Callen, Sam and Kensi saw the whole thing happen.
"Damn it, I told you we should have moved in earlier," Callen said as they were getting ready to move in.
"What the hell did you do for?" Richards said.
"Like is said I don't trust new people and I don't trust you," the man said and he aimed his gun at Richards and shot him as well.
"Freeze, Federal agents!" Callen, Sam and Kensi shouted as they arrived on the dock.
The 3 man pointed their guns towards them. Before they could pull the trigger Callen, Sam and Kensi shot them. The 3 of them where all dead, Richards was dead as well. Callen rushed to his wife to see how she was doing.
"Eric, we need 2 ambulances. Deeks and Jenny are down," Sam said through the com.
"On their way Sam," Eric said.
"Jenny, come on honey, don't do this to me," Callen said as he picked up his wife and held her in his arms.
Jenny opened her eyes briefly and said: "G."
"Easy honey, I'm here. It's gonna be okay, ambulance is on its way. It's gonna be okay, just stay with me honey."
Kensi had gone to check on Deeks he opened his eyes briefly too. 10 minutes later the ambulances arrived and they took Deeks and Jenny to the hospital where they were rushed into surgery. Callen, Sam and Kensi were sitting in the waiting area waiting for Deeks and Jenny to come out of surgery. After an hour Deeks came out of surgery.
"How is he doctor?" Kensi asked.
"Luckily the bullet didn't hit any vital organs. We managed to stop the bleeding. He should wake up within an hour or so," the doctor said.
Kensi went with the doctor to stay with Deeks. Callen and Sam stayed in the waiting area.
"If Deeks makes it and Jenny doesn't, I swear I'm gonna kill him," Callen said.
"Let's just wait for Jenny to come out of surgery first okay," Sam said.
An hour later Jenny came out of surgery.
"How is she?" Callen asked.
"She lost a lot of blood and the bullet hit her spleen. We had to take it out. It will be a couple hours before she should wake up," the doctor said.
Callen followed the doctor to Jenny's room. Sam went back to the office.
Callen sat next to his wife. He held her hand.
"Come on baby, be strong honey, I can't lose you, I love you."
Kensi walked into the room.
"How is she doing?" Kensi asked.
"She hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said she lost a lot of blood and they had to take out her spleen," Callen said.
"She's strong, she'll pull through."
"I hope you're right. How's Deeks?"
"He just woke up. He's doing okay. Please don't go and yell at him. He needs his rest."
"He's awake, Jenny isn't. The fact that she's lying here is his fault, he was supposed to protect her. I should have never let her go undercover."
"She'll be alright. I'm going back to OPS. You're staying here with Jenny?"
"Yeah, I wanna be here when she wakes up."
"Hang it there."
Sam arrived at the office.
"What the hell happened out there, Mr. Hanna?" Hetty said when Sam walked into her office.
"Don't know. Out of nowhere he pulled out his gun and he shot Jenny and Deeks," Sam said.
"How are they?"
"They are both out of surgery. The doctor said they should be fine."
"How's Mr. Callen?"
"He's hanging in there."
"Keep an eye on him Mr. Hanna."
Sam walked upstairs to see Eric. Kensi had joined them too. The case wasn't over yet. They still needed to get the guys who broke into Pendleton. Richards was the man behind it all but he had inside help.
Callen was still at the hospital. Jenny hadn't woken up yet when Jenny's sister Julie walked in.
"How is she doing?" Julie asked Callen.
"She's hanging in there," Callen said.
"What happened?"
"She got shot in the stomach when she was out in the field."
Callen's phone rang. It was Hetty.
"Hetty," Callen said as he answered the phone.
"How's Jenny, Mr. Callen?" Hetty asked.
"She's hanging in there. Hasn't woken up yet."
"We need you back here in OPS. We found the guys who broke into Pendleton."
"I don't wanna leave Jenny."
"You can go, I'll keep an eye on her," Julie said.
"Fine. I'm on my way. You stay with her. If she wakes up, tell her I'll be back later."
"Will do. Just get the guys who are responsible for this."
