For Good from Wicked. Callen loses it with a suspect when he makes remarks about Melissa but it's nothing compared to the wrath of Melissa. Callen's point of view.

…I'm limited.
Just look at me.
I'm limited.
And just look at you.
You can do all I couldn't do.
Glinda...
So now it's up to you,
For both of us.
Now it's up to you…
I watch as Sam and Melissa interrogate our suspect. Melissa barged in as I pulled him to stand up by the collar. I left knowing that if I didn't I'd have probably punched the guy. Melissa has taught me the art of restraint well. He was making comments about our Mels. I wouldn't have been blamed if I had punched him but it wouldn't do any good.
'She's hot.' 'Wouldn't mind being in a cell with her…' and other crude remarks. Melissa the one who brought his sorry butt in for questioning, I think he's got a soft spot for our Mels… As if she would ever go there…. The guys on a loser there even if he is innocent which I very much doubt.
…I've heard it said,
That people come into our lives
For a reason
Bringing something we must learn.
And we are lead to those
Who help us most to grow if we let them.
And we help them in return.
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you…
Granger is watching the interrogation from the head of the table, his expression unreadable, but he's interested to see how this goes. Sam is stood by the door and Melissa is sat opposite our suspect. I watch on the screen.
'So what did you do?' Melissa asks as she sits.
'No comment.' The guy leans forward. Melissa mimics his movement.
'No comment. I like no comments… makes me think there's a bit of a mystery to solve.' She smiles. She heard all his crude remarks and now she's playing him for a fool...
'Man of mystery I am agent...?'
'Oh please… Melissa to anyone who reckons they could survive in a cell with me.'
'Melissa…' Her name rolls of his tongue and sounds so wrong.
'So what did you do to annoy my colleague? He doesn't randomly grab people by the collar.'
'He was being an ass.'
'He does that. You get used to him…' I smile as I watch Melissa sit back in her chair and look towards Sam. She knows I'm watching this. Sam smiles back at her.
'He doesn't say much does he?' Our suspect points at Sam.
'Agent Hanna?' Melissa faces Sam feigning surprise and winks.
'I need a drink Melissa do you want one?' Sam asks. Melissa shakes her head as she faces the suspect. Our suspect nods as Sam takes his leave.
'Finally alone…' He comments. The way he says it makes my skin crawl why did Sam leave her alone with this sleezeball?
…Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun,
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood.
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
But because I knew you.
I have been changed for good…
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime.
So, let me say before we part:
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you.
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart.
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you'll have rewritten mine
By being my friend…
Sam appears seconds later. Granger stands up. I turn to face him.
'Do you think that's wise Agent Hanna? Leaving Agent Createn alone with that guy…'
'She can handle it…' Sam answers him as he stands next to me. We watch as Melissa stands up and sits on the edge of the desk next to him on the screen. We both know she can more than handle him…
…Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea.
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
In a distant wood.
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
But because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good…
'So? Why did you get rid of Mr Silent and Broody?' The guys asks.
'I figure that Mr Silent and Broody would want to go check on Mr Ass.' I roll my eyes. How original.
'Oh so just looking out for colleagues ?' He's fishing but Mels is not giving the game away.
'Keep them happy I get an easier life…' Melissa shrugs as he leans in and brings his hands up from his lap. She grabs his arm and pulls him up so that his face is to the table and his arm behind his back.
'Where's the weapons?'
'Ow that hurts.'
'Weapons!'
'Warehouse on Worth street. It's known to the cops.' He caves in.
'See it wasn't so hard to make us all happy was it? By the way they're my partners not just colleagues…' She releases his arm and sits him back down before walking to the door. She disappears out of shot. The guy is in a stunned silence rubbing his wrist where she had hold of him. That's gonna bruise…
…And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done,
You blamed me for.
But then,
I guess,
We know there's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore.
Like a comet pulled from orbit
(Like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes a sun.
(By a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder
(Like a seed dropped by bird)
Halfway through the wood.
(In the wood)
Who can say if I've been changed for the better.
I do believe I have been changed for the better.
And because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
'You get that?' She asks as she joins me and Sam by the screen. I smile.
'Oh we got every word,' I answer her with a smile before adding 'Nicely done.'
If I'd have known she would do that I wouldn't have had a go myself. No-one out here had been expecting that to go down the way it did… I could almost forgive her for calling me an ass… Sam is smiling.
'Sorry G for calling you an ass.'
'I'm sor…'
'Why are you Agent Createn he is?' Granger interrupts me as I try to apologise.
'Granger…' She warns him. 'Sam, Callen why don't you go get the weapons? Happy hunting! I'll read this guy his rights…'
Me and Sam both nod as we leave. 'Happy Hunting!' She's starting to sound a little like Hetty but it kind of suits her. I put my hand on her shoulder as I pass. Why do I worry?
…Because I knew you
I have been changed
For good…
