Episode : Ambush

Dear Diary,

Things did get a bit hot in there today, but in the end we got them, the missiles back and the bad guys locked up. And, admittedly, the success had a hell of a lot to do with Hetty. I knew she had pull in high places but it's rare to see that out in the open. Usually Hetty just hints. But an F22 flyover – that, I have to say, was cool and perfectly timed – though personally I wouldn't have minded it happening just a minute or two earlier.

I know she worries about us, and after the fact, I realised that all of this would bring back memories of Sullivan. But Sullivan was fairly new. I'm not, Sam's not, neither is Renko. Kensi might be a little and I guess since I doubt I'll stop worrying about Kensi at little more than Sam, neither will Hetty. Not that Kensi isn't good, she's just … She's our girl and whether she likes it or not, that's going to mean we are going to worry about her just a little bit more. Call it a protective male instinct.

As for Sam, my head still hurts and I'm a little peeved at him but colour coded reports and bursting in when I had everything under control – mostly – aside, there isn't anyone I would have preferred to have my back than Sam. After all, he is occasionally right. I really did think the guy would have stopped.

Jay should be all right. He seemed like a good kid who just got caught up in the wrong place with the wrong people. He's got a mum who seems like she's a good one. Be interesting to see where he goes. His heart's in the right place and he's definitely learnt from this. Maybe I'll see him around again one day. Maybe he'll even join up. Get in with the right guys this time.

Now, let's just hope one day, Hetty feels happy enough to leave us alone again – otherwise planning her birthday surprise could be even harder than normal!