Callen left the hospital and joined up with the rest of the team. While Callen was at work Jenny had woken up.
"Julie," Jenny said.
"Hey Jenny, how are you feeling?" Julie asked.
"Like I just got shot. Where's G?"
"He had to go to work. He'll be back later."
A couple hours later the team had arrested the guys who broke into Pendleton and the guy who had helped them from the inside and Callen returned to the hospital to see how Jenny was doing.
Julie was standing in front of the bed so Callen couldn't see if his wife was awake or not.
"How is she doing, Julie?" Callen asked as he walked into the room.
"Why don't you ask her yourself," Julie said and she stepped aside.
"Jenny, you're awake."
"Hi G."
Callen walked up to Jenny and gave her a kiss.
"I'm glad you're awake. I was worried about you."
"I have to go pick up the kids, I'll see you guys later," Julie said and she left the hospital.
"How are you feeling?" Callen asked.
"I've been better. Little bit weak."
"The doctor said you lost a lot of blood. They also had to take out your spleen. But there was no further damage. The doctor said that with some rest you should be back on your feet in a couple weeks."
"How's Deeks?"
"He's doing okay, woke up a couple hours ago."
"So you haven't killed him yet?"
"No not yet, I wanted to wait and see I you would wake up. I'm not gonna kill him but I'm still gonna yell at him. He should've kept you safe."
"This was not his fault. That guy pulled his gun out of nowhere."
"Still, he's a cop. You're not. It was his job to keep you safe."
"Go easy on him okay. I know how you get. But I'm fine so there's no need for you to go yell at him."
"You're my wife. I don't like it when you get hurt. I'm just glad you're okay. I was so scared that I was going to lose you."
3 weeks later Deeks and Jenny returned to work. Deeks walked into the bullpen, Kensi was already there.
"Morning Kens," Deeks said.
"Morning Deeks, Ready for work again?" Kensi said.
"Yep I'm back and ready to go. Should I be worried about Callen? I mean is he mad at me for what happened to Jenny."
"I don't think so, but just to be sure I'd stay out of his way."
A few minutes later Callen and Sam walked in.
"Morning," Callen and Sam said.
"Morning," Deeks and Kensi said.
"Well well Deeks, you're back," Callen said.
"Yep I'm back. How's Jenny? She's returning to work today as well right?"
"Jenny's fine, no thanks to you."
"Hey look man, I'm sorry. That guy pulled his gun out of nowhere. I tried to get her away from there but he had already shot me."
"You were supposed to watch out for her. You are a cop; she's just an Intelligence analyst. I warned you before you left that you needed to keep her safe!"
"I said I'm sorry, what more do you want me to say?"
Callen got up from his chair and walked towards Deeks. At that moment Eric whistled.
"New case guys," Eric said.
They walked upstairs.
"Saved by the whistle," Deeks said.
Eric and Jenny explained the case to them and the team left to go see the crime scene. Kensi and Deeks went to see the victim's family. Callen and Sam returned to the office.
"Mr. Callen, a word with you," Hetty said when Callen and Sam walked into the office.
"What is it, Hetty?" Callen said as he walked into Hetty's office.
"I don't like it when my agents fight amongst each other, Mr. Callen.
"What are you talking about Hetty? Everything is fine."
"I'm talking about you and Mr. Deeks this morning."
"Hetty….."
"I know you were worried about your wife and that you're upset about what happened to her, but what happened wasn't Deeks's fault. And seeing how Jenny is fine, I suggest you let it rest." Callen gave Hetty a look. "I mean it, Mr. Callen. Don't make me kick your butt all the way home."
Callen chuckled and he left the office.
At the end of the day Jenny walked downstairs to see if Callen was ready to go home. Kensi just left the bullpen and only Deeks was sitting there.
"Hey Deeks, have you seen G?" Jenny said.
"I'm sure he's around here somewhere. How was your first day back?" Deeks said.
"Fine, glad to be back. I hated sitting at home. Yours?"
"Fine too. Listen, is Callen really mad at me?"
