A/N: Hi! I hope you like it and I hope it's not too out of character for any of them. I don't own any of these characters or NCIS: LA. I do own Maddie.

Side-note: For this story Amy was alive until 2 years prior to this story taking place when she was killed. No, Callen and her never met, he didn't even know he had a sister. He only found out when because of men after him went after her. Just so you know. Otherwise this wouldn't really make sense. I just thought Callen could use a family member...don't worry there will be action and some romance in it but I haven't decided about that yet.

Please Review and let me know what you think!


G Callen and Sam Hanna were getting their morning coffee by the beach before heading into work one day. The two were talking lightly, bantering back and forth from their spot in the parking lot when a girl around the age of 21 with dark brown hair that was tossed up into a bun approached them.

The girl had on torn jeans, a light gray fitted v-neck short sleeve shirt with tennis shoes on. On her back she carried a small duffle back that looked full.

"Excuse me sir's?" the girl asked Callen and Sam as she came closer.

Both men turned to the girl, looked at each before back at her.

"Can we help you?" Sam asked politely.

"Um…yes. I think. I um…hope at least." The girl told them slightly nervous as both men could tell.

"Is something wrong?" Callen asked.

"Nope. It's just…." She took a deep breath, "Are you G Callen?" she asked hoping, wishing that he were.

"Who wants to know?" Callen asked rather suspiciously glancing at his partner.

"Is that a trick question?" she asked confused as Sam sniggered behind Callen, "I do. Are you G Callen?"

"And you are?" Callen asked leaning against the car.

"I'm…my mother was Amy Callen. I'm her daughter Madison Callen, but you can call me Maddie. She never told me who my father was so I just took her last name." Maddie answered very nervous at this point looking directly at Callen.

Callen stood there shocked. He didn't move, didn't blink, and just stared at her. He couldn't believe it, some men murdered Amy 2 years ago but they couldn't bring them down until a year ago. He remembered, he checked to see if she was married or had kids. Nothing had come up that Callen remembered.

"My mother was killed 2 years ago by some men." Maddie said again talking fast once she realized he wasn't going to say anything, while Sam in the background stood looking between his partner and Maddie. "She left me a note."

Maddie paused and pulled a note out of her pocket, unfolded it and started to read it out loud. " 'Maddie, Run. I don't know who they are but you must run. Leave me and look after yourself. Disappear. Take the money and ID in the safety box and run. Don't come back for me. I don't know who these men are but I do know they want your uncle. G Callen. I'm so sorry I never told you about him before but he is my brother. He was like you as a kid and I'm so very sorry you never got to meet him, and I haven't seen him since we were little. Please know that I love you very much and will always love you. Love your Mum.' I found the note on the kitchen table after school one day. I ran to my room packed my duffle of the essentials and left quickly. Later that day I found out my house was ransacked by those men and my mother was ki- while you know the next day." Maddie paused to see if Callen would say anything but once again he just stared at her.

"For 2 years those men tried to find me, I was always on the run with no where to go. It came close a couple of times and it scared me to death that I had no one to run too, to help me. About a year ago the men stopped chasing me and I don't know why. I tried then to get a place to stay, but I didn't have enough money, so I lived where I could, found food where I could until I met a girl who befriended me about 5 months ago. She gave me a place to live and food to eat. That's when I started to try to find you. It took me 5 months, of looking, waiting, hoping I could find my only family left." Maddie told him and Sam who was still there, concern written on his face.

"About 2 months ago my friend said she was moving across the country to her new job. She offered me to come with but I had to find you. I had her apartment free of charge until a month ago, then I was back to the streets, living where I can. I needed to find you, I needed to know I wasn't alone, that someone out there was..." Maddie trailed off breaking eye contact with Callen.

Sam took this time to look at Maddie, really look at her. She looked worn, tired, very skinny probably due to not eating properly, scare and alone. He wondered what G was thinking, and if this was really his niece. Sam, for the life of him hoped so.

