Callen woke up early in the morning. He looked at the calendar. Yes, today is a special day. His birthday. Five years ago he just ignored this day and did nothing special. Nobody congratulated him and nobody gave him a single present. Not even a birthday card. But the last few years were different. He got friends and the friends became a little family. He was proud of what he got after all these hard years.
He made himself ready for work. He took his keys and his gun. After 30 of driving he was at the old building of the OPS centre. With a little smile on his face he went into the bullpen. Quietly he sat behind the desk. Like every day he was a little bit to early. He took a file and began to work. After one hour of paperwork Sam, Kensi and Deeks came into the office at the same time. All three were laughing be when they reached Callen they silenced.
Callen was a little bit confused. He was wondering about his friends. "What's wrong guys?" , he asked. Sam answered him. "Oh, nothing special. Deeks just made a joke."
And again Callen was confused 'cause nobody had congratulated him, but he thought they would do it later.a whistle of Eric took his attention.
The four Agents went the stairs up. The moment they arrived Nell started speaking. "A jogger found a death petty officer. His name is Sean Smith. He was married but he had no children." Callen distributed the tasks like always. In the car with Sam he looked out the window. Nothing saying. Sam looked at him from the side but he didn't ask.
At the end of the day they were back in the mission. It was the jealous ex-friend. Sam, Kensi and Deeks took their bags after finishing the paperwork. They wanted to go out. Callen was still sitting behind his desk when Kensi asked him. "We go to a bar. A bit drinking, you know? Do you wanna come with us?" Callen looked up at her. "No, thank you." He said it colder then he wanted but he was offended that they obviously forgot his birthday.
The others went outside without asking him for reasons. And again they were laughing and speaking together. After two more hours Callen grabbed his bag and went to the beach. He sat in the sand. After a long time he got a Mail on his phone. It was from Eric.
Everyone to the central. We have an urgent case.
Callen let out a deep sigh then he returned to OPS. When he arrived he saw the cars of Deeks and Sam. He went inside but it was dark and empty in the building. He took his gun in front of him. Sam would say it his paranoia. Suddenly the light went on and the team screamed. "Surprise."
Callen nearly shot at them. A few seconds later he holstered his gun. He swallowed hard. His friends had organized a big party for him. They hadn't forgotten his birthday. Kensi brought a cake towards him. "Don't worry, not I baked this. It his from Michelle." Callen smiled. Sam gave him a huge card. "I said I would give you a big card for birthday this year."
Deeks gave him a voucher from his favourite restaurant. ,,Happy birthday, Callen. We are so sorry for feign forgetting your birthday. You must have thought we are the worst friends on earth.
Callen smiled. He just couldn't stop smiling. It was the best birthday in his whole life. They laughed and ate the whole night.
Yes, his friends are the best friends he could ever have.
