Naval Criminal Investigative Services is not what I signed up for. I originally thought I would be doing lab work or training but no my big mouth opened as soon as they said position on the mainland. And now look where its landed me sitting in another training hall waiting for an explanation on what we will be doing. Before I start though let me introduce myself my name is Christy A. DeVries.
Well here I am sitting waiting for the introduction that says the same basic thing you have volunteered for a job blah blah blah… you will do blah blah blah… you will train for blah blah blah… and guess what I am not the only one spacing this BS. Then out of no where the guy says what color was the pen I was just writing with and no one knew except me that is.
Slowly I raised my hand and he called on me like I was in fifth grade all over again. "Sir the pen was blue sir."
"A fresh navy recruit" he chuckled.
"Sir yes sir" I stammered. Is this not the navy?
"Well we will have you broken in in no time" he got out before laughing again.
What the hell I mean come on I am not a dog and I don't need to be broken in wtf. All the people around me were smiling sympathetically at me which was the last thing I wanted to see right now I mean seriously had they gone through this crap before or was it just me. Well after the speech I was taken to these dorms by a college age kid who I have to admit was kind of cute. Well any way I am going to skip the boring part of the school year and skip to the beginning of summer when we get our assignments and when we have our spring break. We were partying out back behind the dorms with all the beer we could sneak on the property and wet tee shirt contests and dancing when of course in walks sergeant Travis Graves.
"What are you doing" he bellowed.
"It is spring break is it not sir" I said boldly.
"Yes it is but there are people from NCIS locations all over the world waiting to interview you." He stated coolly.
"Ohh shit can we have a minute to get ready" I said glancing down at my soaking wet clothes that were more appropriate for a beach party than an interview.
"No" he said smirking.
We stood are attention waiting miserably for our possible employers to walk in and see us like this. When they came in all of them were older people except one. He was tall and handsome with hazel eyes. He came in with a very short petite woman who looked at foreboding as Sergeant Graves. Yet I seemed drawn to them maybe it was the guy or the fact they we from my favorite place on earth L.A.
The Sergeant introduced us smirking the whole time. "This is Robert Coe, Devon Busey, Allison Eldrige, Michaela Oberg, Josh Wagner, Christy DeVries, and Logan Coffey."
Then they introduced themselves and of course I wasn't listening to any of them until it cam to the short foreboding woman.
"My name is Henrietta Lange". But she said she would kill anyone who used that name. She said to call her Hetty.
Then the guy who had come with her stepped forward and introduced himself staring at me the whole time "my name is Callen G. Callen." And damn his voice was hotter than he was.
We were then dismissed for an hour to get ready and come down to the conference room. I have to tell you something about myself I hate shrinks the last one I talked to I knocked out about five minutes into our conversation. They are just so annoying. And I was not looking forward to this because at least half of the people here had brought shrinks with them and I knew I was likely to injure at least half of them.
One of my friends was helping me zip up my black business skirt. When she mentioned Callen.
"He is Sooo hot I hope I am the one who gets to work with him but I won't be it will be you" said Allison.
"What why me they have a shrink" I stammered.
"Did you see the way he looked at you all he wants is to undress you and sleep with you" she said still unconvinced that I was this oblivious to the fact that a guy was basically doing me with his eyes.
"No I hadn't noticed I was a little busy do ing the same to him" I admitted.
"Ohh my god" she said as she finished zipping me up.
"Oh come on we are going to be late to get down there" I said forestalling anymore questions.
