A/N: Ok, so I couldn't stand the wait! 4 reviews for the story is close enough, right?


Ring-ring

Nell dashed from her room where she had been changing and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"I didn't think anyone had a home phone in LA, let alone listed it in the phonebook."
"Dad. What is it?"
"Well I didn't want to mention the real reason your mother and I were here in front of your friend."
"Fiancé. "
"Right well…Nell, he's here."
"I know he is. I found out at work this morning. Bur how did you know?"
"He left a note at the house. Listen, you've got to get ou-"

The line went dead and Nell looked at the phone. Uneasiness washed over her and she picked up her cell phone and pressed speed dial.
"Hello?" Callen's voice came over the line.
"Callen, there's a problem. Can you hurry-"
Suddenly the phone was knocked from Nell's hand and she heard it shatter. A hand slipped around her waist.

"Did you miss me baby?"


Callen looked at his phone and quickly redialed Nell.
"Hi you've reached Nell! Sorry I can't take your call-"
Callen punched end and called her house.
"The number you are trying to reach is unavailable at this time. Thank you."
Panic set in and Callen pressed the accelerator, going over the speed limit. He got to her house five minutes later and walked silently to her door. He drew his weapon and pushed open the ajar door. The house was silent but then he heard heavy breathing. He switched on the light. "Nell?" He saw ginger hair peek from behind the couch and suddenly a trembling Nell was in his arms. She clung to him tightly. "Nell, is there anyone here?"

"He left when he heard you pull in."
Callen laid his weapon down and picked her up. He walked to the couch and sat down. Nell curled up in his lap and sobbed into his shoulder.
'It's ok. I'm here now."

When her crying ceased he put a finger under her chin and lifted her face. "Are you ok?" She nodded.
"What happened?"
"My ex-boyfriend." she whispered. He looked down at her and noticed her shirt was torn down the middle and there were cuts on her stomach. "Did he…"
Nell shook her head. "You got here just in time."
"Who is he?"
"Kyle Jackson."
"The Kyle Jackson who escaped from prison yesterday?"
She nodded. "That's why my parents are here. My dad called me when I got home to warn me, and then the line went dead. I got this bad feeling so I called you. Then he knocked the phone from my phone and…" she started crying again.
"It's ok sweetheart. I'm here now."
