A/N: sorry about the long gap between my last chapter and now but have had some tragedy in the family and then issues all revolving that causing me little time to be updating

Summary: this comes after Nell shoots the man the whole shooting at her place and one at the office


It has been a week since Nell had shot and killed the man inside Hetty house and no one has heard from Nell or seen her. Callen finally got tired or waiting to hear from her and instead headed to her place and knocked but when there wasn't an answer he used the key she had given him.

Nell was sitting on the couch when he opened the door, "What you doing here?"

He passed her bag of food as sat down next to her, "No one has heard from you so came to check on you."

She glared at him, "Am just fine."

"When you shoot someone for the first time doesn't mean wont affect you."

She huffed, "I am just fine."

"Than how come you have been staying inside the house the last week?"

She coughs, "I have this nasty cold."

"Everyone goes through some bad things after they shoot someone and kill them."

"You have no idea what I am going through."

"The first time that I killed someone was feeling the same thing but learned talking to some does help."

She leaned against his shoulder, "Should I be feeling like if happened again would do the same thing?"

"He didn't give you a choice in the end one of you were going to die."

She smacked his shoulder, "Your sounding a lot like Nate right about now."

"I have no idea what you mean."

"Are you saying this is normal after a shooting? Because none of you have."

"We have all learned to deal with these kind of things overtime. You should never feel bad about killing someone who wanted to do harm to you."

She leaned against him sighing, "I know that but the voices in my head are telling me different."

"Your thinking about this far to much."

They settled down on the couch to watch some movies and he knew things would be getting back to normal with sometime.

After the shooting at OSP Hetty looked around at her team, "Get her to a hospital and Ms. Jones thank you."

Nell had put her gun behind her back, "What's going on here?"

Hetty had them follow her upstairs, "Mr. Beale lockdown the room."

"Sure," he said doing so. "But why?"

"Director Vance had the whole investigation started to lure me to DC in hopes in sniffing out who the mole in here actually is. But instead it didn't do anything but almost cause catastrophe leaving this place vulnerable but in the end you all did the right thing."

Deeks was first to ask, "Did this damn thing turn up anything?"

She shook her head, "Nothing that have heard."

"What are we going to do?"

"Keep going about business as usual but looking for this mole."

Callen spoke first, "Do we know how deep this problem has gone?"

"That we know someone leaked the address of my homes but nothing is saying anymore has been compromised."

"Should we be concerned?" Sam asked.

"Mr. Hanna right now have some security concerns so best Michelle be on alert."

"What are we doing around here?"

"Were beefing up security around here and than personnel are on alert."
