," she wiped the tears from her face.
"The note?" The question was more of a statement, Nell knew that the goodbye had left everyone in a state of pure melancholy.
"God, I was so stupid, I was just a daddy's girl so I agreed with everything and I told Eric that he was going nowhere in life being a Technical support person; so many things were said that I regret and I mean he had said that I was clone and I told him he was worthless and it tore us apart and I knew that he felt ganged up on because my dad was on my side and so was my mom and at the time so was Addie." She looked to her older sister who stared at nothing but seemed so focused.
"Addie was smart though, she missed him he hasn't been home in four years, so she apologized and I was mad at her but she insisted that we stop being so self centered and pig headed and just apologize to him because he has missed so much, Me getting married, Addie's pregnancy, and every holiday. But she is right I am pig headed and I wanted to believe I was right, I love Eric and I do miss him." she wiped the tears from her eyes with her coat sleeve and looked to Nell.
"Eric knew you loved him, he talked about all off you all the time, especially how he was sad that he missed your wedding but that he was happy for you, and he never said anything bad about you he only doted about all of the family, it's how we get through the hard missions." she smiled as she remembered.
"He talked about you constantly too," Addie's voice surprised Deliah and Nell but it was there. She had snapped out of her trance and looked at Nell and smiled," He said he was in love with a girl at work, that she didn't know and that it would probably stay that way, but told him to tell her my guess is he just did." Nell nodded, the message her was filled with his emotions but all she could think of was, what if it was too late?

Brochani lifted a small paring knife in view of Eric, "I am going to be caught so why not go out with one more bang, you will die here tonight Mr. Beale but it will be slow and painful so be prepared." he walked to Eric who quivered. "This knife is special Mr. Beale, it is my most resourceful tool, I have always gotten my way with this knife." Fear displayed itself on Eric's face as he softly shook, was this it was this where he was going to die, all alone in this dark and muggy room alone and afraid?
"I think that you'll find that your friends have failed you this time, they will arrive much too late and the last memory of you that they will have is of your cold dead body!" A tear escaped from Eric's eye and slowly trailed its way down his face, it was hot and with it came a huge lump in this throat as he tried to stop himself from showing weakness.
"You are a hateful man, a man that knows no love and I feel sorry for you, and even if I die here tonight I know that I have experienced love and I will always be loved; you can't break me." he looked straight in the eyes of his assailant into his soul and if only for a second, Eric could have sworn he had seen a flick of fear in Brochani's eyes.
For a moment Brochani stood silent, focusing a glazed look in Eric's directions, not directly at him but as if he were looking past him as he thought of Eric's words but he quickly snapped back. He looked to Eric and he could see that any remorse that Brochani could have had had completely vacated him. Brochani leveled the knife at Eric's throat before he murmured, " You know nothing about me."
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
It was as if Brochani had been taken over by a mass murderer, someone who had the experience of torture for Eric had never before felt the pain that was being inflicted on him. First the knife was used, slicing shallow but painful cuts all over his body, blood trickled each wound and each felt like a paper cut magnified times a thousand. He occasionally got a cut that was too deep like the one in his abdomen; that one cut through the layer of skin fat and muscle causing blood to flow and flower out onto his navy blue shirt.
He wasn't going to lie to himself and say he was brave, though he tried and others would say he was, no he screamed in pain unable to hold them through gritted teeth. Brochani was ruthless he took the bat next and began to swing like a major league player hitting Eric in the chest arms and legs and stomach. "Please stop!" he cried, the wind knocked out of him more than once but Brochani ignored the pleads and brought back the bat and swung with great force connecting the bat to bone causing a sickening crack as Eric's leg broke. Tears flowed down Eric's face as he tried to break away from the rope that bond him the chair so that he could protect himself.
"How rude of me Eric," Brochani said with a wicked laugh tilting his head to the side and giving him the creepiest smile that curdle milk. "How about a different approach?" Brochani threw aside his bat and untied Eric and stepped back, "I'm gonna count to 20 see if you can hide this place is big but be warned men are guarding the exits, so let's see if you can buy some time." Eric cautiously stood but soon fell because of his leg but he soon hobbled over to the door before looking back at the wicked smile once more before he took off.
"Let the Games begin, one…"

208 Dillioyon street, it's an old factory that went out of business in 1998, in a bad part of town." Kensi said unsure of what they would find.
"I've seen that place before, there are hundreds of room's there how are we going to get Eric?" Sam asked in frustration.
"We have back up on the way but they are 20 minutes out we don't have that kind of time!" Deeks said eagerly.
"Here's the plan we go in each a different entrance, there are three and we will search, I have cans of spray paint, for every room you clear you spray an ex." Callen commanded.
"Callen this is a closed down abandoned factory, every inch of this place is probably covered in spray paint." Sam stated
"It's the only thing I've got make it work and make your mark distinctive!" they all nodded, the van grew silent as the nervously waited for the arrival to save their friend. Kensi thought back to Nell, she must be a nervous wreck trying to stay strong in front of Eric's family as she awaited news from the team, they had to find Eric alive!
"We are here, Kensi and Deeks take the north entrance, Sam the East and I'll take the South, any threat is to be taken down with necessary force, I know its Eric in there but treat this op as any other, keep your head in the game and let's get our Guy." Callen said just before they all jumped out of the van and took off to their positions.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
"Ericcccc" Brochani's voice echoed down the halls as Eric limped quickly down the halls of the eerie factory. He breathed heavily as he attempted to run but his leg shot that idea down, he needed to get the a window or something. "I'm coming for you Eric," he was close Eric could tell and this made his heart rate elevate, he felt his heart beat like it was trying to jump from his chest. He ran down a side hall slipping into a old bathroom, he hid in the shadows and watched Brochani walk by with a gun. Glass littered the floor, a good weapon that he could use later, he waited until the footstep's disappeared before he left the room. Then he heard them gunshots sounded and he knew he was going to be saved.
Eric snuck around zigzagging in and out or different rooms and down different halls to be safe in the direction of the gun fire. He was so nervous what if he was caught before he could reach his friends, he slipped through the door to the stair wall carefully closing it behind him and making his long descent down the stairs.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Deeks placed a bullet right in the middle of a man's forehead, the man who had his gun trained at Kensi, "Thanks!" she yelled to him as they ducked behind a overturned table, he popped off three more rounds hitting another man, she did the same and took down two. " How many friends does this delusional psychopath!" Deeks yelled over gun fire,
"Ten times more than you!" for some reason joking seemed to cut down on importance of the operation. Deeks gave her a playful glare before he popped from the table and shooting down more men, "Check those rooms, I'll cover you!" he yelled to her, she nodded and ran to the first room, clear she sprayed it same with the second and third, she made her way back to report her findings. "He's not there, my guess is that he has to be past the ones shooting at us."
"We got about four guys left I'll take baldy and unibrow, you take killer and albino over there." the let off their rounds missing death by mere inches." Clear" they stood up and took the guns off of the dead men and continued their journey through the endless rooms. They most have already marked 70 rooms by now and with each one they became worried that maybe they wouldn't find him in time but they moved on and only fought to find the positive.
"These rooms are clear too, let's move to the west wing and try to meet up with Sam and Callen to hit the next level." Deeks said to Kensi but they wouldn't have to because across the room he stood.
"Eric?!" Kensi asked in a hopeful voice, he stood by the door leading to the stairs his face looks so full of relief and joy as he saw his friends. Tears ran down his face hobbled towards his friends but Brochani had caught up, "Eric look out!"Deeks yelled but he was to late the bullet had already left its chamber and hit its target.