Silence over took the three of them, wondering what to do. Maddie looked once again into the eyes of, hopefully, her uncle. She had been running for so long, she just wanted to stop and live a normal life or at least have someone she could go to for help, advise or anything.

Callen stood there, in front of the girl who claims to be his niece. She looked like Amy, had a note from her, accurate information but he still couldn't believe it. He hoped it was true though.

"This was stupid of me." Maddie said once neither Callen or Sam had spoken or looked like they were going to anytime soon. "Stupid to actually think G Callen was you and I could actually find him. I'm sorry to have ramble on to you about something that I probably shouldn't have said until I was sure it was him. I'm sorry for your time." Maddie concluded, looking defeated and heartbroken.

She gave them a nodded and turned away walking towards the beach to cry. Trying to hold in her tears of embarrassment, and disappointment until she was completely away from them.

"G." Sam said gently once she was out earshot. "G."

"Was she my…."

"Sounded like it."

"And I just let her walk.."

"Yep."

Callen stood still watching his niece walk away before she fell to down into the sand and curling up into a ball. Just as Callen was about to say something else Sam spoke up again.

"We're running late G" Sam asked still eying his partner. " So go. I'll get the car."

"Sam…"

"We'll take her to OSP's. Maybe Hetty knows, but from what I heard, from what she told us. That's your niece who is on the beach. Go get her."

Callen nodded and headed towards Maddie across the beach. As he came closer to her he heard the sniffles, allowing him to know she was crying softly to herself.

"Maddie." Callen said softly trying to get her attention without startle her.

Maddie looked up and hastily wiped her eyes, looking embarrassed even more.

"I told you sir, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…" she started getting up and from the sand to stand and went to get her bag off the ground.

"I'm him. I'm G Callen." Callen almost like a whispered but she heard him dropping the bag to the ground and looking up at him.

"You are?" she whispered back.

"Yeah I am."

"Then back there, why didn't you…" she was at a lost for words.

"I was in shock Maddie. I didn't know what to say. I had checked back when Amy was murdered if she had any family, any kids but nothing came up. So I dropped it." Callen explained looking at her.

"Your not joking right? You really are G Callen, my mom's brother?" Maddie said tears coming down her face silently.

"Yes I'm really G Callen, I'm your uncle." Callen whispered laughing a little.

Maddie stood there looking at him and saw he had her mothers eyes. Then before she knew what she was doing she had her arms around his neck hugging him tight. Callen caught her easily and wrapped his arms around her waist returning the hug tentatively. Maddie stood there hugging him, relieved that she finally found her Uncle.

Callen closed his eyes, feeling the tears dampen his shirt and held her tight. He felt responsible for everything that had happen to her, but he wasn't going to let anything else like that happen again. He was going to take care of her. After a few more moments, Callen pulled away and looked at her face. He wiped her tears away slowly and a smile formed on his face.

"Is that all your stuff?" Callen asked nodding towards the duffle bag.

Maddie nodded weakly and almost ashamed of the small amount of items she owned. Callen smiled and grabbed her bag before wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

"Come on. My partner, Sam is waiting for us. We're going to go back to…"

"NCIS, I know." Maddie replied softly.

"How?" Callen asked surprised.

"I figured out a while ago you worked there, I just didn't know how to get to your office place…..sorry if I wasn't suppose to know that." Maddie told him quietly.

Callen laughed, "It's alright. It will make this easier."

Approaching the car Sam was leaning on, which was his, and smiled.

"Maddie this is Sam my partner. Sam this is Maddie, my niece." Callen said introducing them properly.

"Nice to meet you." Maddie told him shaking his hand.

"You too Maddie, but we got to get going before Hetty comes after us. So come on slow poke." Sam said glancing at Callen, who just smirked back.

"Don't mind him. He might seem like a big tough guy but he couldn't hurt a fly if he tried. Really those muscles he has are inflatable." Callen replied causing Maddie to smile a little while she got into the car.

"Don't listen to him, he's just jealous he doesn't have muscles like these for the women." Sam replied rolling his eyes as they drove off to OPS.
