Petty Officer First Class Elena Martinez was unlawfully detained. She was at a house party when federal agents stormed the building and began rounding up everyone they thought were illegal immigrants. This, unfortunately, included Martinez. She tried to tell them that she was American and that she was serving in the navy, but they wouldn’t believe her. She remained in their custody as NCIS began to investigate their disappearance. They had to investigate these matters whenever a navy serviceman or woman disappeared on leave and Martinez’s case at first mystified them. They thought she had been attacked by the signs they saw of this party.
It wasn’t until they were knocking on doors that someone finally answered. The agents were told that ICE had come around and that they arrested everyone, but the team wanted to know where Martinez was. They knew she was American and didn’t understand why she hadn’t been released yet. Gregorio and Khoury had even gone to the detention center because they wanted to know when Martinez would be freed. Only Martinez was freed to leave. She just didn’t want to because she said she wanted to talk to the agent in charge.
Martinez was first taken to a private detention center called Duvall. It was there that she witnessed women being moved in the middle of the night and according to women who have watched this happened – the disappeared never come back. Martinez wanted to report this because she believed the facility tried to take her as well. She told Gregorio and Khoury who she later met that this was happening under their noses and they offered to help. They suspected it might be human trafficking. They looked into it and there was a previous investigation centered around the Duvall center.
Duvall was accused of being involved in human trafficking. The investigation wasn’t available to Gregorio and so she tried to get answers in person. She went to the center with Martinez. Martinez said some of the guards were inappropriate with her and that she could identify them on sight. Only the director wouldn’t allow her to. He also refused to hand anything over to Gregorio without a warrant and so the ladies ended up leaving empty-handed. They did, however, know that the detention center was hiding something. Pride had used his pull to gain access to the file on the center and he learned that there was an investigation that was abruptly closed.
There also wasn’t any reason behind it. The file did state that the leading agent on the case was Raymond Isler and so the team took that as great news. They knew Isler. They even counted him as a friend and so Pride visited him. He wanted to know what happened with the case and Isler later told him that the detention center had closed ranks the moment he opened an investigation into them. He also added that his people came up with nothing once the detention center began “losing” their files. The FBI was still the lead on the case because they were the first to open an investigation and so Isler roped in the NCIS.
This suddenly became a joint investigation. This meant the team had greater access to the FBI files and they used that to find the weakest link. Someone like Samuel Barnes. Barnes was listed as a driver for the detention center and yet his financials showed he was gaining extra cash on the side with little to no explanation of how he was making his money. So, they rattled him. They brought him and grilled him for a while. They also released him because they wanted to see who he would contact. They then followed the person he called and the person that man called and they slowly worked their way up to the leader of this side business.
Patton kept watching until he noticed that the men felt scared enough to start moving the women. Pride and Isler then followed up on what Patton found and it led them to a massage parlor. The parlor was heavily guarded, but the guys called in backup and with a four-man team they were able to move on the building. They took on the security team and killed everyone who offered resistance. It took them a while, but eventually, they found the women being held prisoner and they freed them. They also arrested the madam. She was helping the men from the detention center to sell these women into sexual slavery and so they got her to flip.
It just came too late. Pride and Isler tried to rush the warrant and it took them so long that by the time they entered the building they found everyone at a shredder. They even found the director dude taking a hammer to his hard drive in an effort to erase incriminating information. But they’re pretty sure Patton can still recover information from it and so the guy didn’t ruin anything.
The detainees were all going to be moved, but they were going to be separated into even more overcrowded centers and so its not like its good news for them.
Martinez helped bring down a corrupt organization and in exchange, she got help with her father’s asylum claim from the ACLU.
And meanwhile, LaSalle found a body that sadly turned out to be his brother Cade.
THE END!
