(At NCIS: OSP Headquarters)

(Callen's P.O.V.)

I walked straight to Hetty's Office, where Hetty was sitting at her desk looking at something on her computer, and said:

"Tell me you didn't know the CIA Agent working on this case."

Hetty looked up at me.

"Tell me you didn't know Special Agent Tracy Rosetti was the CIA Agent on this case." I said.

"Mr. Callen, I didn't know who the CIA sent over until you just told me." Hetty said.

I sighed.

"Is there a problem?" Hetty asked.

"….Nothing I can't handle." I said more to myself than to Hetty.

Then, I left Hetty's office, and headed toward the bull pen, where I saw Sam sitting at his desk, and Emily standing at hers.

Emily.

I wish I knew what she was thinking.

I walked into the bull pen and headed toward my desk.

I felt eyes on me, as I sat down at my desk.

"You ok?" I heard Sam ask.

"Yep." I said, opening my laptop and waited for it to come to life.

"So, Tracy was your wife?" I heard Emily ask.

"Yep." I said, keeping my eyes focused on the computer screen. "She was also my partner when I was in the CIA."

"What happened?" I heard Emily ask.

"It didn't work out." I said. "And she took Buddy."

"Who's Buddy?" I heard Emily ask.

"His dog." I heard Sam answer.

"I really loved that dog." I said, feeling sad.

Just then, I heard a phone ring, followed by Sam's voice:

"Sam Hanna."

It was silent for a couple seconds, then I heard Sam say:

"Thanks, Kensi."

I looked over at Sam as he hung up his phone.

"Kensi and Deeks arrested two people and are bringing them to the boatshed." Sam said.

"Let's go meet them." I said.

Then, I stood up, and the three of us left.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Once Sam, Emily, and I entered the Boatshed, I saw Tracy standing in the main room.

My guard went up once again.

"Agent Blye and Detective Deeks are in an interrogation room with one of the suspects." Tracy said. "The other suspect is in another room."

"Let's go, Sam." I said, heading toward the interrogation room where I was sure the other suspect was.

"Not so fast, Callen." I heard Tracy say.

I looked at her.

"I am going in there with you." Tracy said.

"You're not the lead in this investigation." I said.

"For the CIA I am." Tracy said.

I was about to protest, when Emily suddenly said:

"Callen you're not going to win, so, just shut up and go in with her."

I looked at Emily surprised.

"Trust me." Emily said.

"She's right, G." Sam said.

I sighed.

I then looked at Tracy.

"Whatever." I said.

Then, I headed toward the interrogation room.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

(Emily's P.O.V.)

Sam and I were watching the two interrogation's going on in each interrogation room.

On the left side of the T.V. screen, it showed Kensi and Marty interrogating their suspect, and on the right, it showed Callen and Tracy interrogating their suspect.

Sam and I both sighed at the same time.

I looked at him.

"Why did you sigh?" I asked him.

"Why did you sigh?" Sam asked, looking at me.

"I asked you first." I said.

It was silent for a couple seconds, then Sam said:

"I'm worried about G., and how he's doing with Tracy being here."

"Me too. " I said. "…..What happened between them?"

"Tracy and G. were on a mission, when they got into a gun fight and became out numbered." Sam said. "Callen got out of the building, but didn't see Tracy. So, he went back in to get her, only to find out she wasn't there."

"Where did she go?" I asked.

"Callen went to their safe house." He said. "He found her there drinking a cup of coffee without a care in the world."

"She wasn't worried about him?" I asked.

"Nope." Sam said.

"She didn't wonder where he was?" I asked in disbelief.

"Not even a little." Sam said.

How could someone do that?

If a situation like that happened to me, I would be worried, and wondered where my partner was.

For work or relationship.

"She's the reason for the rule." Sam said.

"What rule?" I asked.

"G. has a rule about dating." Sam said. "The rule is, he doesn't date a girl who owns her own handcuffs."

"In other words, he doesn't go out with girl cops." I said, feeling sad.

Sam nodded.

I looked at Tracy on the T.V. screen.

All because of her, I had no chance with Callen.

Just my luck, I thought, as I began to feel even more sad.

Suddenly, Eric popped up on the T.V. screen.

"Hey, guys," Eric said.

"What's up, Eric?" Sam asked.

"I'm sending the address of Kyle Morris' girlfriend's apartment to your phones." Eric said.

"Thanks, Eric." Sam said. Then he looked at me. "Let's go check it out."

Then, Sam and I left the boatshed.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

(Callen's P.O.V.)

I walked out of the interrogation room, and headed toward the main room of the boatshed.

When I entered the room, I noticed Sam and Emily were gone.

"Callen," I heard Tracy say behind me. "Can we please talk?"

I turned around and faced her.

"I have nothing to say." I said.

"Then hear me out." She said.

It was silent for a moment, then Tracy said:

"I miss you."

"Not my problem." I said.

"You don't miss me?" She asked.

"I used to." I said honestly. "…..But I don't anymore."

"So, you don't miss you and me together?" Tracy asked, as she walked up to me. "At the beach….with that dog of yours."

"Buddy." I said.

"Together…like a family." She said.

Tracy put her arms around my waist.

"Don't you miss it?" She asked.

I looked into her eyes for a couple seconds.

And the only thing I thought was, she's not Emily.

"I miss the memories." I said. "I miss Buddy. But I don't miss you."

I removed her arms from my waist.

"I moved on, Tracy." I said. "You should, too."

Tracy studied me for a moment, then she asked:

"Does she know?"

"Does who know?" I asked.

"Agent Taylor…Does she know how you feel?" Tracy asked.

"How-" I began surprised.

"The way you look at her." She answered, cutting me off. "You used to look at me the same way."

I looked away from her.

"So, she doesn't know." I heard Tracy say.

"Stop interrogating me." I snapped at her.

"I can help you forget her, if you want." Tracy said.

"Stop it, Tracy." I said. "I meant it."

Just then, I heard Kensi and Deeks come into the room.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

(Two Day's Later)

(In the Boatshed)

(Emily's P.O.V.)

Callen has been avoiding me and Sam.

And the only reason I could think of, was because of Tracy.

I walked into the boatshed, and saw Tracy standing in the main room watching something on the T.V. screen.

I walked over to her, and saw she was watching Sam and Callen interrogating our newest suspect.

I looked at her.

"Can I talk to you?" I asked.

Tracy looked at me.

"Ok." She said.

"Don't say anything." I said. "Just listen."

Tracy gave me a nod.

"I know I don't know everything that happened between you and Callen." I began. "But I do know you broke his heart. More than you know. And….He doesn't need that kind of hurt again….You're the whole reason why he has that 'don't date a girl with her own handcuffs' rule…You're also one of the many reasons why he doesn't trust easily, and keeps his heart guarded…So, when this case is over, when you leave…..Leave for good."

It was silent for a about a minute, then Tracy asked:

"How do you think he would feel, if he found out what you just said to me?"

"Let him find out." I said. " I don't care. I'm just looking out for him."

Even if I don't have a chance with him, I thought.

"Even if that means he finds out about this, and ends up hating you?" She asked.

"….Yeah." I said. "Even if it means that."

Tracy nodded.

Then, She looked back at the T.V. screen.