"I wouldn't worry about it too much, he's just looking out for me."
"I had the feeling he blamed me for what happened out there."
"His wife was shot, he needed to blame someone I guess."
At that moment Callen walked in.
"Hey G, you're ready to go home?" Jenny said.
"Yeah, let me just grab my stuff," Callen said. He looked over to Deeks. "Look Deeks, I'm sorry about earlier. I'm sorry that I yelled at you."
"Don't worry about it man, it's all good."
Deeks stood up and the clapped hands.
"Glad to have you back. See you tomorrow," Callen said.
"See you tomorrow guys," Deeks said.
"How do you feel about doing something nice together tonight?" Callen said as they were walking towards the car.
"Like what?" Jenny said.
"Maybe go out for dinner and afterwards maybe take a walk down the beach, see the sunset."
"I'd like that."
Callen and Jenny went to dinner and afterwards they went to beach. They sat on the beach and enjoyed the sunset. Callen got up and ran towards the water.
"Come on Jenny, get in," Callen said as he jumped in the ocean.
"Didn't anyone tell you you're not supposed to swim right after dinner?"
"Ah right, Aw cramp, cramp," Callen said as he faked a cramp trying to get Jenny in the water. "Ah come on Jenny, the water is great."
Jenny got up and jumped in the water as well. Callen and Jenny swam around in the water. They were laughing and splashing each other with water.
"Ah stop it," Jenny said.
"Stop it? You started it."
Jenny swam up to Callen and kissed him.
"I love you," Jenny said.
"I love you too. Come on we should go home its getting dark."
They went home and they made love.
…..
Eric whistled and said: "You hear the shrill, you know the drill."
The team walked upstairs.
"What have we got?" Callen said.
"Just after 7 this morning Commander Daniel Jenkins got kidnapped. About a half an hour ago they sent this video to Washington and they sent it to us," Jenny said.
Jenny played the video. The kidnappers demanded 3 million dollars in 12 hours or they would kill Commander Jenkins.
"What do we know about Commander Jenkins?" Kensi asked.
"He works with Naval Intelligence on a highly classified mission. I tried to find out what he was worked on but couldn't find anything. it was all blocked," Nell said.
"Do we know anything about the guys who kidnapped him?" Sam said.
"No, none so far. We're still analyzing the video trying to find out where it was taken. LAPD found his car about 2 blocks from his house. Send the address to your phones," Eric said.
"Thanks Eric. Kensi, Deeks, you talk to his next of kin see if they know anything," Callen said and he and Sam left the office.
Kensi and Deeks went after them to see his next of kin.
Callen and Sam came back to the office after examining the crime scene.
"Hey, do you guys have something more?" Callen said as they walked into OPS.
"Still analyzing the video," Eric said.
"I tried to find out what he was working about but it's classified. I can't find anything about the mission. I did however found Captain Riley Thomas. He is Commander Jenkins's boss," Jenny said.
"Can you get in touch with him? Ask him to meet us at the boatshed," Callen said.
"Okay, I'll try."
Jenny picked up the phone and called Captain Thomas. She knew him from when she was working with Naval Intelligence.
"Hi, Captain Thomas, please," Jenny said.
"Yes and you name please," the woman on the other end of the phone said.
"Jenny Hathaway."
"One moment please."
"Hi Jenny, how are you?" Captain Thomas said.
"I'm good. I'm sorry to hear about Commander Jenkins."
"Yeah so am I, we'll get him back. Is that the reason you're calling?"
"Yes it is."
"You're NCIS?"
"Yep, intelligence analyst for the OSP. I called you about the mission Commander Jenkins was working on. We're trying to find out if any information has been leaked and if our operations have been compromised, but when I try to look it up I get blocked."
"Yeah, we have it all blocked, he was working on highly classified material, material that in the wrong hands could be disastrous for our country."
"Care to share that information. The more we know, the more chance we have of getting him back alive."
"Fine, but not over the phone. Meet me in person."
"Alright, we have a safe house. I'll send you the address."
"Fine, but I'm only talking to you, one intelligence analyst to another, not to any of the other agents."
