A/N: I know this chapter is kinda boring but it's mostly a filler chapter and a getting to know how Maddie interacts with everyone. Also I put a scene from one of the episodes in here. I just love their banter sometimes and couldn't resist from putting them in my stories.

Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS: Los Angeles at all. I only own Maddie. I hope you Enjoy it. Review please and please be patient!


Morning came and Sam picked up Callen and Maddie at 8:30 and the three of them went to breakfast together at a local diner.

"So how did you sleep last night Maddie?" Sam asked as they watched her eat just a thing of hash browns.

"Great. I haven't gotten a full night's sleep in….." she started, "it was great."

"Good to hear."

"You sure you don't want anymore food?" Callen asked worried she wasn't eating enough.

"Yeah this is enough. I just…" Maddie started but then decided against it.

"Maddie we won't judge you. I hope you know that." Sam told her.

"its just…yesterday had been my first full meal in about…well a long time. And I ate the whole thing I was so hungry I almost throw it up. I hadn't eat that much food at one time in a while." She told them looking at her food.

Callen and Sam looked at each other, wondering just how much she had been through in the last 2 years. Callen put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her a little closer.

"Well, we will change that." Callen said looking at her before leaning close and whispering, "Ok?"

She nodded and smiled at the two of them before finishing her food as they talked back and forth. They were soon on their way to OPS. Maddie smiled remembering getting up that morning.

*Flashback*

Maddie stirred awake after a night of pleasant dreams and a full night sleep to find Callen not in bed, but she could hear the shower running. She smiled contently and fell onto the pillow again bringing the blanket up around her. A few minutes later Callen walked out with jeans on and pulling a shirt over his head.

"Maddie?" he asked not sure if she was awake. He didn't really want to wake her up since she probably could use the sleep but Hetty wanted her to come in too.

"Yeah?" she replied sleepy turning over to look at him.

Callen chuckled. "You can showering if you'd like. Sam should be here in a half hour. I let you sleep as long as I could."

She nodded, "Ok."

"Oh and Maddie, do you have any clean clothes to wear?" Callen asked as she was about to into the bathroom.

"Um. Clean enough." She said looking guilty.

"Here. Wear this today and we'll get Hetty to let you borrow some clothes until we go shopping." He said tossing her another shirt of his.

"Ok." She replied before coming and wrapping her arms around him in a hug. "Thank you."

"Your welcome. Now go shower." He told her laughing quietly.

*End Flashback*

Today had been the first day in a long time that she woke up happy, and feeling safe. It might have been due to the fact she was actually in a house, or she was with someone and not lonely or the simple fact that she was with him, her Uncle G. She also remembered him telling her she didn't have to bring all of her stuff everywhere. She wasn't use to just carrying a bag of only the things she needed for the day like she was now.

Today she only had an over the shoulder back with her laptop, a notebook that she writes and draws in, her phone and iPod. That's all she brought with her and she felt naked without all her stuff. Yet she trusted her newfound Uncle so she left her stuff with his things at the house.

Arriving at OPS they went straight to the their area first. Maddie once again set her stuff down by the couch and plopped down on the couch. Callen joined her sitting down and reading a newspaper while Sam went to put some stuff in his locker by the couches.

"You wanna know what young people say they want to be when they grow up?" Sam asked putting his stuff away.

"Probably not a navy seal." Callen replied still flipping through the newspaper, causing Maddie to giggle.

"Ha-ha. No not a teacher, or an astronaut or anything that requires effort. All kids wanna be is famous." He said.

"And girls just wanna have fun. Like fame is nothing new." Callen answered.

"Good Morning guys." a man with dark brown hair said walking in going to the lockers next to Sam.

"Morning Nate. Good workout?" Said Sam.

"Yeah I maxed out the delts, feelin that," this Nate person said stretching his arms. "And my glutes, keeping my glutes in shape."

"A guy carves a 10 foot human out of stone and buries it. Then he discovers a petrified giant. Media has frenzy, people come from all over. A story of instant celebrity. A story from, drum roll people,1868. There's sucker born every minute." Callen told them glancing at Maddie who was smiling and shaking her head.

"Actually Barnum never said the famous quotation. Barnum made a second stone giant, then the guy who owned the first one said the people who saw Barnum's were suckers." Nate stated.

"So we celebrate Barnum for a quote he never said, about a phony replica of crock-pot hoax." Said Callen folding up his newspaper and getting up and heading towards his desk. Only to find Deeks coming in yawning. "Morning Deeks. Long night?"

Deeks rolled his eyes, "Yeah yeah." He mumbled sitting down.

"Morning!" Kensi chimed in coming to sit down. "Good Morning Maddie."

"Hi." Maddie replied from the couch.

