A/N: I do intend to keep updating this story since have been trying get over some of my writers block with a few of my other stories and this one has been on my computer for a while just haven't added it to my stories...review and tell me what you think so far
Callen and Nell and decided to keep their past relationship a secret in fear that Hetty would send her back packing and Callen watched as she headed back to OPs and Sam smirked seeing his partner yet again with the baby trying to hide a smirk, "Wow G the little guy has gotten to like you."
Eric whistles just then, "We got a case."
They all head upstairs and Nell is leaning against a table, "Lt. Col. Joe Malcolm was just found stabbed to death in his home. He is an Army drill Sargent at boot camp for the last 3 years after which he had served two tours of Iraq. Not married and one son Jason 21."
Callen looks around at the team, "Let's head to the crime scene and see what they have there and go from there."
Sam and Callen get in the Challenger and Sam can tell something is bothering his partner after he turns on Jazz and says nothing, "G what's bothering you?"
"Nothing just thinking about something," he tells him hoping his partner will let it go.
He shakes his head knowing something was eating at him, "Talk to me G. The kid teasing is just a way to get the tension from everyone since we have a new person on the team. You see the way Eric can't keep staring at her think has a crush on her but sure she doesn't feel the same."
Callen laughs recalling how it seemed Eric was maybe crushing on her, "Not sure he's her type."
"Uh-huh. Their both smart and know their ways around any computer system known to man and seem to get along."
~~~NCIS~~~
Nell sits down at the area she was working at and senses someone behind her and she turns to see her childhood best friend and stands up throwing her arms around his neck and can hear him laughing as he kisses the top of her head, "What are you doing here Nate?"
He laughs pulls her to his office where she sits on the couch, "So how it feel to be around Callen again?"
She shrugs, "We're at least talking which is more than we were doing in the last few months..." she can see his look. "We had lunch earlier before the case and we started to get along once again. Nate neither of us got over each other and work just got in the way."
"Nell jut trying to look out for you. Callen doesn't do relationships to well for long."
She glares at him, "I already know that after he told me after we started to see each other when he was working with me and the CIA."
He sighs and pats her knee, "I just don't want you to get your heart-broken again. Callen is a great agent and friend I just hope he doesn't break your heart but nice to see Chase likes him."
She groans as try not to think about it, "I know what you are getting at Nate and we are going to take things slow and go from there. We both have had bad relationship issues in the past but he worked together for 6 months in the CIA and got to know each other."
He shakes his head, "Well if need someone to talk to about him until break it to the team I am here. In the end Sam is the best person to ask advice about him."
~~~NCIS~~~
The four of them get to the crime scene seeing the bunch of LAPD officers standing around the crime scene and they head over to where there are a few of them standing together talking and Deeks spots a familiar figure and smirks, "Pete what doing around here?" He asked his old partner who had become like a brother to him.
Pete Archuleta looks at him smirking, "Was on my run this afternoon and was the one who found the body Marty."
Sam and Callen walk over to where the body is and looks around but finds nothing and meet at the cars, "Kensi and Deeks go and talk to his son," Callen told her.
Kensi plops down in the driver's seat of her Cadillac SRX and they head towards Santa Monica, "So what you think of the new girl?" Deeks asked fiddling with the radio stations and finally finding a channel with something he liked on breaking the silence.
She shrugs her shoulders, "Seems pretty young but if Hetty brought her in means she must be good at something at what she does. Eric seems to have fallen for her."
He smirks and looks out the window, "Seems Callen and her wouldn't even look at each other for some reason. You don't think?"
She shakes her head not wanting to think to hard on G Callen's love life, "He doesn't date for very long and if he didn't think could work whatever kink is going on between the two of them he probably would have already told Hetty and she's what 10 years younger?"
He takes a drink of his coffee as they get to the house and he knocks on the door and some tall man with brown hair opens it, "Can I help you?" He asked.
"Agent Blye with NCIS and Detective Deeks can we talk to you about your dad?" She asked him and he leads them into the living room.
"My father and me haven't talked to each other in a few days. He said he was leaving town and would call me when he could. Did something happen to him?"
"I am sorry but LAPD found him murdered this afternoon," Deeks told him.
Jason shakes his head and looks out at the ocean, "When he was overseas both times I was worried would get the phone call he had been killed. He was attacked by some thugs a few months ago while walking home and my cousin who works with the government helped him. He changed his last name."
"You know what is use to be? It might help us," Kensi told him.
He nods and hands them some papers, "Jones. He said needed to talk to her because someone was threatening both of them."
"You know her name by change? Or where she worked?" Kensi asked.
He sighs and pulls out a picture from a shelf that had been taken a few months ago, "Nell and I think he said that she was working with the CIA when he last talked to her a few months ago but we haven't talked in sometime due to her working and me with school. What happens now?"
"Were going to take you to a safe house and make sure you are safe until we can find the killer."
~~~NCIS~~~
Back at OPs
Nell and Eric are working on some leads and don't hear the doors open and someone sneaks up and knocks Eric over the head unconscious and knocks Nell over the head and carries her out of the building through back area without anyone knowing anything different.
