Authors Note: This is a fiction where you are the main character, you will be hooking-up with Becker in this fic – so if you don't like the idea of hooking-up with him and having to deal with Jess to win Becker *tongue-in-cheek* then you won't want to read this, you have been warned. ;)
Also another warning, I am using a character from NCIS: Los Angeles, Special Agent G. Callen but I didn't think it warranted a crossover because I won't be touching on anything NCIS: LA related – I just love his name and the person who plays him. This picks up a few months after the end of Season 4.
Tell me if you like it. Thank you so much for reading…please enjoy.
[Fort Myer, Washington DC]
-Your Point Of View-
You stood in your commanding officers office, a little bit confused as to why you were there.
"At ease Major." He sighed; you sidestepped but remained silent and standing. He looked back up at you.
"Sorry, drop the formalities and take seat." He added motioning to a chair, you relaxed and sit in the chair.
"I wish I had time to ease you into this, but time is the one thing we don't have at the moment – the secretary of defense has requested that we send one of our pest operative to act as an ambassador of sorts with a government/privately owned facility in England, and you have been selected for the job." He explained without so much as stopping.
"Sir?" You questioned…it was a lot to take in, but with the extensive military training you got yourself together fairly quickly.
"Am I to be a military presence or a civilian – and will I be going alone?" You had to know exactly what you were expected to act like.
"You are to be both, and you will have Special Agent G. Callen with you." You smiled at that, you knew him, the two of you did an undercover operation out of the Marine Corps Base in Quantico – he's closet thing you could have to a best friend. Having him there with you may be more like a vacation than an assignment. It was then that you noticed that your commanding officer looked a bit uncomfortable with what he wanted to say next.
"There is another thing…you will be reporting, working under, and taking orders from a Captain Becker."
You blanched at this – not even bothering to hide it, your commanding officer looked even more uncomfortable when he noticed.
"Major, we are not trying to insult you- we are aware that you outrank him, but we are guests there so we need to abide by their rules." Knowing better than to mouth off you held your tongue, thinking.
"Aright, I'll go." You answered.
Your commanding officer nodded approvingly. "There is a car out front, Agent Callen is waiting for you – you both are to be taken to the Pentagon and briefed there."
'The Pentagon…this must be serious.' You thought standing up saluting you left the room, wondering just what you had agreed too.
[The ARC – The Following Day]
-Becker's Point Of View-
I made my way over to the ADD where Jess was, in my hand I was reading the file on the new American operative we were getting – as well as an American Agent along with her, turning in her chair Jess saw what I was looking at.
"Impressive isn't it." Jess commented refereeing to the newcomer's credentials, at the same time Matt made his way over to us, looking at the file over my shoulder. His mood has slowly improved sense Emily left to go back to her time – I was worried about him for a while.
"I'm not sure I trust some American at the ARC, why is Phillip even letting them see what is going on here?" Matt added and it was a good question – one I had asked myself a number of times since I heard her and a companion were coming.
"We shouldn't trust her, maybe not even let her leave the ARC during the duration of her stay." Conner supplemented from behind the ADD.
"I'm considering that." I replied kind of absently – still looking over her file
Still, her credentials were impressive – graduation from both The Citadel and West Point – a mate of mine from Sandhurst did a year at The Citadel and swore up and down that a person could die from how brutal it was there.
"I was looking at her file…" Jess started only to be cut off by Matt.
"Her private FBI one?" Matt asked giving Jess a pointed look, Jess turned red but continued. "She seemed alright, flawless record actually, but there is two months that have been completely blacked out from this past year, also I couldn't find anything on this Agent Callen"
"See… there something odd about this." Connor's voice raised.
Trying to defuse the mood I added. "Well at lease she hasn't climbed Mount Everest." Jess giggled sweetly, while Matt pointedly looked away.
"…Not Everest, but I did climb K2 last year, which is only hmm…237 meters shorter than Mount Everest – still, I didn't think that my recreational hobbies were relevant when considering my military credentials."
A soft but cutting female voice came from behind us, I looked up sharply, and when I got a good look at her my breath hitched – hurting my chest slightly, I still have some pain associated with Ethan shooting me twice with an EMD in a span of a few seconds.
I was expecting a girl who was more masculine, bloody hell was I off – this girl definitely had some serious sex appeal, we all stood speechless. Matt being who he is, recovered first.
"Your early Major." He commented…it was then that I started to wonder with some dismay just how much of the conversation she had overheard – because her beautiful face wasn't giving anything away… she must be one hell of a poker player. The guy behind her whom I assume is Special Agent Callen gave Matt a look of disapproval.
"I was a little bit overeager to get introduced to all of you, so we took an earlier flight…my bad." She responded, there was an awkward silence in the room – you could practically taste the tension in the air.
"I have been in this area of England before…let's get some coffee." Agent Callen suggested to her, putting a hand on her shoulder affectionately. "Coffee would be nice." Turning her back on us – the both of them left without another word.
I wondered for a moment if they were a couple, not even wanting to fathom why it would bother me if she did have a boyfriend.
After a while I pushed off the table sighing, looking at my team members who looked ashamed and embarrassed at the idea that they had been overheard.
"I'll try and fix this, just get back to what you were doing." I stood up ready to go after the pair of them when Jess grabbed me by the arm.
"Do you want me to come with?" She asked her eyes hopeful.
"I'll handle this Jess, but thank you." I touched her hand giving it an affectionate squeeze, as I turned and left the ARC
-Your Point Of View-
Much to your horror you wanted to cry, you didn't anticipate how much they wouldn't want you here. They didn't even know you and they were judging you very harshly. What the team didn't know is that there had been an anomaly that opened in America, 34 people had been killed in a remote town in Nevada.
They were saying that they couldn't trust you…but you were not sure that you could trust them, you hated to admit it but you were scared. Callen touched your shoulder when you got in the elevator; you hoped he would be able to protect you if anything bad should happen.
