Nell wrote her list. That is what she did. Even when she was young a pros and cons list was always her favourite way of coming to a decision. No matter what it was about. Today was no different. She furiously wrote under the pros list:

No need to lie about my job.

Same friends.

I feel safe with him.

He didn't mind that I feel asleep on his shoulder that time.

Strong hands.

His eyes.

She threw her pen down, almost ready to throw in the towel. But that wasn't her way. Picking her pen up she started the cons list:

We work together.

Age different (although I don't care – he might)

He doesn't feel the same way about me.

So distracted in making her list she didn't hear her partner, Eric, enter the room. Looking over her shoulder he knew exactly what Nell was weighing up. He held in a laugh at the title of her list, 'Do I Dream.'

Clearing his throat, Nell jumped and dropped her list. Eric picked it up. Scrolling through the list, pretending it was new information to him, he asked "Who is this about Nell?"

"Who is what about?", Callen and Sam enter OPS. Callen snatches the paper off Eric, Nell snatches it off Callen. Eric then takes it off Nell, then Hetty (appearing from nowhere) takes it off Eric.

"Back to work everyone", on hearing Hetty's warning tone, they all scuttle back to their workstations. "Miss Jones, my office, 5 minutes."

*******Hettys office – 5 minutes later*********

"I am not going to pretend I don't know what is going on Miss Jones. So let me just say that Mr Callen has your paperwork. He is the team leader. I think you will find him rather sensitive to your situation. That is all." Calmly sitting down to her tea. Nell is shellshocked. Callen has her list!

********5 minutes ago***********

Sitting back down at their desks Sam and Callen resume paperwork. Hetty enters the office area, "Mr Callen a word please."

"A file has made its way to my desk. Please see it is dealt with. That is all." She begins pouring herseld some tea.

"Hetty, this is the –"

"Mr Callen I am sure you can handle this. I can not do everything myself."

********Back to present**********

"Hetty please tell you didn't give my pros and cons list to Callen."

"Sorry Miss Jones I can not. Now if you don't mind I am due for a conference call with DC"
