When Callen arrived at work he realised just how early he was, hardly anybody was there, Hetty was of course talking on the phone and she looked quite angry which didn't bode well for the day ahead.

As he dumped his stuff at his desk he wondered if Nell was here yet as he headed over to make himself a coffee, he found the pixie like analyst watching him with a steaming cup in her hand.

"Hello Nell" he said smiling

"Hello Callen" she said returning the smile

"Did you have a nice weekend?"

"Yes I did actually, how about you"

"It peaked for me on Friday night, very boring weekend" Callen said which made Nell laugh

"That's too bad, anyway I have to destroy some documents, I'll see you later" Nell replied

"Yeah see you later" Callen replied watching her leave it was then he noticed Hetty going upstairs to ops so he decided to follow Nell to the incinerator room.

Nell started when Callen followed her in and snapped the door shut quickly behind him, he took the stack of papers out of her hands and put them on the table and he pulled her to and kissed her passionately. The moment seemed to stretch forever or until Nell broke the kiss, Callen wrapped her up against and placed his cheek on the top of her head

"We probably shouldn't do that here" Nell mumbled a little breathless and

"No one saw us, but I know what you mean, I just needed to kiss you but I promise to refrain from kissing you at work unless I know where alone" Callen replied

"I must be losing my mind but I agree with that" Nell laughed

"I probably should get back to my desk the others should be here soon" Callen said

"Okay" Nell answered neither of them moved for a moment, just stayed in the embrace

"Alright I'm really going now" Callen laughed as he let go

"Okay" Nell said again looking him in the eye. Callen placed a lingering kiss on her lips and walked out of the room.

Callen was right Hetty being in OPS so early and on the phone looking severe didn't bode well at all. Callen was being sent on an undercover mission with

"Nell!" Callen protested loudly "Hetty she's not an agent you can't make her do this"

"Unfortunately it's not my decision Assistant Director Granger suggested it to the Director and the Director has agreed and signed off on it, I'm sorry Mr Callen but what the director says goes and you know it, now Mr Beale fill in Mr Callen and Ms Jones on their cover stories and what going to be happening, there's no point to argue any more Mr Callen the order came from the director, there is nothing more I can do, once Mr Beale had run through everything I expect you in wardrobe" and with that Hetty left the ops centre. Callen and Nell had to go undercover as a married couple