Kensi tries to call OPs Center again but no answer as they drive back and hits speed dial, "Callen, I think something is wrong. Eric nor Nell are answering in OPs and neither is Hetty. We have Jason and dropping him at the boathouse and then meet you there."
Callen just then hearing beeping on his phone, "Damn it that's the emergency alarm in OPs. Kensi your right. Eric hit the emergency alarm in OPs and we will be there in 5."
Eric looks up as Carson and a few other guys rush in and help him into his chair, "What happened Mr. Beale? Where is your partner?" Hetty asked him walking inside the room.
He shakes his head and takes the ice pack from her, "I have no idea someone hit me over the head with something and I was out before hit the floor," he said and turns to his monitor. "Who ever did it put a Trojan horse in the system will take a while to get back online."
"What about security feeds?" Carson asked him. "Has to be something?"
He shakes his head as click away, "Everything is down and be a while before can access anything in the system."
Hetty takes a deep breath, "How did someone get in here?"
Callen, Sam, Kensi and Deeks rush in just then all weapons drawn, "Someone broke into here?" Deeks asked as they holster their weapon.
"Appears some how they were able to get their our systems and access the building and knocked Mr. Beale out and kidnapped Ms. Jones and put a virus in system which will take time to get out before we can try and do anything and figure anything out about what happened."
"Can't you try accessing it from another terminal?" Sam asked breaking the tension. "Like when had to shut the whole place down?"
Eric nods but doesn't look up, "Yes but where? The place is gone now-"
Hetty interrupts him, "Mr. Beale get ahold of Mr. Renko and his team they are in San Diego and can help."
Callen runs a hand through his hair before leaving the room and standing on the roof and doesn't look behind him to know whose there, "What you want to know, Hetty?"
She moves to stand next to hm, "Care to share why you seem to be taking this the hardest? Don't try and explain because she works here."
He looks out at the view, "Hetty remember about 18 months ago I was working on OP with CIA?" She nods getting a feeling where he was headed. "Nell and me worked together for those 6 months and became close and had a few dates and more and after I came back she told me she was pregnant and we thought was best not to tell anyone because didn't need to lose our jobs. I was there when he was born and we haven't seen to much of each other since because of the case load."
She pats his forearm, "You still care for her very much?"
"We connected the first time we meet and didn't really start anything until got close to end of the OP. You think this had to do something with our case since the man was her cousin?"
"Seems so because Eric found something in the computer at the man's house."
Eric and rest of the team look up as Hetty and Callen walk back into OPs, "Okay so I have the guys helping work the kinks from the system from there and also the son gave us his laptop and seems someone was sending threatening emails," Eric said.
Lt. Col. Malcolm
I can see you changed your last name from the last time we saw each other but you and that B-h of a cousin ruined my life and plan on getting what's owed to me
Anonymous
Eric sees a few more or the same message, "24 in the last 2 months sent to him through his personal email address. I am sure she also got them but have to have her computer to know that for sure though and see if can find something and try and get something from that."
Hetty hands Callen an address, "That's the address go and see what can find and while where pick a few things up."
Sam and Callen head to the Challenger and start to head to the address and Sam can tell something is bothering him, "G what's really going on?" He asked but got no answer the whole ride and once there Callen picks the lock and they walk inside.
Callen heads upstairs and finds her laptop on the bed and looks around finding nothing out of order. Sam is in the living room and see a few pictures and chuckles seeing his partner holding the newborn in a few of them and heads upstairs, "So that's why he likes you?"
Callen turns to roll his eyes at his partner, "Yeah during the OP last year with CIA we...might have had a fling."
Sam pats him on the shoulder, "Well congrats on having a kid G. He looks a lot like you actually. How about we get him some stuff from here and take the laptop."
later that night around one am
Hetty can tell that her team is tired and walks into the bullpen to see only one awake was Callen who was rocking in his chair with Chase on his chest and walks over and motions for him to follow her to office where he sits down, "Mr. Callen suggest you take him home and try and get some sleep. I already have had some stuff delivered to your place that will need and maybe Mr. Hanna will stay the night to help you get use to it too and more eyes for the late night to come."
Callen walks back into the bullpen and sets him down in the car seat, "Guys go home and get some sleep and be here at 0800 unless Eric or the others find something before then."
Sam watches as Kensi and Deeks leave as they grab their bags, "Come on G I will help you out tonight."
The ride to his place is quiet and once inside there's a note on the counter,
Mr. Callen your guest room is all ready for him and try and get some sleep. Hetty
They both laugh quietly as head to the room and see a crib, changing table and loads of diapers and clothes, "Sometimes I don't know how she does these things."
Sam pats his on the shoulder and see the other guest room door open and smirks, "Seems she predicted you would be having guests because she has a bed in this room and probably yours."
Callen changes him and then lays him down in the crib and turns on the baby monitor and leaves the nightlight on and heads to the kitchen, "Guess good thing never really sleep."
"Yeah that will come in handy but guess you wanted time with him but not like this?"
"Right there's a photo album by the TV other there. She sent me some every few weeks."
Sam nodded and watched his partner walked off and plops down on the couch and looked thru the album seeing how much the baby already looked like his partner and tries to figure out what was really going through his partners head since she had shown up.
