Out of Touch
How could I have missed that?
Black ink on the eye lids.
Callen knew they wouldn't blame him. He would do that for them. Time would heal their wounds. Time would only remind Callen of his. He should have seen that ink. Fuck it - he should have never left Janvier out of his sight. G. Callen was losing his touch. Losing what made him the seasoned, reliable agent he was. They wouldn't second guess him. They would continue to trust him. Life would move forward for Sam, Deeks and Kensi - they would forgive and in time push it to the far reaches of their minds. The words "David Agent" and the sinister eyes of Marcel Janvier etched in his vision would be what sent NCIS Special Agent G. Callen into early retirement.
