P.S. I want to thank Dark-Supernatural-Angel, EmmyMK, Ambrosia Rush, & Hope and Love for all the reviews! They keep me going!
"Hello?" Maddie said answering her phone.
"Hey Maddie!"
"Hey Kensi. What's up?"
"Just wondering if you wanted to go to lunch today?" Kensi said as she looked back at Deeks who was with her making sure Callen didn't overhear the conversation.
"Lunch? Sure. What time?"
"I'll pick you up at noon? So that's a half hour? That ok?"
"Perfect." Maddie told her.
"Good. I'll see you then!" Kensi replied before hanging up and looking at Deeks. "We're good."
"Good." Deeks said from where he was leaning against the wall. "Let's hope Sam can get Callen there."
Kensi nodded and the two of them made their way back to their desk to find Callen and Sam in a discussion looking more like Sam giving him a lecture. Deeks stopped abruptly, grabbed Kensi hand and pulled her behind on of the pillars out of view from Sam and Callen.
"What are you doing?" Kensi said confused as he pressed her into the wall, his face inches from hers.
"Shh." Deeks whispered back. "Listen."
"Drop it Sam." Callen snapped.
"No." Sam replied calmly. "I can't believe you would just give up the best thing that has happened to you!"
"Sam please drop it." Callen said again almost pleading.
They could hear Sam sigh before he spoke again, "Just tell me why you did it and we can go to lunch."
Neither Sam nor Callen spoke for a few minutes and Kensi and Deeks didn't think Callen was going to answer. Yet finally after a long break Callen spoke, his voice soft fill with desperation and rejection.
"She doesn't want me Sam." He said. "I heard her talking to Chris. She wants her mom, her dad, and her life back in Utah before me. Maddie doesn't want me in her life. And I thought…"
"You would push her away before she pushed you away." Sam finished for him.
"Yeah." Callen replied quietly. Deeks and Kensi stood quietly behind the pillar looking at each other; Kensi had a hand over her mouth, her eyes sad at hearing her Lead Agent's voice break.
"Ah Mr. Callen, Mr. Hanna." Hetty said coming into the conversation. "I'm glad I caught you before you left. If would stop by the boathouse and get some papers I left there before you went to lunch I would appreciate greatly."
"Sure Hetty." Sam replied. "Do you know where in the boathouse they are?"
"I believe on the table or possibly in the interrogation room. I'm not quite sure."
"Sure Hetty." Callen replied. "Let's go Sam."
"Let's go." Kensi said softly looking at Deeks who was staring right back at her, smiling with soft eyes. "Deeks?" she said nervously as she always did when he was this close.
"Yeah." Deeks breathed out before backing away. Kensi let out a sigh she didn't know she was holding and knew her and Maddie had lots to talk about now.
Lunch with Kensi and Maddie
"Hey Kensi!" Maddie greeted her getting into the car.
"Hey! How are you?" Kensi replied taking off down the road.
"I'm good. Where we going for lunch?"
"I thought we'd try that new Mexican place we saw a few weeks ago." Kensi replied.
"Oh yeah that one looked good!"
"Good but first we have to stop by the boathouse, I can't find one of these earrings I wore on a mission last week and if I don't find them Hetty will kill me. They were worth a fortune!" Kensi told Maddie faking a slight panic making Maddie completely believe her.
"Oh no!" Maddie said worried for her. "We'll let's go, I'll help you find them."
Kensi nodded and took off driving towards the boathouse while also sending a text to Sam and the others saying:
On our way. Stay out of sight. –Kensi
Will do. He's in there already so hurry up. I can't keep telling him the doors jammed; he'll figure it out soon. –Sam
Lol. Be there in 8. -Kensi
So as Maddie and Kensi drove down the road, talking and chatting and catching up, Kensi could tell Maddie wasn't completely happy.
"Deeks told me you haven't unpacked yet." Kensi said quietly as they pulled up to the boathouse.
"He would." She muttered. "I'm guessing he told you why then."
"Yeah he did."
"Figures. I was starting to this morning but I didn't get very far. Only managed to get the sheets and comforter on the bed." Maddie told her laughing more to herself as they got out of the car and headed inside to the boathouse.
"How about I come help you this afternoon? Maybe Nell could come too, we could make it a girls day or something." Kensi offered walking in.
"Only if Hetty would let you!" Maddie said laughing. "So what does this oh so expensive earring look like?"
"Three diamonds, that hang down, really shinny. You can't miss it really." Kensi said starting to pretend to look for it around the boathouse. "I can't believe I lost it."
"You lose things all the time Kens." Maddie said laughing a little as she looked as well. "Where do you think you lost it at."
"I don't know. It could be anywhere." She replied. "Although I do remember interrogating the suspect with Deeks and I had them in then. Maybe they're in there."
"You want me to check?" Maddie asked starting towards the interrogation room.
"Yeah if you don't mine. Just do a quick sweep of the place, I'll keep looking out here."
"Alright!" Maddie replied as she made her way to the interrogation room.
She saw that the door was closed and gently pushed it open and started to scan the room starting with the left side of the room as she walked in further. When she had gotten far enough from the door she heard it shut suddenly and turned around to find it had been shut very fast. Maddie sighed and started to walk towards the door again only to realize she wasn't alone in the room. Turning around slowly she found her Uncle G Callen sitting in the corner of the room farthest from the door with his arms cross in front of him looking at her.
Maddie turned around again quickly knowing the tears were going to spill soon if she didn't leave and she went straight to the door only to find it was locked.
"It's no use. It's locked." Callen told her from the corner.
"No shit sherlock." Maddie replied sarcastically turning around to face him. "Let me out."
"I can't." he replied not moving. "Sam locked me in here."
"Then how in the hell do I get out?" Maddie snapped at him.
"You don't Ms. Maddie." Hetty's voice came through some speakers.
"What?" Maddie asked out loud. "Let me out Hetty."
"Nope. Not until you and Mr. Callen work this out. This is ridiculous you two." Hetty told them. "You aren't leaving that room until you talk. End of story."
Maddie let out a sigh and sat down in one of the chairs in the opposite corner of the room not looking at Callen who continued to observe her silently. The two of them sat there together in the same small room for 40 minutes, not speaking to each other and on Maddie's part not looking. However that wasn't the case for Callen, he watched as his niece sat there staring at the wall. Her knees drawn up to her chest, her arms around her legs keeping them close to her as she rested her chin on top of her legs. He could tell she was holding back the tears, trying to show this wasn't upsetting her but it was. What Maddie didn't know was this was breaking him as well; he was just better at hiding his emotions.
"Hetty." Maddie finally called out after 45 minutes of silence. "Please let me out of here. Clearly he has nothing to say to me."
"But you want him too." Sam's voice said softly. Maddie glared at where she thought the camera was before going to stare at the wall again.
"I'll tell you what Ms. Maddie, I'll let you out on one condition." Hetty told her, Maddie turned her head to the camera to show she was listening. "You ask Mr. Callen one question that is relevant to this situation and if he answers then you both may leave."
Maddie nodded her head slight but turned her head and buried it in her knees, hiding her face from him. Another 10 minutes had passed and the team outside of the room considered giving up. Yet just when they were about to give up Maddie spoke. Her voice was quiet, soft yet you could hear the determination in her voice; she wanted answers.
"Why?" she asked raising her head to look at him. "Why don't you want me anymore?"
