Author Note: Welcome to the newest chapter of this story. I am trying to make sure to have all of my January fanfiction posting ready by the New Year so I can work on February fanfiction posting. Right now I am working on the second or third week of January.
Chapter 3
The next morning, Callen woke up and knew that he needed to find Anna's father to find if Anna's claim was real but he already knew that it was not true. He dropped the kids off at daycare before leaving for work.
"I will see you guys later on tonight." Callen said to the kids before giving his kids a hug and kiss.
He walked out of the daycare and headed to get into his car. He headed to headquarters. He walked inside and dropped off his bag.
"Mr. Callen? A word?" Hetty asked him.
"Sure, what's going on?" Callen asked as he followed into her office.
"I know that you are trying to find Marissa and I support that but I can't have you working on her case." Hetty responded to him.
"Hetty, what are you saying?" Callen asked his boss.
"I need you to go home until we find your wife. I am sorry but I know that you are just trying to help but I really need you to stop." Hetty responded to him.
"Hetty, I can't look at my children and keep lying to them saying that their mom is on a business trip. We need to find her. I need to find her." Callen responded to his boss.
"We all want to find her." Hetty responded to him.
Right as Callen was talking to Hetty, Sam, Kensi and Deeks were talking upstairs. Sam really hoped that his friend was not going to be upset about him talking to Hetty but knew that it was important for this to happen. Callen had been over stepping with the case.
"Are you sure that I did the right thing about this?" Sam asked Kensi.
"It is hard to say. I know that Callen never did this with us looking for Michelle before we found out that she died." Kensi responded to him. "I think that you should have let Callen be part of finding his wife."
"I know. It was hard to talk to Hetty about it but I know that we can find Marissa but I just need G to be off my back for a little bit so we can." Sam argued with his friend.
"I know and I get it." Kensi said to her friend.
Sam walked downstairs right as Callen walked over to get his bag.
"You know, Sam. That was stupid to talk to Hetty about me trying to find my wife so that my kids could have their mother back also can I can have my wife back. I can't keep lying to my children when I don't know if my wife is coming back." Callen said to him as Hetty came walking out of her office.
"Mr. Callen, enough!" She yelled at him. "It's time for you to go home."
"Fine, I am going but I will find Marissa myself and that means tracking down Anna's father on my own then I will. Sam, do not contract me again." Callen said to them. "As far as the team goes, I am done."
"G." Sam said as he watched his best-friend walked away. He knew that Callen just needed to calm down and this is the best way.
"He is going to be back." Hetty said to him. "It's going to be okay."
"I don't know Hetty. We won't know until he comes back." Sam said as he walked away.
Callen got home and he was still pretty upset. He did not want the kids to see him like this so he left them at daycare. He pulled out his phone and dialed Anna's father.
"Hello." Arkady said answering his phone.
"We need to meet now." Callen responded to him. "Where are you?"
"I am coming to your house right now. We need to talk about my daughter. I think that she is up to something." Arkady responded to him.
"Okay, I will wait here for you to arrive." Callen responded to him before hanging up the phone.
Arkady arrived about twenty minutes later to find Callen sitting outside of the house. He knew that his daughter had something to do with Marissa's disappearance but he just hoped that he was wrong.
"So what is going on with Anna?" Callen asked him.
"I think Anna has something to do with your wife's disappearance. She called me and begged that I back up her story which I did with Sam and the rest of your team but I can't do that with you. I want to help you get your wife back." Arkady said to him.
"Thank you but I need you to come clean with Sam and the others." Callen responded to him.
"Why are you not at work?" Arkady asked him.
"I got kicked off of the case because I was trying to help get her back. Sam told Hetty and she told me to leave. I got in a fight with Sam right before I left saying that I am done being friends with Sam and being on the team. I did not mean any of it and I hope that they know that I did not mean any of it." Callen responded to him.
"I am sure that they did." Hetty said walking up with the rest of the team. "We know that you are hurting and forgive you for that but we need to find Anna and where she has Marissa. We can do it together."
"Yes we can." Callen and Arkady responded to him.
"Right after you explain why you lied Arakady." Sam responded to him
