Callen and Sam quietly opened the small steel door and crept down the hallway, handguns in hand.

"Okay Eric where to?" Asked Callen as Sam and him approached a cross way.

"Go straight up the stairs," Eric instructed watching the agents move on the big screen.

"Callen, you have two patrolling the halway ahead of you," Nell warned.

"Got it," Callen whispered as one of the two men came into view. Noticing the agents he quickly went for his gun.

"Drop it," Sam warned.

Ignoring the order, and revealing the second man both drew their weapons. Before either could shoot however, the skilled agents took them out.

"Two down Eric," mumbled Sam as he slid the guns away from the two bodies.

"You have alerted them, they are all movies quickly towards you." Eric said. "Take this right."

Callen and Sam quickly made there way down the concrete hallway. "One coming up behind you." Nell said trying not to panic.

Sam quickly turned and shot the armed man twice in the chest. He dropped instantly as the two continued down the hallway.

"At least ten more to go." Mumbled Callen.

"Pass the next three turnoffs." Instructed Eric.

When the agents approached the third crossing, Nell said, "Two to your left."

Callen shot this time, but not before the two men could get off a few themselves. "You hit?" Callen asked.

"No," Sam whispered.

"Looks like one person went into the dark area and came out with... One additional person." Nell shook watching the glowing dots on the monitor.

"Go up the stairs two levels," Eric said. "Your almost there."

Callen and Sam climbed the stairs quickly, hoping that they could retrieve their partners in time.

"The rest dropped off the map," Nell whispered confused. "There were three trailing you guys, pretty far back, but they are gone."

"Room Eric," Sam growled.

"Go down the hallway then take the first right door." Eric said.

"Here," Callen said. "It's locked,"

Callen and Sam stood back from the doors Callen aimed and shot off the lock in a panic.

"Kensi, Deeks!" Called Callen as they pried open the door.

There on the other side was a dark room lit by a single lightbulb. In the far corner was a dirty mattress. There was also a fresh blood smear on the far wall and a good sized puddle and hand prints.

"They were here," Sam growled angrily. "And we missed them. They took them somewhere else." Sam punched the air entering the room further.

"Kensi left something, check everywhere." Callen instructed. "Eric look for traffic cameras around. Find them."

"Here," Sam said lifting the mattress. Only a note sat underneath. He used a latex glove and picked up the note and handed it to his partner.

"To whoever finds this. It's too late for me. There is no way out. I'm slowly dying, the only thing keeping me alive is the slight hope that I will see my kids again. I don't want my unborn child to have a fatherless life. For none of my kids."

"I kept this cell phone with me and hid it here. I have no use for it since there is no signal. I know they will do this again. I hear them coming. This is it. Good luck my friend. John Kally" Callen read aloud.

"There was a phone." Whispered Sam.

"They had to have taken it." Callen whispered. "Hope that wherever they're going to has signal."

"Eric, did you find them yet?" Sam growled.

"Maybe," Eric sighed.

"You guys better get back here, we have agents heading there now to take over. We found something." Nell cut in holding her iPad.

"On our way." Callen said.