"Fine, meet me in hour."
Jenny hung up the phone.
"He has agreed to meet us?" Callen asked.
"Yes, he'll be in the boatshed in an hour. But he said that he would only talk to me, not to any of the agents."
"So he wants to talk to you, alone?"
"Yes, we know each other from when I was working with the Naval Intelligence. He knows he can trust me."
"Fine, but we will be close by keeping an eye on things. Just in case it's a trap."
Jenny went to the boatshed. Callen and Sam followed her and stayed about a mile away.
"Captain Thomas, thank you for meeting me," Jenny said.
"Please call me Riley, after all we know each other pretty well, don't we Jenny. So you joined NCIS?"
"Yep, been there for almost 2 years now. I like it. We really have a nice team."
"How about your mother's death, have you find out anything more?"
"No, none. They stopped looking into the case a couple years ago. Trying to find answers myself but so far I haven't found any. So the case, what was Commander Jenkins working on?"
"What, no small talk?"
"We don't have any time, if we want to get Commander Jenkins back."
Captain explained to Jenny what Commander Jenkins was working on.
"So, your brother is still with the SEAL's?" Riley asked.
"Yep, he is a platoon officer with SEAL team 3."
"It's been a long time since I last saw you Jenny. You look good. I haven't seen you since that day you walked off. You never gave me a chance to explain," Riley said as they were walking outside to their cars.
"What was there to explain? I caught you in bed with another woman."
Callen and Sam were in their car and watched as Jenny and Riley came outside.
"How well do you think they knew each other?" Sam asked.
"Don't know, I assume they worked pretty close together when Jenny was with the Naval Intelligence," Callen said.
"Yes I know that and I'm sorry for that. I never meant to hurt you," Riley said.
"Too late, I've moved on. I suggest you do the same."
"Come on Jenny, can't we at least give I another shot? I know what I did was wrong and I'm sorry for that. I've been beating myself up about what I did. I never meant to hurt you."
Riley put his hands on Jenny's cheeks and he kissed her.
"What the hell?" Callen said and he jumped out of the car and ran towards Jenny.
Jenny pushed Riley away from her.
"What the hell did you do for?!" Jenny said.
"I'm sorry, but I missed you so much," Riley said.
Riley tried to kiss Jenny again but Callen came running in and pushed him away from Jenny.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Callen said as he pushed him away.
"Hey buddy, mind your own business," Riley said and he pushed Callen out of the way.
"I am minding my own business," Callen said and he punched Riley in the face. He went down. "That's my wife, you son of a bitch. Get him out of here Sam."
"What the hell was that all about?" Callen asked.
"We were just talking and all of a sudden he tried to kiss me," Jenny said.
"Right, after you just met. You two knew each other from when you were in Naval Intelligence, right?"
"Yes, we worked together, when I just started at the Navy. But I knew him before that. He and my brother enlisted at the same time. They were pretty close then. My brother joined the SEAL's and he Naval Intelligence. I met him just after they were done training. That was just before I joined the Navy. We became pretty close. We even dated for a while."
"What happened between you two? Because from what I just saw he didn't think it was over between you two."
"Trust me honey, it's over between him and me. Long over. We broke up about a year before I met you. Things weren't going so greet between us and one day I came home and I found him in bed with another woman. I broke up with him after that."
"Well I'm not sure he agreed with you."
"Don't worry about it G. It's over between him and me. There is only one man that I love and wanna be with and that's you."
Jenny gave Callen a kiss.
"Don't worry G. I'm yours and yours only. There is no one else. You are my husband and I love you."
Jenny gave Callen another kiss.
"Did he tell you anything useful?" Callen asked.
"Yes he explained the mission to me. I can't go into much details but he was working on highly classified information for a new operation in Afghanistan. As far as he knew there wasn't anything that would suggest they have been compromised. So I could be just a coincidence that he's a Naval Intelligence Commander."
"Come on let's head back to OPS, maybe Kensi and Deeks found out something from his wife."
Callen and Jenny went back to OPS and they solved the case.
