Unexpected Connection

Callen woke up first the next morning and saw Nell was curled into his torso with her hand over his chest and smiled. He was happy, happy she was here for him to wake up to. He smiled as he moved his arm from around Nell he felt her start to stir snuggling further into him.

"Mmmmm morning" she said as ran her hand over his torso

"Morning" he smiled as he lent in to kiss her.

"How are you doing?" He asked

"Well I was better last night." She said with a cheeky smile as she looked at Callen.

"Well... I'm sure we can work something out." He said with a smile as he kissed her and ran his hands down her body.

"As great as that would be, we are gonna be late" she said and smiled as she kissed him.

"I'm okay with that." Said Callen

"Haha I'll bet, but you can imagine the rumours if we both turn up late or not at all true."

Callen sighed. "I hate it when you're right.' He said as he kissed her as he moved off to the side of the bed and started getting dressed.

Nell smiled as they walked to the front door. Callen turned to face Nell. Last night was incredible, you are incredible. Nell smiled as Callen pulled her into him and kissed her.

"I've got to go home, change, can't come in yesterdays clothes the rumour mill would start churning."

"Yes it would" Said Nell with a smile

"Are you trying to tempt me into this or out of this Nell?"

" Neither" she said with a smile as Callen's hands wrapped around her waist.

"Hmmm, I better get going. I'll see you in OPS" he said as he kissed Nell and made his way down to his car and headed back to his place.

Nell showered grabbed coffee in a go cup and left her house 20 minutes later headed towards the office when her car was rammed Nell was forced forward and hit her head on the steering wheel causing her to pass out.

One of the men from the car who hit Nell got out and walked over to her. "This the one who shot my brother. Bring her to the car." He said as another man pulled Nell from the wreck and put her in the trunk of their car and drove off."

Cut to the Office

Callen walked in to find Sam, Deeks and Kensi already at their desks.

"Morning." They both said.

"Kensi, Sam, Deeks Morning."

"You look happy G" Said Sam

"I am Sam, I had a good workout this morning. I'm feeling good."

"You plan on sticking with this workout for a while G?"

"I think I am Sam." He said as he spoke in innuendo with Sam.

Deeks looked at Kensi. "You get the feeling we're missing something here Kens."

But her response was interrupted by Eric. "We need you up in OPS now, it's Nell."

Callen's expression changed as he led the charge up the stairs into OPS with Sam, Deeks and Kensi coming in straight after him.

"LAPD responded to a traffic accident this morning, when they ran the plates from the car and identified Ms Jones classified status they called me. Play the tape Mr Beale" Said Hetty

The team watched as they saw Nell's car being rammed by an unknown vehicle and watched as 2 men approached the car and kidnapped Nell.

It took all of Callen's strength not explode. "Eric what do we have on the other car and the 2 other men in the video."

"We are running facial recognition on the 2 men from the video, no matches yet. The vehicle I've had better luck on. It was a rental car. Address for the rental company is on your phones.

"Mr Deeks, Ms Blye, rental company"

"Mr Hanna and Mr Callen, crime scene, but first Mr Callen my office."

"I know what is going on between you and Ms Jones Mr Callen."

"Hetty I.."

"Hush Mr Callen I am not objecting to it as long as it does not impact on your ability to do your jobs. Now find Ms Jones and bring her home."

Callen nodded and joined Sam."

Callen and Sam headed to the crime scene. The ride over was in almost silence until Sam couldn't take it anymore.

"We'll find her G. I promise."

"I'll feel better when she's back safe Sam. I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to her. I've let her down."

"No you haven't. I need your head in the case G. Nell needs your head in the case. She needs you, needs us to find her."

"Yeah"

Shortly after they arrive at the crime scene and find out from LAPD what they have so far which unfortunately wasn't much. Blood stains, drag marks, nothing that could lead them anywhere.

Callen's phone rang. "Yeah Eric please tell me you've got an ID on the kidnappers.

"I do Callen, it's not good."

"Define not good Eric. One of the kidnappers is Jakob Draeger, he is the brother of Matthias and Josef Draeger, the man that Nell shot at the house.

"Find him Eric now." Said Callen as he hung up the phone.

"What's going on" Said Sam

"That was Eric he got an ID on one of the kidnappers. His name is Jakob Draeger, he is the brother of Josef Draeger, the man that Nell shot. He's also the brother of Matthias Draeger."

Sam exhaled. "We need to find her now."

"I know Eric's already on it.

Meanwhile Nell awoke to find herself handcuffed to a chair, with a man standing in front of her.

"Do you know who I am?" he asked

"No" she said

"My name is Jakob Draeger I am the brother of Josef Draeger, the man that you shot and killed.

Nell trying to mentally prepare herself of what was coming next and praying that the team would find her soon
