Chapter 1

Bit of a different take on Nell. What happens when an arrest warrant for murder is issued for Nell?

Melissa Jones was Nell Jones's identical twin. Like Nell she a genius IQ. Her target was Ramon Cantano, who was now based in LA. He was Nell's ex-boyfriend. Her eventual target was her sister Nell.

Melissa Jones had been tracking her twin sister for weeks. She had followed her on the numerous routes she took to work, where she went after work; she made notes as to who she hung out with outside of work, which she was dating. She had to get her routines down pat if she wanted her plan to be successful.

When Ramon first arrived in LA, he tried for weeks and weeks to get in touch with Nell, but without her number it was almost impossible. As the weeks passed Ramon had started to give us hope that he was never going to see Nell again, until one afternoon he literally ran into her. He looked up.

"Sorry I didn't see.. Nell?"

Nell hadn't looked up. "Yeah?"

"Nell, its Ramon."

Nell looked up and smiled and walked over to him and hugged him. 'Ramon! What are you doing here?" she said as she withdrew from the hug. "How long have you been in LA?"

"For the last couple of weeks. I tried to find you, but you were like a ghost nowhere to be found and I didn't have your number so. Well we should definitely catch up. I mean the way we left things was kind of.."

"Unfinished?"

"Yeah. Unfinished, that is a good word for it."

Nell smiled. "Give me your phone"

"Wait what for?"

"So that you have my number and you can call and we can work something out."

Roman smiled as Nell entered in her number into his phone.

"It was really good to run into you literally." She laughed as she hugged him. "But I've gotta keep moving, we'll catch up soon" She said as she turned to keep running.

Ramon smiled to himself as he started to run in the opposite direction heading home. He couldn't believe it. He finally got a second chance with her.

Over the next couple of weeks Nell and Ramon started hanging out more and more. They met at their usual spot at down by their usual spot at the beach.

"I want us to get back together Nell." He suddenly blurted out. "Don't get me wrong I mean I love hanging out with you, but being here with you and getting a second chance I want to grab it and hold on with both hands you know.

"I…" she started to say.

"Look before you say no, just give it chance the only reason we broke up is because you were moving to LA.

"True, but.."

"Oh, are you seeing.."

"No, no there's no-one."

Ramon smiled

"Alright we start off slow, get to know each other again."

"Agreed." He said

Over the next couple of weeks Nell and Ramon started spending more and more time together as a couple, everything felt so easy and comfortable even the team noticed a change in her demeanor.

Nell walked smiling with all her attention focused firmly on her phone.

"So Nell, who's got you smiling these days." Asked Sam

"No-one just an old friend from back home."

"Hmm, really because I'd say by the way you're smiling and blushing that's more than friendship." Teased Callen

"Leave her alone guys, she's allowed to be happy and keep it a secret from you guys."

"Thank you Kensi" she said with a smile as she left the guys and walked up to OPS.

A few weeks into their newly re-kindled relationship Nell turned up at Ramon's apartment building with breakfast thinking it would be great to surprise him and was walking down the hallway when she saw a brunette exit Ramon's apartment. Nell picked up her walking pace and knocked on the door.

"Vivian, did you forget something." He said as he opened the door.

"No, she didn't but apparently you did!" She said as she threw the breakfast she brought in his face and started to run down the stairs.

"Nell!" He said as he chased after her but she didn't stop to let him speak.

"Nell!"

"No, just leave me alone Ramon" she yelled as she jumped in her quickly and tore off down the street.

Nell arrived at home shortly after. She didn't see Melissa who was staking out in her a car half way her block.

Nell paced around her living room, trying to make sense of what happened. How long had he been cheating on her, how many women were there and if he wasn't interested by did he continue to pursue her. Her thoughts came to an abrupt stop when her phone started to ring. She knew who it was. She took a deep breath and picked up the phone but didn't say anything.

"Hello? Nell? Are you there?

"What do you want Ramon."

"I'm sorry. She meant nothing. It was a mistake."

"A mistake, what did she just fall into your bed by accident! You know what, don't call don't talk to me. I don't want to see you again. I hate you! I hate you. I wish you were dead!" She said as she slammed the phone down. Ramon slammed his hand on the table.

"Damn it." He said as he grabbed his jacket and headed out the door to "their spot".

Nell ran her hands through her hair, she needed to get out of the apartment and clear her hand. She pulled on her running gear and headed out. Melissa who was dressed in all black gear, the same as Nell (she knew her sister well) hopped out of her car, tucked the gun in the pack around her waist and took off after Nell.

As she ran images and echoes of words ran through her head. "How long has it been going on? I mean Ramon said it was one time but how could I trust anything he said. Was she the only one? How many others were there?" Nell wasn't focused on where she was running, she was on autopilot. She found herself running past the spot where she had first run into Ramon. She didn't even notice him lurking.

"Nell!" he yelled

Nell snapped out of autopilot and looked over at Ramon. "Leave me alone. I don't want to talk." She said as she started to walk away.

"Nell, please I just need one minute!"

"You don't get it Ramon. You don't get a minute. I'm done." She said as she took off.

Ramon turned and started walking away when Melissa confronted him.

"Ramon?" Said Melissa who had the gun by her side.

"Nell. I'm so sorry. I…" but before he could finish speaking gun shots rang out.

