Note: This takes place sometime in the Fall of 2020 (I'm hoping Season 12 will have this at some point.)
It had been a long 2 days for Team Hetty. They had been working tirelessly to find Jennifer Kim's mother.
2 days ago, Kim had presented a possible new lead in finding her mother. That caught Hetty's attention, and the team had been working non stop night and day trying to find her.
After some time, Hetty sent the team home when she saw how tired everyone was. And she stayed.
The next morning
Callen came into work, and saw Hetty asleep on the couch in her office.
He tapped on her shoulder.
'Hey sleepy head.'
'Groan. What time is it?'
'6 am.'
'Oh bugger. I only closed my eyes for like one minute! About 3 hours ago.' Hetty responded.
'Wow. So, all nighter? Again?'
'Sigh. I know that lead looks like nothing now. But any chance of finding that girl's mother, I have to take!'
'You sure that's the reason, and not because you want to find the woman your now dead partner supposidly loved?' Callen asked.
'Don't get cheeky with me, young man!'
'Sorry. It's just, you're clearly exhausted, and havn't had much sleep. I'm worried you might collapse somewhere that's not here. Please go home and get some sleep, and before you object, I'm telling you this because I care about you.'
After looking at him for 1 minute looking like she wanted to snap back, Hetty got up and went home.
'Well that was easier then I expected.' Callen said to himself.
The lead eventually went cold. And Hetty felt guilty about pushing her team to the limit for nothing.
'Hey, we'll find her.' Callen reasuured her.
'I certainly hope so, Mr. Callen.'
