Fatima was sitting in ops, trying not to cry. Nell was working to get a security detail assigned to the safehouse Kensi and Deeks were staying at, but currently it was just them and Monty, plus Sam and Callen.
Rountree walked in, ready to comfort his partner.
"Hey, Fatima, you okay?" he asked softly.
"Not really," Fatima said truthfully. Fatima stood up and wandered over to him. Rountree gently hugged her and smiled gently.
"Sweetheart, you know he can't find Kens, right? Or NCIS, or you. All right?" he asked softly.
"But what if?!" she yelled, crying.
"Shh, I know that this is a girl thing, okay? I know, sweetie. He's probably too scared to actually go after her, he just wants her to be freaked out. Okay?" he said gently. Fatima sniffled and buried herself in his arms. He stroked her back and kissed her forehead, then let her relax into him.
