#Watch – I'll be watching you – 200 words | Rating: K+ | Genre: Friendship
They all thought he was here to spy on them, to make sure they were up to scratch and not breaking too many of the rules. A bureaucratic nightmare with no sense of humour and too much authority. None of them trusted easily, he got that. This job didn't come easy. But he had expected them to warm up a bit more.
Hell, even Henrietta hadn't been too sure of him those first few weeks. That had hurt. Thankfully the two of them were back to being verbal sparring partners. Though she was very guarded about this team.
So, he watched them.
They were a tough team to crack and he still hadn't done it. Maybe he has been by himself too long. This team endlessly confused him. It took him far too long to realise why they were so protective of each other.
They were a family. So tightly wound together that it was hard for anyone to unravel them. He wondered how Deeks and Jones did it.
Well, he didn't get to this point in the game by making stupid mistakes and being impatient. He was skilled, surely, he could do it.
He just had to watch them.