…..
Jenny and Nell were busy with the case upstairs when Callen walked in.
"Hey Jenny, have you seen Hetty around?" Callen said.
"No, not since this morning," Jenny said.
"Damn….. What are you doing?"
"Just looking for Bacon."
"Bacon?"
"Yeah as in the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Cluster analysis? Well basically I'm trying to find a common vector.
"Good luck with that."
About a half an hour later…
"Yes, I got Bacon," Jenny said pretty loudly from up in OPS. Callen and Sam were sitting downstairs and they looked up as soon as they heard Jenny shouting.
"What the hell is Bacon?" Sam asked.
"It looks like Jenny found something," Callen said.
Jenny came walking down the stairs and explained to Callen and Sam what she had found. She gave them an address and Callen and Sam went to check it out.
"Hi Mrs. Callen," Hetty said.
"Hi Hetty," Jenny said.
"How are you and Mr. Callen doing?"
"We're doing fine."
"I'm glad for you both. You both deserve to be happy and I'm happy that Mr. Callen has found a girl like you to share his life with. Take good care of him."
"I will Hetty."
Hetty went back to her office and Jenny walked back upstairs. After a few minutes Hetty left the office. 10 minutes later someone came walking into OPS. Jenny and Eric hadn't seen her before.
"Who are you?" Eric said as she walked in.
"I'm Lauren Hunter, Ms. Lange's replacement," the woman said.
"Her replacement?" Jenny said.
"Yes, Ms. Lange turned in her resignation, effective immediately."
Eric and Jenny looked at each other astonished. They couldn't believe Hetty had resigned. Hunter left for Hetty's office a couple minutes later Jenny and Eric followed her.
"Where is Hetty?" Jenny said.
"Hetty's gone, she's not coming back. Now if you would excuse me, I've got some work to do," Hunter said.
A few minutes later the team walked into the office.
"Jenny, where's Hetty?" Callen said. "I've been calling you, Eric."
"I'm sorry. I….." Eric said.
"Why didn't you answer my calls? Where is she?"
"Ms. Lange. She's gone. She tendered her resignation, effective immediately," Hunter said.
"Who are you?" Sam said.
"Lauren Hunter, her replacement."
"Is this a joke?" Kensi said.
"I'm not much of a joker… Agent Blye."
"Jenny, get me Director Vance on the phone," Callen said.
"That won't be necessary. Director Vance in coming online in OPS to brief you all in a minute, Agent Callen I'd like to have a word with you in my office when you're finished."
They went upstairs and spoke with Director Vance adn after that they went home.
"Why the hell did Hetty resign?" Callen said.
"I don't know, I'm as shocked as you are. She wouldn't just resign and not tell us. There must be more to it," Jenny said.
….
"I found Hetty," Nell said as she entered Hetty's office. "Well, not exactly, but we're on her trail. She bought an airline ticket to Prague. She also used a credit card to book into a hotel yesterday. And last night, she used the card to pay for a cab to an address in the west of the city. It like she doesn't care to bother covering up her tracks."
"Was it a one-way or roundtrip ticket?" Hunter asked.
"One-way."
"Comescu's people have Hetty," Callen said as they walked into the office.
"We'll find her. I'm putting the team on it," Vance said.
"You have a team."
"Not in Prague."
"How long have you known she's been in Prague?"
"Ms Jones just told me."
"I need a ticket on the next available flight."
"Not necessary. I'll send a team from the field office in Paris. You're not going to Prague."
"I speak Czech, I speak Romanian and I have contacts in Prague that can help us."
"You are no longer on this case, Agent Callen."
"Then give me a reason! Tell me why! What is Operation Comescu about?!"
"It's about you, Agent Callen. Operation Comescu is all about you. The Comescu is a Romanian crime family. Hetty found out they want you dead, Agent Callen."
"Why?" Jenny asked.
"Some sort of family feud as far as we can tell."
"I don't have any family."
"They probably mistake you for somebody else."
"Probably. Hetty was trying to protect me."
"And that's why you can't co to Prague."
