As soon as Jen stopped struggling Callen let her go.
"What the hell happened, how did Brandel make it in here?" Callen said stunned.
There was silence and suddenly a quiet knocking could be heard coming from ops.
Kensi, Sam and Callen ran up the stairs followed by Jen and Hetty.
Kensi made it to the room first and discovered the doors were locked.
"ERIC! NELL!" She called knocking.
"WE'RE IN HERE; THERE WAS A VIRUS AND A FIREWALL ATTACK THE OPS IS ON LOCKDOWN WE CAN'T GET OUT!" Nell yelled.
Inside OPS it was stifling, Just before the attack on the mission Eric had noticed multiple Trojan attacks on the NCIS firewalls, a virus had been introduced and the wonder twins had been trying to fend off the cyber attack that they missed a small virus that made its way through, Even though Eric had tried to go dark the virus prevented it, he had managed to take the system offline so no information was being leaked from the mainframe, but the air conditioning was now off and the computers were still running at twice the speed and worse the room was in lockdown, the blinds were shut and the doors deadlocked, the room was practically soundproof and Eric and Nell were trapped and suffocating in the heat.
Callen tried the door and Sam tried kicking the door down, "That won't help Mr. Hanna," Hetty informed them, "the place is virtually impregnable. It is designed to withstand a nuclear attack."
"But with no air conditioning?"
"It will be somewhat uncomfortable; I have sent for some cutting gear, we should be in within the hour." Hetty said.
"What about Martin?" Jen asked.
Kensi turned to Hetty, "Without Eric and Nell, we're blind. We won't be able to track him." She said her face distraught.
"It is true we will be a bit behind, But I am confident that we will find Mr. Deeks." Hetty said her voice calm despite the turmoil she herself was feeling.
Sam started kicking at one of the panels again, "Mr. Hanna?" Hetty admonished.
"Wait!" Sam said as one of the panels came loose. He walked away and returned with four bottles of water and passed them through the hole.
"Thanks Sam," Eric said
He and Nell were as close to the hole as they could get relishing in the cool air coming through that gap. "Is everyone ok out there?" Nell asked.
"No." Jen snapped, "Martin was kidnapped by Brandel."
Inside the room Nell looked at Eric in shock, "Hetty, we had a massive cyber attack here, multiple Trojans and a virus that has locked us in, the system is offline but we can't shut the computers down they are running at double speed and there is no air con, it has to be linked there is no way this was a random Hack," Nell said.
"Wow, we're frelting in here!" Eric said.
"It will be about an hour before your out." Hetty told the analysts.
"It's ok, Can you contact D.C. Their MTAC may be able to find Deeks and give you some clues, we're going to be blind in here for a while, do you have phones?" Eric asked.
"Cell service only." Callen replied,
"I'll make the call." Hetty said
"Jen, Can you stay with them, We'll go with Hetty and head out after Deeks as soon as we get something from MTAC, but Nell and Eric may need you to get them stuff while they are stuck in here," Callen asked her.
