Because I've been putting the clues together anad it's already in my head.


She grabs her bag and does a once over of the room that she's seen almost every day for the past 9 years. It's been a ride. Hard times and good. The one thing that she'll always be grateful for is the friendships that she's made.

As she takes one last glance at the big screen, she walks out the sliding doors and bids her office adieu.

Her eyes take in every little detail of the second floor before she reaches the stairs and she looks down at the bullpen. "What are you guys doing here?"

There they are. Her second family.

"Did you really think we'd let you leave without saying goodbye?" Kensi smiles in question.

"Yeah, Nellverine. I thought you knew us better than that." The shaggy blonde spouts with a wide grin.

With a sad smile, she trudges down the stairs one at a time. Memories flooding her mind as she takes in each one of their faces. That's one of things she's gonna miss the most - the love.

They're in a line which kinda makes things a little easier for her but not really.

Sam nudges her chin, something that he doesn't do often and wraps his strong arms around her. "You go find your happiness, Nell."

After he pulls back, she can only nod being afraid of breaking down right in front of them.

Next comes the guy who she considers a brother. They both came to OSP around the same time and being the new kids, she's always felt that connection with him. "Shagster."

"Nellma."

She wraps her arms around him in a tight hug for what feels like the last time. Yeah, they say nothing will change but not seeing each other everyday definitely will have a larger impact than any of them are willing to admit. "Take care of Eric for me."

"I will and remember there's alway a bar stool for you at our place."

Somehow she knows this next goodbye is going hurt worse than the others. I mean how do you say goodbye to a woman that's been one of your most trusted confidants for so long. Truth is, Kensi's the best role model she's ever had, especially when it comes to working in a man's world. "You better call me when you get pregnant."

Tears start to form in the brunette's eyes as she holds her friend close. "You know I will."

Kensi pulls back from Nell and immediately turns into her husband's arms for comfort.

The red head turns towards Beale but then remembers something that makes her turn back to the husband and wife duo. "Oh, and I'd like to throw Penelope into the hat of names before anyone else can."

The partners laugh and nod in confirmation that they'll take it into consideration.

And then there's one. This guy, her guy, well who use to be her guy. Her best friend. How does she say goodbye to him? "Beale, you stick to your training."

"I will."

"And you better come visit me in San Francisco."

"I definitely will."

She quickly wraps her arms around his waist, burrowing into his chest. "I'm gonna miss not seeing you everyday."

He places kiss on the top of her head, the tears that were pooling earlier finally falling from his eyes. "I'm gonna miss you, too."

She starts to slowly back away out of the bullpen, giving one last glance, she makes eye contact with her and blows a kiss. Yeah, Hetty may have done some things that she didn't agree with but she's still the one that brought her to this place….to these people. "I love you all."

There's a bunch of "Love yous" and "Miss yous" thrown out.

And for the last time Nell Jones walks down the hall and out of those double doors.
