Chapter 7
Hetty put the phone down and Called Sam into her office.
"We have a problem, Mr. Hanna." She said, she filled Sam in on what Deeks had just told her.
"No! He wouldn't have murdered them, "Sam knew his partner and nothing would convince him that Callen was guilty of this.
"You may be right I'm having Eric pull up any footage he can get from outside the warehouse," Hetty replied and she and Sam walked up the stairs to OPS.
"Eric we need any footage you can get from Mr. Deeks and Miss Blyes' position." Hetty said.
"Hetty, Callens there, or he was as Kensi and Deeks came out on the roof." Eric said he pulled up the footage of Callen listening into Kensi and Deeks' conversation and they watched as he staggered back. With a disbelieving look on his face and a tear running down his cheek, then they watched as a steely look crossed his face and all emotion was gone.
Sam was more worried than he had ever been, Callen was his partner and his every instinct was to be there to protect him. His anger at hearing what Deeks and Kensi said was quickly abated by his concern for Callen and he tried to rack his brains to think what Callens next move would be.
"Eric run the footage back, we need to find out what really happened."Sam snapped.
Kensi and Deeks arrived back at the mission and walked into OPS, just as Eric got to when the Serbians arrived.
Sam shot them a look, "Callen was there and he heard you." He said accusingly to Deeks. Kensi's eyes widened in shock, and then she stood between Sam and her partner.
"We found his badge at the scene and SIG casings on the floor, considering what you guys have told me about his state of mind Deeks came to a logical assumption." She stood squared up to him.
"I got something." Eric said diffusing the tension, Hetty and the others looked at the screen.
The Serbians got out of the car and walked into the warehouse, Three minutes later a black SUV pulled up an older man walked out and walked into the warehouse, shots rang out and the man walked back out got in the SUV and drove off.
"Eric, zoom in on his face and get me an ID." Sam said.
"No, Mr. Beale this file is to be immediately classified and sealed. Send to my laptop and destroy all copies." Hetty ordered.
"Hetty? But this proves G didn't do it we have to find that man," Sam argued.
Hetty didn't reply she walked out of OPS and went straight to her office.
She picked up a phone and dialed a number, "You were sloppy." She said to the man on the other end.
"I don't care if you are protecting him Mongoose, you're hurting him too." She continued. "And you're endangering your cover."
Sam walked up behind her. "I'll protect our Mr. Callen, Just...NO!" She visibly slumped, "We are getting too old for this. I'll keep in touch." She replace the receiver, Sam backed off confused by what he had heard.
"Mr. Hanna," Sam jumped, "That conversation was confidential, and I hope you will treat it as such,"
"Yes Hetty," Sam replied,
"Can you be here for 8am, I will hopefully be able to fill you in more then," She said and grabbed her bag, stepped off her stool and left.
Callen arrived at Hettys' house and climbed over the back wall, he allowed himself a small laugh at the ease he was able to break her alarm code and get into her house.
He grabbed a drink from the fridge and made himself a sandwich, one thing he remembered from his days in the CIA if there was an opportunity to have food he knew was safe, he should take it.
He sat on the sofa and knowing it would really annoy Hetty, he put his feet up on her coffee table. And unholstered his SIG, placed it in his lap and waited.
Just after dark he heard the door open and Hetty enter the alarm code. She put her bag down and walked into the living room, "Mr. Callen," She said without any hint of surprise, "Do you mind removing your feet from my coffee table"
Callen cocked his gun, "Hetty, we need to talk." He smirked with the kind of smile that made most people's blood run cold.
"Are you planning on shooting me?" She asked taking a seat.
"Just needed protection, I'm not sure who to trust right now."Callen admitted, "I didn't kill the Serbians," he added quietly "But they didn't believe me,"
"I know," Hetty said.
"I need to know what you know." Callen demanded leveling the gun at her, "I don't want to shoot you but I can't go on like this, WHO is following me? What do you know that I don't?"
"A great many things Mr. Callen," Hetty said cryptically. "All I can tell you is the Serbians are after an operative code named Mongoose and you are being used as bait to get to him, probably due to your work in the CIA" she finished but Callen noticed how she looked aside as she told it.
"Hetty," He growled, "You're still keeping secrets aren't you?"
"Yes, Mr. Callen although some are concerning you most aren't and they are not mine to share."
Callen slammed his hand down on the table in frustration.
"Come back to OSP, Mr. Callen." Hetty offered, "We will sort out this mess and maybe find you some answers."
"I don't think that would be a good idea." Callen said.
"Trust your team to have your back," Hetty said.
"Why!" Callen snapped, "They don't trust me."
"You should give them more credit Mr. Callen, They make mistakes but they care about you."
"Why?" Callen snapped defensively.
"Oh, Mr. Callen. They are your teammates; they need you as much as you need them,"
"I don't need them, I can do this myself." Callen got up and paced the room. "I just need the information you have; I need to know what you got on the note."
"The note was clean." Hetty said.
"You're lying!" Callen raised the gun at Hetty.
"All I can tell you is the note was from Mongoose, he's been keeping tabs on you for years." Hetty admitted.
"Is...Is he my father?" Callen asked actually afraid of what her answer would be.
"Yes." Hetty said simply.
"And you KNEW! You knew where he was all this time!" Callen shouted at her.
"Mr. Callen." Hetty took a step towards him. Callen stepped back and knocked into an end table, smashing a lamp. Hetty raised her eyebrows, usually she would have told him how much that lamp cost but she could see the conflicting emotions swirling on his face.
He sat heavily on the sofa, "Why hasn't he come and got me." He was totally broken, the one person he had trusted totally lied to him and he couldn't leave she was the one with the answers.
Hetty got up and made Callen a glass of water; while he was trying to get his head together she sent Sam a text message on his cell so he would come to her home and help bring Callen in.
"What's his name? I mean what is my father's name?" Callen asked her.
"I don't know he's always been known as Mongoose, which was his codename, I only ever knew your mothers name which was Clara," Hetty decided it was time he knew what she was cleared to tell him.
"How could you know this and not tell me you knew how important finding my family was to me!"
"How would me telling you about your mother and sister make a difference, they wouldn't have been any less dead." Hetty appeared cold but he had to understand how important he not knowing was.
"I would have had a place to start." Callen sulked. "Do you know my name?"
"No. all I had was the CIA Intel from when we tried to extract your family from Romania." She paused so he could realize she had been on the extraction team, "By the time we got there your mother was dead, your father was missing and you and Amy were hiding inside a world war two bunker off the Strada Lebedei.
Callen had a flash of being in a concrete room, being held by Amy and both of them crying and a small woman picking them up and telling them they were going to be safe.
Callen looked up shocked, "You...you saved us!"
Hetty nodded, "We brought you back to Los Angeles."
"Why did you split us up?" Callen breathed tears unashamedly falling now.
"To keep you both safe. The Comescus were looking for you both." Hetty explained
"I need to find him, How do you contact him?" Callen asked.
Hetty shook her head, "I won't contact him,"
Callen snapped his head up and his eyes went dark with fury, "HETTY!"
"Do you think we went through all we did, just for you to expose him now."
Callen raised his gun at Hetty shaking with anger.
"Callen put the gun down."Sam said holding his gun on his partner.