"That is why… I have to go to Prague."
"Hetty is operating outside to authority of this agency. We'll send a team from Prague and you will not… you will not be a part of it."
Callen pulled out his gun and his badge and put it on Hetty's desk and then walked outside. Jenny followed him outside.
"G! Where are you going?"
"I'm going to get Hetty back," Callen said and he walked off.
"G!"
Sam, Kensi and Deeks came out behind her.
"Don't worry Jenny, I'll keep him save," Sam said.
Jenny walked back into the office.
"We have to do something to help. We can't let them go at it alone," Jenny said.
"I've send agent Hunter after them. She'll help to find Hetty. Don't worry, we'll get them all back," Vance said.
"They don't even know where to start looking for her."
"Ms. Jones uploaded all the information she gathered into the system. It's on their phones. This team is one of the best units NCIS has. They will find Hetty and bring her back. I want you, Mr. Beale and Ms. Jones to find out anything you can about the Comescu's."
Jenny, Eric and Nell went upstairs and went to work.
A couple days later the team returned with Hetty. Callen returned home.
"G, you're back!" Jenny said when she saw Callen walk in. She walked up to him and gave him a hug. "It's good to see you again. I was worried about you."
"It's good to see you too again," Callen said.
"How's Hetty?"
"She's gonna be fine. She still needs some time off to recuperate though."
"How are you?"
"I'm fine."
That night Callen and Jenny were lying in bed.
"What happened in Romania?" Jenny asked.
"Not much. We saved Hetty," Callen said.
"I meant with you. When you called home Director Vance said you were a long way from home, you said you weren't so sure now. Why?"
"I don't wanna talk about it."
"G, honey, you can tell me anything. Did it have something to do with your past?"
"I said I don't wanna talk about it!" Callen said and he stormed out the bedroom.
Jenny went out after him. She found him sitting on the stairs of the porch in the backyard.
"G, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you," Jenny said as she sat down next to him.
"It's okay honey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you," Callen said as he put his arm around her. Jenny leaned on his shoulder with her head and Callen gave her a kiss on her head.
"I'm just worried about you."
"There's no need to worry about me, I'm fine. I just don't feel like talking about what happened in Romania. But don't worry I'm fine."
"You know you can tell me anything, right. I'm here for you."
"I know honey. Come on, let's go back to bed."
The next day at the office Jenny went to talk to Sam. She really felt like something was bothering Callen. She was worried about him.
"Hey Sam, can I talk to you for a sec?" Jenny said.
"Sure Jenny. What's up?" Sam said.
"What happened in Romania? I have the feeling something is bothering G, but he won't talk to me about it. Should I be worried about him?"
"The Comescu's wanted him death and he remembered some things about his past."
"About his past?"
"Yeah, that's what he told me. I suggest you talk to him about what. Just be there for him when he tells you okay."
"I will Sam."
Jenny decided to let Callen tell her when he was ready and not pressure him into telling her. A couple days later Callen decided to tell Jenny what happened in Romania. They were sitting on the couch just watching some TV.
"You asked me what happened in Romania, well I remembered things from my past," Callen said.
"Things like what?" Jenny asked.
"You remember those memories I told you about when that guy handed me that toy soldier?"
"Yeah I remember."
"I always assumed it was somewhere here in LA but when I saw the beach in Romania I remembered that it wasn't here, it was in Romania. I was born there in Romania. When that guy handed me that toy soldier I was at the beach making sand castle. I also remember a woman, my mother, they shot her."
"They, being the Comescu's?"
"Yeah. They shot her at the beach with her son playing next to her."
"Oh G, I'm so sorry. So why did the Comescu's want you dead?"
"I don't know, I didn't find out."
"I'm sorry G. You will find out one day who your family was. I'm sure."
"I hope you're right. I'm only getting small pieces of the puzzle so far."
"That's at least better than no pieces at all."
Jenny put her arm around Callen and held him close to her.
"I'm here for you honey," Jenny said.
"I know and I'm thankful for that. It's nice to have someone to come home to at the end of the day."
