Task Force

Finding Deeks and Rountree

Back at the station, Tori was doing paperwork on the raid when Jade came into Tori's office and said, "Anything on Deeks and Rountree yet?" Tori said, "Nothing yet and what about the interrogations? Any Results?" Jade said, "All of the crooked officers are claiming that they don't know what happened to them and I didn't see them or hear why they weren't there. I don't know what happened with Parker, Craig, or Jones. I am starting to wonder if those assholes are holding them hostages," 

Tori said, "I'm not going to doubt you after last time," Jade said, "Let me guess when I said that Robbie was Cat's killer?"  Tori said, "Yes," Jade said, "In fairness, I was only right after the evidence pointed to Robbie and when my ex-partner interrogated him to confess. It's a shame he's crooked. I've never expected that from him and I thought I read people pretty well," Tori said, "Same thing here," Jade said, "Also, I got to ask. What really happened with Ryder the second time? The Truth this time Vega," Tori said, "The Badge was a reason it didn't work out but there were others including his schedule as well and he started to fall for his co-star on the show. I could see the chemistry between the two of them. When she broke up with her boyfriend, I knew he was going to make a play for her and I broke up with him and let him have her and the last I recalled they're still together. Also, I heard he left acting to team up with Aaron Rodgers in a few businesses," 

Jade said, "Did you love him?" Tori said, "Not really, If I really wanted to I would have fought for him but I chose not to. He seemed like he was a different guy but I just couldn't go over what he did in high school. Granted, I didn't check his phone the second go-around but I couldn't shake it off. Too bad my instincts failed me with the next guy I dated," Jade said, "The guy who attacked you?" Tori said, "Yeah," 

Jade said, "Hey, we don't get it right all the time. We just got to shake it off and/or see a therapist, learn from our mistakes, and move around," Tori said, "I know it still hurts even to this day," Jade said, "Hey, we have our own horror stories of bad romances," Tori said, "Even you?" Jade said, "I might have had a bad experience or several," Kate came in and said, "We got bad news," 

Tori said, "What is it?" Kate said, "Parker and Craig have Deeks and Rountree and they also have another guy with them," Tori said, "Whose the other guy?" Jade said, "Tori, have you contacted Andre today?" Tori said, "No, WHY?" and Jade grabbed her phone, picked a photo of her with Andre, gave Kate her phone, and asked, "Is this the other guy with Deeks and Rountree?" 

Kate looked at the picture and said, "Yes, sadly it is," Tori said, "OH NO!!!" Jade said, "I'm going to kill Sean," Tori said, "I want Andre, Rountree, and Deeks rescued but I am not going to have you ruined your career/life over this," Jade said, "I can care less about my career, I was planning to quit after this and if anything happens to Andre I don't care about if I serve life. Why aren't you as pissed off as me Vega? That's your boyfriend," 

Tori said, "I'm pissed too however we got to this the right way otherwise Andre, Deeks, and Rountree will be killed," and then she went to Kate said, "Let me guess, in exchange for three guys they want Napoleon," Kate said, "Correct and we will find a way to rescue them without giving them Napoleon," Jade said, "Did they get a timetable?" Kate said, "Not yet though he would call back," Tori said, "We're not giving them Napoleon, are we?" Admiral Kilbride said, "HELL NO!!! Besides there's no guarantee that they would get us those three back if we give them Napoleon. I'd rather not make the call,"  Tori said, "Do you know where they might be Jade?" Jade said, "I think I do," as she left Tori's office and went to the intel room and wrote something down and gave it to Fatima and told her to find this location. Fatima said, "Will do," and they found the location in question.

Jane said, "What is that?" Jade said, "That's the building the we used to train for LASD, it closed down or so we thought," Tori said, "Looks like it's still in use," Kate said, "How do you know?" Jade said, "I figured Sean would go to a familiar location, luckily I know this location as well,"  Tori said, "I know that location as well, LAPD also trained there but Led on Lieutenant,"  as they get their gear and prepare for another raid.

They arrived at the former LASD practice training exercise. Callen said, "Are you guys?" Jane said, "We're all set," Kate said, "Any calls from Parker, Fatima," Fatima from the office, "Nothing yet," Callen said, "Let's go," The group headed slowly to bust the crooked cops and rescue the three guys. They encountered resistance when the crooked officers opened fire but they were neutralized. 

In the room where Jones, Craig, and Parker were holding Deeks, Rountree, and Andre. Jones said, "I knew it was a bad idea to take hostages, we could have continued with our Taxi Service without this but you had to kidnap people huh Parker? Craig arrest Parker," As Craig was about to arrest Parker when Parker dismantled Craig and Parker shot and killed Jones and later Craig and told other corrupt officers there that he was in charge now and ordered them to fight and defeat the Task Force. 

As they kept advancing Tori saw someone aiming at Jade and pushed her out of the way and took a bullet at her right side for Jade who tended to Tori however there were two guys about to shoot Jade but Tori who despite being wounded shot and killed the guys and holstered her weapon. Jade said, "A warning would have been nice, Vega," Tori said, "You're welcome," Kate went over to them and told Jade, "Don't worry I got her, go," Jade said, "Stay with us, Vega," and continued with the firefight. Ultimately, there was one room to go and in that room was Parker, Deeks, Rountree, and Andre and the team halted

Parker said, "One more step and the three of them are going to the afterlife," Jade said, "What happened Parker? you were a good cop," Parker said, "Ask your NCIS buddies and if they know a Brian Parker. He was a good Marine, but sadly he was an addict and instead of being sent to rehab, he was dishonorably discharged and he later died of an overdose because the Marine abandoned him.  He needed help not to be abandoned, I'm going to make those agents and their pal paid for what they did to my brother,"     

As soon as he said that Jade went into the room, rolled around a few times, got up, and fired about five times killing her ex-partner and saving the three guys. The room was secured and the team entered the room. Sam said, "Looks like someone saw the Siege one too many times," Callen said, "A good thing since we got our guys back," Deeks said, "What took you so long?" Kensi said, "Very funny honey," as she kissed her husband. Sam said, "What happened to you guys?" Rountree said, "Deeks and I were driving and got a text from Andre to come over to the studio for an emergency," Callen said, "Let me guess, there was no emergency," Deeks said, "Nope, we were ambushed and Andre was held at gunpoint and later other guys pointed guns at us,"  Andre said, "I was opening the studio and I was surprised by these officers, also they set fire to my studio," 

Jade said, "Sorry to hear that," Andre said, "It sucks but we do have a backup system for the recording and the other stuff can be replaced, where's Tori is she?" Jane said, "She's wounded and was taken to the hospital and looks like you guys to go the hospital," They said they were fine but Callen ordered them to be checked and the decided to go as long it was the same hospital as Tori which they did.
