The Shirt

I got this idea from a lovely photo of Callen I have where he is sitting at a table wearing a lovely aqua shirt & shades. Its one of his best photos.

Sam walked into the bullpen and stowed his bag under his desk looking to see where his partner was.

"Hey Sam what's going on with you this morning?" Kensi greeted him as she walked over with a cup of coffee. Deeks followed closely behind her with his own cup mumbling a greeting to Sam.

Taking a seat at his desk the blonde detective propped his feet up and took a sip of coffee keeping his eyes locked on his partner.

"Morning Kensi, Deeks you guys seen G yet I expected him to be here by now."

"No we haven't seen him I thought he would be coming in with you like usual." Kensi sat down and began to move papers around.

"Tell me he's not cheating on you Sam, has he found another chauffer to take your place?" Deeks remarked.

Sam glowered "Just shut up Deeks I couldn't give him a ride this morning because I had a couple of things to take care of."

About that time Callen walked in wearing his trademark black leather jacket and shades dropping into his chair with a grunt.

Opening his mouth to greet his partner Sam did a double take before speaking.

"You might as well take it off now; I've told you I'm not working with you when you wear that thing."

"Good morning to you to Sam and I don't know what you're talking about." G gave him his normal smirk while taking off the shades.

"G you know exactly what I'm saying go change now and get it over with."

Kensi and Deeks studied the senior agent but couldn't see what was bothering Sam, Callen was wearing his unofficial uniform; leather jacket, shades, button up shirt and jeans.

"What's the big deal Sam he looks like he always does Callen basically wears the same thing everyday." Deeks leaned forward to take a closer look "Of course he doesn't have my sense of style but he's covered and clean for now."

"Sense of style Deeks, really since when does a plaid shirt, ripped jeans and a shaggy haircut become style" Kensi snarled at him as she continued to study Callen.

"Look Sam this is what I'm wearing and I don't see what the problem is." Callen stood up to take off his jacket and reveal the aqua blue shirt underneath. "There's nothing wrong with this shirt and I'm not taking it off."

"I've already told you not to wear that shirt when you're around me so if you insist on wearing it today find somebody else to work with." He shot a dark look at G. "You are not getting in my car with that on."

No one had seen Hetty walk up until she spoke.

"Mr. Hanna what is the problem with the shirt, personally I like it. I believe it brings out his eyes and highlights his skin. Mr. Callen you look quite attractive in that shirt."

"Hetty that would be the problem, when he wears that shirt and we go in public it's a hazard. Please make him take it off before we leave."

"I do not understand why the shirt is a hazard please explain the problem to me." Hetty looked at Sam for an answer.

"What's the matter big guy; do you have a hard time keeping your eyes off him in that shirt?" Deeks walked forward to get a better look. "It is a stunning color on him."

"Stunning? Did you really just say stunning Deeks; have you been watching Project Runway again?" Kensi slugged him in the shoulder as he walked by.

"The problem with the shirt is every time he wears it in public all the women and a few men in a 2 mile radius have to come up and gawk at him. It's hard to be undercover when your partner stands out like a parrot." Sam pointed at Callen "Take it off right now."

"Really Mr. Hanna you must be stretching the truth a bit, surely it not that bad." Hetty stopped to take another look at her senior agent. "Though I must say again it really does bring out those blue eyes."

"No I'm not exegrating last time he wore it on a stake out several women almost got shot, not that they cared. All they were concerned about was getting his number." Sam shot a disgusted look at G.

"Look guys this was the only clean shirt I had so unless you want me to go half naked this is what I'm wearing." Callen continued to smirk at his partner.

"G don't push me on this, there is no way you're getting in my car with that rag on your body." Sam sputtered.

"Please gentlemen I believe I have a solution to this problem; Mr. Callen come with me to wardrobe and I'll find you a less objectionable shirt to wear today." Hetty began to walk away with Callen following her.

"Mr. Hanna I would like to test your hypothesis about the affect this lovely garment in conjunction with Mr. Callen's physical attributes has on the female population."

"I will send out instructions where this experiment will take place later this evening. Attendance is mandatory after all we haven't had a team bonding event in quite some time."

"Hetty you're joking right, I not some farm animal to be put on display." Callen had a panicked look on his face as the little ninja held shirts up to him. "Really there's no way I'm going to do this."

She handed him a black shirt to change in to "Here this should suit Mr. Hanna's dress requirements for the day. As to the other you certainly will do as I've asked after all you are the team leader and it will be a lovely team exercise."

"Why depending on what we learn this evening there could be other opportunities to see the effects certain objects of clothing have on those around us. It will be quite illuminating Mr. Callen, now go get on with the day's business while I set up our exercise."

As he stepped into the changing room he could hear her speaking "Perhaps next Miss Blye in a lovely sun dress (he would pay to see Kensi's face at that idea) or I've always wanted to dress Mr. Deeks in a more scholarly fashion.

I hope you guys liked it. It didn't turn off quite like I wanted but I've had it for several dats & need to release it. Please let me know what you think.
