Just the Way you Are

Captivity

Note: This is the 2 parter I wrote for my BTH Bingo collection. Enjoy!

'You sure you want to go out there? I thought you had a cough.' Granger said, concerned.

'I'm fine, I took some medicine and I'm feeling better. And I won't be alone, I'll have 2 other guys with me!' Hetty replied.

'Well, if you're sure. Be careful.'

Later that day

'How's it going, Beale?' Granger asked.

'So far, so good.' Eric replied.

But then

'Uh, oh my! Hetty? Hetty you okay?!'

'What's wrong?' Granger asked.

'I heard a lot of noise over the comms, And now the comms are dead! I think she was taken.'

Frantic, Granger, Callen, and Sam went down to the area where the comms went down.

'They must have been over powered.' Sam said.

'Question is, where did they take them?' Callen asked.

'Start looking, we need to find them quickly.' Granger said.

Later, in an undisclosed location

Hetty and the other 2 agents were put in separate rooms, and the thugs who took them were wondering what to do with them.

'I think we should let her go, she's not going to talk and she's clearly sick. She kept coughing when we were talking.' Thug 2 said.

'Well I punched her in the ribs a couple times so that's probably why. Besides, the agents are either NCIS or FBI, so she's 1 of them.' Thug 1 replied.

'I say let's get the tools, that'll get them talking!' Thug 3 said.

'And if we accidentally kill her? There'll be a bounty on our heads! Can't we just give her cough medicine and let her rest?' Thug 2 asked.

'Fine. You go talk to her. But if you don't get anything out of her, we're coming in, and we won't be so nice.' Thug 3 said in reply.

Thug 2 offered Hetty some medicine.

'You're clearly sick, so this might help.'

'Why do you care? You're just going to kill me eventually, why do you (cough) care if I still have a cough?' Hetty asked.

'Because I'm not like the other 2. And if you don't tell me what I need to know, then my other 2 partners are going to intervene, and they're not as merciful as me.'

'Then you might as well shoot me now. Because I'm not going to break. (Cough).'

'Fine. If that's how you want it, I hope you can survive their brutal interrogating techniques.'

Then he left.

'Oh where the hell are you, Owen?' Hetty thought to herself.

Then she heard shooting and someone calling her name.

'Hetty? You okay, sweetie?' Granger asked.

'Took you long enough. (cough)' Hetty replied.

'You hurt badly?'

'Ribs hurt, and my cough has returned.'

'Okay, we'll get you looked at at the hospital, and we'll go from there.' Granger said.

'Mmm. (sniffle).'

Giving her a hug, 'Hey. Shh. It's okay. Everything's going to be okay.'