Everyone in the vicinity scattered. Melissa turned as she heard Ramon crumple to the ground. She saw the camera and took off running back and followed Nell into her apartment building. She took sanctuary until she could safely exit the building without being noticed. She soon exited the building and walked back to her car and took off driving back her safe house. She could hear sirens in the background no doubt in response to the shooting. She smiled and waited for chaos to unfold.

Cut to LAPD

Captain, we're getting a report of a shooting. Male early 20's shot a point blank range. EMS are on the way."

"Alright take Destasio and check it out."

The two LAPD detectives arrived on the scene to find the EMS standing over Ramon, who had a white sheet over him.

"There was nothing we could do, he bleed out too fast."

One of the detectives turned to the EMS. "It's alright we'll take it from here."

"This close, mid afternoon surrounded by people. It had to be someone he knew." Said one detective while the other checked the deceased for an ID.

"His name's Ramon Cantano." He said as he opened up his wallet. "Lives in Echo Park."

"How are the uni's going for witnesses?"

"They're putting together some ID's now."

One of the uniforms walked over. "Sir, we have suspect description. Witnesses say suspect is approximately 5"2, short brown / red hair, pixie cut. One of the witnesses also said they heard the victim say Nell, before the shots.

Destasio looked around for surrounding cameras. "We.. need…to…get the video from that camera and see if it caught a still of our killer. We also need to track Cantano's route from his apartment to here. He could have been followed."

Destasio and his partner headed back to LAPD and arrived a short time later. His captain came out of his office.

"Video footage has just been emailed. He said as Destasio brought up the footage and hit play. He watched as a figure fired 2 shots and turned towards the camera quickly exiting the screen.

"Wait back it up" he said to the uni was operating the footage.

"Stop…right…..there." he said as Nell's face came into camera view.

"We need to find out who this. Grab a screen shot and run through facial recognition and put out a BOLO with her photo and description." Said Destasio.

Cut to 9am the next morning.

The facial recognition program had been working all night trying to match Nell's face from the security footage when suddenly the program dinged. Destasio sat down at his desk. "Match found." But when he tried to open it, it came up classified. "NCIS Classified."

"So, she's one of yours is she Deeks." Said Destasio as he took a sip of his coffee and walked into his captain's office.

"We got a problem Captain."

"Do you know how to get in touch with that Svengali at NCIS?

"Henrietta Lange?"

"Yeah that's her."

"Why? We got a hit and the match is classified and the file was locked down. She's NCIS.

Cut to Deeks

Deeks got up the next morning and was checking his email when he saw the BOLO Alert the contained Nell's photograph, details and arrest warrant.

"What the…" Deeks quickly packed up his gear and headed into OPS. When Deeks arrived everyone was already in the bullpen.

"Morning Deeks." Said Sam

"Morning." He said with a distracted tone.

"Deeks, everything okay?" asked Callen

"Have you seen Hetty?" he asked.

"I'm right here Mr Deeks" she said as she came up behind him causing him to jump.

"I need to talk to you...Now…It's urgent."

"What's going on Mr Deeks?"

"There's something I need to show you."

Hetty followed Deeks into OPS. We need the room Mr Beale, Ms Jones. Deeks stared at Nell who walked out of the room. Deeks locked the doors and put the BOLO up on the big screen and started to play the footage ending with the freeze frame of Nell.

"How long until they identify her Mr Deeks?"

"BOLO was issued last night. If they ran facial recognition they could have already gotten match."

"Yes Mr Deeks, but not a name."

"They've issued a warrant for her arrest Hetty."

"Well that won't be happening Mr Deeks, not until we have done some investigating of our own."

Please call Mr Hanna, Ms Blye and Mr Callen up to OPS.

A couple of minutes later they had all watched the video of Nell shooting Ramon.

"That can't be right. There's no way Nell would ever kill anyone Hetty" Said Sam

"I know that Mr Hanna. Well maybe someone hacked the footage." Suggested Callen

"Well according the report they have eye witnesses who heard the name Nell and then the shots a few seconds later."

Everyone fell silent.

"Mr Deeks, please invite Ms Jones and Mr Beale back into OPS.

Nell and Eric entered and see saw the picture on the screen of her.

"What's going on?" She asked.

Deeks replayed the tape while everyone watched on silently.

The tape ended and Nell couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. She stumbled over to her chair and sat down.

"Nell" Said Deeks as he walked over and dropped down in front of her.

"Ramon." She whispered. "Oh my god Ramon."

"Nell?" queried Deeks.

"Ramon, he's dead isn't he. I saw him that day.

"Who is he Nell" Asked Deeks

"We dated before; we started the relationship again when he came out here. He cheated I was angry and ran off. We argued I told him…Oh god…

"What is it Nell?" Asked Sam

"I told him I wished he was dead."

Everyone in the room sighed.

"Alright, um how do you explain the footage of you with the weapon shooting Ramon and leaving the scene?"

"I don't….."

"Nell there is witnesses at the scene who have him saying your name right before he was shot."

Nell who was completely in shock by everything tried to pull herself together.

"I can't I don't….None of this makes any sense…Unless…"

Suddenly a light bulb went off in her head.

"It can't be I haven't seen or heard from her in years." She said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Nell, who are you talking about?"

"My sister Melissa."

"You're sister?" Queried Callen

"Yeah, my identical twin sister."

Just a bit of different take on Nell.