The days at the office were pretty busy for Jenny. Since Hetty wasn't back yet she had taken on some of Hetty's tasks at work. The whole day she was walking around the office arranging everything. She was there till late at night finishing paperwork. Callen was worried about her, she was working too much. It was 11pm and Jenny was still at the office finishing paperwork when Callen walked up to her. He had already gone home earlier but had come back to get Jenny to go home too.
"Still busy I see," Callen said while he was standing in the doorway of the OPS center.
"G, you scared me. I didn't hear you come in. What are you doing here?" Jenny said.
"I came to see my wife and to take her back home."
"I'm still busy. I'll be home soon."
"You said that 4 hours ago when I went home. You've been doing this for a month and a half now. You're here every day from early in the morning till late at night. I haven't spent any time with you lately outside of work. I'm worried about you. You're working way too much."
"I'm fine G, no need to worry about me. I know I've been working a lot lately, but I have so much stuff I need to do."
"This will still be here tomorrow. Right now I'm taking you home."
"G…."
"No arguments honey, you're coming home with me. I would like to spend some time with my wife without all the work stuff."
"Fine, just let me put the stuff away and shut down."
They went home. Jenny put her bag on the floor and went to the bedroom to change into her pajamas to lounge around in for a bit before going to bed. When she had taken of her shirt Callen was standing behind her. He grabbed her by her waist and starting kissing her neck and her shoulders. Jenny turned around and kissed Callen. They fell onto the bed. They made love.
A couple of weeks later when Callen was in the shower Jenny received a call from Hetty.
"Jenny," Jenny said as she answered the phone.
"Hey Jenny, it's Hetty. Can you stop by later today and bring me some things from the office?" Hetty said.
"Sure, what do you need?"
"I'll send you a message with the things I need along with my address."
"Alright, see you."
They hung up the phone and Callen came out of the shower.
"Who were you talking to?" Callen asked.
"Oh just Hetty."
"You talked to Hetty? How was she? What did she want?"
"She just wanted me to bring over some stuff from the office."
"She asked you do to that?"
"Yeah, she's also the one who told me all the things I needed to take over from her until she's back."
"You talked to her before?"
"Yeah, after you just got back. She sent me an e-mail with all the things that needed to be taken care of."
"So you're like Hetty's assistant for now?"
"Yeah you could say that."
They went to work and after work Jenny stopped by Hetty's place to deliver the stuff she asked for. For the next few weeks Jenny continued to keep Hetty up to date with everything that happened at work and doing the things she had asked for.
Jenny was busy with some paperwork in Hetty's office when Callen walked in.
"Hi Jen," Callen said.
"Hi G,"
"What's the latest on Hetty?"
"She's at home recuperating and expected to return to work shortly."
"When?"
"Don't know. I'll see you later I've got a lot to do," Jenny said and went back upstairs.
At the end of the day Jenny and Callen went home and Jenny was making dinner for them.
"Is there something you're not telling me, Jenny?" Callen said.
"No, what makes you say that."
"I don't know. You've been working a lot lately. We've hardly spent any time together outside of work. I thought I told you that last month. I miss you when you're not at home."
"I know. I miss you too, but I've just got a lot of stuff to do at work. So much paperwork and destroying files and so many other things."
"I know you're busy, but you need some time to relax, if you keep this up for much longer you're gonna wear yourself out."
"It's sweet that you worry about me, but I'm fine really. I tell you what, why don't we go do something fun this weekend, just the two of us."
"Like what?"
"Well I've got these," Jenny said as she pulled out two tickets to this Saturday's basketball game, Lakers versus the Knicks, out of her pocket.
"Two tickets to the basketball game? Where did you get these?"
"My brother gave them to me. He had bought them, but he had to go the work this weekend so he couldn't go. So he gave them to me. He said that I could use them and to take you with me."
"Well that's nice of him."
…
Hetty had asked Jenny to go get a file for her she kept in the gun lockup in a safe. She gave Jenny the key and the combination and a briefcase where she needed to put the file in. Before work Jenny went to the gun lockup and grabbed the file from the safe. She saw it had Callen's name on it. She put it in the briefcase and brought it to Hetty.
