Chapter 1 (Babysitting!?)
"Agent Callen, a moment in my office." Callen followed Hetty to her office.
"What's this about?" he asked curiously.
"I am expecting a guest today, and i would like it if you would be polite and make her feel welcomed. Show her around. " She said nicely as Callen stared at her with questioning eyes.
"Hetty you know I'm not much of a people person." He knew that she knew this, and he couldn't understand why she would assign this task to him. "Is this person going to be a new agent."
"No." Hetty laughed. "She's just an... old friend."
There was a moment of silence between the two of them. Callen stared at her and said "Friend from when?" Callen couldn't help but wonder how or why Hetty would ever let an outsider inside of NCIS headquarters. Who ever this person was, he or she must be important enough to Hetty, or someone she knew well and trusted.
Callen's train of thought was interrupted by Hetty's reply. "That does not matter." Her answer only made agent Callen more curious, and Hetty noticed that. "Ah, here she comes."
Callen turned around only to find a beautiful woman with medium length dark brown hair. She was maybe about 5 foot three, but taller wearing heels. She stepped into Hetty's office and with a warm a greeting smile said, "Hey Hetty, looking good!"
"Thank you Chloe. I was going to say the same to you." Callen was surprised by how casual Hetty was being. "Chloe this is agent Callen, agent Callen this is Chloe. Chloe, agent Callen will be sticking around with you for a while." The two awkwardly shook hands and the hair on Callen's neck stood up.
Chloe looked Callen up and down then said "Since when did i need a babysitter Hetty."
"You heard her Hetty, she doesn't need a babysitter. I have paperwork to do anyway." he said heading towards the bullpen.
"Agent Callen, wait just a moment. As for you Chloe, Callen will not be your babysitter. Think of him as more of an escort."
"An escort!" the two said in unison. They quickly glanced at each other and then quickly looked away.
Hetty gave Callen a look and he knew that this was a battle that he could not win. "I have made my decision, whether you guys like it or not. Now agent Callen, would you please give Chloe a tour of NCIS."
