Hetty's office, not long after saying goodbye to Callen and Sam

'I know, I know. Sending agents to foreign countries can be a scary thing, not knowing if they'll come back alive and what not, but I'm sure they'll try their very best to come home alive.' Granger said to worried Hetty.

'Thanks. Sigh. What might happen to them is not my only concern, what also worries me is what it might mean for the rest of the team if it was to go badly!' Hetty said.

'That too'.

'It may not show most of the time, but there is a lot that I worry about during intense missions like this!'

'And, I worry about the same things as you do, while also hiding it well.' Granger responded.

'Just have to have faith that they will do everything they can to make it home while we do what we can from here.'

'You're right'

Silence.

'Any chance you want to dig the whiskey out right now? Since we'll be waiting a while to hear from them?' Granger asked.

'Well, maybe just a little bit.' Hetty responded.
