Ilse POV

I was watching some stupid film when someone knocked on the door. At first I ignored it, too lazy to stand up. But when they knocked for the fourth time I stood up and opened the door. "Heeeelllooooo" some guy that looked like Shaggy said. "We're looking for Eric" another guy said. "He is sleeping" I said turning to them. "Well, wake him" one said.

"And who are you?".

"I'm Callen, that's Sam, Kensi, Deeks". "You're from his work, yep got it. By the way I'm Ilse".

"I already called Hetty to say I'm off today" Eric said as he walked from the stairs.

Eric POV

I shot a 'Do not tell them' look at Ilse before I walked off the last stairs and stood next to her. "Guys I'm off today" I said. "We need you" Sam said but I didn't care. Not today. "I'm really sorry but can you please leave. I need rest". "Are you asking us to leave?" Kensi asked. "Yes I am asking that" I said now with a voice without any emotions. My voice was cold as stone. "Your voice" Ilse whispered and I took a deep breath, trying to get it back to normal. "Can you please leave?" Ilse asked kindly. "You know what we can also ask Nell. She answers way more happier than you, Eric" Callen said and walked away. Everybody except Deeks left. Deeks shot a glare to me that he didn't know anything why Callen was so cold to me. "It's okay. Go or you will miss your ride back" I said and he smiled as he ran back to his car. I closed the door and Ilse looked at me. "Why don't you tell them? They will understand it" she said. "Because they don't know anything about her or my childhood. If you can call it a childhood" I explained and got back to my bedroom.