"Hetty, what's in that envelop? I saw it had G's name on it."
"Oh it's nothing, just same work stuff."
"It doesn't have anything in it about his past? Because if it has he deserves to know."
"No it has nothing to do with that. How's everything at work?"
"Everything's fine. Everybody wants you back."
"They don't like Hunter?"
"I think it's got more to do with trust. They don't know her so they don't thrust her that easily."
"Well, tell them I'm expected to return shortly."
"Will do."
Jenny returned to work. She was busy with paperwork and delivering some mail to everyone downstairs. Callen and Sam were in Hetty's office.
"What's the latest on Hetty?" Sam asked when he saw Jenny.
Jenny was on the phone with somebody so she didn't answer them. They followed her trying to get an answer. Jenny hung up the phone.
"Hi. You both owe me a DTS from your last trip," Jenny said.
"What's the latest on Hetty, Jenny?" Callen asked
"She's at home and expecting to return shortly."
"Yeah, okay, you said the same thing last week," Callen said.
"And the week before that," Sam said.
"I'm just telling you what I know. I want her back just as much as you do. I've got three months of paperwork that needs to be done, files that need to be declassified and destroyed. And just because you don't see here doesn't mean she's not here. Now if you would excuse me I've got work to do," Jenny said and she went upstairs.
"Don't look at me G, she's your wife," Sam said.
They got a new case and Hunter explained they case to them. After the briefing the team went to work. Jenny was still running around trying to get the paperwork done when Hunter wanted to talk to her.
"Ms. Hathaway a moment, please," Hunter said.
"What is it? I've got a lot of work to do," Jenny said.
"How's that going? I see you constantly running around the office with your hands full of files."
"It's fine. Just stuff Hetty asked me to do."
"Care to enlighten me."
"Not really. It's just some paperwork."
"You don't trust me, do you?"
"I don't know you, at all. I trust Hetty. She asked me to take care of this stuff until she has returned. Now if you would excuse me I've got work to do," Jenny said as she starting the walk out of the office. "Oh and just for the record: it's not Ms. Hathaway any more, it's Mrs. Callen."
The next morning Jenny and Callen were getting ready to go to work.
"I'll see you at work. There's something I gotta do," Callen said.
"You okay?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'll see you at work."
"Where are you going?"
"To see Hetty," Callen said and he walked out the door.
….
Hetty returned to work and Hunter went back undercover. Hetty told Callen everything she knew about his family and why she went after the Comescu's. Afterwards Callen went to the gym to work out for a bit. Jenny had gone home in the meantime and went to do some grocery shopping. When she got home she noticed Callen wasn't home yet. She put away the groceries and started dinner. About 45 minutes later Callen returned home, dinner was almost ready. Jenny had already set the table.
"Ah good you're home G, dinner is almost ready," Jenny said.
"It smells great, I'm starving."
"Is something bothering you honey, you look a bit distracted?" Jenny said as they were eating.
"Hetty's back to the office," Callen said.
"Yeah I saw."
"She wanted to talk to me. She told me why she went after the Comescu's in order to protect me. It turned out she knew my mom."
"She knew your mom?"
"Yeah. They worked together when my mother was in the CIA, my grandfather was also in the CIA. He worked in Romania and he hunted down war criminals. Including the Comescu's. He was murdered. My grandmother fled to America with my mother. My mother went back as an undercover agent. After 6 years she was desperate to get out of Romania with me and my sister. Hetty tried to get her out of Romania but it was too late for her. They had already shot her."
"Hetty knew all these years? Why didn't she tell you before?"
"She said she couldn't tell me before, but now I was safe from the Comescu's and she couldn't hold on to the secrets anymore."
"What was your mother's name?"
"Her name was Clara."
"So now you know why Hetty went back there by herself. Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Oh I almost forget, you said earlier today you wanted to talk me."
"Oh yeah that's right."
"What did you want to tell me?"
"G…. I'm pregnant."
