"And this is your room." G Callen finished giving the girl a tour of the house. Her new house. He smirked, noticing how overwhelmed she looked. Come to think of it, he was sure that's what he looked like too. Pulling her in for a hug, he whispered, "It'll be okay," to the scared girl. She pulled out of the hug quickly, and he continued, "One more thing, the adult in charge of us, he's only doing this for the money. He's distant and you'll rarely see him. Be polite when you do, and you should be fine. However, you need someone to look out for you. That would be me. That includes looking after you, making sure you don't get into trouble, etcetera. Got it?" He asked.
She gave a small nod. It was better this way, she thought. No one would be trying to replace her father. She could simply exist. It was all she really wanted at the moment, and this Callen guy seemed pretty cool. If she ever wanted an older brother, she would want one like him. His voice brought her out of her thoughts.
"You'll be okay?" He questioned. When she gave him a small nod, he left her to sort out her stuff and get settled. As he walked to his room, he was thinking about what to do with her. She was tough, and stubborn. She would definitely give him hell.
Speaking of giving a person hell, he peered into Lauren's room on the way. His knocking on the open door frame made her look up from her drawing. For a twelve year old kid, she was pretty good. "You okay in here, Laurie?" He asked, chuckling when she scrunched her nose at the nickname and leaving when she gave him affirmation.
