in this chapter thought would throw in some trouble and fun for a few team members to start a new relationship


Kensi glares at her partner and punches his arm, "Yeah and you needed your fix of coffee."

"What are we getting on this case?" McGee asked sitting down at his desk.

Eric and Nell walk in with a tablet each, "Okay so far we have found some connections to quite a few hot shots out here in DC for Rice to try and do some business with but no idea as of yet to what he has been planning on doing though," Nell told them.

Deeks takes a drink of his coffee, "Okay what are the names that come put with? Put them on the screen," he told them and Eric handed him another tablet to use and tossed some stuff onto the plasma screen as Deeks looked at it in his hands.

"We have so far come up with ten names," Eric said but was interrupted.

"David and Tom Carson, Evan Johnson, Christian and Emmett Olson, Kalvin, Mick and Rick Fergusson, Fin Ramos and Mike Patterson," Deeks said before they had the chance to say the names and all eyes were instantly looking at him. "I spend months undercover with them."

"Do you remember if any of them were especially close with Rice?" Kensi asked trying to take focus off him

He shakes his head and taps a few times on the tablet, "The Olson and Carson brothers were also with him as bodyguards and think a few of them are."

"Eric and Nell find everything you can on the guys and Deeks you look through what they have and see if can come up with more names," Callen told them.


that night

Tony walks into Abby's lab where everyone but Deeks was standing around, "Okay how about since Christmas is a week away we go out and have some fun," Abby suggested.

Breena who was there looked around, "I have some work at home that needs to be done and Alex can stay with me and help wrap presents."

"He would love that and Marty probably could use the time to get him some more presents," Abby said.

Alex is sitting in Tony's chair playing on the kids computer Nell had given him when they were still in LA and Deeks is typing away on McGee's computer as Abby and the group walks off the elevator and Alex runs over and hugs Abby's legs, "Hi Abby."

She lifts him up and kisses his forehead, "If your dad will be okay with it Breena wants to have a dinner date with you for tonight."

His eyes light up and smiles over at his new friend and turns to face his dad, "Daddy can I?"

Deeks smirks figuring was their way of getting him some time alone, "Yeah sure kiddo can have a date with her."

He giggles and reaches for him and Deeks takes him from Abby, "When and where, Bree?"

She shrugs, "Whenever you want to since they are all busy here and I have nothing to do here."

Deeks hands her his backpack, "Will stop by tonight and pick yuo up but if to late can stay the night, okay?"

Alex nods and runs around hugging everyone, "Okay bye bye," he all but dragged Breena towards the elevators with Palmer behind them.

"So what are we going to do tonight?" Tony asked sitting at his desk looking at the two teams.

"How about since we can't find anything more we go shopping and maybe pick him up and do movie night?" Abby asked.

~~~NCIS~~~

a while later

The two teams ended up at one of the many clubs in DC called 'The HotRod Club' and get to the door one of the bouncers look them over and stare at Nell and Kensi trying to undress them with just his eyes and close to drooling, "Um sure old enough in here?" He asked Nell.

That earned a few snickers and Callen says something to him which has him going deadly pale and soon they are all inside and see the place is pretty packed for being a weeknight and hard to see to much in front of them and they found two tables that they put together and Tony and Sam went to the bar and ordered the drinks for the teams and Callen was scanning the place, "How about a dance?" Abby asked pulling Deeks towards the dance floor.

Kensi laughs as watch Deeks being pulled by his arm by the goth and turn to see Callen and Nell were no longer there but had walked off to the pool tables, "So McGee how about go and show those two how to really play pool?"

He raises an eyebrow but follows her, "Kensi and McGee you ready to lose?" Callen joked with them.

Kensi rolls her eyes at her friend, "$50 says you lose."

Deeks and Abby soon join the group when Sam and Tony walk back with their drinks, "Come on Kensi how are yuo losing?" Tony asked.

Deeks takes a drink of his beer happy to be around his friends, "Yeah Fern you want some help over there?"

She makes her shot and smacks his arm as she passes him, "Shut up Deeks and stop staring DiNozzo."

Ziva glares over at her secret boyfriend, "Tony not good idea to stare to long at her ass," Nell said.

All eyes turn to the senior-field-agent who looked away, "I have no idea what you mean what you guys are talking about"

Kensi walks over and punches his arm, "I can slit your throat right here and no one would even know it was me," she whispered in his ear.


a few hours later, still at the club

The group is still at the bar and Nell, Kensi, Ziva, Abby and McGee are totally drunk and Nell stumbles as she gets from her seat and head for the bathroom and no one really notices she was gone and she comes out of the bathroom and some guy pins her against the wall and she can't really think straight as the guy breathes against her neck, "Hm been watching you with your friends for a few hours now and think could use more company than them."

Nell glances around and can't see her friends as he starts to pull her towards the exit, "Where we going?"

He smirks and pins her against his mustang and kisses her passionately as she tries to get away from him, "Nice a fiesty one."

She rolls her eyes and brings her knee to the spot between his legs and he drops to the ground and she takes off the way she thinks is towards the bar with the man on her heels.

Inside Callen looks around and notices a certain redheaded analysis was gone for a while now and heads towards the bathroom and after determing she wasn't in there he gets a feeling something was wrong and can hear a commotion outside and runs out the door and see a man trying to force a woman to the ground and he grabs the man around his bicep and pistol whips the man and places his SIG Sauer back in its spot and rushes over to Nell, "You okay Nell?"

She nods and puts her head in her hands between her legs and stares at the ground, "Thanks for that Callen."

He helps her stand, "Come on we better go and get everyone and get out of here since it's a school night and we have to be back there at 0800 and its past midnight-"

She interrupts him, "Papa bear Gibbs is going to throw a fit seeing a few of yuo with hangovers," a voice said from behind them.

Callen doesn't have to turn to know who said that, "Yeah could say it that way Gibbs."

"G go and take her to one of the cars and will go and get the rest of them," Gibbs told his friend walking off.

Sam looks around notices there was 2 people not there anymore, "Come on DC doesn't have better things to do then LA," Deelks told Tony.

Tony snickers, "No but our team know how to have a lot more fun then you guys do," he said as feel slap to back of his head and rubs it. "Shutting up boss."

Gibbs slaps the back of Tony's head, "You all have work in the morning and not noticed that two of your party have been away from you for a bit now and outside waiting. Better not come to work so hungover can't even work or in deep shit."

Callen is helping Nell to one of the rentals the team had taken there when she stumbles and since he had a few drinks she took him down with her and she landed on top of him after he took the brint of the fall and she laughs before kissing him deeply. Callen resists for a moment before kissing her before can feel like have several sets of eyes on them and he breaks away to see Abby and Gibbs were standing nearby smirking as he stands up helping her.

Abby snickers as rest of the group walks out and since Sam, McGee and Gibbs were the sober ones they each took a car and headed home or to the hotel. Breena woke up as there was a knock at her front door and Sam is there and picks up the small child and they head for the hotel and after making sure they all got into their own rooms and notice Callen was sober and didn't fail to notice a certain redhead follow him inside the shared room and he walked in and saw Nell asleep against Callen's side and he falls asleep on his own bed.
