After seeing the season finalies of both NCIS and NCIS LA I nearly freaked out twice in one night. So my brain started working and sorting out what the events were as they unfolded after the screen went blank.

So here it is.

Chapter 1

Hetty was sick to her stomach as she watched the flat screen tv in the main area of the mission. All around her it was quiet as stunned NCIS employees just stared in disbelief as one of their own, Agent G Callen was led in cuffs and placed into an LAPD cruiser. In the past 24 hours, things had gone from bad to worse and then to a nightmare. Her whole world was crashing around her. She had lost two good agents and a third was facing murder charges. She was still asking herself, how could this all happen. When she couldn't stand looking at the screen anymore, she returned to her office and began cleaning it out of her personal belongings the "resignation" letter on top of the desk with Granger's name on it. She also made a mental note to find a good defense lawyer for Callen.

Hetty lost track of time as she finally had hr things in order and was ready to leave when her desk phone rang. She thought about not answering it but changed her mind when she saw the number on the caller ID. She was hoping that things were fine in DC. She knew about the search for Harper Dearing since all NCIS offices and agents worldwide had been put on alert two weeks ago and all naval vessels were being inspected and searched at sea and port. Picking up the phone she listened to the caller on the other end and her world just took another major turn. Hanging up she made her way over to the bull pen area and barked "Put that thing on ZNN!" and then continued. "Have everyone gather in the bull pen at once." Hetty listened as people began scrambling to obey her orders. One of the OSP techs who had been downstairs was seen running up the stairs to OPS to get Granger and anyone else who was up there.

The scene unfolding on ZNN was horrific as smoke was seen billowing from the Navy Yard in DC. It looked like chaos as first responders, military personnel, federal agents from other agencies and the like were rushing to the scene. Hetty heard a gasp and turned not realizing that Nell Jones was already there along with Eric Beale and Owen Granger. She quickly turned to Nell. "Miss Jones, call Sam and tell him to get himself along with Ms. Blye back here ASAP." Turning to Eric. "Mr. Beale, isuue an alrert to all our people and tell them to come in if they aren't already here." Eric quickly pulled out his pad and phone and got to work. Granger was on his cell to the San Diego office issuing the same orders and ordering the lockdown of Naval bases all over the world.

The place turned into chaos as everyone sprung into action as phone calls were being made and orders issued.

In her office, Hetty and Owen were talking since they were the two top ranking people in NCIS at the moment. "Any word on Vance?" Granger was asking.

"No, I spoke to Agent Balboa, he says it is chaos over there. They still have people unaccounted for. Including Director Vance."

"I just heard from SecNav, he's furious,"

"Understandably so,"

"He also informed me that Justice, FBI, Secret Service and ATF have called to offer their support and assistance."

Hetty nodded. "How in the world did Dearing get a bomb onto the Navy Yard?"

"That's the million dollar question."

-NCISLA-

"I don't care, Sam. Hetty wants you and Kensi back here now. The Navy Yard in DC has been bombed and headquarters was hit."

"Your not serious" came the reply on the other end.

"I am it's on ZNN and we've got reports of numerous fatalities and people unaccounted for and Director Vance is among them." Nell winced as Sam let out a string of curses. Sam was the last person she would have expected to let loose on expletives' but she could blame him one bit.

After a moment Sam composed himself and then said, "Okay Kensi and I will be there as soon as possible. We'll have Deeks stay with Callen until he's booked in and placed in segregated pop."

"Okay but hurry."

"We'll be there as soon as we can."

Nell hung up and took a deep breath. She couldn't believe this was happening. She knew some of the agents and intel people at headquarters and was hoping they were alright. She headed off to tell Hetty.

As Sam hung up the phone, Kensi and Deeks could tell something was wrong. It was Kensi who spoke up first. "Sam what is it."

Taking a deep breath he finally spoke, "Headquarters was bombed at the Navy Yard in DC."

Kensi felt like she had been punched in the stomach.

Deeks looked from one to the other in disbelief.

Finally Kensi spoke after gathering herself. "How bad."

"It's bad. They fatalities and people unaccounted for including Vance."

Marty had never been to Washington DC but had heard Kensi tell about her visits there when she had to go to NCIS headquarters there. He couldn't believe his ears. "Do they think it was this Dearing guy?" He had heard about the alert that had been put out and the search for this monster. In fact his picture was posted at the mission.

"Yeah," nodded Sam. It took Sam a moment to gather his thoughts and then spoke. "Deeks stay with G until he's booked. Make sure the put him in segregated pop. Kensi and I are heading back to the mission. Everyone's being called in."

Deeks nodded. "Okay, what do I tell Callen?"

"The truth," said Sam. "And tell him not to worry we'll figure something out."

"Okay, keep me updated."

"We will and call us when you're ready to be picked up."

"Sure," as Deeks began heading to the police cruiser to head to the LA County Jail with Callen.

Kensi and Sam headed for the car and made the uncomfortable trip back to the mission both wondering if their lives and the lives of their coworkers and friends will ever be the same again.

Okay, I do have plans on continuing this. So please R&R and tell me what you think.
