Getting Drago

Callen's pov:
After Tony had briefed us on what that asshole had done to El, I swear I was only seconds away to hunt him down. But not to get back into prison, no, to kill him and it won't be an easy death! Not looking at the others I stand up and went back into the interrogation room. Gibbs was still holding El close. It only took him one look to see the turmoil swimming in my eyes. He opens his left arm and I went right into it. I normally don't do hugs, just like Gibbs but right now I need it. Feeling a small hand sneak around me also I stiffen but relax right again. After my first try in hugging her was such a fiasco, I would of never thought that she would include me in the hug also. Smiling softly over at her, I see how relaxed she looks now. She looks absolutely at peace a total different expression than earlier today. Gibbs and her have a really close bond, even a blind person could see that. Hearing a soft knock on the door, I open it a bit. Tony stands there, telling us that it's time to go to the restaurant to see if Drago was there. I nod my head and turn questioning to Gibbs, not knowing how we are going to do this. Somebody definitely has to stay with El, I normally would happily be the one, but on the other hand I really want to be the one to get that asshole! Gibbs also looks not really sure what to do until El slightly shoves him to the door. She looks scared but tries to hide it.
„Somebody needs to stay with you El, to keep you safe and also to put our minds at ease." I tell her softly.
„Would it be alright if Tony stays with you, maybe even Hetty?" Gibbs asks her quietly. El slightly stiffens but relaxes shortly after again.
„Can I meet Hetty before I decide?" she whispers hesitantly. Gibbs doesn't answer, instead he called for Hetty to come over to us.
„Gibbs, how may I help you?" she asks interested.
„I would like for you and Tony to keep an eye on El while we go out to find Drago." he answers looking between Hetty and El.
„Of course! I'm sure we are going to keep Ms. Gibbs not only safe but some company till you and the team are coming back!" she answers smiling slightly at Gibbs and El. We all look at El to see her reaction on Hetty. She doesn't react really, it's like she is weighing everything up in her head. After a minute she nods once at Gibbs, signaling him that it was alright. He pulled her once again into a tight hug and whispers something into her ear. Taking a gun out of his holster, handing it to her.
„Better safe than sorry!" he tells her.
„And you make sure to come back to me." she says tearful.
„Promise!" he answers and kisses her forehead before heading out, taking Tony to the side. I'm pretty sure to give him strict instructions how to act around El and to never leave her side. So basically the same ones as he had given me over the phone hours ago.
„A minute, please." i ask towards Hetty. She smiles before leaving El and I alone.
„Do me a favor?" I ask her, looking her into the eyes. She nods to tell me to go on.
„Stay safe while we are gone, ok? I just can leave if I don't know that you stay safe." I tell her quietly.
„I will do my best to be safe, even though I am sure with Hetty and Tony around, there won't be a reason for you or dad to worry." she answers with a bright smile before her face gets serious again.
„Just make sure you and dad come back unharmed. I don't want to lose any more people than I already have!" she says with slightly teary eyes.
„It's ok, you won't lose anyone. We are all going to come back safe and sound!" I promise her soothingly. Opening my arms to let her decide if she wants a hug or not. Not having to wait long before I have my arms tightly around her. When Gibbs comes back over to us, he has a soft smile on his lips. He kisses her head again and tells her that we have to head out now. Tony and Hetty are sitting on the table in the middle of the boatshed and just as we leave, El makes her way over to them.

The car ride to Drago's restaurant was quiet, which was good since I need to decide if I should or shouldn't take that asshole down or only arrest him. When we stop infront of the restaurant I still haven't decided what to do.
We all pack up our weapons and once again discuss the plan before we head in. Gibbs and I went in and went left while Sam, Ellie and Tim went right, Kensi and Deeks stand on the back so no one could run off.
Just when I think the building is empty we hear a sound around the corner. Storming in with a quick „federal agents freeze!" gets their attention.
„Well, well, well! Look who came to my lousy establishment!" Drago says with a sly smirk.
„Just to drag you back to prison!" Gibbs sneers.
„Oh! I thought you came to bring back my property! You stole her after all!" Drago sneers right back at him. Seeing him pull out a gun, I spring to action.
„Don't even think about it Drago!" i shout, not taking my eyes off of him.
„What? You think I let you drag me back without having at least another taste of that worthless little shit?" he asks cruelly.
„You better fucking stop talking like that about my daughter!! She isn't a property and she is everything but a little shit!!! The worthless thing is you!! You are just a disgusting!!" Gibbs yelled out angrily! His face bright red from anger. When Drago starts to lift his gun with a big smirk on his face, Gibbs and I shoot him. He falls to the floor dead before he can shoot us. Sighing, happy that he was gone now. I know, I shouldn't feel like that but how couldn't I? Alone for what he said about El, disgusted me! Seeing Sam standing on the other side of the room, gun also pointed at Drago. Looking at him with a questioning look.
„What? Did you really think i let him get away with what he did and what he said?" he asks us innocently. Gibbs and I look at him for a second longer before laughing out loud. Shaking my head at my partner. I know I love him for a reason!

When we came back to the boatshed it was empty. Frowning at the fact I went to see if they left a note or something. Gibbs on the other hand wasn't so patient and pulls out his phone to call Tony.
„Where the hell are you!?" he shouts into his phone as soon as he answers.
„I told you to keep her safe and you take her to get some pizza!? Are you fucking serious right now!?" he asks him incredulous.
„When are you going to be back?" he asks angrily. I'm happy it isn't me on the receiving end right now. Just as he asked that, their car pulls up outside. He ends the call and marches out towards them. I hurriedly ran after him to keep him from hitting Tony infront of El and everyone else. He throws open the driver door and pulls Tony out. Grabbing his shoulder and pin him to the car before he does something he definitely is going to regret.
„Relax Gibbs! Now is not the time nor the place. You are going to scare El! Do you really want that?" I whisper shout into his ear. At the end he lets his face fall onto my shoulder and I feel him relax. Slowly pulling away from him after a minute. He thanks me quietly and goes to El, pulling her into a hug. Not wanting anyone to interrupt their family time, I wave everyone into the boatshed to keep them some privacy. Seeing Tony standing of to the side with a devastated look, I went over to him.
„Don't take it to heart Tony. He overreacted out there. Gibbs trusts you, otherwise he would of never let you stay with El to keep her safe. Don't worry, i'm sure he will talk to you about it to apologize." I tell him softly, not wanting him to worry to much about it. As if Gibbs heard me, he walks in with El and right up to us.
„Tony, i'm sorry for shouting at you. I know you would of never let anything happen to El, I was just worried when we got back and you guys were no where to be found." he apologizes sincerely.
„It's fine boss, I should of called you to tell you of our plan to get something to eat. I'm sorry." tony answers quietly, turning red with all the attention on him. Gibbs pulls him into a hug and apologizes again for getting this angry at him.

After that eventful day comes to an end, I drove Gibbs and his team including El to their hotel. We already made plans to meet up tomorrow morning for breakfast. So after dropping them off I went home to get an early night.
