Note: I'd really like to see Hetty and Roundtree have a scene alone next Season.


Hetty's office

'You wanted to see me, Miss Lange?' Roundtree asked.

'Yes, please sit down, Mr. Roundtree. And you can call me Hetty.' Hetty responded.

He sat down.

'Am I in some kind of trouble?' Roundtree asked.

'No. I've been going over your case files from this past year, and, I'm quite impressed!' Hetty replied.

'You are?'

'I'll admit, when you first came here, I wasn't too impressed. I read your file from the FBI, and you struck me as the type who could get someone by accident.'

'Yeah, I could tell you weren't really impressed with me back then.'

'Not to mention, almost immediately after I told you not to get yourself or anyone else killed, you almost got yourself and a few other good people blown up!'

Roundtree chuckled uncomfortably. 'Yeah, that was a big mistake. But I went to FLETC, became an NCIS agent, and I happen to think I've improved since.'

'I can see. You and Miss Namazi appear to work very well together in OPS and in the field.' Hetty said.

'We do. I really like working with her.'

'The rest of the team appear to like you as well.'

'You know. The team told me a lot about you. You don't seem half as scary as they described.' Roundtree said.

'And how did they describe me?'

'Some of it was: Sneaks up on people, has eyes in the back of your head, is very scary when you're pissed, is an angel in disguise, doesn't mess around with anyone, and more.'

'Hmm. Very accurate descriptions. Anything else?' Hetty asked.

'Callen did say you have a drink stash.'

'Which is true! Except I'm not having Scotch at the moment. Would you like some tea?'

'Sure!'

'You know, I could get used to having you around, Mr. Roundtree.' Hetty said.
