A/N: So, here is Chapter 2.
As soon as Callen put the car in park Nell bolted out and into OSP. Confused, he locked the car and walked in. He saw Nell at Kensi's desk, showing her the ring. They were both squealing and jumping up and down.
"Girls." He muttered under his breath before sitting his coffee down on his desk. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to meet the twinkling eyes of his partner. "So you popped the question. Congrats G. So let me know when your ready to get a mini-van, 'cause I know a great dealership.."
Callen raised an eyebrow. "Mini-Van? As in, the things soccer mom's drive?"
Deeks stepped out from behind Callen and laughed. "Oh yeah. Prepare for the domesticated life my friend. 'Cause it's currently knocking down your door." Callen rolled his eyes and looked over to the girls. They has grown somber and Callen overhead Nell saying the words "my parents". He wondered again what she wasn't telling him about her family.
Nell hugged Kensi and then ran up to Ops.
"Hey Nell!"
"Hey Eric. How was your weekend?"
"Good. Yours?"
"Pretty well." She held up her left hand and Eric's jaw dropped. "Congratulations!" He high-fived her.
"So what are we up to today?" Nell asked, picking up her tablet.
Eric cleared his throat. "Well, a group of prisoners broke out yesterday around 6:00 pm. Twelve in all. Would you like to whistle, or should I?"
"I will." Nell skipped out of the room and let out a shrill whistle. She saw Sam and Callen head up the stairs, followed by Kensi and Callen. When she made it back to the room, Hetty was already there. Figures.
Eric repeated to the team what he had already told Nell and tapped his tablet. Photographs of the twelve prisoners popped up on the screen. Nell scanned each of their faces. She froze on the last one.
Callen looked over at Nell and noticed her hands trembling, her face turning white. Before he could reach her, she cleared her throat. "Excuse me for a moment."
She ran from the room, and Kensi followed closely behind. The men all looked at each other puzzled and Hetty spoke up.
"Mr. Hanna, Mr. Callen, will you please drive to the prison. Mr. Deeks, wait for you partner to return and I will give you your assignment. They should be back soon."
Deeks nodded and Hetty walked out the door. Callen followed and opened his mouth to speak.
"She will be ok Mr. Callen."
Callen walked back into OSP and checked his watch. 5:30 pm. He jogged up the stairs to Ops and found Nell alone. He turned her chair around and kissed her on the forehead. "What was wrong this morning?"
Nell took a deep breath. "How bout we go back to my place for dinner and I'll explain. Kensi can give me a ride and you go pick something up?"
Callen nodded. "Sure. Is Chinese good?"
Nell nodded and smiled. He kissed her on the mouth this time and helped her into her coat. They went downstairs and then after she left with Kensi, he walked to the parking lot. Opening his car door, he flipped open his cell and called a takeout order at The Golden Noodle.
