Chapter 2:

Callen and Sam drove over to Maksim Yashkin's garage and got out of the car. "Wait I know this garage." Sam said.

"How do you know this place?"

"I used to bring my wife's car here. This guy does amazing work."

When they walked into the garage, they saw a pair of legs sticking out from underneath a blue sedan. Sam kicked the guys foot lightly causing the man to roll out from under the car.

"Can I help you?" Maksim asked while cleaning his hands of oil. He got up and looked at them. "Hey, I remember you. I did the work on the black mercedes. Brake problems, right?"

"That's right." Sam said with a smile.

"Don't tell me that they're acting up again."

"No. My friend and I are actually here for another reason."

"Oh yeah. What is it?"

"Do you know this girl?" Callen said showing the picture of Galena on his phone.

"Why do you have a picture of Galena?" He said angrily.

Both of them took out their badges and showed them to the mechanic. "NCIS. I thought that had to do with the Navy. What does Galena have to do with the Navy? I'll tell you what nothing. Besides she does not belong to your organization. So why are you asking about her?"

"Technically your sister's case does fall into NCIS jurisdication because one of your brother's is a SEAL and the other is a marine. We were asked to help with this investigation due to some really extenuating circumstances." Sam said.

"That doesn't answer my question."

"Your sister was kidnapped from her apartment late last night."

"What? Why aren't you out there looking for her?"

"We are but first we need to ask you some questions. Did your sister contact you after she came back into the country from her business trip?"

"You can say assignment. I know that my sister works for ICE. And I haven't talked to her since before she went to Romania."

"Romania? That was over six months ago. You're telling me you haven't talked to your sister in over six months?" Callen asked.

"Look my sister and I are not close. That is no secret but considering what she does, it was only a matter of time that something like this happened."

"Why would you say that?"

"Because she knew what she was getting herself into when she joined ICE. She put herself in that position."

"You don't seem all that concerned that your sister has gone missing." It wasn't a question on Callen's part, but a statement.

"Look. It's not secret that my sister and I have a difficult relationship but I would never want anything to happen to her. And with all due respect, but you don't know my sister. Trust me when I say that she can handle herself. Are we done?"

"Almost. Has your sister talked to you about her work?" Sam inquired.

"Like I said, we're not that close. If she were to tell anyone it would be Anna."

"And one final thing. Has your sister talked to your wife or kids?" Callen asked.

"Not that I'm aware of. Why?"

"Well we would like to question them."

"Absolutely not. My wife is pregnant and doesn't need the stress. Now get out of my shop."

Callen and Sam walked out of the garage and Callen said, "I don't care how he feels, we are questioning his wife. What kind of brother is that anyways? How can he not care what happens to his sister?"

"Maybe this is just his way of dealing with the grief, G. We don't it now their situation and we don't know how they were raised so just let it go."

"Let it go? How can you say that, Sam. If you found out that your sister was missing what would you do?"

"I'd pound pavement and knock down doors until I found her."

"Exactly. So what can cause so much hatred between tow siblings?"

"A parent."

"Why would you say that?"

"Well parents can pick favorites, pit their kids against each other, causing unnecassary tension between the kids. It's not uncommon, G. Just consider yourself lucky that you were never in that situation."

"That just sucks though."

"Yeah. But what I want to know is her connection to Hetty. Are you sure that you have absolutely no idea, G?"

"I'm telling you, Sam, I don't know how Hetty knows her."

"Well don't get so defensive, G. Now what are you doing?"

"I'm calling Nell to get Maksim Yashkin's address. We're talking to his wife next."

They drove over to Marina del Rey and saw two kids and a woman playing together in the front lawn. "Lucy Yashkin?" Callen asked.

"Yes?"

"I'm Agent Callen. This is Agent 're NCIS and we're investigating the disappearance of your sister-in-law, Galena."

"Lena? Is she alright?"

"She was abducted from her apartment early this morning." Sam said.

"Are you going to find her?"

"We will do everything in our power to find her." Sam said.

"O.k. Thank you."

"You seem more concerned about her than your husband does." Callen said.

"Well Maksim and Lena have a complicated relationship. I've tried to mend the damage between them but it didn't end well and it almost ended my marriage. Now I just try to stay out of it. I hope they can mend they're relationship."

"Agent Torres told us that her siblings blamed her for their mother's death. What happened?"

"After Maksim was born, they're mother became very sick. The doctors told her that if Lena, they told her to get rid of the baby but she refused. About a week after, Lena's birth, their mother died so her siblings blamed her. But she never gave up on her siblings. She would still do anything for them. She's a good person and an even better agent. Please find her."

"We will, ma'am. Thank you for time." Sam said.

They got into the car and drove to Anna's.