"Maddie's here?" Deeks said leaning to look around the pillar blocking his view. "Hi Maddie."

Callen rolled his eyes at Maddie who laughed. "Hi Deeks."

"Now Maddie," Deeks started as he got up to go talk to her, "I w…."

"Mr. Deeks if you would kindly sit down so as not to get yourself killed. It would be greatly appreciated." Hetty said walking in.

"Getting myself killed?" Deeks asked confused.

Hetty glanced from Maddie to Callen before looking at Deeks who was a little slow on the uptake.

"Callen will hurt you if you try anything with her." Kensi said filling in for Hetty.

"Oh…Oooh!" He said finally getting it. Maddie just laughed and got up to sit in a chair that Callen pulled up for her.

"Now since we do not have a case today, I would suggest catching up on some paper work for all of you." Hetty said looking around. "Ms. Maddie if you would accompany me up to see Mr. Beal we can figure out what you did to hack our system and therefore hopefully prevent it. Then you and Mr. Callen I believe have a lot to talk about and discuss. So follow me if you will."

"Um…ok." Maddie said slightly nervous.

"You think he's going to be upset with me?" Maddie whispered leaning towards Callen.

"No, you'll be fine." Callen told her. "He'll probably be impressed and then in love with you for figuring it out. Now that I think about it, I'm coming with you."

Maddie started to laugh, when she realized she was still in Callen's shirt that he let her borrow. "Oh and G?"

"Yeah?"

"My shirt?"

"Oh right. Hey Hetty."

"Yes Mr. Callen?"

"Do you think Maddie could borrow some clothes?"

Hetty took in Maddie's appearance with Callen's huge long sleeve shirt, her slightly dirt looking jeans and tennis shoes. Hetty nodded.

"Right this way. We'll get you some before going to see Mr. Beal." Hetty replied gesturing towards the clothing section. Maddie then smiled at Callen and walked over with Hetty towards the clothes.

Maddie tried on the clothes Hetty gave her to try on and came out in tight fitted jeans, her tennis shoes, and a fitted purple and blue long sleeve shirt.

"Much better." Hetty told her approving the outfit.

"I'll clean it tonight and bring it back." Maddie told her.

"Nonsense thinking of this as a gift. A starting outfit to the clothes Mr. Callen and you are going to get soon."

"Thank you." She said quietly.

"Not a problem. Now let's go."

And off they went to see Eric. They walked in to find Eric in a room with all computers and monitoring screens. It was the coolest room Maddie had ever seen and she loved it.

"Mr. Beal, I would like to introduce you to Maddie Callen, Maddie this is our technical operator along with Ms. Jones who is our intelligence analyst." Hetty said introducing everyone.

"Hi nice to meet you two." Maddie said.

"You too. You can call me Eric." Eric replied.

"And call me Nell but nice to meet you too."

"Very good now, on to the matter at hand. Ms. Jones, Mr. Beal, Ms. Maddie is here to help you two. She is hopefully going to show you how she hacked our system without being detected and then you are going to hopefully prevent it from happening again. Understood?"

"Yep." Eric replied. "We'll see what we can do Hetty."

"Very well, if you need anything you know where to find me. And also Ms. Maddie, here is Mr. Callen's number since I'm sure he has forgotten to give it to you along the rest of the members downstairs and mine, incase you need any of us at anytime."

"Thank you Hetty."

"Good, now get to work you three." Hetty told them before walking out and back down to her office. Once she left Maddie pulled up a chair and turned to them.

"I'm really sorry. I hope you guys are angry." Maddie started off. "I just….I really needed to find him."

"We aren't upset! Just a little….." Nell told her.

"shocked….and impressed." Eric filled in for Nell.

"Yes. Those things." Nell said causing Maddie to laugh and feel relieved.

"Good. Now shall we?"

"Show us the way!" Eric exclaimed.

The next few hours was spent showing Eric and Nell how exactly she got into the NCIS system without being detected and then trying to prevent it from happening again. Finally around 1 in the afternoon they finished and she could no long hacked into the system without them knowing. Maddie had come to really admire them not only for their skills what they do but they were corky and fun to talk too.

Maddie was getting hungry though so once she was done she headed downstairs in search of Callen, finding him and the rest of them talking, on the computers or doing paper work.

"How'd it go?" Callen asked when he saw her.

"Good. We figured it out. They're really cool though. I like them." Maddie told him coming to sit down again.

"Good. You hungry?" he asked her.

"Yeah." She said shyly.

Callen laughed quietly. "Good let's go eat. I order us some food and we can go eat in Nate's offices he said."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, that way we can talk too." He added softly.

"Ok. I'd like that." She replied in the same tone.

"Good, come on."
